DAP's Stance on Najib Razak's Apology

During a recent press briefing, the Democratic Action Party (DAP) reiterated its firm stance regarding former Prime Minister Najib Razak's situation, particularly in light of his recent public apology for his actions. The party stressed that this apology holds no significance in the eyes of the law, emphasizing that a conviction once established cannot simply be overwritten by expressions of regret. As DAP representatives clarified, regardless of any contrition displayed by Najib, the court's decision stands firm—he has been found guilty of serious crimes that are beyond the scope of circumstantial leniency. Furthermore, the conversation was directed towards the possibility of mitigating sentences through house arrest. In response to inquiries about whether Najib could serve his remaining sentence under house arrest, DAP pointed out that current laws do not permit such leniency for serious offenses. House arrest laws under discussion are aimed at broader prison reform, not specifically at Najib's case. The party underlined that he is still facing multiple legal battles, reaffirming their position that serious crimes cannot be addressed with mere leniency, regardless of public claims of remorse.
