  "account": "DAP Party Secretary Ramkarpal Singh has defended the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) for submitting a request to review the Supreme Court's discharge order against former Prime Minister Najib Razak. PETALING JAYA: Singh, head of the DAP's legal wing, maintains that the AGC's action is justified, stressing that this does not challenge the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's prerogative in granting pardons. The legislator agrees that the term \"discharge\" (release) in the Supreme Court's order could refer to Najib's release from house arrest, not his transfer to house arrest. He explained that this is in contrast with conditional pardons, which clearly stipulate that the former premier will serve the remainder of his prison sentence for SRC International under house arrest if he pays a RM50 million fine. \"Therefore, clarification of the discharge order is needed to avoid any doubts that might arise regarding the authority of the conditional pardon order,\" he said in a statement. The AGC's move is also influenced by the fact that Najib must serve another sentence for the 1MDB case before the SRC sentence completion, which has not yet been delayed. Although Najib's home has been reported as a prison, Singh noted that it is unclear if this refers to any other sentence besides the SRC sentence, as the reporting was based solely on the SRC pardon. \"In other words, Najib's home is likely not intended to be a prison for any other sentence besides the SRC sentence,\" he said. \"In this case, I believe the AGC was justified in its submission, considering the urgency of the matter. It must be emphasized that the clarification or review is not intended to clarify the terms of the conditional pardon (which is already clear), but rather to correct any possible conflicts within the discharge order, related to the administration of justice.\" On 6 November, Umno announced that it had paid Najib's RM50 million fine, allowing him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest. However, the AGC has challenged the implementation, pending clarification of the conflicting terms in the Supreme Court's order. AG Attorney General Dusuki Mokhtar said there are glaring errors in the Supreme Court's order that should have been noticed upon detailed examination of the document.",
