Umno supreme council member Lokman Noor Adam will file by Friday next week an application to set aside the High Court's leave for contempt proceedings to commence against him.

On Nov 8, it was reported that Lokman (photo, above) was contemplating whether to answer the contempt proceedings brought against him for allegedly threatening a witness in former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s RM2.28 billion 1MDB trial.
