Presumably pending his hoped for way off the hook by “discharge not amounting to an acquittal” Najib has resumed his “Prime Ministerial” role by publicly attacking “senior minister” Ismail Sabri over “poorly managed quarantine centres” The “Prime Minister” speaks out while the  actual Prime Minister is off sick? Najib was never noted for courtesy and manners but many Malaysians will think this a step too far in public bad manners.

Not that Najib will care. For him no problem exists that cannot be removed with money and clearly he thinks his criminal cases fall into that category. It will be interesting to see if the new Attorney General takes a similar view.
