Govt must fully explain pardon decision, say groups

PETALING JAYA: The Pardons Board’s decision to reduce Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s sentence has led to queries from civil society groups as to why it was reduced while other criminals had to serve their sentences in full.

Najib should be made to serve out his full sentence of 12 years due to the severity of the offence, said the Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih).
