PUTRAJAYA: From prison cell to PhD pursuit, Datuk Seri Najib Razak was cast by his lawyer as a former leader still thinking about Malaysia’s future. The prosecutors, on the other hand, painted him as the face of “kleptocracy at its worst”. He’s writing as a means of communicating what is the best way for economic transformation in the country,” Shafee said. According to Shafee, the sole ground for Najib’s pardon application was that he was not given a fair trial. “He never received a fair appeal in the SRC case,” Shafee said.
