KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6: The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) has called for the implementation of house arrest for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to be temporarily deferred pending further legal scrutiny and clarification of the Conditional Pardon Order and the implications of a subsequent Order of Discharge.
In a statement today, the AGC said Najib should remain at his current place of detention throughout the deferment period, subject to the powers and directions of the relevant authorities.
“This temporary deferment is not intended to dispute or set aside the decree of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Rather, it is a measure to ensure that the decree and related court orders are implemented accurately, in an orderly manner and in accordance with the true legal position,” the statement said.
