KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 — The Court of Appeal will hear jailed former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s appeal against the dismissal of his legal bid to serve his sentence under house arrest on October 7, his lawyer said on Tuesday.

Earlier this month, the Kuala Lumpur High Court had dismissed Najib’s legal bid to obtain a document that he said would allow him to serve his remaining prison sentence under house arrest. — Reuters
