PUTRAJAYA: Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has been granted a conditional pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays a fine of RM50mil.
The decision was made during the 64th meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board on Friday (Sept 18), which was chaired by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.
In an official statement released Friday, the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department confirmed that the conditional pardon remains strictly subject to Najib fulfilling all specified conditions—including payment of the RM50mil fine.
"He must comply with all set conditions. If he fails to comply with any of these terms, the conditional pardon will be automatically revoked, and he must immediately serve the remainder of his sentence in prison," the statement read.
