Once again Malaysia’s court system came to the rescue of arch criminal Najib Razak by striking out a case requiring reimbursement of billions stolen from 1 MDB. The defendants, Najib, the supremo of the fund, and the “directors” of it thus secured relief from having to explain their actions in Court.

That is purely temporary. The new PH government will ensure that all these crooks are held personally liable to make repayment and/or serve long prison term in lieu.

As to the judge who made the ruling he can go back to London to re-sit the Bar examinations which this judgment shows to be only too necessary.
