00:00Lawyer Zayed Ibrahim, who once represented former Prime Minister Najib Razak in his final
00:06appeal for the SRC International case, praised Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for accepting
00:11Najib's apology over the 1MDB scandal.
00:15In a post on X, Zayed called Anwar generous and compassionate for welcoming the apology.
00:20While some have criticized Najib's apology as insincere, Zayed said it was good enough
00:25for him and felt Anwar's view on it was more important.
00:29He added that although judges found Najib guilty, it's reasonable for others to see
00:33it differently, especially since Najib is already serving his sentence.
00:37Zayed also said Anwar's response is key to UMNO and Najib's future.
00:42Najib, in a statement read by his son Nizar, said he had spent the last 26 months reflecting
00:48on the 1MDB scandal, which he found painful since it happened under his leadership as
00:52Prime Minister and Finance Minister.
