Former Umno leader Lokman Noor Adam has been ruled to have committed contempt of court related to former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption case.

The Kuala Lumpur High Court sentenced him to one month in jail effective today, following its ruling in favour of the prosecution’s committal application.

However, the judge allowed a stay of execution on the custodial sentence, pending an appeal to the Court of Appeal.
