PETALING JAYA: Amanah president Mohamad Sabu has urged Malaysians against being arrogant or overjoyed about Najib Razak going to jail over the SRC International case.
Mohamad, also known as Mat Sabu, said Najib’s conviction should instead be made a lesson for all to steer clear of emulating the former prime minister by committing small or major crimes.
“We should not be happy when something bad happens to someone. Malaysians must continue looking to build the nation and eradicate corruption, so that Malaysia becomes a prosperous and peaceful nation with integrity, now and in the future.
“Take every catastrophe that happens to others as a lesson for us all. Let’s not be arrogant or snobbish. Instead, let us all seek forgiveness from God,” he said in a Facebook post.
Yesterday, the Federal Court affirmed Najib’s conviction and sentence in the SRC case, with the Pekan MP later sent to Kajang Prison following the apex court’s decision.
The decision meant that Najib became the first former prime minister in the history of the country to be imprisoned.
Opposition lawmakers had hailed the court’s decision as a victory for Malaysians, especially for those who voted for change in the 14th general election in 2018.

I have low expectations of Najib being jailed for any significant length of time. He may be out even before his 1MDB case concludes.
