PAS says Najib can still contribute to country

PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan expressed gratitude for the conditional pardon granted to former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. He stated that Malaysians still remember and appreciate Najib's contributions to the nation. According to the conditional pardon, Najib will serve his remaining prison sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028.

The pardon was granted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, following a meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board. PAS believes Najib can continue to contribute ideas and experience to the country's benefit while serving the sentence at home. The pardon reduces Najib's original 12-year sentence to six years and a fine of RM50 million from RM210 million.
