IGP: Respect legal channels for pardons, avoid unlawful gatherings

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 3 — The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have affirmed their respect for and adherence to the statement issued by His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong regarding the prerogative powers vested in the King as outlined in Articles 42(1) and (2) of the Federal Constitution.

In a statement this evening, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said those seeking pardons must submit their applications to the Pardons Board, in accordance with the law, rather than through public assemblies or other unlawful means.

“To honour His Majesty’s directive and ensure public safety and order, the PDRM urges the public not to participate in any gatherings organised by any parties,” the statement read.

The police also called on all citizens to uphold the principles of the Rukun Negara, particularly the rule of law and civility, which are essential to the nation’s prosperity and harmony.
