KUALA LUMPUR – There are at least two online petitions calling for the government to rescind privileges afforded to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, especially after the Court of Appeal upheld his conviction and sentence in relation to the SRC International Sdn Bhd case.

A petition that was started a month ago by Mohd Ashraf Mustaqim has about 15,000 signatures, while the petition by Azhdeen Valheru already has more than 4,300 signatures in two days.

Both petitions are urging the government to rescind privileges given to Najib as a former prime minister, saying that he has become a national embarrassment.

For example, he should no longer be allowed to receive privileges such as salaries, allowances, pension, bodyguard, outriders, and assistants, among others.

It also said that privileges paid by the people should be stopped, seeing he was found guilty of misappropriating public funds.

One of the petitions suggested that his titles be revoked as an effort to restore the dignity of the federal constitution and Rukun Negara.

Some signatories left comments slamming Najib being allowed to move freely in the country.

“A convicted criminal like Najib should be doing time in Sg Buloh instead of being allowed to galavant around making a mockery of our judiciary system,” said a signatory named Ailin Ton Isahak.
