Zahid: There should be no "delaying tactics" in implementing Najib's house arrest
ISTANBUL: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said there should be no “delaying tactics” to stall the implementation of Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s house arrest following the payment of the RM50 million fine.
Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has urged there be no delay in enforcing Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest following the payment of the RM50 million fine. The Umno leader emphasized that the decision was made under the King's absolute authority as per the Federal Constitution. Zahid reiterated that the matter must be adhered to by all parties, including the Attorney-General's Chambers.
Despite some questioning the crowdfunding efforts by Umno, he highlighted it as a collective endeavor. Once the fine is settled, there should be no hasty actions to postpone the Pardons Board's decision, which Zahid believes is unequivocal and must be honored, including by the Attorney-General's Chambers. The Umno chief stressed that they don't intend to challenge any department's authority but trust in the implementation of the house arrest order.
