The Attorney-General of Malaysia, Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar, has acknowledged significant errors in the court order concerning Datuk Seri Najib Razak's proposed house arrest, as questions and scrutiny continue to mount. Dusuki stated that the defects in the Kuala Lumpur High Court's Order of Discharge should not have occurred if those responsible had exercised greater care in preparing and checking the document.
The mistakes, particularly in legal terminology and references to statutory provisions, have created unnecessary complications. Meanwhile, lawyer and activist Liyana Marzuki has raised concerns over inconsistent names, questionable legal references, and conflicting provisions in the court document. She specifically questioned two provisions which, according to her reading, provided contradictory instructions on what would happen if Najib breached the conditions of house arrest.
The controversy has led to the Attorney-General's Chambers temporarily suspending the implementation of Najib's house arrest while seeking clarification on the interpretation of the Conditional Pardon Order granted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
