KUALA LUMPUR: Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has been discharged from hospital and returned to prison after testing negative for Covid-19, a spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday (Nov 5).

Najib, 70, is serving a 12-year prison sentence after being found guilty of graft and money laundering in a case related to a multibillion-dollar corruption scandal. He was admitted to Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) hospital last week after testing positive for Covid-19. - Reuters
