Malaysia’s Federal Territories Pardons Board convened on Friday, September 11th, but postponed a decision regarding former Prime Minister Najib Razak’s pardon application. This means Najib Razak will continue serving his sentence at Kajang Prison. He was convicted on charges related to the 1MDB scandal. The board has not specified when it will revisit the application. Najib is currently scheduled to be released from Kajang Prison on August 23, 2028, upon completion of his current jail term. The deferral provides no immediate relief for the former leader, who sought a royal pardon following his conviction.
