Umno, PAS youth wings to file police reports against AG

Umno and PAS youth wings plan to submit police reports across the nation against Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar. This follows a suggestion to delay former Prime Minister Najib Razak's house arrest until a review of the conditional pardon and the High Court's Order of Discharge. Dr Akmal Saleh, Umno Youth chief, stated that the move is necessary to investigate allegations of Dusuki abusing his powers. The two parties have mobilized their members to lodge police reports nationwide in response to this matter.

The move comes after Istana Negara warned that any action challenging the conditional pardon order granting Najib house arrest would be seen as defying the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's authority. Akmal questioned the Attorney-General's long delay in seeking legal clarification on the order, which was issued on September 18. He emphasized that Najib is entitled to serve his prison sentence under house arrest following the payment of a RM50 million fine, despite committing an offence.

Umno called for strong action against those who defy the conditional pardon order granted to Najib. The party also reminded that Malaysia cannot be governed by those who disregard the Federal Constitution's provisions, particularly the king's royal prerogative to grant pardons. Earlier, Umno announced that it had settled the RM50 million fine imposed on Najib Razak through a donation drive.

The Kuala Lumpur High Court subsequently issued an Order for Discharge after the payment was recorded. The Attorney-General's Chambers, however, stated that the implementation of the house arrest order should be temporarily deferred to allow them to examine legal questions related to the pardon order and its implications.
