Perak Umno to start collecting signature for 'free Najib' royal petition

Perak Umno will start collecting signatures for the party's petition to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to pardon Najib Abdul Razak, who is currently jailed for graft.

State Umno chief Saarani Mohamad said party branches in the state will be instructed to collect signatures during their annual general meetings which will be held soon.

Saarani said many party members sympathise with Najib and are hoping the Agong will grant a pardon.
