00:00UMNO Youth Chief Dr. Akmal Saleh is not qualified to make remarks regarding the royal pardon

00:06given to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in 2018, says an analyst.

00:10A Aziz Azizam of University Technology Mara said it was also wrong of Akmal to do so while

00:15speaking up on the issue of a pardon and bid for house arrest for former Prime Minister

00:20Najib Razak.

00:22He said as a key UMNO leader, Akmal should exercise caution when addressing such matters

00:27as his remarks reflect the party's stance on cooperation.

00:30Aziz added that while differing opinions are common in any alliance, Akmal's remarks

00:35could have repercussions on the fragile relationship between Barisan Nasional and Pakistan Harapan.

00:40On December 28 last year, the Attorney General's chambers said that all proposals for prisoners

00:46in the federal territories to serve the remainder of their sentence under house arrest, including

00:51Najib, have to be submitted to the federal territories' pardons board.

00:55On the same day, Akmal questioned whether Anwar's 2018 pardon had been submitted to

01:00the FTPB.
