COMMENT | How the prime minister handles the matter will decide the fight against corruption.
Since then things have changed, and when Najib took questions from the wire service, he was in the pink of joy. He was not upset when the 1MDB trial was mentioned.
There is no mistaking what Najib meant: the coalition led by Muhyiddin Yassin is in his corner and he has nothing to fear anymore. Help will soon be on the way to extricate him from the 1MDB quagmire. With the wind now blowing in the opposite direction, Najib can confidently say he can expect a fair hearing. In other words, he is looking forward to an acquittal and a quick return to public service, and eventually back in the corridors of power.
Muhyiddin can handpick the top legal officer who may have different ideas which may see the trial take a course more favourable to Najib. Or maybe, the court itself, aware of the changed political environment, may dismiss the whole case. How Muhyiddin handle the 1MDB case will tell a lot about how he intends to fight corruption. Before he was booted out of Najib's cabinet, he was very brave to stand up to his former boss. He was on the side of truth and justice.
