Country cannot tolerate corruption or plundering of national wealth, says PM
Regarding Najib Razak’s conditional pardon, Anwar Ibrahim says he will abide by the Federal Constitution.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized that the government firmly stands against corruption and the misappropriation of national wealth. The nation cannot tolerate such actions, he declared, speaking at the 3 Generations Appreciation Dinner in Bangi last night. Anwar highlighted that those accused of stealing the country's wealth must bear full responsibility, regardless of the court's final decision.
He referred to various instances of alleged financial wrongdoing, including the cases involving the Islamic Relief Fund Tabung Haji, the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda), and the controversial 1MDB investment fund. Former Prime Minister Najib Razak, serving a prison sentence for RM42 million misappropriation, has been granted a conditional pardon to serve the remainder of his term under house arrest, provided he pays a RM50 million fine and meets certain conditions.
