Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh has vehemently denied circulating a purported house-arrest order for former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak that has been circulating on social media. In a statement posted on her Facebook page, Yeoh clarified that she never signed such an order and urged the public not to disseminate the document, which she described as fake.
She emphasized that the Pardons Board had not yet convened to consider the matter, and warned against the circulation of this fraudulent document. Her press secretary had already reported the matter to the authorities over the dissemination of the fake document.
The denial of the house-arrest order came in the wake of renewed speculation surrounding Najib's pardon application. Reports indicated that the Federal Territories Pardons Board, chaired by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, was scheduled to meet again, just a week after deferring Najib's pardon application at its meeting on September 11. The reports suggested that Najib's pardon application would be the sole agenda item for the upcoming meeting.
