Thief/pencuri Najib jailed 15 years, fined RM11.38b
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26, 2025: The High Court today jailed corrupt, disgraced and shameless former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak 15 years for looting and mismanaging 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
The Umno thief, who is currently serving a jail sentence in Kajang Prison, was also fined RM11.38 billion.
Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah ordered Najib’s jail term to begin in 2028, after he completes his six-year prison sentence in the SRC International case.
The court had earlier found the former prime minister guilty of four counts of abuse of power and 21 counts of money laundering involving RM2.28 billion in 1MDB funds deposited in his AmBank accounts between February 2011 and December 2014.

WOW! Prosecution wants national thief Najib jailed maximum 20 years, fined RM11b
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26, 2025: The prosecution in the High Court today sought the nation’s No.1 thief Najib “1MDB” Razak, who was found guilty of 25 charges of power abuse and money launcdering, to be jailed a maximum 20 years and fined RM11 billion.
Are the sentences sought by the prosecution against the corrupt, disgraced and shameless former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak too harsh?
Consider what Najib did by stealing taxpayers’ money and mismanaging 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) until Malaysian have to settle interests and loan debts until 2053:
Looking at the consequences of the socio-economic impact of the 1MDB financial scandal on Malaysians and Malaysia, the sentences sought by the prosecution certainly doesn’t seem that harsh.
Perhaps, if Najib settles all his taxes and court fines, Malaysian may sympathise with his predicament and forgive him. Of course there will still be others who beg to differ, arguing that the sentences should serve as a deterrent to corrupt politicians, especially those who hold high offices.
What ! Pardon for Jibby? He has to return the loot. He has to pay the fine. He has to settle his tax liability too! - Facebook image and caption
Prosecution seeks 20 years jail, RM11bil fine against Najib in 1MDB case
The prosecution wants the jail term to begin after Najib completes his current sentence for the RM42 million SRC International case.

PUTRAJAYA: The prosecution in Najib Razak’s 1MDB trial is seeking the maximum jail sentence of 20 years against the former prime minister for abuse of power.
Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib also sought the custodial sentence to begin after Najib completes his current sentence for the RM42 million SRC International case.
In the SRC International case, the Federal Territories Pardon Board reduced Najib’s 12 years jail to six years. He is scheduled to be released in 2028.
Earlier today the court found Najib guilty of 25 charges of abuse of power and money laundering involving RM2.28 billion in 1MDB funds deposited into his AmBank accounts between February 2011 and December 2014.
The prosecution also sought a concurrent sentence of 20 years for Najib on the four graft charges.
Akram said the RM11.39 billion fine for the four abuse of power charges is as the law prescribed, that those found guilty for graft face a fine of five times of the gratification sum.
He said the quantum involved in this 1MDB case was RM2.28 billion.
Meanwhile, the jail sentence sought for the 21 charges under Section 4(1) of Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities (Amla) was less than 15 years.
Akram said that “this case is first of its kind” as Najib was a former prime minister and the sum involved was billions of ringgit.
“We hope there will never be another case like this in Malaysian history,” he added.
Akram also mentioned that the government, as of today, has to bear 1MDB’s debt, totalling RM50 billion.
“The government said in the Dewan Rakyat recently that we had paid RM42 billion and had recovered RM29 billion.
For the money laundering charges, Akmal also asked the court to impose a penalty equivalent to the value of the proceeds of unlawful activity, which have been disposed of or cannot be traced as a sum to be recoverable.
Show my client leniency, Shafee pleads
Meanwhile, Najib’s counsel Shafee Abdullah urged the Judge to show leniency to his client.
He argued that there was no evidence Najib used the disputed funds for personal luxury.
“The overwhelming portion of the relevant funds was used for political, social, and welfare activities under the Barisan Nasional framework.
“The limited personal expenditure was functional in nature, related to official obligations as a sitting prime minister,” he said.
Shafee added that Najib’s voluntary return of US$620 million, nearly the entire sum of received donation (US$681 million), speaks to the absence of profit motive and supports his bona fide belief in the legitimacy of the transaction.
On remorse, Shafee told the court that Najib had shown deep and genuine contrition over the 1MDB affair.
He referred to a written letter Najib authored while incarcerated at Kajang Prison, which was publicly read by his son Nizar Najib at a press conference on Oct 24 last year.
In the letter, Najib acknowledged that it pained him daily to know the 1MDB debacle had occurred under his watch as both finance minister and prime minister, and apologised unreservedly to the Malaysian people.
“This apology was made voluntarily, without qualification, and reflects sincere contrition and moral accountability.
“Without prejudice to his legal position, the accused respectfully submits that this public expression of remorse demonstrates acceptance of responsibility at a personal level and ought to be given due weight by this honourable court in exercising leniency in sentencing,” he said.
Shafee also urged the court to order any sentence imposed to run concurrently with Najib’s existing sentences, arguing that the offences arose from the same factual matrix and formed part of a continuous transaction.
To impose consecutive sentences, Shafee submitted, would amount to punishing the same factual complex multiple times.
Damning evidence against Malaysia’s No.1 thief/pencuri Najib: Cover-up bid and forged letters promising ‘donations’

That is why most Lawyers never go to heaven. Their tongues can twist wrong to right and right to wrong just be manipulating words. "Najib has never been convicted of any offence, even of a minor traffic offence throughout his service. "Under his leadership, Malaysia saw major economic reforms," said Shafee. Shafee is citing the SRC case, pointing to how Najib's sentence was reduced, saying it was not because Najib sought a pardon. "My argument is that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong accepted the sole reason we submitted - that he was not given a fair trial," he adds. - Facebook caption and image
Damning evidence against Malaysia’s No.1 thief/pencuri Najib: Cover-up bid and forged letters promising ‘donations’
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17UcPQEr1H/ (Rafizi Ramli on Najib “1MDB” Razak)
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26, 2025: The High Court found damning evidence against the corrupt, disgraced and shameless former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak.
No News Is Bad News reproduces below news reports on the court proceedings that found Malaysia’s No.1 thief/pencuri guilty of 25 charges of power abuse and money laundering:
Najib took ‘drastic’ action after 1MDB scandal broke out, says judge
The High Court found that a task force, set up to probe 1MDB in 2015, was subsequently disbanded, and two key officials were 'removed' from office.
Najib Razak used fugitive businessman Jho Low as an intermediary between himself and the 1MDB management team, according to the High Court.
PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak took “drastic” measures after the 1MDB scandal erupted more than 10 years ago, the High Court found.
Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah, reading out his verdict, noted, however, that no reports were filed either with the police or the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission against Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, a key figure in the 1MDB saga.
Neither were reports lodged in connection with Najib’s claims that certain individuals had “forged” his signature on documents linked to the fund, the judge said.
Sequerah also noted that a task force investigating 1MDB, comprising senior officers from the Attorney-General’s Chambers, the police, MACC, and Bank Negara Malaysia, was set up in 2015.
The task force was later reportedly disbanded.
Najib had previously testified that he did not disband this task force, saying instead that it was an “administrative decision” communicated at the “appropriate institutional level”.
Sequerah found that it was Najib who “took action” to disband the group.
The court noted that in the same year, then attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail, along with MACC chief commissioner Abu Kassim Mohamed and his deputies were removed from office.
“The accused person (Najib) had also asked (BNM governor) Tan Sri Zeti (Akhtar Aziz) to issue a media statement clearing him of wrongdoings in relation to activities in his bank accounts.
“The above clearly shows a moment of passing interest in the affairs of 1MDB and serves to highlight the extent of the steps of action that he took in order to protect and consolidate this interest.
“It forms an inference that he took various forms of action – sometimes drastic – in relation to matters involving 1MDB in which he undoubtedly had interest,” he said.
Jho Low the ‘middleman’, court finds
The court also found that Low acted as an intermediary between the 1MDB management team and Najib although he held no official position in the company.
Sequerah said that during the defence stage, Najib sought to distance himself from the Penang businessman, claiming that Low, together with several 1MDB officers, including former CEOs Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi and Hazem Abd Rahman, former chief financial officer Azmi Tahir, and former legal counsel Jasmine Loo, had “conspired” to embezzle funds from the company.
“(Najib’s) contention that he was misled by Low and those officers has no merit,” he said.
Sequerah noted that to this day, 1MDB has not initiated any domestic inquiries against Shahrol or the other former officers, nor have they been subjected to any investigation by the authorities.
“These witnesses were not on trial,” he said.
The court took note of Najib’s extensive background in politics and government.
“He is not a ‘country bumpkin’ but of superior intelligence.
“To paint him as someone unaware of what happened in 1MDB cannot hold water,” Sequerah said.
The judge will deliver his verdict later today.
Letters promising ‘donations’ to Najib were forged, says High Court
Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah says the documents were never produced in their original form before the court.
Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah said Najib Razak failed to verify that the money actually came from the late King Abdullah’s family.
PUTRAJAYA: The four “Arab donation” letters relied on by former prime minister Najib Razak in his defence in the 1MDB corruption case were “forged”, the High Court ruled today.
Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah, in analysing the facts, said the defence had failed to convince the court that the funds were “Arab donations”, as Najib had claimed.
He pointed to the testimony of two witnesses – former Malaysia ambassador to Saudi Arabia Syed Omar Al-Saggaf and former religious affairs minister Jamil Khir Baharom – who were with Najib in the late King Abdullah’s palace sometime in January 2010.
Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah.
Both Jamil and Syed Omar previously testified that Najib had told them King Abdullah intended to provide some form of financial “aid”.
“They only heard what the accused told them after he met the Saudi monarch, making their testimonies inconclusive. There is nothing to support this contention by the defence,” Sequerah said, adding that the letters were never produced in their original form before the court.
He said Najib failed to verify that the money actually came from the late monarch’s family and noted that the former premier had merely “anchored his belief on a wider circle of the royal family”.
Sequerah said there was no evidence that the funds were meant to be transferred in instalments, observing that the funds went through third-party private companies, including Vista Equity, Blackstone and Tanore – entities controlled by fugitive Eric Tan – which did not support the defence team’s donation claim.
He said former 1MDB legal counsel Jasmine Loo also testified that she saw fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho instruct his aide, Kee Kok Thiam, to “draft” one of the donation letters during a meeting at a London hotel, and that she saw the letter on Kee’s laptop.
MACC’s trip preplanned to complete the ‘donor’ story, court finds
At the end of 2015, a team of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officers and a former deputy public prosecutor went to Riyadh to investigate the veracity of the four letters said to have been signed and sent by one “Prince Saud Abdulaziz Al-Saud” to Najib, dated between Feb 1, 2011 and June 1, 2014.
Sequerah said the trip was “pre-planned” as no proper statement was recorded from the “prince”.
He noted that investigating and recording officers Nasharudin Amir and Hafaz Nazar said they were only given a prepared statement by Saud’s legal representative, Abdullah Al Koman, and were unable to ask him further questions.
“Nasharudin said he was not able to see Saud’s passport. There was no proper profiling of the individuals who were there.
“He even said he was not satisfied (during the recording statement process),” he said, adding that the trip was an attempt to “complete the story” about the donation.
Sequerah adjourned court for Friday prayers and said the proceedings will resume at 3pm. He indicated that he would take another three hours to complete reading his verdict.
Najib, 72, faces four charges of using his position to obtain RM2.3 billion in bribes from 1MDB funds through the AmIslamic Bank Berhad branch on Jalan Raja Chulan between Feb 24, 2011, and Dec 19, 2014.
These charges were brought under Section 23(1) of the MACC Act, which carries up to 20 years imprisonment and a fine of either five times the amount of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.
He is also accused of committing an additional 21 counts of money laundering at the same bank between March 22, 2013, and Aug 30, 2013.
These charges were framed under Section 4(1)(a) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, which carries a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to RM5 million, or both, upon conviction.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26, 2025: The High Court today found the corrupt, disgraced and shameless former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak guilty on all 25 charges of abuse of power and money laundering linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) international financial scandal.
High Court Judge Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah ruled that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt on the prosecution’s case.
Najib abused his power as finance minister and prime minister on four counts and laundered money on 21 counts involving RM2.28 billion in 1MDB funds deposited in his AmBank accounts between February 2011 and December 2014.
It is now clearly padan muka (serves you right in your face) to the racial and religious bigoted Umno for shamelessly supporting its thieving former president.
Umno has been lobbying for jailbird Najib, now serving a jail sentence in Kajang Prison, to be “freed” (also read as house arrest/backdoor freedom).
This is the man who stole millions, if not billions, of Ringgit from the rakyat dan negara (people and country) and mismanaged the Sovereign Wealth Fund (1MDB) until Malaysians have to service interest and principle debts/loans until 2053!
Of course law-abiding and honest Malaysians are celebrating because the courts are upholding the law and justice by jailing the country’s No.1 thief/pencuri, thereby sentencing the Umno thief to serve more time in Kajang Prison.
And, what is wrong with Malaysians wanting to celebrate the jailing of a thief/pencuri who is responsible for the world largest financial scandal in history.
Only a pencuri party like Umno will shamelessly try to get Najib freed!
Najib found guilty in 1MDB corruption case
High Court rules that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt on the prosecution’s case.

PUTRAJAYA: The High Court here has found former prime minister Najib Razak guilty on all 25 charges of abuse of power and money laundering in his 1MDB case.
Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah ruled that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt on the prosecution’s case.
Sequerah found that Najib had interests in various 1MDB projects, including the PetroSaudi joint venture project, the acquisition of two independent power plants (IPPs), a joint venture with Aabar to develop Tun Razak Exchange, as well as taking a US$1.25 billion loan to purchase an option buy-back.
The court said the money trail presented by the prosecution showed that funds deposited into Najib’s accounts had originated from 1MDB.
“The defence never sought to rebut the report made by BNM (Bank Negara Malaysia) analyst Adam Ariff Roslan,” Sequerah said.
He also said Najib’s action in “returning” more than US$620 million after the 2013 general election raised questions.
However, a year after the funds were “returned” to the sender, Tanore Finance Corporation, Sequerah said Najib received fresh funds, allegedly in the form of a “donation”.
“The return of the donation was a cover-up (of his wrongdoing),” he said.
The court will now hear mitigation from Najib’s lawyers and the prosecution before sentencing is determined.
Najib had stood trial on four counts of abuse of power and 21 of money laundering involving RM2.28 billion in 1MDB funds deposited in his AmBank accounts between February 2011 and December 2014.
A total of 50 witnesses testified during the prosecution’s case, which spanned 253 hearing days from Aug 28, 2019 to May 30, 2024.
During the defence stage, Najib’s lawyers called 26 witnesses to support his case.
The defence hearing began on Dec 2 last year and concluded on May 6.
Oral submissions were heard by the court over 10 days ending on Nov 4.

So, mencuri (stealing) is now halal for PAS!
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26, 2025: So, the Taliban-like PAS is now supporting the “freeing” of the nation’s No. 1 thief, the corrupt, disgraced and shameless Najib “1MDB” Razak.
PAS has joined the racial and religious bigoted Umno in questioning the wisdom of the High Court in upholding the law and denying a kleptocrat/pencuri from being “freed” (also read as house arrest/backdoor freedom).
So, what Najib was found guilty of are all halal?:
So, go on stealing so that racial and religious bigots can all go to jail!

PAS’s remarks on house arrest ruling risk diminishing public trust, says Mahfuz
The Amanah vice-president accuses PAS leaders of creating the perception that the court is challenging the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s powers.
Amanah vice-president Mahfuz Omar said political parties which publicly attack a court decision and drag the institution of the monarchy into politics would only tarnish the principle of separation of powers. (Bernama pic)
PETALING JAYA: Remarks by PAS leaders Takiyuddin Hassan and Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden in response to the High Court’s ruling on Najib Razak’s bid for house arrest risk diminishing the public’s trust in the judiciary, Amanah vice-president Mahfuz Omar warns.
In a statement, Mahfuz accused PAS of “publicly exerting pressure” on the courts. He said the party was also questioning the judge’s wisdom and creating the perception that the court was challenging the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s powers.
“These are not legal arguments, but attempts at political intimidation of the court – an act that undermines the foundation of a nation governed by the rule of law,” he said.
“When a political party publicly attacks a court decision and drags the institution of the monarchy into politics, it tarnishes the principle of the separation of powers.
“PAS is weakening public trust in the justice system and opening the door to instability within national institutions.”
Takiyuddin yesterday said while he respected the court’s ruling, he believed the royal decree allowing Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest should be implemented immediately.
Meanwhile, PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi said in a separate statement that the ruling showed a “serious failure” by the government in handling the issue.
Mahfuz, who is the former Pokok Sena MP and deputy minister, also accused PAS of deliberately misleading the public by claiming that the government had failed to heed the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s decree.
He pointed out that the courts were not under the government’s control.
Mahfuz explained that courts issued rulings based on the evidence before them and established legal procedures, not “political emotions”.
On Monday, High Court Justice Alice Loke dismissed Najib’s application to serve his reduced six-year jail term for his SRC International Sdn Bhd conviction under house arrest.
In dismissing Najib’s judicial review application, Loke said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong was a constitutional monarch, whose powers and functions are exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Constitution.
“The exercise of the prerogative of mercy is no exception. The addendum order was not deliberated or decided at the 61st Federal Territories Pardons Board meeting. There was no compliance with Article 42 of the Federal Constitution,” she said.
In a statement yesterday, the Attorney-General’s Chambers rejected claims that the decision to dismiss Najib’s judicial review application over the addendum had diminished the powers of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the Malay rulers, or governors in matters concerning pardon.
