DAP wants minutes on Najib’s conditional pardon made public
DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook says the party conveyed its request to the prime minister, but any declassification depends on the attorney-general.
DAP has urged Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to make public the minutes of a meeting by the Federal Territories Pardons Board, regarding former Prime Minister Najib Razak's conditional pardon. The DAP secretary-general, Loke Siew Fook, disclosed this at a press conference. He expressed hope the declassification would depend on the attorney-general's decision.
Loke clarified that DAP was concerned Najib's conditional pardon, which permits his continued confinement to house arrest, raises questions, especially given Najib's prior involvement in corruption scandals. DAP affirmatively supports the government's CSA, or confidence and supply agreement, with six Bersatu MPs, while stressing that this does not signify support for Ismail Sabri Yaakob, the previous Prime Minister.
