PH must go on the offensive now, says PKR’s Hassan
The Pasir Gudang MP says the Najib Razak issue has become a burden on Umno and PAS, and people are getting angry at what they see as a two-tier justice system.
Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Karim has urged Pakatan Harapan (PH) to take a more aggressive approach for the upcoming general election, following the conditional pardon granted to former Prime Minister Najib Razak. The PKR member believes this decision has significantly altered the political landscape in Malaysia. Hassan pointed out that prior to Najib's pardon, Anwar Ibrahim, as the prime minister and PKR president, was actively on the defensive, facing harsh criticism, including on social media platforms.
However, the pardon has shifted public sentiment, with people now expressing frustration over the perceived two-tier justice system that favors the elite over ordinary citizens. The MP highlighted that Najib's political career in Umno was not particularly successful, particularly due to Umno's defeat in the 2018 general election amid the 1MDB scandal.
He argued that Najib's presence as a questionable symbol of a government-in-waiting makes it challenging for Umno and PAS to promote a clean and trustworthy government. The conditional pardon was granted by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, following a meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board.
