PUTRAJAYA: The unity government trusts in the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s wisdom and the due process in Najib Razak’s application for a royal pardon, says transport minister Loke Siew Fook.
At a press conference here today, Loke also said Umno’s request for the King to consider granting the former prime minister a royal pardon was not the unity government’s stand but the party’s.
“Anyone who has been convicted is allowed to request for a royal pardon. That’s a normal and fair process,” he said.
Loke, who is also the DAP secretary-general, added that the Cabinet will not and cannot discuss Najib’s application.
Last week, Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki confirmed that the party had asked the King to consider granting Najib a royal pardon.
