围绕马来西亚前总理纳吉布居家服刑的争议日益加剧，将总检察长的权力推到了聚光灯下，并引发了可能发生宪法冲突的隐忧——尽管法律专家表示，这还算不上是一场全面爆发的危机。
A growing dispute over former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak’s house arrest has thrust the attorney general’s powers into the spotlight, raising the spectre of a constitutional clash – though legal experts say it falls short of a full-blown crisis.
现年73岁的纳吉布原定于周五从加影监狱转移至吉隆坡的家中，此前他的政党巫统支付了5000万林吉特（合1230万美元）的罚款，满足了9月发布的王室特赦令中的一项条件。根据该特赦令，他获准在家中服完剩余的腐败刑期，直至2028年8月刑满。
Najib, 73, was due to move from Kajang Prison to his Kuala Lumpur home on Friday after his political party, Umno, paid a 50 million ringgit (US$12.3 million) fine, fulfilling a condition of a royal pardon issued in September allowing him to serve the remainder of his corruption sentence at home until its conclusion in August 2028.
但总检察署介入此事，理由是对一项指示将其释放进行居家服刑的高等法院命令存在矛盾的解读，并且这会影响纳吉布因滥权和洗钱而面临的另一项为期15年的刑期。
But the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) intervened, citing conflicting interpretations of a High Court order directing his release into house arrest and the implications for Najib’s separate 15-year sentence for abuse of power and money laundering.
马来西亚宪法君主苏丹易卜拉欣国王周六表示，特赦令“清晰、明确且毫不含糊”，并补充说，总检察长本人曾出席9月18日的特赦委员会会议，该委员会曾就该决定向国王提出建议。
King Sultan Ibrahim, Malaysia’s constitutional monarch, said on Saturday that the pardon was “clear, explicit and unambiguous”, adding that the attorney general himself had attended the Pardons Board meeting on September 18 that advised the king on the decision.
王宫在一份声明中表示：“既然有条件特赦令中规定的所有条件都已得到满足，任何质疑该命令的言论都无异于抗旨。对于已经获得王室御准的决定的执行，不应存在解读分歧的空间，也不应存在长时间的不确定性。”总检察署否认了其正在挑战王室特权的指控，坚决主张需要司法部门进行澄清，以防止出现冲突的判决或非法拘留。
“Since all conditions stipulated in the conditional pardon order have been fulfilled, any arguments disputing the order would amount to defying the decree,” the palace said in a statement. “There should be no room for differences in interpretation, nor should there be prolonged uncertainty over the implementation of a decision that has already received royal assent.”The AGC has rejected accusations that it is challenging the royal prerogative, insisting that clarification from the judiciary is needed to prevent conflicting sentences or unlawful detention.
纳吉布自2022年8月起入狱服刑，此前他因挪用丑闻缠身的国家投资基金一马发展公司前子公司SRC国际公司的4200万林吉特（合1034万美元）而被定罪。
Najib has been behind bars since August 2022 after being convicted of misappropriating 42 million ringgit (US$10.34 million) from SRC International, a former subsidiary of the scandal-hit 1MDB state investment fund.
这位前总理于2009年至2018年在任，他共同创立了1MDB作为主权财富基金，旨在吸引外资并资助经济发展。
The former prime minister, who was in office from 2009 to 2018, co-founded 1MDB as a sovereign wealth fund intended to attract foreign investment and finance economic development.
根据美国调查人员的说法，此后通过一项精心策划的国际洗钱计划，有超过45亿美元从该基金被挪用。
According to US investigators, more than US$4.5 billion was subsequently siphoned from the fund through an elaborate international money-laundering scheme.
总检察署表示，核心问题是支付罚款究竟只是允许纳吉布在家中服完SRC国际公司案剩下的刑期，还是实际上直接结束了刑期——这可能会触发2025年12月判处的另一项为期15年的监禁。
The AGC said the central issue was whether paying the fine merely allowed Najib to serve the rest of his SRC International sentence at home or effectively ended it – potentially triggering the separate 15-year prison term imposed in December 2025.
纳吉布正在对该定罪提出上诉，不过一家法院上个月驳回了他暂缓执行刑期的申请。
Najib is appealing against that conviction, although a court rejected his bid to stay the sentence last month.
周一，总检察长莫哈末杜苏基·莫赫塔尔（Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar）对当地媒体表示，纳吉布的高等法院释放令包含错误。
On Monday, Attorney General Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar told local media that Najib’s High Court release order contained errors.
马来语日报《每日新闻》（Berita Harian）援引他的话报道称：“如果相关各方工作严谨，本不该发生这种事。这些错误显而易见，并造成了不必要的麻烦。”前高级联邦法律顾问利亚纳·马祖基（Liyana Marzuki）也在一篇社交媒体帖子中批评了该命令的措辞，指出其中存在不一致的法律引用以及关于纳吉布违反软禁条件时将发生何事的冲突性条款。
“This should not have happened if the parties concerned had been thorough,” he was quoted as saying by Malay-language daily Berita Harian. “The errors are obvious and have caused unnecessary problems.”Liyana Marzuki, a former senior federal counsel, also criticised the order’s wording in a social media post, pointing to inconsistent legal references and conflicting provisions governing what would happen if Najib breached his house arrest conditions.
该释放令的部分摘录已在网上流传，其中混用了英语和马来语——包括一个写着“吉隆坡联邦直辖区高级法院”（In The Tinggi Court at Wilayah Persekutuan）的标题——并对纳吉布的名字及对他提出的指控有前后矛盾的表述。
The release order, excerpts of which have circulated online, features a mix of English and Malay – including a heading reading “In The Tinggi Court at Wilayah Persekutuan” – alongside inconsistent references to Najib’s name and the charges against him.
利亚纳还对一项条款提出了质疑，该条款似乎允许纳吉布即使违反了软禁条件也能留在其朗加杜达（Langkgak Duta）的住所，尽管另一项条款要求他返回监狱或由监狱当局确定的其他地点。
Liyana also questioned a provision that appeared to allow Najib to remain at his Langgak Duta residence even if he breached house arrest conditions, even though another clause required his return to prison or another location determined by prison authorities.
她在马来语贴文中写道：“国王陛下的旨意难道不是如果他违反软禁条件，纳吉布就必须返回监狱吗？”
“Wasn’t His Majesty’s decree that if he breaches the conditions of house arrest, Najib must return to prison?” she wrote in Malay.
马来西亚知名诉讼律师黄 K·K（Kitson Foong）驳斥了有关该争议构成宪政危机的说法，并为总检察署寻求法院澄清的决定进行了辩护。
Prominent Malaysian litigation lawyer Kitson Foong has rejected suggestions that the dispute constitutes a constitutional crisis, defending the AGC’s decision to seek clarification from the courts.
他告诉《亚洲周刊》（This Week in Asia）：“我预计不会发生宪政对抗。国王的谕令依然具有绝对权威，在各方都享有最高敬意。”黄表示，总检察长采取了“法律上审慎且绝对中立的方法”，并进一步将交回司法机构审理形容为“例行行使法律谨慎权”。
“I do not foresee a constitutional confrontation,” he told This Week in Asia. “His Majesty’s decree remains absolute and commands the utmost respect across the board.”The attorney general was taking a “legally prudent and strictly neutral approach”, Foong said, further describing the referral back to the judiciary as “a routine exercise of legal caution”.
然而，马来西亚律师公会（Malaysian Bar）法定专业机构前主席萨利姆·巴希尔（Salim Bashir）表示，尽管总检察长是政府和君主的法律顾问，但他在宪法上“不具备凌驾于法院命令之上的管辖权”。
However, Salim Bashir, a former president of statutory professional body the Malaysian Bar, said the attorney general was “not constitutionally clothed with jurisdictional power to override a court order”, despite being the legal adviser to the government and the monarchy.
他补充说：“因法院命令而产生的任何微小异常都可以归类为可修正的笔误规则（slip rule）”，他指的是允许法院修正轻微书面错误而无需推翻命令的法律原则。
“Any trivial anomaly that arose from a court order could be categorised as a slip rule which can be ratified,” he added, referring to the legal principle that allows courts to fix minor clerical errors without invalidating an order.
纳吉布的住所于周五根据马来西亚《监狱法》第3条被公告为监狱，尽管这项拟议中的转移目前仍被搁置。
Najib’s home was gazetted as a prison on Friday under Section 3 of Malaysia’s Prisons Act, even as the proposed transfer remains on hold.
马来西亚总理安瓦尔于周六表示，他已指示莫哈末·杜苏基（Mohd Dusuki）求见国王，以解释这些复杂情况。这些情况加剧了执政联盟内部的紧张关系，该联盟将纳吉布曾经占主导地位的马来民族统一机构（巫统）与其前政敌、改革派人士联合在了一起。
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Saturday he had instructed Mohd Dusuki to seek an audience with the king to explain the complications, which have deepened strains within a ruling coalition uniting Najib’s once-dominant United Malays National Organisation and its former reformist adversaries.
现在的问题是，巫统会走多远来为纳吉布争取。政治风险咨询公司 Viewfinder Global Affairs 常务董事阿迪卜·扎尔卡普利（Adib Zalkapli）表示，公众的看法是，居家服刑的实施“处理不当”，使政府容易受到无视君主的指责。
The question now is how far Umno would go to fight for NajibAdib Zalkapli, political risk consultant Adib Zalkapli, managing director of political risk consultancy Viewfinder Global Affairs, said the public perception was that the implementation of the house arrest had been “poorly handled”, leaving the government vulnerable to accusations of disregarding the monarch.
“自从团结政府成立以来，由于纳吉布的案件，政府会动荡是一个已知的风险，”他说。“现在的问题是，巫统会走多远来为纳吉布争取。”作为纳吉布所属政党的青年翼，巫统青年团已敦促支持者就延迟问题向警方报案。
“Since the formation of the unity government, it’s a known risk that the government would be destabilised due to Najib’s cases,” he said. “The question now is how far Umno would go to fight for Najib.”Umno Youth, the youth wing of Najib’s party, has urged supporters to lodge police reports over the delay.
与此同时，民主行动党领袖陆兆福重申了他关于纳吉布一回家就辞去交通部长职务的承诺。
Democratic Action Party leader Anthony Loke, meanwhile, has reiterated his pledge to resign as transport minister the moment Najib returns home.
陆兆福周五对记者表示：“我的立场没有改变，”他坚称，一旦这位前总理开始软禁，他的辞职将立即生效。
“My position has not changed,” Loke told reporters on Friday, insisting that his resignation would take effect immediately once the former prime minister entered into house arrest.
