Letter regarding royal addendum directly sent to AG, and then to the new Agong.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today acknowledged that the attorney-general did receive a letter regarding the royal addendum that ordered former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak to serve the rest of his prison sentence under house arrest.
However, he said that after the letter was received, the Agong changed, and the AG submitted the letter to Istana Negara to allow the newly appointed Agong, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, to make a decision.
“The decision (addendum) was sent to the AG…not to me…not to the Pardons Board.
“And when the new Agong was installed, it was sent to Istana Negara as the king chairs it (the Pardons Board).
“That’s the situation…we didn’t hide anything,” Anwar said during a speech at Program Muhibbah Madani today. – Malaysiakini
