UMNO is prepared to disclose full details regarding the RM50 million raised through the "Najib Razak Solidarity Fund"—a fund established to enable the former Prime Minister to pay a fine, which is a condition for serving the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.

UMNO President and Barisan Nasional (BN) Chairman, Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, stated that the fund, initiated by UMNO Headquarters, has been closed after successfully reaching its RM50 million target.

He explained that the funds were raised through public contributions, involving not only UMNO members but also the general public.

"We are prepared to disclose all detailed information regarding the funds raised to the relevant authorities. We have received guidelines from these authorities, which we have followed strictly; the funds were disbursed only after being deposited into an account entrusted to the UMNO Malaysia Headquarters," he said.

Ahmad Zahid stated that he does not want any delaying tactics to be employed regarding the implementation of the conditional pardon granted to Najib by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, in his capacity as Chairman of the Pardons Board.

"Therefore, regarding this matter, our stance is that we do not want any 'delay tactics' used to stall the implementation of the pardon granted by His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong—as Chairman of the Pardons Board—a provision enshrined in Article 42 of the Federal Constitution," he said.

The High Court in Kuala Lumpur issued a new order today, directing that Najib immediately serve his sentence under house arrest at his residence in Langgak Duta.

Last Friday, UMNO announced that it had successfully raised RM50 million through the 'Najib Razak Solidarity Fund' to settle the fine imposed on the former Prime Minister in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case. – November 10, 2026
