Sumpah Laknat.

 Friday 10.12.2021.

Najib can repeat his "Oath Before God" as often as he wants. In a "holier than thou" tone he says he's being judged by "this world's court". There's another "other world's court" waiting for him. So he'll face that other court, too? Would he repeat his alibi ?  Would he escape guilt ?. What exactly has he said to God in his "sumpah laknat"?  That he didn't personally ask for the money ? That he didn't personally transfer the money ? Strictly speaking he may not have done those things by himself, and he would not be lying in saying that.  But money moved in and out of his personal bank account. He drew money for his own use from that account. Lots of it. The records were produced in court. His personal expenditures were recorded and produced in court. Witnesses said it happened. And throughout the trial and appeal he gave false statements about not knowing JLow and other untruths, and these statements were disproved in court. He did his best to obstruct justice, when the truth would be revealed if innocent and unobstructed. The AG was sacked. The DPM was sacked. Officers were transferred willy-nilly. Ministers resigned rather than condone lies. "Oath Before God"? You don't do this frivolously. Not if you're a true Muslim. But if you can claim you are innocent, after the money trails have been laid bare in the court of law, you can utter any oath.

Criminals never admit their crimes. Support by sympathisers is no defence. Even "Tuhan" Harun had his supporters. They don't know better. Or don't want to know better.

Now your own siblings, your flesh and blood, want distance from you. Fortunately your parents are not around to see the sad sight. They must have turned in their graves.

The truth of the matter is, this was an unfortunate chain of event of setting up a fund without sufficient controls. As when lots of money is involved, greed and crooks soon smell blood. The rest is history. The downward spiral was so fast that "heads spun" and you're out of depth.  Only governments could deal with such sums. Fortunately for you, you had your fingers on the screws of government. Unfortunately for you, you're now screwed.

Even the USA and Australian governments have felt it necessary to call the whole mess the biggest criminal heist they have seen. You still pin hope on the Federal Court. As the late Muhammad Ali, the boxer, said, you have two chances - slim and none.

There's a Malay saying. You can't cover up carcass with a tablecloth. 12 years and 210 million. You can't cover up those, too.

Update Tuesday 23.8.2022: 

From the 4.7.2018  High Court hearing (4 years 1 month 19 days ago), through the Appeal Court,  the Federal Court this afternoon dismissed Najib's final appeal against conviction (all 7 charges) and at around 6 p.m. entered Kajang jail to serve his sentence. The main 1MDB case goes on.
