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 urged those convicted of corruption or abuse of power to serve their entire sentence, particularly in high-profile cases. The coalition expressed support for the Madani government's efforts to combat corruption and upheld the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's call for thorough investigations into such matters. PH emphasized that public confidence in national institutions relies on handling these cases appropriately, citing previous high-profile corruption cases that have tarnished Malaysia's international reputation.
The statement did not specify any cases or individuals but came as the Federal Territories Pardons Board (FTPB) prepares to meet on September 11 to consider Najib Razak's plea for a pardon regarding his convictions in the 1MDB scandal.
