  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Hannah Yeoh, the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department for Federal Territories, and Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar, the Attorney-General, arrived at Istana Negara early this morning for the Federal Territories Pardons Board meeting. Yeoh's car entered the palace grounds at 7:48 am, followed by a vehicle believed to carry Mokhtar. Both are members of the board, chaired by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia. The meeting comes as reports suggest the board will reconvene today to discuss former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's pardon application. This application was postponed at the previous meeting on September 11, with consideration deferred to a later date. Article 42 of the Federal Constitution stipulates that the Pardons Board for Federal Territories, including Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya, consists of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and up to three other members appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. As of this morning, no official announcement has been made regarding the outcome of today's meeting.",
