Mana kompas moral parti Melayu-Islam, soal Mujahid

The presidency recently granted Najib Razak's conditional release from prison, reducing his sentence from six years to a few months while serving it at home. This comes in the wake of his conviction in the SRC International case. In response, the successor of Mujahid Yusof Rawa questioned the moral compass of Umno and PAS, expressing concern over their celebration of the conditional release as a victory.

The former Religious Affairs Minister acknowledged his respect for the decision, but was troubled by the way Umno and PAS were treating it as a triumph, rather than a punishment for his wrongdoing. He questioned the moral standards of Umno and PAS in celebrating the conviction of a man who had been found guilty in court. Furthermore, Mujahid highlighted the discrepancy in Umno's efforts to collect membership fees to aid Najib in paying his RM50 million fine, arguing that this was not charitable assistance to the less fortunate, but rather a way to support a former prime minister found guilty by the court.

He emphasized that failing to stand firm against corruption will weaken Umno and PAS's ability to defend the honor of the Malay and Muslim communities. The article concludes by urging Malays to reconsider their moral compass and not allow their honor to be represented among those who normalize corruption, as the next generation may come to view corruption as a form of heroism.
