Former premier Najib Abdul Razak’s lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah has insinuated that Sultan Abdullah wanted to grant Najib a full pardon.

In a press conference today, Shafee alleged that the ruler passed empty ballots to the “four” non-permanent members of the Pardons Board on whether a full pardon should be granted.

Shafee said he does not know what the results of the vote were, but that it led to Najib’s sentence being reduced instead of a full pardon.
