Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says he was the first person to bring the proposal for Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest to the Pardons Board.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has rejected claims that the government concealed a so-called ‘royal addendum’ purportedly allowing former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.

Public anger, accusations of treason hit Anwar’s administration over handling of Najib’s potential release into house arrest.

She said the sixth Prime Minister was convicted in not only one or two courts, but across all three levels of the judiciary: the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court.
