Former Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has thanked King Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar for granting him a conditional pardon, according to a statement from his legal counsel, Shafee & Co. The pardon comes with a condition: Najib must pay a RM50 million fine, which currently remains unpaid. As a result, a "significant part" of his assets, bank accounts and properties are frozen by the authorities, and he continues to serve his sentence at Kajang Prison.
Najib expressed his gratitude to the King and acknowledged the support of Umno leaders and members during the release. The firm stated that Najib is still weighing his options on how to fulfill the fine condition and is taking legal advice. Umno has also initiated a donation drive to assist Najib in meeting the fine. The firm has requested privacy for Najib's family and will not provide further comment at this time.
