  "account": "Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim has requested the Attorney General, Dusuki Mokhtar, to appear before the King in order to seek forgiveness and clarify issues surrounding the enforcement of house arrest for former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Anwar stressed that the government acknowledges the King's authority and is preparing to fulfill its responsibilities and the court's decision. He clarified that the issue of the King's power is not in dispute, stating to reporters at the Selangor International Trade Centre that the Attorney General has already requested forgiveness and will then explain the current issue. Today, the Attorney General's Chambers explained that delaying Najib's house arrest is not an attempt to contest the conditional pardon granted by the King. They noted that legal questions arise regarding the scope and impact of the release order, particularly whether the release is only related to paying fines or if it allows the remaining prison sentence for SRC International to continue through house arrest, or if the order itself carries implications for the completion of the SRC International prison sentence. The AGC stated that this is directly related to a High Court judgment in the 1MDB case, which stated that prison sentences in related cases must begin after the completion of prison sentences in SRC International cases. The High Court instructed Najib to serve his 15-year prison sentence for corruption and money laundering after the SRC International sentence is completed. Yesterday, Najib's lawyers told the AGC does not have the power to delay royal clemency, and any legal issues regarding the court order must be taken to court. Meanwhile, Shafee & Co lawyers urged the prison commissioner to expedite the release of their client to serve his house arrest without further delays.",
