[KiniNews] Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has called on ministers in the federal government to address the matter of ex-premier Najib Abdul Razak’s house arrest bid, citing the need for transparency and adherence to constitutional principles.

Zaid drew attention to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s recent remarks in Doha in which he suggested that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong only consider Najib’s house arrest bid after the conclusion of the latter’s ongoing 1MDB trial.

Zaid warned against covert manoeuvres, stressing the importance of honesty and adherence to constitutional provisions.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, police are investigating a controversial message mocking Islam which appeared on the receipt of a popular pizza chain in Penang.

According to Barat Daya district police chief Kamarul Rizal Jenal, the case has been classified under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act.
