Keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan bukan pembebasan, tetapi memberi sedikit kelegaan selepas bertahun-tahun Rosmah Mansor berdepan sabitan dan penghakiman di media sosial.
The Court of Appeal has not cleared Rosmah Mansor yet. But after seven years of conviction, condemnation and social-media vilification, it has given her something fundamental: an opportunity for evidence at the heart of her case to be properly tested.
As voters prepare to choose a new state government, Negeri Sembilan's unprecedented royal dispute leaves a question the ballot box cannot answer.

But whether it was 100 people in various shades and sizes, or half a million who braved the heat, haze and later, rain, like it or not, it should be a watershed moment for the Pakatan Harapan (PH) folks, especially for their leader, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim.
Pengakuan Pejabat Peguam Negara selepas 527 hari bahawa wujudnya Adendum Diraja – yang membenarkan bekas Perdana Menteri Najib Razak menjalani baki hukuman penjaranya di bawah tahanan rumah – telah mencetuskan kemarahan ramai.

The public perception remains that former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad isn't "Malay" unlike those with family roots in the Archipelago, originally Indian for some, Malay for others, while some are now Indonesian!
