Controversy, Denials, and Questions of Transparency in Malaysia

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim denies concealing documents related to Najib Razak's home detention.

Najib Razak, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence for his role in the country's biggest financial scandal. He has been pursuing legal action to compel the government to confirm the existence of an "addendum order" that he claims was issued by the former king alongside his pardon. This order, according to Najib, would allow him to serve the remainder of his sentence under home detention.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has denied any knowledge of such a document and insists that the government is not concealing any information related to Najib's case.

Najib's legal team maintains that the document exists and has been ignored by the authorities. The former king's palace has also confirmed the existence of the document.

The controversy surrounding the addendum order has further complicated Najib's legal battle and raised questions about the transparency of the Malaysian government.
