KUALA LUMPUR - Supporters of Malaysia's former premier Najib Razak have started a push to get the jailed Umno politician a royal pardon from the country's King, after 300 of them gathered at Malaysia's National Palace on Wednesday (Aug 24).
The move for a pardon came less than 24 hours after Najib's graft conviction was upheld by Malaysia's apex court on Tuesday.
