1MDB case status remains unchanged after Najib's conditional pardon - MACC

DAP leaders have convened an emergency central executive committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur following the issuance of a conditional pardon to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. The gathering, held at the DAP headquarters, was triggered by the recent development involving Najib's pardon. Loe Siew Fook, the DAP secretary-general, arrived at the meeting around 2.54pm, soon followed by other prominent party figures including Gobind Singh Deo, the DAP chairman, and Teo Nie Ching, the Wanita DAP chief.

Other key attendees were Hannah Yeoh, the DAP deputy secretary-general, who serves on the Federal Territories Pardons Board, and Nga Kor Ming, DAP deputy chairman, among other party leaders. Reports indicated that Najib was granted house arrest for the remainder of his sentence, provided he pays a RM50 million fine related to his conviction in the SRC International case.

The Federal Territories Pardons Board announced that Najib would have to fulfill all conditions imposed on him to serve the rest of his prison term under house arrest until August 23, 2028. Moreover, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, had given his consent to the conditional pardon.
