Reveal all of Najib’s house arrest terms, urges Bersatu
Bersatu secretary-general Azmin Ali says the government should also reveal whether other inmates could apply for the same 'privilege'.
Bersatu secretary-general Azmin Ali has called on the government to disclose all the terms of Najib Razak's house arrest following his conditional pardon in the SRC International case. Ali emphasized the need to address public concerns and prevent any unrest that could undermine the judiciary and public trust in the legal system.
In his statement, Ali urged the government to outline the legal framework, procedures, and criteria for house arrests, as well as whether other inmates could apply for the same privilege. He reiterated Bersatu's stance that those convicted of corruption should face equal punishment under the law and the Federal Constitution, while acknowledging the role of the king's pardon power under Article 42.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister’s Department confirmed that the King decided to allow Najib to complete his six-year prison term under house arrest, provided he pays the RM50 million fine, extending his confinement until August 23, 2028.
