COMMENT | Stop pussyfooting - just prosecute the wrongdoers

COMMENT | Those were heady times. The Edge Weekly and its sister newspaper The Edge Financial Daily restarted publication after completing their three-month suspension.

In 2016-2017, 1MDB and Najib Abdul Razak were continuing to make the headlines locally and abroad. The continuous advent of complicity on the part of the then-prime minister had already been detailed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

Despite the emergence of a photograph of Najib and his family holidaying in a yacht with the notorious Low Taek Jho, the former continued to harp that they did not know each other.

The sycophants were insisting that “not a single sen was lost” and almost the entire government machinery was being used to portray Najib (above) as the innocent leader who was being framed.

The key words in the mantra to gullible Malaysians then were “Arab Prince” and “donation”, which have since been blown to smithereens with the revelations as evidence in various court cases.
