Apa sebenarnya masalah DAP tentang isu tahanan rumah Najib, soal Kian Ming

Bekas Ahli Parlimen itu persoal sama ada DAP tak setuju dengan tindakan PM, keputusan Agong, atau tahanan rumah itu sendiri.

Apa sebenarnya masalah DAP tentang isu tahanan rumah Najib, soal Kian Ming

On 10 November, former Prime Minister Najib Razak was transferred from Kajang Prison to Langkawi Duta, Kuala Lumpur, to begin serving his house arrest until August 23, 2028. DAP ex-member Ong Kian Ming questioned what the core issue was regarding the home arrest of Najib, as Opposition Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim previously announced that he himself brought Najib to the Federal Moral Rehabilitation Institute, but later emphasized that the decision to grant the pardon was within the prerogative of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Ong clarified in an audio episode titled "Keluar Sekejap" that he was unsure if the DAP disagreed with Anwar bringing the case to the Rehabilitation Institute or with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's pardon decision, or with the house arrest itself. Prior to this, Ong had proposed that the DAP urge Anwar to dismiss all Umno ministers from the cabinet, rather than allowing DAP Secretary-General Loke Siew Fook to remove them from the government.

Ong believed this stance was more assertive, showing that Anwar did not agree with Umno's demand for a pardon for Najib.

On 10 November, Najib was moved from Kajang Prison to Langkawi Duta to begin his house arrest. He will serve the remaining six-year prison sentence for the SRC International case until August 23, 2028. Loke subsequently resigned as Transport Minister, fulfilling his promise after the Central Executive Committee meeting in September, following the conditional pardon granted to Najib.

DAP Youth Secretary Ainie Haziqah added that the DAP's stance might be a new angle they wish to present to the public, showcasing a perspective they need to demonstrate to the people about what they are fighting for.
