What lies ahead for Najib?

AFTER the Federal Court’s move to dismiss the final appeal of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the SRC International case, the right to appeal ends because of the simple principle of finality in decisions.

Hence, Najib who was sentenced to 12 years in jail and a fine of RM210 mil served his first day in jail on Aug 23, when his appeal was dismissed.

On Sept 5 Dewan Rakyat speaker Tan Sri Azhar Harun said the former premier has filed a petition seeking a royal pardon for his conviction in the SRC International case.

In a statement, Azhar said Najib filed the petition on Sept 2. This is within 14 days of the Federal Court’s reaffirming of his conviction in the case. This means that Najib remains the Pekan MP.
