<p>前馬來西亞總理納吉布·拉扎克的孩子們一直渴望父親能離開監獄，與家人一起度過新年。但在本週，法院駁回了納吉布申請以居家監禁的方式回家的請求，令他們的希望破滅。\n 在週一裁決後不久，納吉布的長子莫哈末·尼扎爾·納吉布在網上發佈的一段五分鐘視頻中表示，家人已做好了兩種結果的準備，但他們默默相信，基於有爭議的皇室附錄的潛在緩解，漫長的鬥爭最終會給家庭帶來解脱。\n“當我見到父親時，我看到他早上很開心，並且收拾了一些個人物品，” 他説，因為家人準備好迎接他 “當天就能回家” 的可能性。\n 當吉隆坡高等法院裁定一份允許納吉布在居家監禁中服完餘刑的皇室特赦附錄無效時，這些期望瞬間崩潰，理由是該附錄未經過特赦委員會的審議。\n 這一裁決意味着 72 歲的納吉布將繼續留在卡江監獄，那裏他因挪用與 SRC 國際（一個曾與醜聞纏身的 1 馬發展公司，或稱 1MDB 有關的單位）相關的 4200 萬林吉特（約 1030 萬美元）而被判處減刑六年。\n\n 尼扎爾，47 歲，表示這一裁決對家庭來説是毀滅性的，不僅因為對他父親的影響，還因為他們認為這對馬來西亞的皇室特赦制度有更廣泛的影響。\n“文件是存在的。命令是存在的，” 他在視頻中説。“讓人們感到憤怒和失望的是，它的存在被隱藏並未得到承認，直到 [納吉布的] 律師被迫去法院確認。”\n 他補充説，法官認為附錄在未經過特赦委員會的情況下沒有法律效力，這引發了嚴重的憲法問題。\n 另一位兒子莫哈末·納茲菲丁·納吉布在社交媒體上表示，週一是 “對家庭來説極其悲傷的一天”。\n“我瞭解我的父親。‘Bossku’ 不會放棄。他會繼續戰鬥，” 納茲菲丁寫道，使用了納吉布的流行暱稱。“但作為兒子，我忍不住想問：這一切什麼時候才會結束？什麼時候才算足夠？”\n42 歲的納茲菲丁表示，這一裁決動搖了人們對君主制角色的長期假設，特別是在納吉布曾領導的巫統黨內，該黨歷史上一直將自己定位為皇室機構的捍衞者。\n“轉眼之間……任何皇室法令或文件似乎在未經政府程序的情況下都沒有價值。這對我們維持數十年的制度是一個非常深刻和嚴重的影響，” 他寫道。\n\n\n 附錄爭議加深\n 納吉布的女兒諾瑞亞娜·納吉瓦，36 歲，在週二晚上的一則社交媒體帖子中表示，司法審查是最後的手段，僅在幾個月向政府機構（包括總檢察署和總理辦公室）發出未回覆的信件後進行。\n 她表示，家人最初試圖安靜地解決此事，考慮到其政治敏感性，並且不想讓任何一方，包括政府，處於困難境地。\n 納吉布通過他的律師花了幾個月時間尋求對所謂皇室附錄的確認和認可，辯方稱該附錄是由前國王阿卜杜拉·阿赫邁德·沙赫頒佈的。然而，安瓦爾·易卜拉欣總理的政府否認了這一補充法令的存在，儘管前國王的宮殿和一名聯邦律師在今年早些時候表示該文件是存在的。\n 在週一的裁決中，高等法院法官艾麗斯·洛克·怡青表示，特赦委員會沒有討論或審議任何附錄命令，該事項未能滿足憲法要求。\n\n 解釋裁決的法律依據時，憲法律師薩利姆·巴希爾（前馬來西亞律師公會會長）表示，法院明確指出，國王在授予特赦時不能超越聯邦憲法。\n“這一裁決加強了君主受憲法約束的觀念，任何未經特赦委員會審議的異常法令或決定被視為不規則，沒有約束力，並且可能受到司法審查，” 他在《亞洲週刊》中表示。\n 納吉布的律師表示，他們將向上訴法院提出上訴，該法院是馬來西亞僅次於聯邦法院的第二高法院。\n 週五，高等法院計劃對納吉布涉及 230 億林吉特的 1MDB 審判作出裁決，該筆資金據稱被轉入他的銀行賬户。</p>

<p>納吉布·拉扎克的孩子們對馬來西亞法院駁回他申請居家監禁的決定表示失望。法院認為，允許居家監禁的皇家附錄無效，因為該附錄並未經過特赦委員會的審議。納吉布將繼續在監獄中服刑，因挪用與 1MDB 相關的資金而被判處六年監禁。該裁決引發了對馬來西亞皇家特赦制度的質疑。納吉布的家人計劃對該決定提出上訴</p>

<p>The children of ex-Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak have been yearning for their father to leave prison and the family to spend the New Year together. But their hopes were dashed this week after a court ruled against Najib’s application to return home under house arrest.\nIn a five-minute video posted online shortly after the decision on Monday, Najib’s eldest son, Mohd Nizar Najib, said the family had gone to court prepared for both outcomes, but had quietly believed the long fight – based on a potential reprieve through a disputed royal addendum – would finally bring relief to the family.\n“When I met my father, I saw that he was cheerful in the morning, and he had packed some of his belongings,” he said, as the family prepared for the possibility that he would be “allowed home that very day”.\nThose expectations collapsed when the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that a purported addendum to a royal clemency order allowing Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest was invalid because it had not been deliberated by the Pardons Board.\nThe decision means Najib, 72, will remain in Kajang Prison, where he is serving a reduced six-year sentence for misappropriating 42 million ringgit (US$10.3 million) linked to SRC International, a former unit of the scandal-tainted 1Malaysia Development Berhad, or 1MDB.\n\nNizar, 47, said the ruling was devastating for the family, not only because of the impact on his father, but because of what they saw as broader implications for Malaysia’s system of royal clemency.\n“The document exists. The order exists,” he said in the video. “What made people angry and disappointed was that its existence was hidden and not acknowledged, until [Najib’s] lawyers were forced to go to court to confirm it.”\nHe added that the judge’s finding that an addendum had no legal effect without it going through the Pardons Board raised serious constitutional questions.\nAnother son, Mohd Nazifuddin Najib, described Monday as “an extremely sad day” for the family in a separate social media post.\n“I know my father. ‘Bossku’ will not give up. He will continue to fight,” Nazifuddin wrote, using Najib’s popular nickname. “But as a son, I cannot help asking: when will all this end? When will it be considered enough?”\nNazifuddin, 42, said the ruling had shaken long-held assumptions about the role of the monarchy, particularly within Umno, the party Najib once led that has historically positioned itself as a defender of royal institutions.\n“In the blink of an eye…any royal decree or document appeared to carry no value without going through government processes. That is a very deep and serious implication for a system we have upheld for decades,” he wrote.\n\n\nAddendum dispute deepens\nNajib’s daughter, Nooryana Najwa, 36, said in a separate social media post on Tuesday night that the judicial review was a last resort, pursued only after months of unanswered letters to government agencies regarding the addendum, including the Attorney General’s Chambers and the Prime Minister’s Office.\nShe said the family had initially tried to resolve the matter quietly, mindful of its political sensitivity and wary of putting any party, including the government, in a difficult position.\nNajib, through his lawyers, had spent months seeking confirmation and recognition of the supposed royal addendum, which the defence said had been issued by the former king, Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s administration, however, has denied the existence of the supplementary decree, despite the former king’s palace and a federal lawyer earlier this year saying that the document existed.\nIn her ruling on Monday, High Court judge Alice Loke Yee Ching said the Pardons Board did not discuss or deliberate on any addendum order, and the matter had failed to meet constitutional requirements as such.\n\nExplaining the legal basis of the ruling, constitutional lawyer Salim Bashir, a former Malaysian Bar president, said the court made clear that the king could not act outside the Federal Constitution when granting clemency.\n“The decision bolstered the notion that the monarch is subject to the Constitution, and that any irregular decree or decision that was not deliberated by the Pardons Board is deemed irregular, has no binding effect and is susceptible to judicial scrutiny,” he told This Week in Asia.\nNajib’s lawyers have said they will appeal to the Court of Appeal, the country’s second highest court behind the Federal Court of Malaysia.\nOn Friday, the High Court is scheduled to deliver its verdict in Najib’s separate 1MDB trial involving 2.3 billion ringgit allegedly channelled into his bank accounts.\n</p>
