For UMNO to support and propose that the Agong should give a pardon to their former President, a convicted crook of corruption, is to [attempt to] put our Agong in their ranks.
Never should it be done … to extend a pardon to a convicted crook, just because of race and religion.
The Agong is also the Agong of all Malaysians, Indians, Chinese, Malays, Sabahans and Sarawakians!
