The cabinet did not discuss a proposal to declassify the Pardons Board meeting minutes on former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's clemency, which allowed him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest, said government spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil.

This comes a day after Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail told the Dewan Rakyat that he would propose the matter at today's weekly cabinet meeting.

Saifuddin argued that the move would provide greater clarity and a more accurate understanding of the board's decision-making process.

However, Fahmi clarified that the matter was not directly discussed, although the process was understood to be underway, subject to several legal considerations.
