Previously, the IGP had said an investigation was launched after it was alleged that the former Damansara MP's comments uploaded on his Facebook page insulted the royal institution.
On Friday (Feb 2), the Pardons Board reduced former prime minister Najib's jail sentence in the SRC International case to six years from 12, and his fine to RM50mil from RM210mil.
