  "account": "Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor expressed her gratitude for the contributions to a fund aimed at helping her husband, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, fulfill the condition of house arrest. The Najib Razak Solidarity Fund has received donations not only from Malaysians but also from individuals in Brunei, Italy, Singapore, and Canada. Rosmah stated that she was touched by the outpouring of support, as the contributors simply wished to see her husband return to his family. She emphasized that she never anticipated such a strong response from those who stood by them through both good and bad times. The fund raised RM634,562.02 within its first three hours after being launched by the United Malays National Organization (Umno). Party secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki indicated that many Malaysians contributed minimal amounts ranging from RM10 to RM50. On Friday, Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, granted Najib a conditional pardon enabling him to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided the RM50 million fine is settled. The decision was made with the Sultan's consent, who chaired a meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board on the same day. However, Najib must adhere to the conditions of the pardon; any violation would result in the immediate revocation of the conditional pardon and the resumption of the remainder of his sentence in prison.",
