Kenapa PH senyap bila Peter Anthony bebas secara parol, soal Wee

MCA President Wee Ka Siong has questioned the Pakatan Harapan (PH) stance on former Sabah minister Peter Anthony's early release on parole after serving just one year of a three-year sentence, according to a recent statement. The MCA leader argued that the party's inconsistent application of the rule of law is concerning, especially when dealing with high-profile cases involving corruption and misuse of power.

Wee emphasized that the legal framework and constitutional provisions in Malaysia allow for mechanisms like parole and commutations, while pardoning powers remain the prerogative of the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong under Article 42(1) of the Constitution. He stressed that it is unreasonable for PH to insist on full sentences for offenders without considering the existing legal channels that permit sentence reductions.

Wee concluded by pointing out that the principle of fairness should not change based on the individual involved.
