A lot of anger has arisen since Najib Razak was returned to Kajang prison (barely 3km from my own residence in Simpang Balak), after Umno paid the RM50 million fine imposed as part of his sentence in the SRC International case.
Some of that anger came from Umno and its Perikatan Nasional supporters, and some from the office of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
To all and sundry, the royal pardon order was simple enough: once Najib has paid the RM50 million fine, take him back to his Langgak Duta mansion until August 2028, when his sentence in the SRC International case ends.
After that, I presume Najib would then be returned to Kajang prison to serve his 15-year sentence in the 1MDB case and pay his RM11 billion fine. I also assume Umno would then petition for a full pardon, or a partial one with yet another bout of house arrest.
