LETTER: THE reported royal pardon order concerning Datuk Seri Najib Razak raises questions about constitutional authority, legal interpretation and administrative accountability.
According to the account under discussion, an order dated Sept 18, permitted Najib to serve his remaining sentence under house detention until Aug 23, 2028, subject to payment of a RM50 million fine.
The order's authenticated wording and legal effect remain essential to assessing that account.
My concern centres on timing. If officials understood payment as a condition for house detention before the fine was settled, why did competing interpretations reportedly emerge only afterwards?
