Unity Government Relations

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says unity government parties maintain strong relations despite Najib's conditional pardon.

“The relationship remains good and, although we are politicians, when it comes to managing government affairs, we act professionally, and there is no problem because all decisions by the Cabinet are made collectively.”

Conditional Pardon Details

King granted Najib conditional pardon allowing house arrest until August 23, 2028, subject to RM50 million fine payment.

Cabinet Decision Process

All Cabinet decisions are made collectively within legal bounds of the Federal Constitution, according to Zahid.

“Ahmad Zahid emphasized that all Cabinet decisions are made collectively and professionally within the legal bounds of the Federal Constitution.”

Constitutional Compliance

Zahid states that challenging the King's decision would contradict constitutional provisions, as Umno and BN support legal compliance.

“What was decided by the Pardons Board, and received the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, is a decision bound by several clauses in the Malaysian Constitution.”

Pardons Board Decision

Pardons Board's 64th meeting for Federal Territories decided on Najib's conditional pardon with King's consent.

“The Legal Affairs Division (BHEUU) of the Prime Minister’s Department said the order was decided at the 64th Meeting of the Pardons Board for the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya held at Istana Negara.”

Unity Government Commitment

Zahid reaffirms unity government will uphold constitutional discipline until their term ends.

“As members of the unity government, we will continue to uphold the principles of discipline as long as we are in the unity government.”
