The High Court will hear his striking-out application on Aug 14. FMTNews AnwarIbrahim PardonsBoard
KUALA LUMPUR: Anwar Ibrahim today challenged the legal standing of lawyer Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz to obtain a declaration that the clemency given to him two years ago was not in accordance with the law.In outlining Anwar’s broad grounds to strike out the suit, she said he had also stated in his striking out application filed on May 13 that the court had no jurisdiction to hear it.
He said he was of the view that the composition of the board was not in line with Article 42 to advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to pardon Anwar.Khairul said then-prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced two days after Pakatan Harapan was voted into federal power that the king had granted Anwar a full pardon.
He added that the board had not existed on May 16 to advise the king to pardon Anwar, who is now the Port Dickson MP. The Federal Court in early 2015 affirmed Anwar’s five-year jail term for a charge of sodomising his aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
