The move by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to not interfere in court proceedings involving former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak has increased the former’s standing in the public eye.
“Generally, the public’s view of his standing is very high but whether this translates into votes remains to be seen. This is because it is still very early to gauge what impact his stand will have in the long term.theSunHe said the prime minister’s support among young voters is very high but the question is how long it will last.
Universiti Malaya political analyst Assoc Prof Dr Awang Azman Awang Pawi said Ismail Sabri has helped reaffirm the trust and confidence in the judiciary by refusing to get involved in the court cases involving Najib. Whether it will make a difference remains to be seen as most of the public are more concerned about bread-and-butter issues rather than the political scenario in the country, Awang Azman said.
He said although he was punished with dismissal from the government and the party at the time, he continued to stick to the principle of upholding the truth.
