Malaysians hail former PM Najib’s jailing as a warning against corruption – former prime minister Najib Razak spends his first day in prison at a complex outside the country’s capital.

He will be the 1st ever Malaysian former prime minister to be jailed, after Malaysia’s top court upheld his corruption conviction and twelve year jail sentence, in the case linked to the multibillion-dollar scandal at the 1MDB state fund.

Najib had denied any wrongdoing in relation to the scandal that engulfed 1MDB, or 1Malaysia Development Berhad, a state fund set up to promote development. Billions of dollars were estimated to have been siphoned from the fund.

The scandal had brought down Najib’s government, & prompted investigations in Singapore, Switzerland, US and around the world.

“This is a simple and straightforward case of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering. We are unable to conclude that any of the findings of the High Court, as affirmed by the Court of Appeal, were perverse or plainly wrong so as to warrant appellate intervention. We agree that the defense is so inherently inconsistent and incredible that it does not raise a reasonable doubt on the prosecution case.” the Chief Justice Maimun Tuan Mat said.

Travellers to Malaysia from Singapore have generally welcome the weak Ringgit, touching record low levels against the Singapore Dollar.
