Many are hailing the jailing of former prime minister Najib Razak for corruption as a victory for Malaysians. Some describe it as a victory for the judicial system while others attribute it to his karma.
But it’s also a tragedy of immense proportions; a tragedy that holds many lessons for Malaysians, in particular those in power.
On a personal level, it is a tragedy for Najib and his immediate family. On a national level too, it’s a tragedy.
Najib, scion of a respected family, started his 12-year jail term for corruption Tuesday evening after his last hope for an acquittal was quashed by a five-member Federal Court.
