KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan who convicted Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor on her graft case, said corruption has reached almost every level of society, hence it must be curtailed before it becomes pandemic.
“I have taken into consideration the mitigating factors submitted by the learned counsel for the accused and also the prosecution’s response. The foremost consideration in deciding the appropriate sentence is public interest. The judge said the punishment provided for under the section was undoubtedly heavy, which signified the seriousness of the offence of corruption.
“The sentences are to run concurrently as the offences committed are intimately connected with each other. The accused is also fined a total of RM970,000,000 for all three charges and if in default, shall be imprisoned for 10 years,” he said.
Unfortunately some political party thinks in order for them to be in power corruption must be preserved.worse, they are actually demanding it.
