Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has welcomed an apology from former Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is currently imprisoned and seeking leniency for his involvement in the 1MDB scandal.

Anwar emphasized that it is unfair to solely focus on Najib regarding the controversies surrounding the sovereign wealth fund, despite his well-established views on the 1MDB issue.

The High Court is expected to make a decision this week on Najib's appeal in a separate case linked to 1MDB, highlighting the ongoing legal challenges related to one of Malaysia's largest financial scandals.

This scandal has garnered significant international attention and scrutiny.
