“No more legal aspects, no more legal procedure, it is now in a court of compassion, at the King’s discretion. We cannot do anything...let the King decide or study it first if he wants...we are no longer involved,” she said after launching the Malaysia-Sulucase.gov.my website here today, which was also attended by Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir and Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
