My comments : 
After Najib Razak first became PM in 2009, I attended a meeting in his house - with a few other "media" types. One of whom was Dato Kadir Jasin. After that meeting, as we were walking out, Kadir said in Malay, 'I have known Najib since before he became a Minister. He is really stupid".
That was 10 years ago. I notice that since then Najib has had the most unfortunate bad luck of not just being stupid but having much more stupid advisors, friends and hangers on around him. Not forgetting the wife too. Najib is still getting very bad advice. This prosecution involves public interest. He can reduce the pain all around. Or else I think it looks like 20 years or so in Sungei Buloh.
