Umno information chief Azalina Othman Said says Najib Razak's royal pardon is subject to a 'court' of compassion at the king's discretion. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 12, 2023.
She said this is the power exercisable by the king as enshrined in Article 42 of the Federal Constitution. Azalina, who is also law and institutional reform minister, said this in response to lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla’s remark that Umno cannot file a royal pardon petition for Najib.
