BANGI, September 26 2026, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the government respects the Federal Constitution and the decision of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong regarding former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s conditional pardon.
Anwar said this does not prevent the Prime Minister from offering views and advice based on the law, jurisprudence and the national interest.
He stressed that Malaysia cannot tolerate corruption or the misuse of national wealth for personal gain.
Anwar also cited issues involving institutions including Tabung Haji, FELDA and 1MDB, saying those responsible for misappropriating public wealth must be held accountable.
Najib was granted a conditional pardon on Sept 18, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028, subject to a RM50 million fine and compliance with the conditions.
As of Sept 21, the Attorney-General said the RM50 million fine had yet to be paid.
