Najib gets discount Rahmah on jail & fine....
Susah2 masukkan dia dlm penjara 
senang2 saja kasi pardon ya!!!
 
Malaysia's Pardons Board has announced that former prime minister Najib Razak's jail sentence for corruption has been reduced from 12 to six years.The official announcement on Friday (Feb 2) comes after the Pardons Board met on Jan 29. CNA was the first to break the news on Jan 31, citing sources including senior government officials, that Najib would have his jail term halved and fine reduced under a partial royal pardon.

Najib, 70, has served less than two years of his prison term for his role in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case. With the reduction in the jail term, Najib has agreed that he will be released on Aug 23, 2028, the statement said. 

The Pardons Board also reduced his RM210 million (US$44.5 million) fine to RM50 million. But if the fine is not paid, one year will be added to Najib's prison sentence and he will be released on Aug 23, 2029, the Board added.


The meeting was one of Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin’s last official tasks before he stepped down as Malaysia’s king on Jan 31 and handed the role to Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar under the country’s unique rotation system for its nine royal state households.

Najib was Malaysia’s prime minister for nine years until May 2018 and its first PM to be imprisoned. He began serving his jail term in August 2022 after two failed appeals to overturn his conviction at a Malaysian High Court two years earlier.

The charges involved the transfer of RM42 million from SRC International, a former subsidiary of 1MDB, into his personal bank accounts in 2014 and 2015.He was found guilty of three counts of criminal breach of trust, three counts of money laundering and one count of abuse of power by the High Court in July 2020, and was sentenced to 12 years in jail and fined RM210 million. The fine remains unsettled.

The bomb has finally been dropped!...

After keeping the nation in suspense for several days, the Pardons Board has finally announced that Najib Razak's sentence has been given a 50% reduction -- from 12 years to 6 -- and his fine reduced from RM210 million to a mere RM50 million!

Why should the Pardons Board give this convicted thief of the people's money such a hefty discount in his jail term? Why should they help this convicted thief save so much money?
That money, after all, belongs to the people and should by right be returned to the people.
Instead, he has been saved from returning RM160 million. That works out to an unacceptable discount of 76%! This is, to say the least, ridiculous. 

In fact, people outside the country are already laughing at us. Najib got a half-price discount, they deride. He clicked a promo code and got it, they jibe. That sounds comic but what it purports is serious. It exposes to us that a serious matter, i.e. the conviction through proper judicial process of a man who stole millions from the people, has been trivialised.


The learned judges who sat in judgement of the case have been insulted and their opinion degraded. What's more tragic is that this move by the Pardons Board was aided and abetted by higher beings. As such, it will not bode well for this country. No good will come out of this travesty of justice. It erodes our values. We stand in danger of not being able to distinguish wrong from right. What has transpired encourages us to distrust the law. It tempts us to follow the example set by the leadership of higher beings. 

As my friend points out, why should we now have to pay a fine if, for instance, we are caught for parking illegally? Why can't we be absolved? What is our offence compared to stealing millions of the people's money? And what about all those nobodies who have been convicted of minor crimes and offences? Why not commute their sentences too? Shouldn't those who steal a packet or two of Milo or RM50 from someone else in order to feed their family be totally pardoned?

Why should Najib Razak be given special treatment instead of being considered a common thief like the others? Where is the fairness and morality in that? Let us hope that even if fairness and morality are now compromised, we can still depend on our judiciary to preserve justice.The lesson that judges who may in the immediate future convict Najib and sentence him to jail for his other ongoing cases could learn from the Pardons Board deed is this: From now on, they may have to hand Najib heftier jail sentences in case those sentences later get discounted as well! - Kee Thuan Chye




Kalu nak mencuri,curilah berbilion2,
masuk lokap dapat dikaun lagi...

Keputusan pengampunan Najib di mana hukuman penjaranya dikurangkan 50% menjadi enam tahun manakala jumlah denda yang perlu dibayar juga dikurangkan daripada RM210 juta kepada RM50 juta. Ini bererti benarlah laporan berita dari luar negara. Persoalannya, bagaimana berita itu boleh diketahui lebih awal oleh wartawan luar negara? Ada perisik atau ada seseorang yang gadaikan integriti dengan menjual berita ini kepada mereka? Ia adalah satu pengkhianatan. Perkara ini wajar disiasat dan pengkhianat itu mesti dihukum.

Keputusan mengurangkan hukuman Najib bagi aku jalan tengah yang diambil oleh mantan YDP Agong. Membebaskan atau mengekalkan hukuman Najib membawa implikasi yang besar terhadap negara. Jadi kurangkan hukuman tindakan paling sesuai. Melihat ke ruangan komen di mana berita ini disiar, aku lihat pelbagai reaksi oleh netizen. Ada yang salahkan DS Anwar kerana gadaikan prinsip. Ada yang sedih kerana keputusan ini bermakna karier politik Najib telah tamat. Ada juga walaun yang menyamar jadi penyokong UMNO menghasut supaya UMNO tinggalkan PH kerana DS Anwar tak dapat bebaskan Najib. Walaun bukan kisahkan Najib. Cuma bercita-cita nak lihat kerajaan tumbang. Itu je.

Pertama sekali, keputusan pengampunan ini adalah prerogatif YDP Agong. DS Anwar tak punya kuasa untuk tentukan. Kalau aku jadi DS Anwar, baik Najib kekal dalam penjara sebab dulu Najib yang buatkan DS Anwar dipenjara kali kedua. Tapi YDP Agong yang tentukan apa bentuk keputusan. Bukannya DS Anwar.

Kedua, aku melihat keputusan ini tak langsung beri kesan kepada peperangan terhadap rasuah. Yang perlu dilihat di sini, keputusan Najib bersalah tak berubah. Dia masih lagi bersalah. Bezanya, hanya hukumannya telah dikurangkan. Lainlah kalau sabitan Najib dibatalkan. Bermakna semua tuduhan sebelum ini gugur. Kalau begitu, ya memang seakan keadilan dicacatkan. Tapi Najib masih lagi dihukum atas dosanya mencuri wang negara. Jadi tak timbul soal pesalah tak dihukum atau DS Anwar gadai prinsip.


Ketiga, ada yang menyindir, orang curi gula, roti dan barang kecil dihukum. Yang curi berjuta pula dilepaskan. Jawapannya, adakah yang curi barang kecil itu ada buat rayuankah?Dalam kenyataan media ini, disebut ada lima kertas pengampunan telah dibincangkan. Lima. Bererti sesiapa saja boleh buat rayuan. Bukan cuma Najib. Dan rasanya, tentu jasa atau sumbangan seseorang itu diambil kira dalam membuat keputusan.

Memang Najib jahat curj wang negara. Akan tetapi, suka atau tidak, tetap kena akui Najib, sebagai PM serta menteri sebelum itu dan ahli parlimen Pekan, sedikit sebanyak Najib ada sumbangan terhadap negara dan rakyat. Jadi yang curi roti, curi sardin dan sebagainya tu, bolehlah cuba mohon pengampunan. Jika mereka ada sumbangan kepada negara, tak mustahil jika mereka juga dapat pengampunan. Daun serai daun gaharu, belum try belum tahu.

Kesimpulannya, keputusan ini adalah keputusan YDP Agong. Tapi seperti yang dijangka, DS Anwar akan tetap menjadi sasaran tohmahan. Apa sekali pun, kalau nak komen jangan sampai terlihat bagai menghina YDP Agong. Nanti kalau kena penjara, sibuk nak minta pengampunan pula. - Raja Gelap II 

More killings...
