Former premier Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor have withdrawn their defamation suit against PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli and blogger Chan Chee Kong filed three years ago at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.

Rafizi and Chan also withdrew their counter-claim and these withdrawals were recorded before Judicial commissioner Rohani Ismail in her chambers today.

This is Najib's fifth withdrawal of defamation suits filed against politicians and the media.
