A former prime minister is seeking a pardon for his role in a corruption scandal. Najib Razak, 74, has been in prison since August 2022. His application for clemency is set to be discussed by the Federal Territories Pardons Board. The board, headed by Malaysia's king, will meet on September 11 to consider the matter.
It is unclear what the outcome of the meeting will be or if a decision will be made. One possible result is that Najib could be allowed to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest. The pardon board includes cabinet members, such as Hannah Yeoh. Further details about the case and the pardon process are available from the source.
