KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — The Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) has demanded the government clarify why the Federal Territories Pardons Board has postponed consideration of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's application for a royal pardon. According to PAS secretary general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, the deferral cannot occur without instructions or objections from board members or other parties.
He emphasized that transparency is crucial in a case involving a former prime minister, and the public has a right to know the reason behind the delay. The Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department confirmed on September 11 that the 63rd meeting of the Pardons Board for Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya, chaired by Sultan Ibrahim, the Yang di Pertuan Agong XVII, had postponed Najib's petition to a future meeting.
