With Royal decree confirmed, UMNO now demands Najib's house arrest
KELANTAN UMNO is urging the immediate implementation of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's remaining prison sentence under house arrest, saying this would demonstrate transparency and fairness in the legal process now that the existence of the Titah Adendum is no longer in doubt.
Kelantan UMNO chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub also called for all prosecution proceedings to be halted in line with the validity of the Titah Adendum.
'This will also help dispel the negative perceptions held by the public previously,' he said in a statement on Saturday.
The request follows the Attorney General's Chambers' (AGC) confirmation of the Titah Adendum's existence on Friday (July 11).
Meanwhile, UMNO vice-president Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said the decree's confirmation proved his earlier affidavit to the court was true and not hearsay.
Wan Rosdy further urged that court proceedings be halted and the decree implemented, emphasising that the AGC, courts, and government must uphold the separation of powers and respect the authority of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Malay Rulers.
He added that he and the people of Pahang pray Najib receives justice under the decree. — July 12, 2025
