Summary created with AI assistance · Source: scmp.com
- A Kuala Lumpur High Court judge found no special circumstances warranting suspension of the punishment.
- The 15-year sentence is set to begin after his current prison term ends in August 2028.
- His defence cited 14 health conditions and 14 daily medications, warning of irreversible deterioration before appeals are decided.
- In September 2026, a conditional royal pardon permitted him to serve his separate SRC sentence at home after paying 50 million ringgit.
Therefore, I find no merit in this application, and it is accordingly dismissed,— Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin, delivering the ruling on Najib Razak's bid to suspend his 15-year 1MDB sentence
