Loke, other top guns arrive for CEC meeting on Najib

DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook chaired an emergency central executive committee (CEC) meeting at the party's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. Other DAP leaders who arrived included Gobind Singh Deo, Khoo Poay Tiong, Ngeh Koo Ham, Teo Nie Ching, Hannah Yeoh, Nga Kor Ming, Syahredzan Johan, J Arul Kumar, Kasthuri Patto, and Lim Hui Ying.

The meeting commenced at 3pm to discuss the party's stance and response to Najib Razak's conditional pardon. On Monday, the Prime Minister's Department announced that the king had granted Najib the option to serve the remaining six years of his imprisonment at home, provided he fulfills a RM50 million fine from his SRC International case.

The pardon effectively reduced Najib's original 12-year sentence to a six-year term, with the fine initially set at RM210 million, now scaled down to RM50 million.
