PH gets its own ‘get out of jail’ card from Najib pardon
It's a silver lining in the cloud overhanging Pakatan Harapan, which the coalition must exploit to the hilt for electoral advantage.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) sees conditional pardon for Najib Razak as a "golden opportunity" to exploit, according to Terence Netto. This follows PH's recent electoral setbacks in Sabah, Johor, and Negeri Sembilan, which were further exacerbated by Umno's joy over these defeats. The pardon, combined with Umno's fundraising efforts to pay Najib's RM50 million fine, seems to embody unequal treatment under the law.
Critics argue that this erodes the public's faith in equal justice. Amanah deputy president Mujahid Yusof Rawa has criticized Umno and PAS for their response to the pardon, emphasizing the need for Malays to uphold their dignity and reject corruption.
