Partial or full pardon: Why Najib does not deserve it

Amid rumours that Najib Razak is given a pardon by the Pardons Board, many Malaysians are expressing their opposition to him being set free, or even getting a reduced, partial escape route. Many are citing a lack of remorse and incomplete jail time served by the former PM who is adamant he did nothing wrong. Locals are arguing against commuting his sentence, seeing it as disrespect to the judicial process and undermining the guilty verdict.

Full pardon?

Concerns arise about the message such actions would send, questioning justice and morality. Critic Kee Thuan Chye also voices these sentiments, urging consideration of the implications for society. The debate underscores public scrutiny of corruption and privilege, challenging the integrity of Malaysia’s legal system.
