Najib's Pardon - spend remaining prison sentence at HOME? The question is how did Minister Hannah Yeoh VOTE as a member of the Pardons Board - noting that the King acts on the advise of the Pardons Board?
Earlier today, the legal affairs division of the Prime Minister’s Department said Najib had been granted a conditional pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028, subject to payment of his RM50 million fine.
The division said the conditional pardon was granted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, following the 64th meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board today.
Najib, 73, has been serving a six-year sentence at Kajang prison after the board halved his original 12-year sentence in the SRC International case in February 2024. The original RM210 million fine was also reduced to RM50 million.
Did Hannah Yeoh, one of the 5 members of the Pardons Board of 5, including Hannah Yeoh and the Attorney General Dusuki vote to give Najib house arrest? Was it a UNANIMOUS decision of the Pardons Board? Was it a SIMPLE Majority? I believe that Malaysians have a RIGHT TO KNOW...
Minister Hannah Yeoh clearly represents PM Anwar Ibrahim and the Cabinet as its representative. So did Anwar tell Hannah how to vote? Did the Cabinet decide on 'house arrest' for Najib?
Minister Hannah Yeoh also is a DAP MP - and a Pakatan Harapan MP > thus her VOTE matters...
Personally, after all that Najib did, and NOTING the recent High Court decision that convicted him on the 1MDB case ... I do not think that Najib deserves to be PARDONED...
We all know that relationship between BN and PH is at risk > which means that BN MPs may withdraw their support from Anwar Ibrahim to continue being Prime Minister...although, based on past representations even if all 30 BN MPs withdraw support - Anwar theoratically has more than enough MPs (or does he?) to remain Prime Minister?
SO, the worry whether Najib's SECOND PARDON is politically motivated > to ensure PM Anwar Ibrahim remains Prime Minister? If so, it is of CONCERN because Pardon Powers should be based on certain principles > and not a POWER to be abused by the Prime Minister and sitting government..?? We must strengthen laws to prevent future PM(or governments) abusing it for 'friends'????
The CRIME of Anwar was personal and did not affect MONIES of Malaysians or Malaysia? And Anwar had served almost all of prison sentence before he was granted a Pardon - that released him, and allowed him to contest in Elections.
Anwar Ibrahim - Will this be the 1st 'abuse of power' by new government?
Of Najib's Pardon, Pardon REFORMS? Anwar pardoned weeks before his sentence ended, when should one be pardoned?
The Crime of Najib on the other hand was a SERIOUS abuse of power as Prime Minister and Finance Minister > that affected Malaysian reputation and credibility > and resulted in great losses...was it about RM50 billion or more.
Ex-PM Najib sentence of 72 years imprisonment, beats ex-DPM Anwar's 1999 corruption conviction and sentence of 24 years?
Ex-PM Najib sentence of 72 years imprisonment, beats ex-DPM Anwar's 1999 corruption conviction and sentence of 24 years?
SADLY, during the premiership of Anwar Ibrahim, there has been a lot of questionable actions in the administration of criminal justice... failures to charge, discontinuation of criminal prosecutions, withdrawal of criminal appeals to the Court of Appeal.. and what is worst, is that ALL this is happening within a Pakatan Harapan (DAP, Amanah and PKR) led government ... who were VOTED in because of their promised REFORMS > which sadly never materialized generally...
The 1st VIOLATION > when Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim decided to also make himself the Finance Minister... and....
Anwar also admitted submitting Najib's application for a royal pardon to the board for discussion, though he denied doing so under pressure from UMNO. "I said as soon as I receive any appeal, I requested that the pardons board discuss it," he said. (Reuters,February 5, 2024)
Was it also the case this time around?
Najib sentenced to 12 years in Prison by our COURTS - spend just about 4 years in prison, and now will spend the remaining prison sentence at HOME > is this JUSTICE
Najib, 73, has been serving a six-year sentence at Kajang prison after the board halved his original 12-year sentence in the SRC International case in February 2024. The original RM210 million fine was also reduced to RM50 million.
He was imprisoned in August 2022 after the Federal Court dismissed his final appeal in the case.
...serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028

Najib’s conditional pardon doesn’t weaken our stand on graft, says Anwar
The prime minister says all ongoing corruption cases must proceed according to the law.
Anwar said the government’s commitment to the rule of law remained intact, and that all corruption cases, including ongoing cases involving the former prime minister, must proceed according to the law.
“Ultimately, the constitution provides for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s absolute powers, and I hope we will accept the decision positively.
“Beyond that, I want to stress that the rule of law remains intact and our decision to take action against all corruption remains unchanged.
“(The decision) does not mean the country should bow to embezzlement and corruption,” Berita Harian reported him as saying after Friday prayers in Putrajaya.
