Zahid says Najib solidarity fund hits RM9.25m — still RM40.75m short of target

The Najib Razak Solidarity Fund has reached RM9.25 million nine days after its launch, but still falls short of the RM50 million target required to help the former prime minister meet the fine attached to his conditional pardon. Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi reported the latest amount as of 10am Saturday, leaving the fund RM40.75 million short of its goal.

Efforts are ongoing to increase crowdfunding and reach the amount set by the Pardons Board, as the fine must be settled before the house arrest can be fully implemented.
