In a statement, Sivarasa said that Ismail should check his facts and read relevant court judgement, otherwise it is irresponsible of him to present the issue falsely as if there were no court judgements on it.
This comes after the royal pardon granted to Anwar Ibrahim, however, the question of validation has already been raised in high court and has been dismissed. Sivarasa said that at the time when Agong granted Anwar pardon he had already served 90% of his jail term.
