BN welcomes Najib's conditional pardon with deep gratitude – Zambry [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional welcomed with deep gratitude the decision by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, to grant a conditional pardon to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and respect all conditions and processes set.
Barisan Nasional (BN) expressed deep gratitude for the conditional pardon granted by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. BN Secretary-General Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir stated that BN Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the Supreme Council leadership, component parties, and Friends of BN all held the King in profound gratitude.
The decision allows Najib to complete his sentence under house arrest. Zambry affirmed that BN would uphold the principles of constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy, and the rule of law. The conditional pardon means Najib will serve his remaining sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays a RM50 million fine.
The decision came at the 64th meeting of the Pardons Board for Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya at Istana Negara today.
