KUALA LUMPUR: The Umno supreme council will be seeking an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to present an application to consider a royal pardon for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Umno secretary-general Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said this was unanimously agreed by party supreme council members at a meeting on Friday to request the King to consider pardoning Najib, as provided under Article 42 of the Constitution.
Asyraf said the Umno supreme council is aware that many party grassroots leaders were saddened by the Federal Court's decision to dismiss Najib's bid for leave to review his conviction and sentence in the RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd case. He also said the Umno supreme council received a memorandum by 191 divisions, including the Women's, Youth and Puteri wings, who are urging the Umno leadership to defend Najib, saying that the former premier had contributed much to the nation.
However, on March 31, the Federal Court delivered a 4-1 majority decision, dismissing Najib's bid for leave to review his conviction and sentence in the RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd case.
