Benarkan titah dilaksanakan, peguam Najib gesa AGC tunai komitmen

Peguam Najib Razak, Shafee & Co, urged the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to comply with a directive from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong today, releasing a statement. The firm clarified that AGC has not yet announced the withdrawal of the temporary suspension. Despite this, their client, Najib, remains in Kajang Prison, and the Agong's directive appears yet to be implemented.

The Istana Negara emphasized that any challenge to a conditional pardon enabling Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest is clear, explicit, and devoid of ambiguity, and unrelated to any other matters against Najib. They stated that all conditions of the conditional pardon have been met and no misinterpretation or prolonged uncertainty should arise regarding its enforcement.

Meanwhile, Najib's lawyer called for AGC to withdraw the temporary suspension outright and demanded that the Chief Registrar of Prisons relocate Najib to Langkawi Raja Duta's residence immediately, as directed by the Agong. The directive must be carried out today, according to the lawyer. On Sunday, Umno cleared a RM50 million fine imposed on Najib after raising funds through a donation campaign.

The High Court Kuala Lumpur then issued a release order following payment confirmation, but AGC released a statement about house arrest proceedings being delayed temporarily to investigate a legal issue concerning the conditional pardon and its impact on the court order. Lawyer Najib stated that AGC does not have the authority to delay the Royal Pardon prerogative, and any concerns about the court order must be brought to court.
