  • Barisan Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has hinted that Najib Razak and his family have new hope, following supposed fresh evidence to prove the existence of a supplementary order allowing him to serve the remainder of his jail term under house arrest.

The article from MSN discusses comments made by Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi regarding the potential release of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. Zahid mentioned that there might be "light at the end of the tunnel" for Najib, who is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence for corruption related to the 1MDB scandal. This optimism stems from ongoing discussions and legal reviews, including a royal pardon application and a judicial review of a DNAA (Discharge Not Amounting to Acquittal) decision in another case. Zahid emphasized that while there is hope, the process must follow legal procedures, and any decision would be based on the merits of the case and the law. He also noted that Najib's situation has been a topic of concern within Umno, with many party members and supporters hoping for his release.
