Najib supporters gather at Istana Negara, causing traffic jams

KUALA LUMPUR – Some 150 supporters of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak have gathered at Gate 3 of Istana Negara here.

It is believed they are there to appeal to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to issue a royal pardon for the former Umno president, who is now in prison serving a 12-year sentence after the Federal Court upheld his SRC International conviction yesterday.

Much to the chagrin of those in the area, the supporters have caused traffic congestion along much of Jalan Sri Hartamas 1 here.

It is understood that traffic is backed up all the way to the government offices near Jalan Duta.

One individual working in an office building near the palace told The Vibes that the group is “causing a lot of ruckus and traffic jams”.

He also lamented that “these people are advocating for a corrupt former prime minister to be set free”.
