Ketika Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor terus berhadapan dengan pelbagai prosiding mahkamah, ramai yang mula mempersoalkan sama ada perbicaraan yang berlarutan ini benar-benar menegakkan keadilan atau sekadar menjadi hukuman awam. Dengan saman fitnah Najib terhadap Tommy Thomas juga bermula minggu lalu, para penyokongnya bertanya adakah sudah tiba masanya untuk menghentikan pengadilan yang berterusan terhadap keluarga bekas pemimpin negara ini.
Former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak has proven, based on strong circumstantial evidence, that Agong's Decree on House Arrest exists and that he merits benefit of the doubt on the matter!
Former Prime Minister Najib Razak merits one third remission on jail sentence just like former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, there are parallels in law and discretion as both are former heads of government! And then there's the case of Brazil President Lula da Silva who was released from jail by UN Review!
Under the original 12 year jail sentence imposed by the High Court on the disputed RM42m SRC International conviction, former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak would be free on 23 August 2026, however by Agong's allegedly flawed Decree -- unsafe in law -- he may be freed, as per letter from Pardons' Board, only on 23 August 2028!
BN (Barisan Nasional) and PH (Pakatan Harapan) remain strange bedfellows, the latter involved in Trial by Media which put former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in jail after Debate with Anwar Ibrahim!
Agong could have granted Najib release by Decree, from arbitrary detention, based on miscarriage of justice arising from Tainted Ruling in the High Court on 28 July 2020, but the latest statement from the Pardon Board has created more discord
The imminent release of former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak from arbitrary jail blows hot and cold in the media, and has gone viral in the social media, and all walks of life in Malaysia and abroad!
Four judges, in the face of the DNA granted by their Panel Head, may have 'erroneously' deemed that it was fatal flaw in law, indeed not safe, under the circumstances. The Najib defence team argued Judicial Review in oral submission for three days as Appeal purportedly for 2nd bite at the cherry.
There's no reason why former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, backed by 'siapa menang, kami sokong' (we support whoever wins) Sabah and Sarawak, cannot head list of candidates in Parliament for next premiership!
Suspended and retired Judge Hamid Sultan Abu Backer takes issue on constitutional grounds as well on the plight of former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, jailed unrepresented, on Monday 23 August last year!
It's open secret for Yana Najib that the narrative on the 1MDB phenomenon could have been better handled by former Prime Minister Najib Razak and/or media team as Trial by Media took centre stage and threatened him and beleaguered family from all sides!
