DAP's legal bureau chairman Ramkarpal Singh said an application to revise the High Court Order of Discharge for Najib Razak ought to be made forthwith in light of the urgency of the matter.PETALING JAYA: DAP's legal bureau chairman Ramkarpal Singh has defended the Attorney-General's Chambers' position on the court order concerning Najib Razak’s house arrest, saying it does not amount to questioning the king's prerogative in granting pardons.
The Bukit Gelugor MP agreed that the word "discharge" in the High Court order could be construed as a "release" for Najib, rather than transferring him to house arrest.
Ramkarpal said this would therefore contradict the conditional pardon which explicitly states that the former prime minister would serve his remaining SRC International jail term under house arrest if he pays the RM50 million fine.
