Peguam perlembagaan, Bastian Pius Vendargon berkata Lembaga Pengampunan tiada keperluan mendedahkan apa jua keputusan yang dicapainya kepada umum, ditengah-tengah spekulasi bekas perdana menteri, Najib Razak bakal diberikan pengampunan.
00:00 The FTPB's lawyer, Bastien Payas Bendargon, said, "The Forgiveness Institute does not need to reveal what the results of the decision are in general.
00:11 In the midst of speculation, former Prime Minister Najib Razak will be forgiven."
00:17 The FTPB's argument is not tied to any legislation, but it has a moral responsibility to do so.
00:25 In addition, it is important for the FTPB to provide a reasonable and transparent reason for its decision because it is a widely known and important case.
00:35 The Justice Secretary said, "Although there is no need for the law to publicly announce its decision, transparency and accountability are important in a democratic system.
00:47 It is also necessary to ensure that all FTPB decisions are released to the public and included with a brief explanation.
00:54 Meanwhile, another lawyer, Kitsen Fung, said, "The FTPB has the power not to disclose information to the public, especially if it involves privacy issues such as health issues of an individual."
