The United Malay National Organisation (UMNO) has initiated a nationwide fundraising campaign to aid former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in meeting the RM50 million fine imposed on him following his conditional royal pardon. UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi revealed that the fundraising effort is open to party leaders, members, supporters, and even other parties interested in making voluntary contributions.

The initiative aims to be executed transparently and in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi expressed gratitude to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, for the decision made at today's Pardons Board meeting, which permits Najib to complete his sentence under house arrest. This development is highly significant for Najib, his family, and the entire UMNO community, who had long anticipated such a resolution.
