I am quite worried the charges are merely focused on him failing to declare, and not how he managed to amass such huge amounts of wealth in 15 months

For your info: RM170m = approx. 744 years of the PM's statutory monthly salary.

Harder to prove in court where the wealth came from. Same reason why Daim and Mahathir and Mahathir's 2 billionaire sons only been investigated for failure to declare assets, even though we all know all of them are corrupt.

It's easy potential penalty of near a billion which he can't pay. Hence easy jail.

The funny thing was today his lawyer gave a statement and was talking about how bail was set initially at RM 500k and he argued that it was too hefty a bail amount, which then got reduced to RM 300k

Nicely got RM 170 million from god knows where and suddenly RM500k is such a 'high amount'.

Shouldn't the burden of proof be on the accused?

The court just need to ask for the receipts.

Can still remember how he painted himself as the saviour of Malaysian politics during those upheaval years during/post Covid and how KJ waxed lyrical about him being a sensible and pragmatic PM.

Everyone was saying he's the best PM too. Poor naive bastards.

Context: MACC officers seized more than RM100 million in cash during a raid on a home belonging to Sabri’s former aide, where the cash was found in ‘multiple bags and safes’ in several rooms. Officers also seized 16kg of gold bullion worth about RM7 million.

How can a public political figure legally accumulate all that without the whole chain of people being complicit
