🇲🇾👑 Malaysia’s King freed 65 prisoners today and left the country’s most famous inmate waiting...
King Sultan Ibrahim postponed a second royal pardon bid by jailed former PM Najib Razak, whose 1Malaysia Development Berhad corruption case still hangs over Kuala Lumpur.
Najib has been in prison since 2022. A 2024 clemency cut his original 12-year term. He faces another 15-year sentence now on appeal.
The delay keeps a live political fight inside Anwar Ibrahim’s coalition, where United Malaysia National Organization still wants him out.
