Umno heads accept Pardon's Board decision but will continue seeking freedom for Najib


KUALA LUMPUR: Umno heads have accepted the decision by the Pardons Board to reduce the sentence of Datuk Seri Najib Razak but their quest to seek the release of the former prime minister will not cease, says Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.

"We just concluded the closed-door meeting with Umno president (Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) and the top leadership, including division leaders, and the executive committees of Wanita Umno, Umno Youth and Puteri Umno, which discussed decision made by the supreme council yesterday (Feb 3). We unanimously decided that we will continue efforts to seek justice for Najib," said the Umno secretary-general.
