At a January meeting, Najb’s 12-year word had been reduced to six years in a limited royal reprimand, which angered the country but was eventually accepted as a prerogative of the then-king.
Najib, 70, then asserts that Sultan Abdullah also issued a “supplementary decree” that would allow him to serve the majority of his prison sentence while he is house-assisted.
If Najib is given a June 5 deadline to start the judicial review, Mr. Shafee said the government’s attorneys will have to respond regarding the existence of the memorandum order.
When questioned why the situation needed to be handled in halls, Mr. Shafee claimed it involved a report that the prince had signed.
“Because it ’s a question of Yang-di Pertuan Agong’s purchase. He gave it through an established network. The official channel is supposed to enforce his order, ( but ) the order is not enforced, ” he said.
“If the purchase is not enforced, the issue of whether that get exists or not becomes sympathetic, although we know it exists. ”
According to Mr. Shafee, this is also the reason he requested that the oath been sealed, claiming that the oath is intended to “tell the truth in court.”
“ But telling the truth does n’t mean it is not sensitive. It is extremely delicate, ” he added.
Najib claimed in his criminal review application from April 1 that he had been informed of the existence of this decree and that he had no idea why the government supposedly omitted it when he was granted a limited pardon on February 2.
Due to that, the six-member Pardons Board met on Jan 29 to decide on Najib’s forgive software, one moment before Sultan Abdullah ended his reign as Malaysia’s king and handed the king to Johor king Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.
Before the king’s five-year rule came to an end in January, senior government officials who spoke to CNA acknowledged that Sultan Abdullah had issued a secondary get imposing Najib’s house arrest.
The Attorney-General’s business, however, made the observation that the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s administration had objected because the Najib house arrest controversy remained unresolved at the Jan. 29 meeting.
