馬來西亞國王警告勿挑戰其准許前總理納吉居家服刑的命令

吉隆坡，11月7日（路透社）——馬來西亞國王週六警告，任何試圖挑戰其准許前總理納吉・拉薩從監獄轉為居家服刑命令的作法，都可能等同違抗其諭令。就在前一天，當局延後了納吉的轉移安排。KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Malaysia's king warned on Saturday that any attempt to challenge his order letting former Prime Minister Najib Razak move from jail to house arrest could amount to defying his decree, a day after authorities delayed Najib's transfer.

納吉因一宗與國家基金一馬發展有限公司（1Malaysia Development Berhad，1MDB）數十億美元醜聞有關的案件，被判貪腐與洗錢罪名成立，自2022年起入獄服刑。他始終否認有不法行為。Najib has been in jail since 2022 after being found guilty of corruption and money laundering in a case linked to a multibillion-dollar scandal at state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). He has consistently denied wrongdoing.

在納吉所屬政黨繳納5,000萬令吉（1,200萬美元）罰款後，他原定於週五被轉移回家服刑，以履行國王蘇丹依布拉欣（Sultan Ibrahim）9月發布王室特赦的一項條件；該特赦將允許他在家服完剩餘兩年刑期。He was due to be transferred home on Friday, after his party paid a 50-million-ringgit ($12-million) fine to fulfil a condition of a royal pardon issued by King Sultan Ibrahim in September that would allow him to serve his remaining two years at home.

不過，總檢察長辦公室表示，針對王室特赦的法律解釋，以及週五發布、准許納吉離開監獄的法院命令，已出現疑問，因此暫停這項轉移安排。However, the attorney-general's office suspended the transfer after it said questions had arisen over the legal interpretation of the royal pardon and a court order issued on Friday allowing Najib to leave jail.

國王表示，特赦命令清楚明確PARDON ORDER WAS CLEAR, KING SAYS

蘇丹依布拉欣週六表示，他的特赦命令「清楚、明確，且沒有任何歧義」。他也表示，總檢察長與聯邦直轄區部長曾出席特赦委員會會議，而命令是在該會議後發布。Sultan Ibrahim said on Saturday his pardon order was "clear, explicit and without any ambiguity." He also said that the attorney-general and federal territories minister had attended the pardons board meeting after which the order was issued.

國家皇宮發布聲明引述國王表示：「因此，對其解釋不應有任何混淆，對於已獲批准決定的執行，也不應長時間處於不確定狀態。」"There should therefore be no confusion over its interpretation, nor should there be prolonged uncertainty over the implementation of the decision that has been granted," the king said in a statement issued by the national palace.

居家服刑命令僅適用於納吉的第一項定罪。The house arrest order applies only to Najib's first conviction.

他去年在另一宗與1MDB有關的案件中被判有罪後，另面臨15年徒刑，該刑期預定在其居家服刑結束後開始執行。納吉正在對該判決提出上訴。He faces an additional 15 years in prison after being found guilty last year in another 1MDB-linked case, with the sentence set to begin after his stint in house arrest ends. Najib is appealing the verdict.

馬來西亞總理安華・依布拉欣（Anwar Ibrahim）辦公室在聲明中表示，總檢察長週六請求覲見國王，以致歉並說明週五法院命令所引發的法律問題。The attorney-general sought on Saturday an audience with the king to apologise and explain the legal questions arising from Friday's court order, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's office said in a statement.

總檢察署稍早駁斥納吉律師所提出的行政權越權指控，表示總檢察署無意漠視國王的特赦，而是希望法院釐清該命令對納吉刑期的效力。The Attorney-General's Chambers had earlier rejected accusations by Najib's lawyers of executive overreach, saying it did not intend to disregard the king's pardon but wanted the court to clarify the order's effect on Najib's sentences.

馬來西亞國王一職由9名地方蘇丹輪流擔任，角色大致上屬禮儀性質，但依憲法賦予的酌處權，擁有准予特赦的權力。The king, a position held in rotation by Malaysia's nine regional sultans, plays a largely ceremonial role but has the authority to grant pardons, under discretionary powers granted by the constitution.

馬來西亞人對君主及該國其他蘇丹抱有深切敬意。對王室發表負面言論，可能依殖民時期制定的《煽動法令》遭到起訴。Malaysians hold the monarch and the country's other sultans in deep respect. Negative remarks about the royalty can be prosecuted under the colonial-era Sedition Act.
