Najib Razak’s legal team was deeply disappointed by the refusal to stay the 15-year 1MDB sentence imposed by Justice Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah, but Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah says the defence will now take a fresh stay application to the Court of Appeal, where Najib’s substantive appeal is already pending — even as his separate house-arrest arrangement moves closer to reality.
Bagi sebuah hotel yang mahu menjadi sebahagian daripada komuniti sekitarnya, menghargai abang-abang rider yang setiap hari berada di jalan raya adalah satu langkah kecil yang bermakna – lebih-lebih lagi apabila sarapan RM3 itu turut membantu mereka yang memerlukan, seperti apa yang dikendalikan oleh pekerja dan pengurusan Dorsett Hartamas.
Tahanan rumah bukan remisi atau parol, kata Shafee, yang turut mendedahkan bahawa laporan mengenai kelakuan dan aktiviti Datuk Seri Najib Razak sepanjang berada dalam tahanan adalah “exemplary”.
Bagi mereka yang telah mengikuti perjalanan Najib sejak beliau berada dalam politik dan perkhidmatan awam — daripada ahli politik, menteri dan Timbalan Perdana Menteri hingga Perdana Menteri — perkara itu juga boleh dilihat sebagai kesinambungan disiplin, perwatakan dan etika kerja yang sama ketika beliau berdepan keadaan yang jauh berbeza di dalam penjara.
They thought Barisan Nasional was finished. They were wrong. After its historic defeat in GE14, the coalition many had written off is once again finding its footing — and its voice. From the stunning wins in Johor and Negeri Sembilan to the growing unease within the Unity Government, Hasnah Rahman and Emma Harith look at the rise of Barisan Nasional, its renewed confidence and the new generation that could determine whether this is a comeback — or the beginning of something bigger.
Three former prime ministers facing separate legal proceedings is more than a political spectacle. It raises a bigger question about executive judgement, institutional confidence and the message Malaysia sends to investors.
CEO accountability is under scrutiny as former 1MDB chief executive Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi returns to the witness stand, with defence lawyers questioning where responsibility lies for decisions that led to the fund’s multibillion-ringgit losses.
During the 1MDB Civil Trial, Liquidator Angela Barkhouse told the High Court that her team traced allegedly misappropriated 1MDB funds through a complex network of 29 offshore entities, while acknowledging that her findings were based on a retrospective reconciliation and that she could not confirm the final total amount recovered.
The opening week of the 1MDB Civil Trial has evolved into more than a dispute over who should bear responsibility for losses allegedly suffered by 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). While the defence has questioned the basis of the RM24 billion claim in light of substantial recoveries, cross-examination of investigator Richard Templeman, challenges to the reliability of board minutes and objections to portions of Tony Pua's witness statement have placed the evidential foundation of the plaintiffs' case under scrutiny.
Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah questioned the basis of the government's RM24 billion civil suit against Datuk Seri Najib Razak after revealing that more than RM31 billion linked to 1MDB had already been recovered by authorities.
Ada luka yang sembuh dimamah waktu. Ada luka yang kembali berdarah setiap kali dikenang. Bagi orang Melayu, politik bukan sekadar soal menang atau kalah. Politik juga soal adab, maruah dan rasa hormat. Apabila adab diketepikan, hati mula terluka. Dan apabila hati sudah terluka, undi pada pilihan raya akan berbicara.
Old wounds rarely disappear on their own. Some heal with time. Others reopen whenever they are touched. The recent elections in Sabah, Johor and Negeri Sembilan suggest that many Malay voters continue to view politics through the lens of memory, dignity and respect—values that, in their eyes, have yet to be fully acknowledged.
Johor has delivered more than a state election result — it has sent a powerful political message to Putrajaya. The scale of Barisan Nasional's victory suggests that voters were motivated less by political rhetoric and more by concerns over the rising cost of living, governance and leadership, making the election a significant barometer of national sentiment.
Di sebalik gelaran dan kontroversi, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor juga seorang isteri, ibu dan nenek yang terkesan apabila namanya serta keluarganya dikaitkan dengan dakwaan yang disifatkan sebagai fitnah. Tampil membuat laporan polis, beliau memilih untuk mempertahankan maruah dan mendapatkan keadilan melalui saluran undang-undang.
