Sanusi’s challenge of my royal pardon insults Agong, says Anwar
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says any challenge to his royal pardon by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong five years ago is defamatory and actionable. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, June 9, 2023
The PKR president said based on article 42 of the Federal Constitution read with article 181, the Agong has the power to grant pardons, and that power is permanent and remains unaffected. Anwar said Sanusi’s application is irrelevant, frivolous, insulting to the powers of the Agong, and an abuse of the judicial process to force decisions not within courts’ powers.
Sanusi filed the bid based on documents he cited, which he said contained no evidence the pardon reversed Anwar’s conviction in whole or in part, or expunged the prime minister’s previous criminal convictions.
