Lawyer Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz says he has a legal standing to bring the action as he is an aggrieved person.
Khairul, in a statement, said he was of the view that the composition of the board was not in accordance with Article 42 to advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to pardon Anwar. Khairul said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced on May 11, 2018, two days after the Pakatan Harapan coalition was voted into federal power, that the king had granted a full pardon to Anwar.
Khairul said a board member, the then attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali, was on garden leave and the Federal Territories minister had yet to be appointed.Article 42 states the Federal Territories board membership should consist of the AG, the minister and at least three others to advise the King.
