BN secretary-general Zambry Abd Kadir said Istana Negara’s assertion that the conditional pardon order was clear, explicit and unambiguous, and that all its stipulated conditions have been fulfilled, should not be taken lightly. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional has urged the government to take Istana Negara’s statement seriously and ensure that the conditional pardon allowing Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest is implemented immediately.

BN secretary-general Zambry Abd Kadir said the deferment of the implementation of the former prime minister’s house arrest should not be viewed merely as an administrative matter or a difference in legal interpretation.
