Report: Najib’s clemency bid expected to be discussed by Pardons Board this week

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's request for clemency is likely to be discussed by the Federal Territories Pardons Board this week, according to sources cited by Free Malaysia Today. The meeting, which is scheduled for September 11, may result in a decision or simply a discussion on the matter. It is not clear if the Pardons Board would consider allowing Najib to serve the remaining portion of his sentence under house arrest.

Pakatan Harapan (PH) has reiterated its stance that individuals convicted of corruption or abuse of power should serve their full sentences, emphasizing the need for accountability in high-profile cases.
