Najib's pardon: Umno Youth to lodge police reports over 'insolent' Pua

Umno Youth will file police reports against former MP Tony Pua for allegedly questioning the previous Agong’s decision to commute Najib Abdul Razak’s jail sentence.

“God willing, youth members will file police reports against Pua across the country for his insolence in questioning the (previous) Agong’s decision.

“See you in court a**hole,” said Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh on Facebook while also posting a screenshot of Pua’s posts.

Yesterday, the Pardons Board announced it reduced Najib’s jail term from 12 years to six years, which means he would be released from prison on Aug 23, 2028.

In a meeting on Monday (Jan 29), the board, chaired by previous Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, also slashed the fine slapped on Najib from RM210 million to RM50 million.

Najib began serving a 12-year jail term for conviction in the RM42 million SRC International case in August 2022.

After the matter was made public, Pua made several Facebook posts, apparently to make fun of the situation.

“Can someone send me to jail for 1 year and in exchange, pay me RM50mil? Pretty please?”

Another post stated: “I beg your pardon?”

While another post was a picture of a “Get out of jail free” card.
