PKR MP finds it odd judge ignored Anwar's pardon, warns of precedent


lawmaker Hassan Karim, who is also a lawyer, has weighed in on the High Court’s decision regarding Najib Abdul Razak’s house arrest bid, expressing surprise that the judge did not take into account Prime Minister Ibrahim’s 2018 pardon.
