Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi says a royal order allowing Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his reduced six-year sentence under house arrest exists.
Mr Zahid said he saw the copy on the phone of former Selangor Umno treasurer Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz. In response, Mr Zafrul, the current investment, trade and industry minister, said he was consulting his lawyers and considering filing an affidavit to correct purported factual errors in Mr Zahid’s affidavit.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, the unity government’s spokesman, said the Cabinet did not discuss Mr Zahid’s affidavit. Pardons are granted at the sole discretion of the king, with advice from a board of government officials and appointees.
