Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has filed an application to stay the execution of his 15-year prison sentence, which was imposed in December 2025 for misappropriating funds from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) project. Najib's case will be heard on October 14, 2026, according to Judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin, who assigned the application a date within two weeks.
