Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been ordered to serve the remainder of his prison sentence at home until August 2028. The High Court ruled that this conditional pardon must be respected, despite concerns about potential legal implications. His wife, Rosmah Mansor, was granted leave to introduce an affidavit by her former personal shopper in support of an application to freeze her assets.
The Court of Appeal also allowed 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and 10 other companies to use the affidavit, which details how US$346 million was allegedly misappropriated for luxury goods. A businessman received RM23 million in compensation after being deceived into investing in a non-existent Covid-19 vaccine project. Another schoolboy was awarded RM30,000 following a teacher's decision to slam him onto a chair.
