Bersih lauds Federal Court verdict in SRC case as a clear, strong message against graft

THE Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) applauds the Federal Court’s decision in upholding former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s convictions and sentences on all 7 counts of abuse of power and misappropriation of funds in the SRC International case, citing that the defence “was inherently inconsistent that it fails to raised reasonable doubts”.

The judiciary is an important institution in our democracy; it administers justice and upholds the rule of law. The Federal Court has demonstrated that it will not yield before political and public pressures, and is being fair and just to all parties in the administration of justice.
