Jabatan Peguam Negara (AGC) files an application in the High Court seeking a review of an earlier release order issued on 6 November involving former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Multiple outlets report the application concerns his house arrest and the effect of the release order issued by the court.
Several stories link the move to questions about how the conditional pardon granted by Yang di-Pertuan Agong should be aligned with the release order. Free Malaysia Today and BH Berita Harian both cite comments from counsel figures indicating AGC is not trying to challenge the royal prerogative, but instead seeks judicial clarification on implementation.
BH also includes an additional perspective from Najib’s legal team, which alleges AGC does not heed the Agong’s instruction regarding the execution of the house arrest. Coverage across outlets largely agrees on the existence of the High Court application and the names of key parties, but differs in emphasis—some foreground the AGC’s rationale and need for clarity, while others highlight criticism from Najib’s lawyers.
