Najib should rest, spend time with grandchildren if pardoned, said daughter Yana

 

NOORYANA Najwa wants her father, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, to take a break from  politics if he is released, and spend his time as a grandfather playing with his grandchildren.

“I appeal to His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, hoping that he will hear the sentiments and voices of UMNO representatives, as we have always remembered our boss,” she said in an interview with Utusan.

According to Nooryana, her father is getting old. Even if he really wants to remain active in politics, perhaps he could simply lend his support and encouragement.

“I want him to rest at home first. Stay home quietly and take a break,” she said, adding that he should spend time as a grandfather and play with his grandchildren, especially those he didn’t have the chance to see because they were born while their grandfather was in prison.

The  news, which was also carried by the Malaysia Gazette, garnered quite the response from our fellow netizens.

“Does Rosmah allow him to rest?” wondered @jllmisai.

Another netizen pointed out that if he was to be pardoned, all the guilty people should also be pardoned.

However, @zocherey was confident that Najib will not see the light of freedom.

@RubaiZulki39328 further advised Najib to do more praying at the mosque.

However, @dy0an0na pointed out how a father was put in jail simply because he stole milk powder for his children.

Extending from @dy0an0na was an infographic by @katenoor, claiming the damages done by Najib.

On another note, PAS has demanded an explanation from the government over the deferment of Najib’s pardon application.

Its secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the matter was of public interest and warranted an immediate explanation.

“PAS believes the deferment of Datuk Seri Najib’s application before the Pardons Board would not have occurred on its own unless there was a directive or objection from either members of the board or other interested third parties,” he said.

Takiyuddin said the circumstances surrounding the deferment should therefore be made clear to the public.

The Prime Minister’s Department had previously said Najib’s application would be deferred to a future Federal Territories Pardons Board (FTPB) meeting.

His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, had also consented to the deferment of Najib’s application to a future FTPB meeting.— Focus Malaysia
