Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said that whilst he respected everyone's views on the royal addendum issue involving Najib Abdul Razak, the matter is now subject to judicial proceedings.
"This additional document is a court matter now, no issue. Let the court handle it.
"Everyone is entitled to their opinion; we respect that, but (we) must follow due process," Bernama reported him as saying today after performing Friday prayers at Surau Ar-Rahim.
Earlier today, Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki requested the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to grant Najib house arrest in accordance with the addendum.
"It is hoped that by the grace of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, that Najib may be granted a reduction in his sentence, which has been delayed for over a year," Asyraf said on Facebook.
On Wednesday, senior federal counsel Shamsul Bolhassan reportedly stated that the Attorney General's Chambers did not dispute the addendum's existence but was challenging how it was submitted as new evidence in Najib's judicial review application at the High Court.
"Whatever the procedure may be, it must be followed when introducing new evidence," Shamsul said, as quoted by The New Straits Times. - Mkini
