Dr M’s ethos vs Najib’s ethos

[superadmin]

From Terence Netto

Presently, there are two ethos vying for electoral support in the national political arena.

One is Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s which holds that the country would be in terminal danger should kleptocrats be endorsed in the Johor state polls on March 12.

The other ethos is Najib Razak’s which holds that he is more victim than perpetrator of a convoluted financial scheme (1MBD) in which four judges have already found him guilty.

Despite two verdicts against him, Najib walks around like he has done nothing wrong.

What’s more, some Malaysians appear to root for him, judging from their reception to his public appearances and responses on social media in which the former prime minister enjoys an outsized presence.

Mahathir, who has denounced this adulation as shameful, professes to be appalled by the spectacle.
