PETALING JAYA: With no Federal Territories Minister appointed to the current Cabinet, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be part of the Pardons Board as the de facto minister, says senior lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla.
He cited Article 42(5) of the Constitution as stating that the Pardons Board consists of the Attorney General, the Chief Minister or Mentri Besar, or the Federal Territories Minister, and no more than three members appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
