He said it was in fact a “tragedy”.

“This is because the money lost will never be regained,” he said in a Facebook post.

The 1MDB and SRC International scandals, he added, had divided the people and the country.

“Many endured hardship to ensure that the truth is upheld.”

The former Pandan MP recalled how he had issued 132 statements and articles on the scandals plaguing the state sovereign fund and the company from 2013 until this year, and how he spent nine years looking for the masterminds behind these scandals.

He also spoke about how he got a letter of summons a week after issuing his first statement on the 1MDB scandal.

Earlier today, the Federal Court affirmed Najib’s conviction on all seven charges brought against him for abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering involving RM42 million of funds belonging to SRC International.

He was sentenced to 12 years’ jail and fined RM210 million two years ago by the High Court.

The people are in power, says Anwar

PKR president, Anwar Ibrahim, meanwhile, attributed the Federal Court’s decision to the people’s power, as voters had in the last general election decided to back Pakatan Harapan to rid the country of corruption and ensure an independent judiciary.

“It was the people’s decision (in GE14) that enabled a professional prosecution as well as the firmness and bravery of the judiciary to make the decision based on facts and the law, not based on the political decision made by those in power that we experienced for decades,” said Anwar in a video statement on his Facebook page.

He also thanked the Federal Court judges for their bravery and integrity in handling Najib’s case.
