00:00Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim has refused to comment on calls for the Federal Territories Pardons
00:06Board to release its meeting minutes concerning a purported royal decree allowing former Prime
00:11Minister Datuk Sri Najib Razak to serve his sentence under house arrest.
00:29That was all Anwar said when reporters asked him about the matter after delivering the
00:33keynote speech at the 73rd Annual Assembly of the Malaysian Youth Council on Friday.
00:39The calls to release the minutes gained momentum after a January 6th court ruling allowed Najib
00:45to challenge the government to disclose whether such a decree exists.
00:50Najib's legal team claims the alleged addendum was discussed during a Pardons Board meeting
00:55in January last year, where his 12-year prison sentence was reduced to six years and his
01:00210 million ringgit fine was slashed to 50 million ringgit.
01:05Najib is currently serving his prison sentence after being convicted in the SRC International
01:10Sendirian Berhad case, a subsidiary of One Malaysia Development Berhad, 1MDB.
01:16PKR leader Datuk Sri Shamsul Iskandar Madakin has urged the Pardons Board to release its
01:22minutes, stating that doing so would clarify whether the royal addendum, allegedly issued
01:27by the former young Dipertuan Agong al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, was indeed part
01:31of the deliberations.
