All must serve sentence according to the law, says PH council
PH's presidential council says no one is above the law, and it stands by the advice tendered by the attorney-general and federal territories minister to the pardons board.
The Pakatan Harapan presidential council has reaffirmed its commitment to fighting corruption and affirmed that no one is above the law. Former Prime Minister Najib Razak has been granted a conditional pardon and can serve the remainder of his six-year jail sentence in his home under house arrest, provided he pays a RM50 million fine in full.
The Federal Territories Pardons Board, presided over by Sultan Ibrahim, approved Najib's pardon after a meeting of the board. BN secretary-general Zambry Abdul Kadir welcomed the decision and expressed gratitude for the process, emphasizing respect for the constitution and rule of law.
