Around 10 supporters gathered outside former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's residence in Jalan Langgak Duta on September 18, following news of his conditional royal pardon. The group arrived mostly in red, with one wearing a red T-shirt featuring Najib's portrait in a shushing gesture. The gathering occurred alongside a heavy media presence along the quiet street, with reporters and camera crews waiting for Najib's arrival from Kajang Prison.
The Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department announced that Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, had granted Najib a conditional pardon. This allowed him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he settles an RM50 million fine. Najib was convicted in 2020 in the SRC International corruption case, linked to the 1MDB financial scandal.
He began serving a 12-year jail sentence in August 2022, with his initial term halved to six years and the fine reduced to RM50 million following a review by the Federal Territories Pardons Board in early 2024.
