PETALING JAYA: Supporters and critics have taken to social media to express their collective frustration with the Federal Territories Pardons Board’s decision to halve former prime minister Najib Razak’s prison sentence from 12 years to six.
The decision does not seem to have pleased many fans on social media with the critics believing Najib should have been made to serve his sentence to completion.
Meanwhile, supporters appeared disappointed that their champion was not pardoned in full and released.
X user @RainieAbdullah was disappointed with the announcement: “Feeling really upset about Najib getting a 50% cut in punishment and fine. I always believe in a fair justice system, but it’s sad to see such leniency for high-profile figures.
“Ordinary citizens often face the full consequences of their actions. This seems really unfair,” she wrote.
