COMMENT | The curse of being a Malaysian PM
No one is above the law and he should know that even former prime ministers of Malaysia are not entitled to special treatment, especially one who has been charged, tried, and sentenced in a court of law.
This is the trouble with former prime ministers who like to imagine they are above the law, or perhaps, that they can do no wrong.
Najib may be behind bars in Kajang Prison, and yet, his name may as well be emblazoned in neon lights. For the past few weeks, all we hear about is the “royal addendum”, his “house arrest”, or his “full pardon”. Not just in the media, both mainstream and online, but also on social media.
When he keeps mentioning the royal addendum, he brings the royals into disrepute because members of the rakyat will wonder why the royalty is interfering in the judicial process...
