PETALING JAYA: The reduced sentence of six years' jail and a RM50mil for Datuk Seri Najib Razak is inadequate given the gravity of the former prime minister's crime, says Ramkarpal Singh.
PETALING JAYA: Apart from the ascension of a new King, Malaysians have been glued to their newsfeeds this week wondering whether Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the first Malaysian prime minister to have ever been jailed, will get a royal pardon.
It is also learnt that a convict can only receive the Royal Pardon once. Najib’s best option, therefore, is to wait for all the other cases to be over before he seeks for a Royal Pardon; otherwise, if he gets his clemency now, he may have to spend the rest of his natural life in prison.
