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 stressed that the nation cannot tolerate corruption or the misappropriation of national wealth, as reported by Bernama. Speaking at the 3 Generations Appreciation Dinner in Bangi, Anwar emphasized the government's adherence to the Federal Constitution and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's decision in the case involving former Prime Minister Najib Razak.
The Prime Minister reaffirmed that those accused of plundering the country's wealth must bear full responsibility, regardless of the final decision. Najib Razak, 73, has been serving a prison sentence since August 2022 for misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd. Sultan Ibrahim granted Najib a conditional pardon in September 2022, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 2028, subject to a RM50 million fine and compliance with certain conditions.
