Description
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has defended the attorney-general's decision to pause a Nov 6 "Order of Discharge" issued by the Kuala Lumpur High Court for Najib's house arrest.
Responding to Takiyuddin Hassan (PN-Kota Bharu), he said the Prisons Department had to seek legal advice from the Attorney-General's Chambers as there was confusion surrounding the wording in the court order.
The confusion, Saifuddin said, stemmed from the term “discharge”, which, to the department, could mean releasing Najib from prison altogether.
