Where’s the moral compass of Malay-Muslim parties, says Mujahid
The Amanah deputy president pans Umno and PAS for celebrating the pardon, pointing out that Najib Razak remains convicted of corruption.
The deputy president of Amanah, Mujahid Yusof Rawa, has expressed concern over the moral compass of Malay-Muslim parties Umno and PAS in light of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's decision to allow former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his six-year jail sentence at home. While respecting the king's decision, Mujahid found it troubling that Umno and PAS celebrated the pardon as a victory, questioning their dignity and the normalisation of crime within their ranks.
He criticized their fundraising efforts to aid the convicted former leader, arguing that it is not a noble cause but rather a support system for a convicted individual. Mujahid emphasized the importance of maintaining moral bravery and standing against corruption, warning that allowing such actions would tarnish the Malay and Muslim people's dignity.
He urged Malays to make a crucial decision for their own honor and cautioned against representing the community with those who condone crime.
