Pardons Board did not exonerate Najib, but a thumbs up to the independence of courts, says PKR MP


PETALING JAYA: The Pardons Board’s decision not to pardon former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is a clear signal to the courts to uphold justice without fear or fervour, said Pakatan Harapan MP Hassan Karim of PKR.

He also said the decision to halve Najib’s prison sentence from 12 years to six years and reduce his fine from RM210mil to RM50mil did not exonerate Najib in any way of his conviction.
