00:00The letter was sent to the state officials, not to me, not to the villagers and state officials.
00:11Then when Agong replaced it, it was handed over to the state palace because Agong was in charge.
00:21That's the situation. Why are we hiding it?
00:26The royal addendum allowing Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest
00:33was sent back to Istana Negara after Yang Dipetuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim ascended the throne.
00:40This is what Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said today, adding that the addendum, issued on January 29th last year,
00:48was first sent to then-Attorney General Ahmad Teri Rudin Saleh.
00:53Anwar clarified that the letter was not sent to him or members of the federal territories' pardons board.
01:00Instead, he said the AG submitted the addendum to Istana Negara after the new king ascended the throne.
01:09Anwar said the AG did so because the Agong presides over meetings of the pardons board.
01:15On Monday, Najib obtained leave to begin judicial review proceedings to compel the government to place him under house arrest.
