INDEED the nation is jubilant with relief following the closure of the SRC scandal involving Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

His imprisonment proved that cash is not king, and that truth is the only and ultimately champion. 

Speculations of a royal pardon will never materialise, because the Malaysian justice system has survived the long, arduous and treacherous road taken by the convicted felon. 

And Malaysians are confident that our monarch will also uphold truth and justice to protect the reputation of a nation that has still a long way to go to navigate out of systemic corruption. 

Truth not only survives, but will also ignite new vigour to combat all crimes against humanity and the desecration of religious teachings. 

Hence, Malaysians celebrating the closure of this SRC trial remain hopeful that justice will soon catch up on the 1MDB scandals well as the Altantuya murder, to name a few. 

With hope for a better nation restituted, celebrating Merdeka come August 31 takes off on a higher note. 

With renewed confidence in the justice system of the country, Malaysians are convinced that the various other criminal and corruption cases pending will soon see speedy closure. 

Indeed, with the debunking of Najib’s mantra, “Cash is king”, all those with blood money on their hands will have only one option. 

Either they owe up sooner and return the robbed wealth of this nation to the citizens, or end up going the way of this former prime minister.

Money and power cannot overpower truth and justice. That is the God-ordained truth all through human civilization. 

The imprisonment of Najib will, therefore, remain as the most historic lesson in this my beloved nation that has been exploited, trodden, rough shod and abused for far too long. 

Both those in government service and in the private sector – corrupt and corrupting Malaysians – must wake up to the sealed fact that the law-abiding and God-fearing (or loving) citizens’ fight against corruption takes on a renewed vigour from now on.
