Najib's House Arrest: Govt Urged to Reveal Truth on Royal Decree
The Malaysian government is under pressure to disclose whether a royal decree exists, allowing former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve his jail term under house arrest. According to a senior lawyer, the government has a responsibility to clarify the situation and provide transparency on the matter. The call for transparency comes as Najib begins his sentence, sparking controversy over the possibility of special treatment. With many Malaysians demanding fairness and equality under the law, the government must address the issue and provide a clear answer on the existence of the decree. As the debate surrounding Najib's sentence continues, the government's response will be closely watched by the public and the media. The use of terms like 'house arrest' and 'royal decree' has also sparked interest in the concept of 'judicial transparency' and 'rule of law' in Malaysia. The government's clarification on the matter will be crucial in maintaining public trust and upholding the principles of justice and accountability.
