The government and Umno are consistent in not interfering in court matters involving any individuals in the country, said caretaker prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
This includes issues related to the royal pardon of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, he said.
He said that a pardon for someone who has been convicted in court is totally up to the judicial review and Pardons Board.
“The pardon for Najib is not up to the government or Umno… it depends on the judicial review and the decision of the Pardons Board chaired by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters after opening the Angkasapuri Media City in Kuala Lumpur today.
Ismail Sabri, who is an Umno vice-president, said this in response to a political analyst’s viral tweet claiming Najib (above) would be given a full pardon if BN succeeds in forming a new government after the 15th general election (GE15).
