中新社北京2月2日电 吉隆坡消息：据马来西亚《星报》报道，马来西亚特赦局当地时间2日发表声明说，将前总理纳吉布的刑期由12年缩减至6年。若他按时缴纳5000万林吉特（1林吉特约合1.52元人民币），将于2028年8月23日刑满出狱。
纳吉布曾是马来西亚 longest-serving 总理，因涉及腐败丑闻于2018年竞选失败后被捕。去年4月，他被吉隆坡高等法院判处7项罪名成立，包括洗钱、滥权等，总刑期共12年。此次刑期减半引发了公众和舆论的广泛关注。
马来西亚特赦局在声明中表示，减刑是根据相关法律法规和纳吉布的犯罪情况进行的。据悉，纳吉布在服刑期间表现良好，积极参加教育和康复活动，这也是减刑的一个因素。
纳吉布的律师表示，他们对特赦局的决定表示欢迎，并将尽快为纳吉布申请保释。但反对派则认为，特赦局的决定是对法治的破坏，批评政府出于政治目的干预司法。
马来西亚特赦局的这一决定在本国和国际社会引起了不同反响。一些国家和地区对此表示欢迎，认为这有助于促进国家稳定和政治和解。但也有声音质疑特赦局的公正性，认为这将进一步加剧马来西亚的司法不公问题。

According to reports in the Malaysian newspaper The Star, the Malaysian Pardons Board announced on Tuesday that the sentence of former Prime Minister Najib Razak had been reduced from 12 years to 6 years. If Najib pays a fine of 50 million ringgit (approximately 76 million yuan), he will be released on August 23, 2028.
Najib, who served as Malaysia’s longest-serving prime minister, was arrested following his election defeat in 2018 due to corruption allegations. In April of last year, he was convicted of seven charges, including money laundering and abuse of power, and sentenced to a total of 12 years in prison. The reduction of his sentence has attracted widespread attention from the public and the media.
The Pardons Board stated that the sentence reduction was made in accordance with relevant laws and Najib’s criminal behavior. It is understood that Najib has behaved well during his imprisonment, actively participating in education and rehabilitation activities, which also played a role in his sentence reduction.
Najib’s lawyer welcomed the decision of the Pardons Board and will apply for bail on behalf of his client as soon as possible. However, the opposition criticized the decision, saying it undermines the rule of law and alleging political interference in the judicial process.
The decision of the Pardons Board has evoked different reactions at home and abroad. Some countries and regions welcomed the move, believing that it will contribute to national stability and political reconciliation. However, there are also voices questioning the fairness of the Pardons Board and arguing that the decision will further exacerbate judicial injustice in Malaysia.
