What does the landmark conviction of Malaysia's former prime minister mean?
Hundreds of supporters thronged the Kuala Lumpur High Court awaiting Najib Razak’s verdict on the 1Malaysia Development Berhad trial, where the former prime minister could be jailed up to 20 years and slapped with more than $1 million in fines.
Najib is, after all, the only sitting prime minister to lose an election, and according to Barisan Nasional supporters, it was due to the 1MDB scandal. This was a landmark and long awaited decision, according to the Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism ’s executive director, Cynthia Gabriel. Najib - former Chairman of Barisan Nasional - was found guilty of receiving $9.88 million into his personal account from SRC.
“This cannot be true. They are lying. He is innocent, he will come out of this free,” she was heard telling a group of supporters. “The charges will go to appeal and the federal court. It will take some time. Until then Najib will be a thorn in everyone’s sides,” he said. Supporters of former Prime Minister Najib Razak react after the verdict in first 1MDB linked trial, outside Kuala Lumpur High Court, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia July 28, 2020.
