  "account": "Najib Razak's former legal representative, Farhan Shafee, has accused the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) of changing its stance regarding the execution of a house arrest order for the former Prime Minister. The AGC's National Attorney, Dusuki Mokhtar, made a statement on Friday that revealed a shift in their position compared to their earlier statement, causing confusion. This raises the question of whether AGC is suggesting there are two possible interpretations or if the order itself is flawed. These are two distinct claims with different remedies. It is difficult for the author to provide a precise answer while AGC and the parties involved continue to alter their positions and interpretations. The house arrest order issued by the Malaysian Federal Court in Kuala Lumpur clearly states that a RM50 million fine has been paid and the remaining sentence for Najib must be served under house arrest, based on conditional pardon. There is nothing in the order that requires interpretation, as all parties need to understand the court's order in the criminal case, which is different from civil cases where the defense prepares the order. On Friday, Dusuki questioned the accuracy of the documents related to the execution of Najib's house arrest order, stating that there is a glaring error in the order concerning the sentence for the SRC International corruption case. This flaw is causing concerns among legal experts regarding the accuracy of terms and the legal purpose of the used terminology in the relevant documents. The Federal Court issued the house arrest order after RM50 million was imposed as a fine on the former Umno president, which was paid through the Solidarity Fund and enabled him to serve the remaining prison sentence under house arrest. However, AGC subsequently took action to delay the house arrest of Najib until they can investigate the conditional pardon and the house arrest order, as it involves complex legal issues and impacts the execution of royal pardon and court orders. The AGC explained that their request was not to challenge the conditional pardon given, but rather to gain clarification regarding the legal implications of the house arrest order. Consequently, Istana Negara (Palace) rebuked AGC, classifying any challenge to the conditional pardon for Najib as interfering with an order issued by the Agong (King). Istana Negara emphasized that the pardon order is clear and does not cause any confusion. The relevant house arrest order also has no connection to any other cases against Najib.",
