Former minister and lawyer Zaid Ibrahim has criticized the sentence given to Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman as “excessive and harsh.” Praising Syed Saddiq as an exceptionally talented and passionate public servant, Zaid questioned the inclusion of whipping in the punishment. “Whipping is unnecessary and cruel, a relic from 700 years ago meant to humiliate,” he said. Zaid argued that disproportionate sentences hinder rehabilitation, urging for penalties that allow offenders to reform and contribute to society. “I hope there will be a reprieve for you, Syed,” Zaid said, advocating for a fairer approach to justice.
