to uphold former prime minister Najib Razak's conviction in his 1MDB-linked case as a victory for Malaysians in their fight against corruption.
Mr Anwar added that when the people could make a wise decision and the youth are able to determine their own future, Malaysia’s political environment and climate would change. Without this change, he said, it was impossible that Najib’s corruption and embezzlement cases would have faced justice. Chairman of Perikatan Nasional Muhyiddin Yassin said that like other Malaysians who are consistent in the fight against corruption and the abuse of power, he could now breathe a sigh of relief following the Federal Court’s decision against the former prime minister.
