  • 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,
