KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak is contemplating initiating contempt proceedings against former attorney-general (AG) Tan Sri Tommy Thomas over alleged libellous passages in the latter's controversial memoirs "My Story: Justice in the Wilderness".

The proposed bid was in connection to statements made in the book which implicates the former prime minister in the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.
