PN’s stance on Najib’s pardon to test Pejuang’s principles
Analyst says opposition to Najib Razak and the political culture linked to the 1MDB scandal was fundamental to Pejuang’s formation.
Analyst Asrul Hadi warns that conditional pardon of Najib Razak could challenge Pejuang's anti-corruption stance. Pejuang, formed by former Prime Minister Mahathir in 2021, sees itself as a leading anti-corruption party. However, joining the Perikatan Nasional (PN) partnership alongside Umno, PAS, and Wawasan opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin could dilute Pejuang's principles.
Pejuang information chief Rafique Rashid Ali urges clarity on house arrest conditions for Najib, warning against prioritizing elites. Analyst Ahmad Fauzi suggests Pejuang must balance pragmatism and survival, potentially taking a more principled stance on Najib and corruption within PN to retain relevance.
