PM Anwar says he discussed Najib’s pardon with King during Johor visit Posted on 10/12/2024 KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak’s pardon was among the issues that were discussed with His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, during his visit to Johor yesterday. Anwar revealed the matter during Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat this morning, where he was asked again about the supposed addendum of a decree from the previous Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, to let Najib serve his remaining jail sentence at home. “I have met the (previous) Agong several times and never was the addendum issue raised,” he said. “But because the matter has been repeatedly mentioned I have raised this for consideration with the current Agong so when the time is right it can be referred to the Pardon’s Board meeting that the current Agong would chair,” the prime minister added.
