JAKARTA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says investigations on Datuk Seri Najib Razak over the SRC International Sdn Bhd case will be conducted in a fair and independent manner. Anwar who received a pardon from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V on May 16, hoped any investigation on Najib would be done fairly and independently. Anwar, 71, was sentenced to five years in prison in February 2015 after the Federal Court upheld a conviction for sodomy. SRC International Sdn Bhd was a subsidiary of 1Malaysia Development Berhad until it was placed under the Ministry of Finance in 2012. On Jan 26, 2016, the media reported that then-Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali confirmed that no criminal offence was committed by Najib on cases involving RM2.6 billion and SRC International funds.
