Shocked and betrayed: Ordinary Malaysians dismayed at Najib’s reduced jail time

Ordinary Malaysians have expressed shock over the Pardons Board’s decision to halve the jail sentence of former prime minister Najib Razak, with some saying justice in the country has been eroded.

The Pardons Board, at a meeting on Jan 29 chaired by the previous King, Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah, decided to halve Najib’s 12-year prison sentence to six years and reduce the original fine of RM210 million (S$59.5 million) to RM50 million. It announced the decision on Feb 2.

Najib has so far served 17 months in prison after being convicted of graft linked to RM42 million belonging to SRC International, a former subsidiary of troubled state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
