  "account": "Umno and PAS youth wings will file police reports nationwide against Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar in response to a proposal to delay Najib Razak's house arrest, pending a review of the conditional pardon and a recent High Court ruling. Dr Akmal Saleh, Umno Youth chief, explained that his decision was motivated by concerns that Dusuki may have abused his powers. The two opposition parties plan to mobilize members across the country to lodge police reports against the AG over the matter. The Attorney-General's Chambers had previously stated that any action challenging the conditional pardon order would be seen as defiance of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's authority. Akmal also questioned the Attorney-General's timeline for seeking legal clarification on the house arrest order, which was issued on September 18. He argued that Najib Razak, despite committing an offense and serving his RM50 million fine, should be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest due to the royal pardon. Umno has previously announced the settlement of the fine imposed on Najib after a donation drive. The High Court subsequently issued an Order for Discharge following the payment. However, the AG's Chambers argued that the house arrest order should be deferred temporarily to allow for the examination of legal questions related to the pardon and its implications.",
