LPWP bincang isu pengampunan Najib esok, menurut laporan

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is set to appear before the Federal Territories Good Governance Commission (LPWP) tomorrow to discuss his bid for forgiveness, according to a report by The Straits Times. The meeting will take place a week after the commission postponed Najib's application for a hearing. A senior source told the newspaper that this is an unusual occurrence, as the commission typically considers multiple matters in its meetings. The source added that there may be some form of intervention in this case.

Najib, 73, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined RM210 million after being found guilty of misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International. The commission later reduced his sentence to six years and RM50 million fine. He is currently serving his sentence at Kajang Prison since August 2022. In December 2025, Najib will face charges of abuse of power and embezzlement of corrupt funds involving over RM2 billion linked to the 1MDB scandal.

He faces a 15-year prison term and RM11.38 million fine for these charges and has appealed the verdict. Najib served as Prime Minister from 2009 to 2018.
