1MDB case status unchanged following Najib’s conditional pardon, says MACC

The status of the 1MDB case involving former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak remains unchanged following his conditional pardon, according to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman. Halim emphasized that each case is unique and must be handled separately, based on its specific allegations and issues.

He stated that pending cases will continue as usual and the status quo remains unchanged. The conditional pardon granted to Najib allows him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028, provided he pays a RM50 million fine. This decision was made by the Federal Territories Pardons Board during its 64th meeting held at Istana Negara.
