JAILING NAJIB
Mahathir Mohamad
‘ممنجاركن نجيب’ – محضير
1. UMNO’s Deputy President said (he denied afterwards) that Najib should go to jail first before asking for pardon.
2. I don’t think Najib relish the idea of going to prison. He would want to be pardoned without going to jail. Of course only the Agong can pardon him.
3. But events seem to indicate that a full pardon is possible. This will enable Najib to contest in elections and to become Prime Minister again. Malaysians can then kiss his hand more ardently.
4. The world will laugh. But Malaysians don’t mind. Najib has made Malays shameless. Stealing is okay, especially if you are the boss.
5. We are a kleptocracy, a country of thieves led by thieves. Come General Election 15 we will vote for them because we get a little of their stolen money.
6. Many say there is no alternative. All politicians are corrupt. Fortunately this is not quite true. There are politicians who are not corrupt, who love their country, and who want Malaysia to once again be an Asian Tiger.
7. There are also Non-Governmental Organisations who want Malaysia to be a great country. Unfortunately NGOs are not political parties. They hope to persuade the politicians to reject corruption. The dirty politicians who now rule Malaysia will ignore them.
8. The best way for NGOs to achieve their struggle to clean the Government is for them and their followers to vote for clean politicians who are not in power now but who wish for Malaysia to recover as an Asian Tiger.
9. Alternatively they can stand for elections as candidates of clean parties without joining the parties.
10. In the 14th Elections, Parti Keadilan lent its symbol and flag to candidates from Bersatu, Amanah and DAP and they won and set up the Government called Pakatan Harapan.
11. The same strategy can be used in the 15th General Election. This way the NGOs would be in a better position to carry out their struggle but of course they must get the permission of the party whose symbol and flag they choose to use.
12. As far as jailing Najib is concerned, the Federal Court which is hearing the appeal will decide.
13. If the finding is not unanimous, it is likely that a pardon would be given.
14. This is the wish of corrupt people who believe that a corrupt government will tolerate their corruption.
