Najib fund collects RM9.25mil, short of RM50mil target
KUALA LUMPUR: The Najib Razak Solidarity Fund has raised RM9.25 million as of 10am today, but remains short of its RM50 million target, said Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
As of 10am today, the Najib Razak Solidarity Fund has raised RM9.25 million, falling short of its RM50 million target, according to Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Zahid stated that efforts were underway to boost the collection and reach the goal. The fundraising campaign, initiated by Umno on September 18, aims to assist former prime minister Najib Razak in settling a RM50 million fine and alleviating his financial difficulties.
This fine was imposed following his conviction in the SRC International case. The Federal Territories Pardons Board granted Najib a conditional pardon, enabling him to serve the remainder of his six-year sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he fulfills the RM50 million fine. If he fails to do so, the pardon could be revoked, and he would have to serve the rest of his sentence in prison.
