  "account": "Malaysian Istana Negara has firmly stated that any challenge to the conditional pardon granted to former Prime Minister Najib Razak would amount to denying the orders of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. According to Istana Negara, the conditional pardon is clear, explicit, free of ambiguity, and unrelated to any other matters involving Najib. The statement clarified that the pardon committee for Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya investigated Najib's petition on September 18th, before providing appropriate advice to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim. The committee also included federal territory ministers and state lawyers, and Sultan Ibrahim approved Najib to serve the remaining jail term at home, contingent on a RM50 million fine payment. Istana Negara emphasized that all conditions of the conditional pardon have been met, and any claims challenging the order would be tantamount to denying the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's order. On the same day, Umno widely announced the RM50 million fine collected against Najib after collecting funds via a donation campaign. The High Court of Kuala Lumpur issued a release order after the payment was recorded, but the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) issued a statement delaying the house arrest pending a legal issue inquiry regarding the pardon order and its legal implications. Najib is currently serving his jail term after the Federal Court upheld charges of abuse of power, corruption, and money laundering involving RM42 million from SRC International, former 1MDB company's funds, in August 2022. Meanwhile, Najib was also sentenced to 15 years in jail and a RM11.387 billion fine in the 1MDB case, with his 15-year sentence set to begin in 2028, following his six-year house arrest for the SRC International case.",
