Royal addendum on Najib's house arrest never decided at Pardons Board meeting, not 'legally enforceable', High Court hears


KUALA LUMPUR: The royal addendum order that would have allowed Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve his prison time under house arrest was never decided at the 61st Pardons Board meeting, the same meeting that granted the former prime minister a discount on his sentence in the RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd, the High Court heard on Monday (Nov 24).

Senior Federal Counsel Shamsul Bolhassan, who appeared for the respondent, said the imposition of house arrest, as reflected in the addendum order, was not deliberated in the said meeting that took place on Jan 29 last year.
