00:00Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has suggested that His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim,
00:08King of Malaysia, consider house arrest for Datuk Seri Najib Razak only after the conclusion
00:14of the One Malaysia Development Berhad trial.
00:17Anwar stressed, however, that he would not undermine the King's authority and only offer
00:22his advice if requested.
00:24The Prime Minister said during an interview with Bloomberg at the Qatar Economic Forum
00:282024 in Doha on Tuesday.
00:31Pointing to the previous King's decision to reduce the former Prime Minister's sentence
00:36partially, Anwar said it was essential to follow proper due process.
00:41He also urged the King to treat Najib's house arrest application just like any ordinary
00:47citizen.
00:48Najib had filed an application at the Kuala Lumpur High Court seeking permission for judicial
00:54review of the royal addendum that Najib claims was granted along with his royal pardon, which
01:00would allow him to go under house arrest.
