GreenFalcon2290: There appears to be deliberate obfuscation over the decision to grant a pardon to jailed former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak. The grant is the sole prerogative of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, meaning no other authority has the power to grant it.

The decision is based on the advice of the Pardons Board. The Agong is understood to act on that advice. So why are we now being told that the decision and the grant are one and the same thing?

There should be no servants to serve “His High Eminence”, nor should there be a list of permitted food, silver cutlery, gold plates, or crystal glasses.

Oh, this is a task with no end. Will the driver be allowed to use his phone? Can friends chat through the gate railings? Are gifts of favourite food and chocolates allowed? Has renovation started to keep the convict separate from the rest of the household?
