Pengampunan Najib: DAP mesyuarat esok tentukan pendirian, tindakan susulan

The DAP Central Executive Council (CEC) will convene tomorrow to discuss the party's stance and subsequent actions following the decision to allow former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest. Loke Siew Fook, the senior secretary-general of DAP, announced this in a statement today, emphasizing that the party's position on corruption and accountability remains unchanged.

The Federal Territory Penal Board (LPWP) has granted Najib's request to serve the remaining portion of his sentence through house arrest until August 23, 2028, contingent upon a RM50 million fine and compliance with the set conditions. Loke reiterated DAP's respect for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's pardoning power, as stipulated by the Constitution, while maintaining its commitment to the principles of the Constitution, constitutional kingship, constitutionalism, and the rule of law.

He also upheld Minister of Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territory) Hannah Yeoh's stance during her role as a member of the Federal Territory Penal Board (LPWP), stating that Yeoh's opinions in the LPWP align with DAP's struggle principles and are delivered honestly and transparently for the nation's benefit. In his statement, Loke reminded that the consequences of the 1MDB scandal still burden the government and the people, with the total 1MDB obligations owed to the government amounting to RM51.4 billion, including RM42.5 billion already paid by the government and the remaining RM8.9 billion in debt, according to the Ministry of Finance's report on September 13, 2026.
