‘Negligence’: Johor Umno Youth wants Attorney General out over handling of Najib pardon

On November 8, Johor Umno Youth criticized the Attorney General (AG) over the handling of the Najib Razak pardon. Noor Azleen Ambros, the Johor wing chief, demanded that the AG step down immediately due to negligence in implementing the decision. The AG's failure to clearly communicate the pardon's conditions, resulting in separate statements from Istana Negara and the Prime Minister's Office, was deemed careless.
A police report has been filed against the AG, though details are unverified. If the AG leaves, it would allow for a transparent and honest investigation, according to Noor Azleen. In September, Najib Razak received a conditional royal pardon, serving the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028. Umno settled the fine, but Najib remains in Kajang Prison after the Attorney General's Chambers asked to defer his transfer pending legal clarifications, including the impact of the pardon on his 1MDB sentence.
Istana Negara stated that the pardon order was clear and fulfilled all conditions, while the AG denied defying the King and sought further legal clarity.
