COMMENT | These questions often cross my mind: Why is a convicted felon who stole a fortune from our nation’s coffers still regarded as a wronged hero?

Why are 160 Umno division chiefs fighting for him to serve the rest of his sentence in the comfort of his home? Haven’t they heard of equality before the law?

Perhaps they have been blinded by the greed of an imagined Golden Age. What Golden Age?

We will not find any answers in our history books, but parallels and politics can prove useful.
