ISTANBUL: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said there should be no "delaying tactics" to stall the implementation of Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest following the payment of the RM50 million fine.

He said Umno stood by the decision of the Pardons Board, which was chaired by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, adding that it was the King's absolute authority under the Federal Constitution.

Zahid said the matter must be complied with by all parties, including the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC).

"Although some parties have questioned the crowdfunding that Umno worked on for a certain period, it was a joint effort on our part.
