Has everybody had their rant, rave, rock and roll on the Najib's pardon?
Yes I was vaguely aware that the Pardon's Board had pronounced their rubber stamp pardon on Najib - giving him a 50% discount on everything when they should really be adding on another 50% to the sentence and another 50% on those still unpaid fines. I knew about the Pardon Board rubber stamp decision a month ago and I did share that information with a number of you guys on a P&C basis....and now everything has come to roost for this Unity Government, for the Pardon Board and for our PMX! So where do we go from here?
First, as in all things hastily and conveniently conceived, the rationality and legality of that decision will be debated ad nauseum by every Mat, Ah Chong and Siva in this beloved nation of ours. And of course, followed with the normal plea from the powers that be for all Malaysians to respect the decision of the Pardon Board. Huh!
WTF! Respect a decision that has nothing to do with justice and fair play? Come on lah!... this is 2024...where anybody with a computer and some keyboard skill can hammer out his take on the fact that the greatest thief in our Tanah Air is being given a 50% discount on his sentence and have their opinion published on the WWW in less that two shakes of a kerabau's tail. And so now PMX is having to deal with the backlash of that incomprehensible decision.
I only have this to say for now. Sit back, get some kuachi and teh tarik and take a seat. The Najib show ain't over yet. The Fat Lady has not sung....how can she sing when she herself is still waiting for her show to start!
I believe that common sense, the rule of law and public opinion, will prevail - Najib will still have a few more good years to spend in Kajang because anything else is a travesty of justice and of all things good in this fucked up country of ours. In other words...let us keep that MF in Kajang for the rest of his sentence and for the rest of the sentences that will come his way in the other charges that he is facing!
Enough said
*Malaysians ask 70 reasons why Najib should be pardoned? *
Malaysians are asking whether it was fair to reduce Najib Razak's prison sentence from 12 to six years.
While Najib and his family may be grateful and overjoyed, Malaysians are unhappy.
It all comes back to the 1MDB trial, which exposed Najib’s misdeeds as Malaysia’s prime minister.
A petition is already circulating from Malaysians disgusted with the pardon. It read: "Please sign this petition to reverse the decision of the Pardon Board."
*Malaysiakini’s You Say*
1 The obvious question is - on what grounds is former Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak seeking pardon?
2. What did the offender do or contribute to the country that makes his crime worthy of…
