I support your look on this...this gave a bad impression on our war against corruption & a blatant double standards on the justice system!

[gkr]

Well said. We gonna pay for the reduced sentence.
Trust betrayed.

[cswong]

Our country has dropped many ladders down in term on integraty and transparency internationally.

[puvididdle]

lagi tinggi pangkat seseorang, lagi berat hukuman yg spatutnya dikenakan. sbab mereka memikul tanggungjawab yg lebih besar utk memelihara kepercayaan yg diberikan oleh org ramai.

pemberian pengampunan utk sesiapa yg mempunyai pangkat yg tinggi cuma memberikan insentif utk pemimpin lain berbuat sedimikian pada masa hadapan.

apa pandangan anda? pendirian ini logic atau tidak?

[kohyuk]

Perompak, pencuri dan pengkhianat negara dapat layanan istimewa, seolah-olah menggalakkan orang rompak dan khianat negara pada skala besar. Bagi saya hukuman setimpal bagi pengkhianat negara seperti kes ini ialah penjara seumur hidup dan sita harta. Dan darjah kebesaran itu sepatutnya ditarik balik.. Najip memalukan nama negara!

[shaunheng]

Some privileged people are above the law, which means the country is lawless for a small group of privileged people. This is a signal to the world.

[mohdhashimhasniabdulmalek]

I m ashamed being a malaysian for the antics of the pardon board

[ravim]

Do they care? Have they ever cared about the country or its people?

[sathiyamurthit]

[TerenceTHNg]

Well said.Chandran Nair hit the nail on the head although it may sound caustic to some people..Voters trust the judiciary system but not the politicians.Got to reset the voting pattern next GE especially the young voters.Put on your thinking caps at the polls.

[tamaruco]

[joycool]

BRILIANT GUY AND WELL SAID !!!! STRAIGHT TO THE POINT FACTOR WITH CLEAR MESSAGE !!!! ASK ANWAR TO COMMENT LIKE THIS !!!

[abdulrahmansallehudin]

....and come GE16, the people will surely vote for these pirates again.😂 the cycled of stupidity never ends

[Ed.T-pb]

Would 1MDB adds on to the jail time? 1, 000 years!

[azaliselamat]

in reality, investors had since left malaysia in droves after Najib was taken down .. digest that

[chowwah]

You are absolutely right it really have no confidence in investing in Malaysia long live Mr chandran hope to hear from you take care

[harryalfonso]

I think investors are afraid due to the constance of government change and policy change and the government stance on the war in the middle east.

[davelee]

It was sheer mockery. This pardon just made Malaysia look Lawless. Shameful and without integrity and Moral Standards.

[umisalamah-wx]

Yes. U are right ! Hopefully he gets another 20 yrs. God bless.

[beelichoong]

Every action has a REACTION !
