IN THE light of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s prison sentence reduction, former Health Minister, radio presenter and podcaster Khairy Jamaluddin, 48, has said that the Pardons Board should explain why the former’s prison sentence was reduced.
PETALING JAYA: The Federal Territories Pardons Board’s decision to reduce former prime minister Najib Razak’s prison sentence and fine will not weaken the resolve of the government to combat corruption, a PKR MP said.
Former prime minister Najib Razak could be released from prison as early as August 2026, after his sentence for his role in the 1MDB corruption scandal was halved. Whatever the reasons for the decision, the political implications are vast, says ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute’s James Chai.
PETALING JAYA: We appreciate the reduction of sentences, but Datuk Seri Najib Razak should be fully pardoned and released, says Nooryana Najwa Najib.
