Saifuddin to suggest declassifying Pardons Board meeting minutes to Cabinet

Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail expressed his intention to propose the declassification of Federal Territories Pardons Board meeting minutes, involving former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, during tomorrow's Cabinet meeting. Earlier, Saifuddin addressed queries regarding Najib's house arrest conditions, which began after a High Court order enabling his transfer from Kajang Prison to his Jalan Langgak Duta residence.

Muar questioned the government's plan to make the Pardons Board meeting minutes public, expressing concern over perceived unfairness to the administration bearing the moral burden. Saifuddin acknowledged the matter's jurisdiction with the Attorney General but expressed no objections. He affirmed the proposal would be presented as a recommendation from Parliament at tomorrow's Cabinet meeting.

Najib is currently serving his house arrest until August 2028, accounting for approximately two years of his reduced six-year jail sentence for convictions in the SRC International case and the 1MDB case, for which he was convicted on multiple counts of corruption and money laundering. Najib's legal team has indicated their intention to appeal.
