The “campaigns” to free Najib Razak from prison continue, and the efforts are stronger, especially from his family members and loyal supporters, with #deminajib trending on social media recently.
Najib’s sons and daughter, Datuk Mohd Nizar, Datuk Mohd Nazifuddin, and Nooryana Najwa recently attended the program “#Demi Najib, We’ll Stand By You”. The program was held not only to demand a fair trial for the former PM but also to free him from prison so that he could go home to his family.
Unfair court system!
Najib’s eldest son, Nizar said that his father wasn’t allowed to be represented by any lawyers during his final appeal, which, according to Nizar, has never happened in Malaysian history, reported Astro Awani.
“This is against the laws that are stated in the Constitution of Malaysia. Everyone should be given full capacity to defend themselves but not my father.”
Nizar dubbed the incident “a sad incident in the history of Malaysia.”
He believes the judiciary system in Malaysia has to undergo a major reshuffle to prevent others from experiencing the same thing that happened to Najib.
“I can’t move on”
Najib’s other son, Nazifuddin made it clear that it’s tough for him to move on from the matter unless his father gets the justice he deserves. At the program, Nazifuddin urged the Anwar Ibrahim-led unity government to do the right thing by giving Najib and others the human rights they deserve.
“I want to tell the unity government to do the right thing. Do the morally correcting.”
“I can be patient, but not for long”
Last but not least, Najib’s daughter, Yana said that she’s doing her best to be patient but her patience will not last long, not when it has been 14 months since her father went to prison, saying that “she wants to see the result.”
“We asked for live streaming of the trial, new lawyers, even 10 minutes to change clothes. Everything was rejected. It’s like they couldn’t wait to throw Najib into prison.”
Yana also highlighted how her father is being pressured with other court cases despite already being behind bars.
Najib is currently undergoing a 12-year prison sentence, with 11 years remaining. He will be 81 years old when he gains his freedom.
