SHAH ALAM - Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has instructed Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar to seek an audience with His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, immediately to clarify issues surrounding the implementation of the Conditional Pardon Order involving former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Prime Minister said the move was necessary to explain the legal constraints concerning the remainder of Najib’s prison sentence in the SRC International case, as well as the implications for another case involving him, namely the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case.

"I have asked the Attorney-General to seek an audience with His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong immediately, to respectfully explain why the decision was accepted in the SRC case, but there are complications because it also involves a second case, the 1MDB case,” Anwar said.

He was speaking to reporters after launching the 2026 National Family Month celebration in November at the Selangor International Trade Centre (SITC) here today.

Also present were the Prime Minister’s wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who is also Bandar Tun Razak MP, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri, her deputy Lim Hui Ying, and Selangor Women’s Development and Social Welfare Committee chairman, Anfaal Saari.
