THE family of Datuk Seri Najib Razak is disappointed he has not been pardoned for his conviction related to the 1MDB scandal, daughter Nooryana Najwa Najib said Friday.

In a social media post, she said her family remained adamant that the former prime minister was not guilty of any crime in the global corruption scandal.

“Although the family appreciates his sentence reduction from 12-year jail term to six that was decided by the Pardons Board, we are disappointed that he was not granted a full pardon and released immediately after consideration of opinions and advice.

“Najib and his family will remain committed and confident that he is innocent,” she said.
