[KiniNews] Zaid Ibrahim has called on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to free former premier Najib Abdul Razak.

He said this was for the sake of the people and for the unity government to win in the upcoming state election.

According to the former minister, in the scheme of things, RM42 million (the value of corruption Najib is imprisoned for) is a "small change”.

He added that many would say that he condoned corruption but this was not the case.

Zaid later clarified to Malaysiakini he was merely stating that the RM42 million involved in the latter’s case was “smaller” compared to other corruption cases which run into hundreds of millions or even billions of ringgit.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Home Affairs Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail revealed today that Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was granted “special permission” to meet Najib in Kajang Prison recently.

Speaking to reporters in Parliament, Saifuddin said he was notified of the visit by Prisons Department Commissioner-General Nordin Muhamad, the only person other than himself authorised to issue it under Regulation 86 of the Prisons Regulation 2000.
