KAJANG: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has sidestepped a question about the purported “supplementary order” which allows former prime minister Najib Razak to serve his sentence under house arrest.
Najib is seeking leave of the High Court to commence judicial review proceedings in a bid to compel the government to produce the “supplementary order”, which was purportedly issued by the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, during the Federal Territories Pardons Board’s meeting on Jan 29.“I don’t want to be involved in discussions about the addendum ,” Anwar told reporters when asked whether the “supplementary order” existed.
Each state has its own pardons board which is appointed by the respective sultan or governor. The only exception is the federal territories, where the members are appointed by the king.The FTPB is headed by the king and consists of five members – the attorney-general, the federal territories minister, and a maximum of three others appointed by the king.
He said his lawyers had not received a reply after writing to Anwar and other top government leaders to confirm whether the “supplementary order” existed.
