KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said that even hundreds of years of service cannot justify letting anyone plunder the wealth of the people and the country.
“Even hundreds of years of service cannot be a reason for us to let anyone plunder and rob the wealth of the people and the country. This attitude of compromising with corruption in the name of service is far from the teachings of Islam.
“This ‘tolerance for evil’ is what is ruining us. Those of us who hate and oppose corruption must speak louder and send a clear message that those who commit corruption belong in prison,” he said in a Facebook post.
He did not name anyone, but the post comes a day after former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was transferred from Kajang Prison to serve the remainder of his six-year SRC International jail sentence under house arrest in Jalan Langgak Duta.
