"Malaysia Reduces Ex-PM Najib Razak's Jail Term for 1MDB Scandal"

Malaysia has halved the sentence of former Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was convicted of stealing millions of dollars from a government fund, setting his release for August 2028 and reducing his fine to a quarter of its original amount, sparking outrage and criticism from observers and citizens. The move has raised questions about the rule of law and transparency in Malaysia, and has led to increased disillusionment with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who came into office on an anti-corruption platform.
