Malaysia's No. 1 pencuri (thief) from Umno may soon enjoy staying in his luxurious home and not even having to return the loot!!! - Facebook image
Najib ‘1MDB’ may soon be in his luxurious home to enjoy his loot
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6, 2026: Malaysia’s law enforcement is discriminatory in more ways than one.
A man/woman who steals a can of milk powder for his/her baby is fined and jailed.
But when a man who steals (or mismanages) funds belonging to the rakyat dan negara (people and country), he is allowed to seek a pardon and be freed on “house arrest” (if there is such a thing in the Constitution) to enjoy his ill-gotten gains in luxury without even having to return his loot to the rakyat dan negara.
In the disgraced and shameless former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak’s case, he stole and mismanaged the rakyat dan negara’s funds so much that the people (taxpayers) and Government need at least 30 years to settle 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)’s debts.
Current 1MDB Debt Status
· Paid to Date: The Malaysian government has paid RM42.5 billion in 1MDB-related principal, interest, legal, and operating costs as of August 31, 2026.
· Recovered Funds: A total of RM31.3 billion has been recovered through global asset recovery efforts.
· Remaining Obligations: An estimated RM8.9 billion in remaining sukuk (Islamic bonds) and interest is scheduled to run through 2039 (which marks the maturity date of the final 1MDB sukuk principal, not a fixed cleanup deadline for all claims).
· Net Remaining Burden: If no further funds are recovered through ongoing litigation and enforcement, the government faces a remaining net liability of approximately RM20.1 billion.
Why There Is No Set Timeline
· Asset Recovery Uncertainties: The Ministry of Finance has clarified that recovering the rest of the funds relies heavily on ongoing court decisions, international asset tracing, and legal enforcement proceedings rather than a set schedule.
· Fiscal Management: Instead of a rigid settlement date, the government handles remaining commitments year-by-year under long-term fiscal discipline policies.
Should Najib finally steps into his house/home, it only means elite and corrupt politicians with political might can get away with corruption and enjoy the luxury of the millions or billions of Ringgit in loot.
Also, Umno has claimed that it had settled Najib’s RM50 million fine through a donation fund?
If that is the case, Malaysia truly has many stupid and brainless people who support wealthy pencuri-pencuri (thieves) and the corrupt.
If not, where did Umno get the money?

AGC suggests Najib’s house arrest be deferred
The Attorney-General’s Chambers wants a review of the conditional pardon and Order of Discharge as they involve 'complex legal questions'.
The Attorney-General’s Chambers said the matter of the house arrest is unprecedented.
PETALING JAYA:The Attorney-General’s Chambers has suggested that former prime minister Najib Razak’s house arrest be deferred until a review of the conditional pardon and Order of Discharge is conducted.
In a statement this evening, the AGC said these two issues involved “complex legal questions” that had implications for the execution of the royal pardon and a court order.
The matter is also unprecedented, it said.
The AGC said the payment of a RM50 million fine, which was a requirement for Najib to undergo house arrest, only fulfilled one component of the sentence.
The jail term, it said, remains in force until Aug 23, 2028.
“Under this interpretation, house arrest would serve as an alternative means or place of serving the remainder of the prison sentence, rather than bringing the prison sentence to an end,” it said.
The AGC said there was also the matter that the payment of the fine was a condition for the pardon to take full effect, with the consequence that the entire sentence in the SRC International case, including the prison term, was deemed to have been completed.
The second issue involved the legal implications of the Order of Discharge on Payment of Fine which the Kuala Lumpur High Court issued after the fine was paid, it said.
The order directs that Najib be released immediately, while also stipulating that the remainder of his sentence be served under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
Furthermore, the house arrest also has implications for Najib’s 15-year prison sentence for his 1MDB case, which will commence in 2028.
This matter, the AGC said, warrants further examination in view of the application for a stay of execution of the 1MDB sentence, which was dismissed by the High Court on Oct 14.
“The AGC is of the view that a clear and conclusive explanation is needed before they (the pardon and Order of Discharge) are executed,” it said.
Earlier today, Umno said it had settled the RM50 million fine – one of the conditions attached to the conditional pardon by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim – following a crowdfunding initiative.
Najib was jailed in August 2022 after the Federal Court upheld his conviction for abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering involving RM42 million in SRC International funds.
He was sentenced to 12 years’ jail and fined RM210 million.
In January 2024, then Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah halved his prison sentence and reduced his fine to RM50 million as part of a royal pardon.
Two months ago, Sultan Ibrahim granted Najib a further conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
This was subject to Najib’s payment of the fine and compliance with all other stipulated conditions.

WHEN THERE ARE NO LEGAL PROCESSES TO DEFINE "HOUSE ARREST" NAJIB'S HOUSE ARREST SHOULD STAY, UNTILL EITHER SECTION 42 0F THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, OR THE PRISONS ACT 1995 ARE AMENDED TO CATER FOR NAJIB.
YES, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE THAT.
BUT ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, SHOULD WE AMMEND THE CONSTITUTION AND THE PRISONS ACT TO CATER FOR NAJIB?
We must tread with caution and careful, slow and thorough if we are to undertake such amendments less we land up with dangerous precedents.
The law as it now stands allows the Home Minister to gazette any place as a Prison.
For the House Arrest to take effect, the law states ( section 3 Prisons Act 1995);
"The Minister may, by notification in the Gazette, declare any house, building, enclosure or place, or any part thereof, to be a prison for the purposes of this Act for the imprisonment or detention of persons lawfully in custody and may in like manner declare that any such prison shall cease to be a prison for the purposes of this Act."
We must now examine if the Minister has come out with such a notification in the Gazette in the first place and even if he has, we then we must ensure that the house fulfills all requirements of a "Prison" as defined in section 2 of the same Act. the definition is clear that the premises are for use of "prisoners."
This means we can have other prisoners, any prisoner, living with Najib in this designated prison, but not family members, in laws or other close relatives, it is a prison and should be equipped with only what is available in the prison, nothing less, nothing more as this place is by way of notification in the gazette a "prison."
Like any other prisoner, Najib and or others held in this designated prison will be allowed visitors under prison rules under the same entitlement accorded to other prisoners in other prisons.
We can't have Rosmah and the rest living with him as this is not a "Home" arrest but a "House Arrest" in a particular house notified in the Gazette by the Home Minister to be a prison for this purpose.
Being a layman my understanding of section 3 is that it has been put there to cater for Lock Ups, Security Hospital wards, etc. and not for Prisoners like Najib who is in jail for offences against the state.
Thus far we have seen that these proviso has to be fulfilled if Najib were to be put under house arrest.
There is nothing in Article 42, to cater to even granting "House Arrest" because it is non existent in the Federal Constitution.
We have the Prisons Act 1995 that gives us what seems to be a loophole and if we use that, as provided in Section 3 of the Prisons Act 1995, Najib lives in that residence with other prisoners or remains in solitary confinement, for the less of his prison term, with visits from approved visitors at intervals and times exactly similar to that enjoyed by other prisoners including facilities, nothing less and most certainly nothing more.
In the absence of these proviso the Attorney General has made the absolute right decision not to allow Najib his House arrest until and unless such amendments come into force through due process and due care that it does not constitute a precedent in future.

If pencuri Najib settles RM50m fine, it’s a red flag for the IRB
No News Is Bad News
This super corrupt pencuri rakyat dan negara (thief of people and country) may be allowed to live in the luxury of a house arrest!!!
If pencuri Najib settles RM50m fine, it’s a red flag for the IRB
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5, 2026: If the country’s No. 1 pencuri (thief), the disgraced and shameless former Umno president and prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak settles his RM50 million fine, it raises the red flag on many fronts.
> WHERE did the super corrupt pencuri get the money?
> WHAT about the taxes and will the Inland Revenue Board (IRB/LHDN) investigate? and
> THE pencuri owes RM1.69 billion in unpaid income tax and penalties to the IRB (2011 to 2017)!
Key Details of the Case
· The Tax Debt: The IRB filed a suit against Najib to recover RM1.69 billion under the "pay first, talk later" legal principle.
· Court Rulings & Summary Judgment: The Kuala Lumpur High Court previously entered a summary judgment in favor of the IRB, which was subsequently upheld by the Federal Court on October 16, 2023.
· Bankruptcy Proceedings & Reprieve:
o The IRB initiated bankruptcy notices against Najib and his son, Nazifuddin Najib (who faces a separate RM37.6 million tax suit).
o In September 2026, the Court of Appeal granted Najib and his son a suspension/stay of the bankruptcy proceedings.
o The court ruled that continuing the bankruptcy proceedings could prejudice their ongoing tax appeal before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax (SCIT) and disrupt other active criminal and civil cases.
· Current Status: While the bankruptcy proceedings are currently stayed, the underlying tax debt of RM1.69 billion has not been cancelled or settled, and the core dispute over the tax assessment remains pending determination by the SCIT.

No News Is Bad News reproduces below a news report on what Najib’s lawyer is saying about the reported RM50 million finr settlement:
Najib’s lawyer unaware of plans to settle RM50mil fine today
Media reports earlier said the former prime minister was expected to settle the fine to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
Former prime minister Najib Razak was recently granted a conditional pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his SRC case jail sentence under house arrest subject to the payment of a RM50 million fine.
KUALA LUMPUR: Najib Razak’s lawyer, Shafee Abdullah, says he has not received any instructions on whether the former prime minister will pay his RM50 million fine today.
“I did not receive any instructions on this. Maybe some reporters created this news,” Shafee told reporters at the court complex here.
Several media outlets earlier reported that Najib was expected to pay the fine, which would enable him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
A source was quoted as saying that Najib’s representative would make the payment at the court complex here.
Najib was jailed in August 2022 after the Federal Court upheld his conviction for abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering involving RM42 million in SRC International funds.
He was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined RM210 million.
In January 2024, then Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah halved Najib’s prison sentence and reduced his fine to RM50 million through a royal pardon.
In September this year, the current Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, granted Najib a further conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
The arrangement is subject to payment of the RM50 million fine and compliance with other stipulated conditions.
Umno has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help its former president settle the amount.
Speaking at an event in Melaka yesterday, Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the fundraising drive had yet to reach its target to cover Najib’s fine.
