KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 12-year jail term has been halved to six years, which means he can be released earlier on August 23, 2028, the Federal Territories Pardons Board said today.

The Pardons Board said it had also decided to reduce his RM210 million fine to RM50 million, and his early release would be contingent on him paying this amount.

If he fails to do so, his early release date will be a year later on August 23, 2029.

  1. He will likely be out by August 2026, with 1/3 remission.
    Merpati will be free to make another run for PM ship, and many Malaysians will support him.

    He got off Extremely Very , Very lightly for the damage he wrought to the Nation.

    Crime does pay, if you are the Right person.
