[KiniNews] A group of NGOs urged the government to repeal a provision of the Federal Constitution which allows former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak to remain as an MP until his royal pardon process is completed.

In a joint statement, the group called for the immediate repeal of Article 48(4)(c) of the Federal Constitution, to prevent any unjustified further delay in an MP’s disqualification so affected constituencies can choose a new representative.

The statement was issued by human rights activist Charles Hector on behalf of four NGOs, including Aliran, Malaysians Against Death Penalty and Torture (Madpet), Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia (SABM), and Workers Hub for Change (WH4C).

He insisted there is no longer any reasonable justification to delay the disqualification of the criminal MP once the appeal processes were over, even though Najib has filed a petition seeking a royal pardon.
