MCA thanks King over Najib’s pardon, pledges to uphold constitutional supremacy

MCA has expressed gratitude to His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim for granting a conditional royal pardon to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, stating that it does not negate the courts' earlier conviction of Najib. MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong affirmed that the party will continue to champion the Supremacy of the Constitution and the Rule of Law, while upholding the constitutional monarchy as a vital pillar of the federation.

The statement follows the confirmation by the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department that Sultan Ibrahim consented to grant Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, subject to settling a RM50 million fine.
