KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 — Fadhlina Sidek, the Education Minister and PKR Wanita chief, has stated that the conditional pardon granted to former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak is the responsibility of the King, not of Anwar Ibrahim or Pakatan Harapan. The pardon, announced by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, allows Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays a RM50 million fine.
Fadhlina emphasized the importance of respecting the decision while acknowledging the disappointment and anger felt by certain quarters. She reassured that the government has a duty to explain the decision to the public, but stressed that it does not indicate a change in PKR's stance on corruption and abuse of power.
