Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's pardon application has been deferred, and any questions or clarifications should be directed to Hannah Yeoh, the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said has stated. Azalina clarified that she is not responsible for the Pardons Board and that the Legal Affairs Division (BHEUU), under her ministry, only serves as its secretariat.
The BHEUU is responsible for the Pardons Board in each state, with the minister and menteri besar of the respective state acting as executive representatives on the board. Azalina stated that she has no information regarding the reason for the deferment or the new date and therefore could not answer reporters' inquiries after attending a program.
Pas secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan had previously demanded an immediate explanation, viewing the matter as a public interest issue.
