In dismissing Najib’s judicial review application, Loke said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong was a constitutional monarch, and that his powers and functions were exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Constitution.
“The exercise of the prerogative power of mercy is no exception.
“The addendum order was not deliberated or decided at the 61st Federal Territories Pardons Board meeting. There was no compliance with Article 42 of the constitution,” she said.
