COMMENT | Fret not Umno, Najib may make a glorious comeback

COMMENT | As everyone understands by now, politics is the art of making the impossible possible.

For example, who could have thought the likes of DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang and PKR president Anwar Ibrahim joining forces with former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad in the 2018 general election?

If one takes a time machine, travels back to the 1990s and suggests such a thing to Mahathir and Lim, the former would have laughed, while the latter would issue daily statements about how ludicrous the messenger was.

And yet, Mahathir, who was always accused of being the man behind all negativity plaguing the nation, got a second chance to helm Malaysia at the age of 92.

Back to the subject matter, while former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, aged 69, is now incarcerated in Kajang Prison, he can always walk out of his cell a free man upon receiving a pardon from Istana Negara.

Granted, Umno may not seek a pardon for Najib anytime soon...
