Shah Alam: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated on Friday that Najib Razak's conditional pardon does not affect his other pending legal cases. Anwar reminded the Yang di-Pertuan Agong about the importance of ongoing court proceedings. The 1MDB case, as well as civil cases, will continue in court. Anwar said his advice to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Najib's pardon petition did not favor the decision made.
The final decision, he added, rests with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who has the authority to grant pardons. Notably, Najib Razak received a conditional pardon to serve his remaining SRC sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays a RM50 million fine. Despite the pardon, the status of Najib's 1MDB case remains unchanged.
