Former Malaysia PM Najib will remain in jail as his application for a pardon has been deferred. The Federal Territories Pardons Board made this decision at a meeting on Friday.
Najib is currently serving his sentence at Kajang Prison, with his jail term set to end on Aug 23, 2028. The pardons board will reconsider his application at a future meeting, although the date has not been specified.
Further details on the decision and the next steps in Najib's application process are available from the source. The pardons board's deferral means Najib's situation remains unchanged for now.
