  "summary": "Several Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs have called for the Attorney General (AG) to be placed on temporary leave pending an independent investigation into the delay in implementing Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s house arrest. The lawmakers expressed concern over the four-day delay between Najib's payment of the RM50 million fine and the commencement of his house arrest, questioning the AGC's handling of the situation. The BN MPs stated that while the King's decree and court orders must be upheld, the delay raises serious questions about accountability and the use of justice for political purposes. They also questioned the AG's role as a member of the Pardons Board during its September 18 meeting, suggesting that potential legal or administrative issues should have been addressed before the fine was paid.",
