KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has launched a problem to the Court of Appeal’s new ruling regarding Najib Razak’s pay for home arrest.  ,
The previous prime minister’s decision to launch criminal review trials to provide the majority of his six-year word at home has been challenged by the government in a motion for permission to appeal to the Federal Court.  ,
The Attorney-General’s Chambers ( AGC ) confirmed in a statement on Wednesday ( Feb 5 ) that the application was submitted on Tuesday, according to local media reports.
According to the tanks, as reported by Free Malaysia Now, the AGC believes that this action is necessary to maintain justice in this case, as well as upholding the rule of law and clarifying the view for the benefit of all parties.
The Court of Appeal’s decision, which reflected the panel’s three-member panel’s varied views of the law, was made through a cut decision, according to the AGC.
Additionally, it stated that the peak court should respond to the case because it involved substantial legal issues of public interest.
Najib’s legitimate pay for home incarceration was granted on January 6th, and the Court of Appeal granted him permission to proceed.
Najib’s lawyer obtained a allegedly false letter from the Pahang state house that confirmed the existence of a royal edict allowing him to spend the rest of his jail term at home, signed by the original Malaysian king Al-Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah and Pahang Sultan.
The previous prime minister’s 12-year sentence for corruption was reduced to a pardon by Sultan Abdullah only before he resigned as monarch.
Justices Firuz Jaffril and Azhahari Kamal Ramli argued that the High Court’s earlier ruling in July that Najib’s documents were based on hearsay evidence was no longer be upheld in light of fresh information.
Najib praised the Court of Appeal’s choice to overturn his request to get the royal clause as “one step forth.”
The AGC even requested a gag order in January to prevent the consumer from discussing Najib’s criminal review claim that for a royal document existed.
Anwar Ibrahim, the current prime minister, has stated that the report was sent to the attorney-general and not to him or any other Pardons Board part.
Najib claimed in an application filed in April of last year that he had knowledge that a former King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah had issued an clause order allowing him to spend the rest of his time in home imprisonment.  ,
He claimed the addendum was issued during a pardons board meeting on Jan 29 last year, the same day his initial 12-year sentence was halved from 12 years to six years and his fine reduced from RM210 million ( US$ 44.5 million ) to RM50 million.
Najib was found guilty in 2020 of a criminal breach of trust and abuse of power for receiving funds that 1Malaysia Development Berhad ( 1MDB) had illegally swindled. He denies any crime and is currently facing fraud charges in several other 1MDB-linked cases.
