Former Malaysian minister Syed Saddiq found guilty of graft, handed jail sentence
Former Malaysian youth and sports minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has vacated his position as president of youth party Muda, after he was convicted of corruption.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court found the politician guilty of all four charges related to abetting criminal breach of trust, misappropriation of funds and money laundering. He will remain a member of parliament until all his appeals have been exhausted.

@@qazdrivingexperience1205 "Tun M resigned when Anwar plot a coup against him." Are you living in another dimension? It is Dr M who betrayed Anwar when he refused to hand over the PM post as agreed, after Anwar became an MP, when PKR won the most seats. After the intervention of the Sultan, ultimately after all the ding-dong, Mr Ismail Sabri managed to fill the vacuum left by Dr M. The latest GE, Dr M and his party was soundly defeated in his own constituency losing all his deposit. His own constituency rejected him, and he never became a force to reckon with anymore. He is the thing of the past, irrelevant to be blunt.
When he chose to betray the unity government and became the third force, he should've consider the tragic ending. He dared not to resign his position as Muar MP after retracting his support towards Anwar, how pathetic and ungrateful he is. Syed Saddiq won Muar thanks to PH, so he should've resign and trigger by-election!! You reap what you sow Saddiq, sayonara!!
Only few countries in this world still have whipping punishment.

Can someone provide me a background what is happening here without taking sides ? I thought Syed is a promising next generation !
Wrong move to appoint a Dap politician lawyer to defend his case Backfire because of interference of invisible hand which he had infuriated More trouble to come because even the jusitice dept is under this person thumb Can expect the heaviest sentence ever meted out by the court for this offence suitable to the desire of this invisible hand Feel sorry for Syed He must know that you cannot fight tyrant and dictator alone You will be squashed

Was he "FOUND" guilty or was the guilt prepared and placed only for pronouncing. No finding was necessary. Several others were let off despite incriminating evidence. In those cases too the Judges "FOUND" no case to answer and insufficient evidence.

This will never happen in the Phils.
He's talking nonsence.Let him taste life in prison
Guilty or not-guilty is for the justice system to decide based on the EVIDENCE...but unfortunately the "crime" can always be because of moving funds, unfortunately for lack of lengthy procedures and sometimes with notification to certain levels of leadership but these are often denied or not valid in the financial process. While some process maybe unilaterally Right..its not approved so it's a crime. Nevertheless it's for the accused to have proper process APPROVED and LEGAL in all aspects if not they have to face the music. But only the benefactors, the people, know what is RIGHT although the money might have been diverted from another project...As long as there is no self gratification it should be seen as improper but not a crime.
