The Malaysian Bar filed a fresh judicial review application on the same day former prime minister Najib Razak began his house arrest.PETALING JAYA: An Umno vice-president is urging the Malaysian Bar not to challenge former prime minister Najib Razak’s house arrest, saying it can lead to polemics.
In a statement, Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said those who were incarcerated had the right to seek a pardon.
And in Najib’s case, he said, the former Pekan MP had gone through the necessary processes, which was reviewed by the relevant authorities, including the Federal Territories Pardons Board, chaired by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Therefore, Wan Rosdy said, the decision to allow Najib to be placed under house arrest should be respected.
