Zahid harap Najib Razak diberi pengampunan

DATUK Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi berharap Datuk Seri Najib Razak akan diberikan pengampunan sambil menegaskan beliau tidak sanggup melihat bekas Perdana Menteri itu yang sudah dipenjarakan tiga tahun terus berada di sebalik tirai besi.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri yang menyifatkan Najib sebagai sahabat baiknya berharap pengampunan berkenaan dapat diberikan dalam masa terdekat.

“Kita harus mengakui hakikat bahawa Najib telah berada dalam penjara selama tiga tahun yang saya dan kita semua tidak sanggup melihat beliau terus meringkuk dalam penjara,” katanya.

Ahmad Zahid yang juga Pengerusi Barisan Nasional (BN) berkata demikian ketika berucap merasmikan Perhimpunan Agung Tahunan Parti Makkal Sakti Malaysia (MMSP) ke-17, di Butterworth, hari ini.

Bagaimanapun, tegasnya, keputusan berhubung pengampunan terletak sepenuhnya di bawah kuasa Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan tidak seharusnya dipersoalkan.

“Benar, kita berdoa, benar kita mengharap, tetapi jangan desak, jangan tekan Tuanku. Baginda tahu bila mahu membuat keputusan dan tahu apa yang akan baginda lakukan,” katanya.

Zahid hopes Najib Razak gets full pardon

DEPUTY Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says he hopes former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak will be given a Royal Pardon.

The Umno president said Najib had already served three years in prison and deserves to be considered for a full pardon.

However, Ahmad Zahid urged patience and to allow the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who chairs the Federal Territories Pardons Board, to make the decision.

“When the Pardons Board is called to decide on Najib, we are confident that the King, as a fair and compassionate ruler, will give proper consideration,’ he said, adding that the sentence was not just for punishment but also corrective.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also Barisan Nasional chairman, said this during the Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party annual general assembly in The Light Hotel on Sunday (Dec 21) in Butterworth, today.

Describing himself as a “true friend” of Najib, said he would continue to advocate for the former prime minister.

“I sincerely hope and pray that Datuk Seri Najib will be granted a pardon in the near future,” he said.
