  "account": "Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim has requested the Attorney-General, Dusuki Mokhtar, to appear before the Agong, Sultan Ibrahim. The matter concerns the execution of a conditional suspension of Najib Razak's house arrest, which has raised legal questions. Anwar emphasized that the government acknowledges the Agong's powers and is prepared to fulfill its duties and responsibilities. The Attorney-General has already requested to appear before the Agong to apologize and explain the issues surrounding the suspension. The AGC clarified that the request to postpone Najib's house arrest is not an attempt to challenge the conditional pardon granted by the Agong. The legal issue lies in determining the scope and consequences of the release order, particularly whether it only relates to the payment of fines or allows the remaining prison sentence of SRC International to proceed through house arrest. The AGC stated that this directly relates to the High Court's judgment in the 1MDB case, which stipulates that the prison sentence must begin after the SRC International sentence is completed. The High Court ordered Najib to serve a 15-year prison sentence after the SRC International sentence was finished. Yesterday, Najib's lawyers argued that the AGC does not have the authority to postpone the prerogative of mercy and that any issues related to the High Court order must be taken to court. Shafee & Co, a Malaysian firm, urged the prison commissioner to ensure their son's release to serve the house arrest sentence without further delay.",
