MIC, MCA thank Agong for Najib’s conditional pardon
MIC deputy president M Saravanan says being in prison for a few years is ‘more than enough’ for the former prime minister.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Democratic Action Party (DAP) is set to convene its central executive committee meeting tomorrow to deliberate on the party's stance and subsequent steps following the conditional pardon bestowed upon former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Loe Siew Fook, the party's secretary-general, affirmed that DAP has maintained a unwavering stance from the beginning, advocating for justice and accountability in relation to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal.
He reiterated the party's demand for a comprehensive investigation into the misconduct and for those implicated to be subjected to an impartial and equitable legal process. Hannah Yeoh, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) and a member of the Pardons Board, conveyed a position in line with DAP's principles while discharging her duties within the national interest.
Despite this, DAP respects the King's pardon powers as dictated by the Federal Constitution. The party has consistently upheld the principles of constitutional monarchy and the supremacy of the Constitution, while championing the rule of law and its ongoing battle against corruption, Loe declared in a statement.
