马来西亚交通部长陆兆福表示,在前首相纳吉布在缴纳罚款后开始以居家服刑方式服刑时,他将立即辞去内阁职务。
Malaysia’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke said he will resign from the cabinet as soon as former Prime Minister Najib Razak begins serving his sentence under house arrest following the payment of his fine.
陆兆福周五在简报会上说:“纳吉布一回到家中,我的辞职就会生效。”他说,届时“我将向首相递交一份附加信函”。
“As soon as Najib arrives at his home, my resignation will take effect,” Loke said at a briefing on Friday. “I will submit an additional letter to the prime minister,” when that takes place, he said.
陆兆福的离职标志着允许纳吉布居家服刑的决定造成的首个政治牺牲品,这给首相安瓦尔的联合政府增添了新的压力。陆兆福在9月份纳吉布获得特赦后就递交了辞呈,但表示该辞呈将在前首相返回家中时生效。
Loke’s departure marks the first political casualty of the decision to allow Najib to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest, adding fresh strain to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s coalition government. Loke submitted his resignation in September after Najib was granted a royal pardon but said it would take effect once the former premier returned home.
v纳吉布自2022年8月起因从国家主权财富基金1MDB挪用数十亿美元资金而入狱,在曾由他领导的巫统支付了皇家特赦条款要求的5000万林吉特(合1230万美元)罚款后,他将于周五返回家中。
Najib, who had been imprisoned since August 2022 for siphoning off billions of dollars raised by the country’s sovereign wealth fund 1MDB, is due to return home on Friday after United Malays National Organisation — the party he once led — paid the 50 million ringgit ($12.3 million) fine required under the terms of a royal pardon.
1MDB丑闻导致巫统在2018年的选举中败选,结束了该党自独立以来对马来西亚的不间断统治。一直极力争取释放纳吉布的巫统,自2022年以来一直是安瓦尔执政联盟的一部分。
The 1MDB scandal contributed to UMNO’s defeat in the 2018 election, ending the party’s uninterrupted rule of Malaysia since independence. UMNO, which has repeatedly pushed for Najib’s release, has been part of Anwar’s ruling coalition since 2022.
陆兆福同时也是民主行动党的主席,该党是政府各政党中在议会拥有最多议席的政党。他曾在9月份表示,给予纳吉布的有条件特赦“难以接受”。
Loke, who is also chief of the Democratic Action Party, which holds the largest number of seats in parliament among parties in government, had said in September that the conditional pardon given to Najib was “difficult to accept.”
陆兆福周五表示:“我的立场没有改变。这是党的立场,我将遵从党作出的决定。”居家服刑仅适用于纳吉布在其第一起腐败案中被减刑至6年的刑期。这不包括他在另一起与1MDB丑闻有关的审判中于2025年因滥用权力跟洗钱而被判处并正在上诉的另为一个15年徒刑。他在最新的定罪中被罚款114亿林吉特。
“My position has not changed,” Loke said on Friday. “This is the party’s position, and I will abide by the decision made by my party.”The house arrest applies only to Najib’s reduced six-year sentence in his first corruption case. It doesn’t cover a separate 15-year prison term imposed in 2025 for abuse of power and money laundering in another trial linked to the 1MDB scandal, which he is appealing. He was fined 11.4 billion ringgit in the latest conviction.
