Pengampunan Najib: Anwar nafi buka jalan, tegas setiap banduan berhak rayu

Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim refuted allegations that he opened the path for Najib Razak's pardon during the Hi-Tea Reunion of Reformist Pioneers at SITC in Shah Alam today. Anwar stressed that every detainee has the right to request pardon, which the Mercy Bureau can evaluate considering the advice of the Prime Minister and Attorney General at the Federal Level, while the final decision rests with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

He clarified that every detainee has the right to submit their appeal for consideration by the Mercy Bureau, supervised by the Agong. Anwar's statement was made amidst a meeting of the 64th Session of the Mercy Bureau for Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya at Istana Negara, Malaysia.
