Hannah Yeoh, A-G arrive at Istana Negara ahead of Pardons Board meeting [WATCH]

Kuala Lumpur: Hannah Yeoh, Deputy Prime Minister's Department for Federal Territories, and Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar visited Istana Negara this morning prior to the Federal Territories Pardons Board gathering. Yeoh's car entered the palace grounds at 7:48am, soon followed by another vehicle possibly belonging to the A-G.

Both participants are members of the board, chaired by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia. The meeting comes after reports that the board will reconvene today to discuss former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's pardon request. The application was postponed at the 63rd Federal Territories Pardons Board meeting on September 11, with consideration delayed to a later session.

Under Article 42 of the Federal Constitution, the Federal Territories Pardons Board of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya consists of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and not more than three additional members appointed by the monarch. Yeoh denied earlier tonight that her signature appeared on a document circulating online regarding Najib's house arrest situation.

As of this morning, no official statement has been released regarding the result of today's meeting.
