Call to enact minimum ‘waiting period’ for a pardon

PETALING JAYA: There must be a minimum “waiting period” before individuals can apply for a pardon, says the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) following objections to the Pardons Board’s decision on Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

“Introduce minimum criteria for eligibility to apply for pardons and a fair and transparent procedure for the processing of pardon applications,” C4 said in a statement yesterday.
