Pakatan Harapan (PH) has insisted that those convicted of corruption or abuse of power should serve the full terms handed down by the courts. In a Facebook post, the coalition emphasized the importance of the judicial process concluding independently and orderly. PH stated that decisions in high-profile cases must consider public confidence in the country's commitment to its agenda.
The party highlighted that previous high-profile corruption cases had harmed Malaysia's international standing, but recent efforts had helped restore trust in the nation's institutions and governance. PH also expressed support for the government's anti-corruption measures and its dedication to institutional reform. The statement was made in the lead-up to a Federal Territories Pardons Board meeting, with Sin Chew Daily reporting that a new pardon request from former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was likely to be discussed by the board. PH did not directly address Najib, the pardon request, or the meeting.
