KUALA LUMPUR – An online petition urging the Yang di-Pertuan Agong not to pardon Datuk Seri Najib Razak for his SRC International corruption conviction has obtained more than 121,000 signatures, while a counter-petition appealing for a royal pardon for the jailed former prime minister has only garnered over 32,000.
The petition against a royal pardon for Najib by the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih 2.0) had collected 121,738 signatures as at press time, since it was initiated two weeks ago following the Pekan MP’s imprisonment after the Federal Court on August 23 upheld his 12-year jail sentence in the SRC International case.
