The Pardons Board has decided to commute convicted former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's
00:07
jail sentence by half. In a statement issued on Friday, the Pardons Board said Najib will
00:13
be released on August 23, 2028, and the fine imposed on him reduced to 50 million ringgit
00:20
from 210 million ringgit. The Pardons Board said, however, if the fine is not paid, a
00:27
year will be added to the jail time for Najib, and the release date will be on August 23,
00:33
2029. Earlier, during his visit to an eatery at the Pertama shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur,
00:40
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had said that the Pardons Board had made a decision.
00:45
He said the announcement on the outcome of the pardon appeal by Najib would be made on
00:50
Friday. Najib is serving a 12-year jail sentence after being found guilty of abuse of power,
00:57
criminal breach of trust and money laundering in relation to 42 million ringgit that had
01:04
been siphoned from SRC International. Days after he started his sentence, Najib filed
01:10
an application for a pardon in September 2022.
