Those convicted of graft must serve full sentence, says PH
The coalition says high-profile cases must be handled without compromising public confidence.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) has stated that those convicted of corruption or abuse of power should serve their entire sentence, according to a PH secretariat council statement issued late last night. The coalition, which has advocated for institutional reforms and good governance, supports the Madani government's efforts to combat corruption and uphold the law.
PH emphasized that ongoing judicial processes must proceed without any perception of influence from other factors, as public confidence in national institutions hinges on how such cases are handled. The statement did not name any specific cases or individuals, but came as reports surfaced that the Federal Territories Pardons Board (FTPB) would meet on September 11 to consider Najib Razak's pardon request related to his 1MDB scandal convictions.
