Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution says the ministry only implements Pardons Board decisions, including house arrest, and cannot comment on eligibility calls.
LUMUT: The Home Ministry acts solely as the implementing agency for the Pardons Board’s decisions on a prisoner’s sentence, including house arrest.
Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the ministry was not in a position to comment further on calls from various quarters regarding eligibility for house arrest, as pardon petitions fall outside its jurisdiction.
“So whether a pardon petition is discussed, considered and decided or not, that is not within the Home Ministry’s scope of responsibility.
