My contacts say the royalty card has yet to be played, but that any pardon would come only after the rest of the charges against him have been settled.

That can at a probability of say 80% that he will die in prison. UNLESS his wife, Rosmah and him 1) shift more of their loot to more of the other 4 factions and/or materially contribute ti bringing enough of Jho Low’s loot back with a fee to factions-backed middlemen.

I’d say the odds now are 70% in favour of a PKR-DAP coalition winning the election that must be held by Seot 2023.

Najib and the court cluster are imminently in too little-too late territory.

Going by the unprecedented support in impossible times for Malaysiakini when it lost in the judiciary, I expect good donations to flow tp the coalition’s effort over and above its #current_currency command.

Proof: The #everybody_is_doing_it_crime reality led by lawyers.

For the first time ever, since time immemorial.

All it would take the Bar Council to clean up the bar is to hold hearings online and off of clients with grievances. A call to whistle-blowers to come forward for protection and bounty.

For the greater good of Malaysia’s prospects.
