PETALING JAYA: "Bossku does not end here" - these were the words mentioned by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s daughter Nooryana Najwa after the Federal Court dismissed her father's appeal to quash his conviction and sentence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd trial on Tuesday (Aug 23).
“Maybe we didn’t fight hard enough, maybe we placed our fullest trust in our justice system and maybe we too believed whole-heartedly in our cause and purpose so we stood defiantly these four years,” said Nooryana.
