Najib still to pay RM50m fine needed for house arrest, says AG

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak still owes a RM50 million fine required for his house arrest, according to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC). The AG reported that no specific deadline has been set for the payment, and as of now, Najib has not fulfilled the requirement. In September 2023, Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, granted Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays the RM50 million fine.

This fine was initially set at RM210 million and reduced to RM50 million by the Pardons Board in January 2024.
