The Democratic Action Party (DAP) will hold an emergency central executive committee meeting to determine its response to the conditional pardon granted to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, allowing him house arrest until 2028, subject to a RM50 million fine.

Party secretary-general Anthony Loke emphasized the lasting impact of Najib's 1MDB conviction on Malaysia's reputation and financial standing, which has burdened taxpayers with significant liabilities.

While affirming the DAP's commitment to accountability and the rule of law, Loke acknowledged the constitutional pardoning power of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim asserted that the pardon does not weaken the government's stance against corruption.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — DAP will convene an emergency central executive committee (CEC) meeting tomorrow to decide its formal position in response to the conditional pardon granted to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, party secretary-general Anthony Loke announced today.

The announcement came hours after the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister’s Department confirmed that His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, consented to grant Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028, subject to a RM50 million fine.

“This scandal has associated Malaysia's name with kleptocracy in the eyes of the world, tarnishing the country's image and eroding public and investor confidence in the nation's administrative institutions,” Loke said of the 1MDB scandal.

“The conviction of Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the case involving 1MDB is an offence that has been decided by the courts, and its impact on the country cannot be forgotten.”

Loke noted that the long-term financial fallout remains severe, citing recent Finance Ministry data indicating that 1MDB obligations have saddled taxpayers with RM51.4 billion in liabilities, comprising RM42.5 billion already settled and RM8.9 billion in outstanding debt.

He reiterated DAP’s longstanding stance demanding accountability for the scandal, recalling that public outrage over 1MDB was the decisive catalyst behind the historic change of government in the 2018 general election.

Defending Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh’s role on the Pardons Board, Loke said that she had consistently articulated the party’s core principles and discharged her constitutional duties candidly in the national interest.

“At the same time, DAP respects the pardoning power of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as provided for under the Federal Constitution.

“DAP has always upheld the principles of constitutional monarchy and the sanctity of the constitution, alongside defending the rule of law and the fight against corruption,” he added.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim maintained that the pardon does not dilute the government’s resolve to combat graft and power abuse.

Anwar stressed that all existing corruption investigations and ongoing court proceedings involving Najib must continue without compromise under the law.

民主行动党（DAP）将召开紧急中央执行委员会会议，以决定对前首相拿督斯里纳吉·拉扎克获得有条件赦免一事作出回应。该赦免允许纳吉·拉扎克被软禁至2028年，但需缴纳5000万令吉的罚款。

党总秘书长陆兆福强调，纳吉布因1MDB案被定罪对马来西亚的声誉和财政状况产生了持久影响，给纳税人带来了沉重的债务负担。

陆兆福在重申民主行动党对问责制和法治的承诺的同时，也承认最高元首拥有宪法赋予的赦免权。

安瓦尔·易卜拉欣总理断言，此次赦免不会削弱政府打击腐败的立场。

吉隆坡，9月18日讯——民主行动党总秘书陆兆福今日宣布，该党将于明日召开紧急中央执行委员会（CEC）会议，以决定其对前首相拿督斯里纳吉·拉扎克获得有条件赦免一事的正式立场。

就在首相署法律事务司确认马来西亚最高元首苏丹易卜拉欣陛下同意给予纳吉有条件赦免数小时后，该消息随即发布。纳吉获赦免后，将被软禁在家，直至2028年8月23日，并需缴纳5000万令吉的罚款。

“这一丑闻让马来西亚在世人眼中与盗贼统治联系在一起，玷污了国家形象，削弱了公众和投资者对国家行政机构的信心，”陆兆福在谈到1MDB丑闻时说道。

“拿督斯里纳吉·拉扎克在1MDB案中的定罪是法院已经判决的罪行，它对国家的影响不容忽视。”

陆兆福指出，长期的财务影响依然严重，他援引财政部最近的数据表明，1MDB的债务已使纳税人背负了514亿令吉的负债，其中包括已结清的425亿令吉和未偿债务的89亿令吉。
