BUKIT MERTAJAM, Jan 11- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has firmly stated the government did not conceal any additional document regarding Datuk Seri Najib Razak's pardon application.

He denied the allegations and felt it needed to be clarified following the many slanders raised regarding the matter.

"The additional document was sent to the Attorney General, and not to me or any member of the Pardons Board," he said.

“When there was a change of King, it was forwarded to Istana Negara, as it is the King who chairs the Pardons Board. That’s how it happened, not something that we concealed,” he said.

"Any decision is the absolute decision of the King in a meeting of the Pardon Board and not outside. So during the meeting, when I was there, it was not raised and during Dr Zaliha's time it was not raised either. That is the situation, we are not hiding it," he added.

He said this in his speech at the Muhibbah Madani programme organised by the Muhibbah Madani Foundation here today.
