00:00Grateful, Alhamdulillah, today we have taken one step forward, read a post on former Prime
00:08Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's Facebook page after he successfully obtained leave
00:13from the Court of Appeal in his bid to serve the remainder of his sentence under house
00:18arrest.
00:19Earlier, in a 2-1 decision, the Court of Appeal overturned the High Court's dismissal of
00:24Najib's application for leave to initiate a judicial review regarding the prison time
00:29imposed on him in the SRC International Sendirian Berhad trial.
00:35Justice Mohammad Firuz Jafril, delivering the majority decision, stated that the issue
00:40of hearsay was no longer relevant due to new evidence presented in an affidavit filed by
00:45Najib's son, Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar.
00:49The judge clarified that a judicial review application only required the applicant to
00:54demonstrate a legitimate case to argue, showing that their rights or interests were aggrieved
00:59and that the application was not frivolous.
01:02The Court also allowed Najib to submit new evidence, including a letter from the Majlis
01:07Ke Sultanan Pahang.
01:08Meanwhile, UMNO is appealing to His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, for
01:14a full pardon for Najib following his success in the Court of Appeal.
01:18In a Facebook post, UMNO President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi expressed gratitude
01:24to the Sultan of Pahang and former young Dipertuan Agong Al Sultan Abdullah, Riayatuddin Al Mustafa
01:31Billah Shah, for confirming the existence of the royal addendum.
