AG seeks audience with King to clarify Najib’s house arrest issue, says Anwar

Shah Alam, November 7 — Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar has sought a meeting with Sultan Ibrahim to address former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest in his SRC International case, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim revealed today. Anwar reiterated that the Agong's authority to grant pardons remained unchallenged; however, a legal matter concerning Najib's 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case necessitated clarification by the courts.

"I have instructed the Attorney General to meet with the Agong promptly to 'beg forgiveness' and elucidate why that decision was sanctioned for the SRC case, yet there exists a complication involving the second case, which pertains to the 1MDB case," Anwar communicated to reporters following the National Family Month celebrations inauguration at the Selangor International Trade Centre (SITC) in Shah Alam.

Subsequent to this statement, Anwar emphasized that the Attorney General had already sought an audience with the King to clarify the house arrest issue.
