Tell us full conditions for Najib’s house arrest, says Rafizi

The Bersama leader says it is the least the government can do, as reaction to the conditional pardon would understandably vary among Malaysians.

Tell us full conditions for Najib’s house arrest, says Rafizi

Former Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak can continue to provide his insights, opinions, and experience to the nation while remaining under house arrest, according to the opposition party Pas. Pas secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan expressed the party's gratitude to Allah and His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, for granting Najib a conditional pardon.

Under the terms of the pardon, Najib will complete the remainder of his sentence, currently set to end on Aug 23, 2028, while residing at home. He must, however, pay a RM50 million fine as part of the agreement. Pas believes that despite being under house arrest, Najib can still contribute his ideas, views, and experience to benefit the country, stating this in a recent statement.

The development is significant not only for Najib's family but also for Malaysians who remember and appreciate his leadership, which brought development and prosperity to the nation.
