SHAH ALAM - Just minutes after former prime minister's wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was found guilty of RM1.25 billion solar power graft involving 369 Sarawak rural schools, social media users shared their views asking other leaders to learn and do what is right from now on.
Some Facebook users expressed sympathy and hope that Malaysian leaders will learn right from wrong and will keep away from corruption.
Facebook user, Roslilawati Mukhtar hopes the charges will be a lesson to other politicians.
"Do not embezzle rakyat's and nation's money. Life won't be easy," she warned.
Another Facebook user, Mhh Haikal Hakim hopes politicians would carry out their responsibility with trust.
Others advised Malaysians not to laugh at the misery of others.
"(Why) laugh at someone's misery as if you have not done any sin. Hopefully, Najib and Rosmah will be forgiven for their sins and their dignity will be restored," said user, Ayoh Pink.
Meanwhile, Rosminah Hussien said only God knows the truth and wished the husband and wife well.
Twitter user Kate Ng said, "Extremely glad justice has been served again today."
Rosmah was found guilty over the three corruption charges involving RM1.25 billion solar hybrid energy project for 369 Sarawak rural schools and will face 10 years in jail and RM970 million fine. Meanwhile, Najib was sentenced to 12 years to prison on Aug 23.
However, there were some who were more critical.
Twitter user @IntanEdgar said former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will have a company soon.
"Good for him, he won't be lonely later," IntanEdgar wrote.
"Request compassion only when you get caught. Billions of ringgit that you leech of Malaysians tu how to calculate? Is there any compassion for them?" said another user, Yosh Wong.
