Nazifuddin Najib, who is Najib’s son stated that if Barisan Nasional (BN) achieves a landslide victory in the Johor state election, it should be interpreted as the people wanting former Prime Minister Najib Razak pardoned and released.

Mohd Rashid Mohd Noh, 44, an e-hailing driver, who was jailed for one month will also disagree.

The above cases are just a few of the many that happened regularly.
What is the commonality in all the above cases?
Stealing milk powder, diapers, essentials for their children.
What drove them to steal?
Is it because the government that they voted for, failed them?
Failed in providing for all ordinary Malaysians?
If the people do really agree and want Najib pardon and freed, the crime by Najib wasn’t corrected.
It was protected.
Accountability will enter the lexicon of words that define Malaysia, just like Malaysia Boleh.
Steal millions, destabilise institutions, mislead the nation, justice meted out but serve only a fraction of the sentence.
Steal milk for your children, serve the full sentence meted out.
Malaysians are telling their future generations that the real crime in this country is poverty, not power.
Hunger is prosecuted faster than corruption.
Desperation gets handcuffs; deception gets immunity.
So for those who will be voting on 11 July 2026 across Johor, don’t ask what the future generations can do for you, ask what you did for them.
