  "summary": "Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has cautioned against further delays in implementing former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest, stating that the implementation is based on a decision conclusively made by His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Zahid emphasized the need to respect legal institutions and the Attorney-General's Chambers, as their credibility must be protected to maintain public confidence. He welcomed the Attorney-General's move to seek an audience with the King over the issue, but stressed that His Majesty's prerogative as chairman of the Pardons Board should not be questioned.",
