Explain house arrest conditions, Pejuang urges home minister
The Perikatan Nasional component party warns against only allowing house arrests for certain inmates merely to satisfy certain political elites.
Pejuang information chief Rafique Rashid Ali has called on the home minister, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, to clarify the conditions and mechanism behind granting house arrest for individuals like former prime minister Najib Razak. Najib's conditional pardon includes serving the remainder of his six-year sentence at home, provided he pays a RM50 million fine.
Ali stressed the importance of ensuring legal certainty in Najib's arrangement, as part of his pardon, emphasizing that there should be no double standards applied to the law. He noted that Article 8 of the Federal Constitution guarantees equal treatment and protection under the law for everyone.
