The Federal Territories Pardons Board is set to deliberate on former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's clemency application during its upcoming meeting, though it is unclear whether a decision will be made.

Discussion includes the possibility of Najib serving the rest of his reduced sentence under house arrest.

This development aligns with Pakatan Harapan's stance that individuals convicted of corruption should serve their full sentences.

Najib, currently serving a sentence for misappropriating RM42 million linked to the 1MDB scandal, began his prison term in August 2022 after the original sentence was halved.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 — The Federal Territories Pardons Board is expected to discuss former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s application for clemency when it meets this week, according to sources cited by Free Malaysia Today (FMT).

FMT reported that sources familiar with the matter said Najib’s application was expected to be among the issues raised at the board’s meeting, although it remained unclear whether the meeting would result in a decision or merely a discussion.

A separate source told the online news portal that Najib could potentially be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest, although it was unclear whether the option would be considered at the meeting.

The development comes as Pakatan Harapan (PH) reiterated that individuals convicted of corruption or abuse of power, particularly in high-profile cases, should serve their sentences in full.

In a statement issued after midnight by its secretariat council, PH said it supported the Madani government’s efforts to combat corruption, leakages and abuse of power.

It said those convicted of corruption or abuse of power must fully serve the sentences imposed by the courts, while ongoing judicial processes should be allowed to run their course without creating any perception of outside influence.

The coalition did not name Najib or any specific case in the statement.

FMT reported that the statement came amid reports that the Pardons Board was expected to meet on Sept 11 to consider several matters, including Najib’s pardon application relating to his convictions linked to the 1MDB scandal.

Najib, 72, was convicted of misappropriating RM42 million belonging to SRC International and sentenced to 12 years in prison, along with a RM210 million fine. He began serving his sentence at Kajang Prison on Aug 23, 2022.

The Pardons Board subsequently halved his prison term to six years and reduced the fine to RM50 million.

On Dec 22 last year, High Court judge Alice Loke dismissed Najib’s application to serve the remainder of his reduced sentence under house arrest. Najib later withdrew his appeal against the decision.

FMT also reported that it had sought comments from Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh, Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar and Najib’s lawyer Shafee Abdullah.

联邦直辖区赦免委员会将在即将召开的会议上审议前首相拿督斯里纳吉的赦免申请，但目前尚不清楚是否会做出决定。

讨论内容包括纳吉布是否可以被软禁在家服完剩余的减刑刑期。

这一进展与希望联盟的立场相符，即被判犯有贪污罪的人应该服满刑期。

纳吉布目前因挪用与 1MDB 丑闻有关的 4200 万令吉而被判刑，他的原判刑期减半后，于 2022 年 8 月开始服刑。

吉隆坡，9月9日讯——据《今日自由马来西亚》（FMT）援引消息人士报道，联邦直辖区赦免委员会预计将在本周开会讨论前首相拿督斯里纳吉·拉扎克的赦免申请。

FMT报道称，知情人士透露，纳吉布的申请预计将成为董事会会议上提出的问题之一，但目前尚不清楚会议是否会做出决定，还是仅仅是进行讨论。

另一消息来源告诉该在线新闻门户网站，纳吉布有可能被允许在家监禁服完剩余刑期，但目前尚不清楚会议上是否会考虑这一选项。

此前，希望联盟（PH）重申，被判犯有贪污或滥用职权罪的人，特别是备受瞩目的案件中的罪犯，应该服满刑期。
