Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be part of the Pardons Board panel to decide on former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s request for a royal pardon.

Anwar also said that any individual can apply for a pardon in Malaysia and it will be subject to the law and the legal process.

This kind of mockery on the integrity of the Pardons Board, and the Istana. How do we as a nation with rule of law, deal with this? @McmcReact @fahmi_fadzil It is a gross slander on the highest offices of the country. pic.twitter.com/PyiRutFpEJ

It is obvious that UMNO may even blackmail PM Anwar if convicted criminal is not granted clemency. 😡

PASIR PUTEH: Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has accused Umno of engaging in political pressure over its decision to apply for a full royal pardon for Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

He said it was up to the Pardons Board to take into consideration and grant the application by Umno for the party’s former president.

He said there are certain procedures that need to be adhered to involving the process of granting a full pardon.

“To my knowledge, anyone can apply (to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to consider granting a full pardon). However, what Umno is doing is engaging in political pressure.

“It is up to the Pardons Board to decide whether to consider the application or otherwise,” he told reporters after attending the Kelantan PN leadership meeting here last night.
.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday confirmed that he would be involved in the process of evaluating the application by Umno to grant a full royal pardon to Najib.

Muhyiddin refused to comment when asked on Anwar’s involvement in the process.

“I cannot comment on that since the matter is based on the (Federal) Constitution and the country’s laws,” said the Pagoh member of parliament.
