00:00The meeting minutes of the Federal Territories Pardons Board concerning its deliberations

00:06on Najib Razak were declassified in January, says Law and Institutional Reform Minister

00:11Azalina Uthman Syed.

00:13In a written parliamentary reply to Kepung MP Lim Lip Eng, Azalina said this was based

00:19on feedback received from the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department.

00:25Last year, Najib initiated court proceedings over an alleged addendum allowing him to serve

00:29the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest.

00:32The appeal was later heard on January 6, when the Court of Appeal granted Najib leave to

00:37begin a judicial review.

00:40In January, Federal Territories Minister Dr. Zaliha Mustafa had dismissed calls for the

00:45FTPB to make public its deliberations on Najib's pardon application.

00:50Zaliha, a member of FTPB, said the board's meeting minutes were confidential and accessible

00:56only to its members.

00:58On February 2 last year, the Pardons Board announced that Najib's prison sentence had

01:02been halved from 12 years to six, and his fine reduced from RM210 million to RM50 million.
