00:01The AGC has filed an application at the Kuala Lumpur High Court
00:05to review the discharge order issued on November 6
00:09meant to move Datuk Seri Najib Razak to house arrest.
00:12In a statement on Tuesday, the AGC said it is seeking a fresh order
00:17that is consistent with the conditional pardon
00:20granted by the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong on September 18.
00:23Under the November 6 order, the former Prime Minister
00:27would be released from prison on payment of the RM50 million fine
00:31with the rest of his SRC international sentence
00:34served under house arrest until August 23, 2028.
00:38The pardon had reduced his 12-year SRC jail sentence to 6 years
00:43and his RM210 million fine to RM50 million.
00:48But implementation has run into complications.
00:51Najib is also serving a separate 15-year jail sentence
00:55in the 1MDB case.
00:57Last week, the AGC said house arrest had been temporarily deferred
01:02while it examines how to interpret the pardon order
01:05and what the High Court's discharge order means.
01:08During the deferment, Najib stays at his current place of detention.
01:13The AGC says it is not defying or challenging the royal pardon,
01:18only seeking clarification on the legal implications.
01:22According to the court's online system,
01:25the application is scheduled to be heard
01:26before Judge Dato Aslam Zainuddin at 2.30pm today.
