Najib's pardon postponed; Rosmah Mansor says family disappointed

The Malaysian monarch, Sultan Ibrahim, has postponed the consideration of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's pardon request, sending it to a future session of the Pardons Board. The decision was announced by the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department following the 63rd meeting of the Pardons Board covering Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya. Rosmah Mansor, Najib's wife, said the family feels let down, explaining that their expectations differed from the decision and that they will continue to pray.

She contrasted the news with the recent permission granted for Peter Anthony to return home, expressing happiness for his family. Rosmah thanked supporters for their prayers and affirmed that Najib knows they continue to pray for him. The development sustains public focus on Najib's legal status and his supporters' hopes.
