KUALA LUMPUR — Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak has been discharged from hospital and returned to prison after testing negative for Covid-19, a spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday (Nov 5).

Najib, 70, is serving a 12-year prison sentence after being found guilty of graft and money laundering in a case related to a multibillion-dollar corruption scandal.
