KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — The High Court here was told today that the Pardon’s Board had given wrong advice to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in granting a full pardon to PKR President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who was then jailed for sodomising his former personal assistant.

Lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, representing lawyer Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz, said the composition of the Pardon Board was also not proper then, thus, the advice given by the Pardon Board to the Agong was not valid.

“In this issue, the one in the wrong is the Pardon’s Board and not the Agong. We are challenging the wrong advice given by the Pardon’s Board to the Agong under Article 42 of the Federal Constitution,” said Mohamed Haniff in his submission in objecting an application by Anwar and the board to strike out the suit by Mohd Khairul Azam.
According to Mohamed Haniff, pardons can only be given for the purpose of terminating or suspending a sentence rather than revoking the conviction that the court had decided.

“If a conviction is revoked, it means we play the role of the court because only the court can hear (testimony and evidence) and the court can also make decision,” he said.

Lawyer J.Leela, representing Anwar, submitted that the full pardon granted by the Agong could not be challenged in court and the plaintiff (Mohd Khairul Azam) also had no locus standi or legal position to continue with the suit.
“The plaintiff’s suit is trivial, an embarrassment and an abuse of court process,” she said, adding that under Article 42 of the Federal Constitution, the Agong could quash a court’s conviction.
Senior federal counsel Natra Idris said she also agreed with Leela on Article 42 of the Federal Constitution which allows the Agong to issue a pardon order for conviction.
Judge Datuk Akhtar Tahir then set Sept 21 for decision and ordered all parties to file their other arguments, if any, on or before August 21.
Mohd Khairul Azam, in a suit filed on Feb 26 this year, claimed that the pardon granted to Anwar by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, was in contravention of Articles 42 (4) and (5) of the Federal Constitution, in view of the fact that pardons granted by the Agong should be based on the advice of the Pardons Board which Mohd Khairul Azam argued had not yet been formed in its entirety following the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018, and the formation of the new government.
Mohd Khairul Azam is also claiming that following the election, several unconstitutional actions had been undertaken to ensure that Anwar received a pardon which released him from prison.

Yup he needs to go back to jail.

When he was released and named PM-next-in-line what did he do? He went around the country blabbering about politics instead of entering the Cabinet to get the ropes about running the country.

Backside fucker. Hope he never comes out again.

Muhammed Yusoff Rawther has accused Anwar Ibrahim’s aide Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak (right) of assaulting him last year.
PETALING JAYA: Muhammed Yusoff Rawther says he welcomes the lawsuit against him by the political secretary of PKR president Anwar Ibrahim but says it has been timed to distract from more pressing allegations.
Yusoff, who had himself filed a suit against Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak for assault, said he would defend all allegations against him by the PKR Perak chief.
Farhash’s suit filed last Friday is related to a press conference held by Yusoff on Dec 4 last year, in which Yusoff questioned police inaction over a police report claiming Farhash had physically assaulted him in May last year.
A defiant Yusoff, calling Farhash “a flunkey to Anwar Ibrahim”, said it was an attempt at diverting public attention, and added that he had yet to be served the suit.



“This is simply an attempt to distract the public and me from the core issue at hand,” said Yusoff, a former research assistant at Anwar’s Petaling Jaya office, who has also accused the politician of sexually assaulting him in October 2018.
However, the Attorney-General’s Chambers had earlier this month said there were insufficient grounds to charge Anwar.
Yusoff said a court case would allow “the truth to see the light of day”.
“I look forward to seeing the perpetrators of these false and bloviated claims in court,” he told FMT.

Last September, Yusoff, who is also the grandson of the late Penang prominent consumer advocate SM Mohamed Idris, filed a suit against Farhash, claiming the latter had repeatedly punched him without provocation at Anwar’s office in Bukit Gasing here in May last year.
“The violent attack was against the law and occurred at the workplace of the plaintiff,” he said in his statement of claim.
Yusoff has also filed a suit against Anwar’s press secretary Tunku Nashrul Tunku Abaidah over several media statements he made on the incident.
