Umno division chiefs urge enforcement of royal addendum for Najib's house arrest
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 145 Umno division chiefs nationwide, including those from Sabah, have called for the enforcement of a royal addendum decree to allow former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
They said the decree had already been consented to by the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong and said that there was no longer any excuse to delay its implementation.
Wangsa Maju Umno division chief Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Shafei Abdullah said all 145 division leaders are also demanding the Attorney-General withdraw the Federal Court appeal against the Court of Appeal's ruling on Jan 6.
"As the government's top legal adviser, the Attorney-General should uphold the King's decree and support justice, not obstruct it.
"In addition, all Umno divisions that have yet to convene are urged to table a special motion on the Titah Addendum during their respective division meetings," he said.
