Kenapa PH senyap bila Peter Anthony bebas secara parol, soal Wee
Jangan pilih kasih, prinsip keadilan perlu selaras dan konsisten, kata presiden MCA.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) has been criticized for its silence following the release of former Sabah minister Peter Anthony on parole after serving only one year of a three-year sentence for falsifying documents in connection with a contract. MCA President Wee Ka Siong stated that the PH's stance does not align with the legislative framework and the purposes outlined in the Federal Constitution.
He noted that the Malaysian justice system provides mechanisms for conditional release and commutations, while the prerogative power of granting pardons is held by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong under Article 42(1) of the Constitution. Wee emphasized that it is not appropriate for PH to demand that offenders serve the full term of their sentences without considering the established legal channels that allow for sentence reduction.
