The open boasting by mega criminal Najib Razak that his presence in Sabah gained the by-election victory for BN is as hollow as its author is despicable. Does he really think that Kimanis voters endorse his mega millions thefts of public money, theirs included?

What his crowing does highlight is the folly of the government in allowing him freedom to politicise while being tried for very serious crimes, with even more serious ones still to come. Platitudes about this being “normal practice” are just that. Or just talk by those who say “there but for the grace of God go I”

What the Kimanis result actually says is that the electorate, having entrusted power to PH, just dont see it being properly used or used at all. For that there is only one remedy. Change the team.
