Civil Lawsuits for Negligence or Breach of Duty
- If shareholders or other stakeholders suffer due to the board’s negligent management, they may be able to pursue a civil lawsuit, claiming that directors breached their duties under common law principles. Stakeholders could seek compensation or even injunctive relief to prevent similar future mismanagement.

Public Governance, Accountability, and Transparency Laws
- Government-Linked Investment Company (GLIC) and Sovereign Fund Obligations: GLICs like Khazanah have mandates to act transparently and responsibly. Failure to fulfill these can lead to public scrutiny and calls for reform. Although no specific law targets poor governance in GLICs, public authorities, including the Auditor General and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), can initiate inquiries and make recommendations for accountability.

- Corporate Misconduct: If any form of fraud, insider trading, or unethical practices were involved, Khazanah’s directors could be subject to SC investigations. Misrepresentation of a company's financial health, hiding key information, or deliberately causing losses could all be grounds for legal action.

Disgrace and shame to the country and hurt the goodwill - Public Interest and Financial Impact: Much like the 1MDB case, which affected Malaysia’s international reputation and financial stability, failing to address the FV scam could have severe consequences, potentially impacting stakeholders, investors, and the broader public. If losses go unreported or uninvestigated, it signals that those at the helm are indifferent to potential misappropriations or financial risks within institutions that significantly influence Malaysia’s economy.

To hold Khazanah's leadership accountable for losses in their 2024 fashion investment, it’s essential to critically examine both performance and responsibility. Here’s why the Chairman, CEO, and board should face consequences rather than receive top 1% income:
1. Fiduciary Responsibility: Khazanah's executive team is entrusted with the stewardship of public assets, a duty that demands high standards of diligence. If an investment in fashion led to losses, it raises questions about their investment strategies, oversight, and due diligence practices. Accountability should match these responsibilities.
2. Public Trust and Stewardship of Public Funds: Khazanah is a sovereign wealth fund backed by public resources, intended to yield long-term benefits for the Malaysian people. When investments fall short, particularly in volatile or experimental sectors like fashion, the leaders should demonstrate accountability. Rewarding high salaries amidst such losses can erode public trust.
3. Questionable Industry Decision: Fashion is a high-risk sector, with rapid cycles and intense competition, requiring deep sector knowledge. The leadership team must bear responsibility if they failed to adequately assess these risks or ignored expert advice. A strategy that disregards well-known market risks suggests poor judgment or negligence, which should lead to repercussions, not rewards.
4. Setting a Standard for Governance: Good governance requires consequences for missteps. Khazanah’s compensation structure should be merit-based, rewarding success and penalizing failures to align leadership incentives with performance. Top 1% income without corresponding outcomes contradicts best practices in governance and undermines the integrity of Malaysia’s financial institutions.
5. Public Sector vs. Private Sector Accountability: Unlike the private sector, where market forces discipline failure through loss of profits or jobs, public institutions like Khazanah must demonstrate higher accountability standards to justify their use of taxpayer funds. Continuing to reward the top brass in the face of missteps establishes a dangerous precedent and suggests that poor performance lacks consequences.
The failure of the fashion investment should act as a wake-up call, driving the board to implement a performance-linked evaluation for executive pay. Khazanah's top leadership must face consequences—not rewards—if public trust in its management and investments is to be maintained.

While both flags symbolize connections beyond Malaysia’s borders, the Palestinian flag’s display carries more weight in terms of political risk, public perception, and potential legal consequences. These factors make it a more hazardous symbol in terms of public safety, national cohesion, and diplomatic relations, especially when compared to the Chinese flag.

Public support for Palestine in highly visible ways can occasionally lead to societal tensions, affecting local businesses or creating an environment of hostility for communities with diverse backgrounds and allegiances. This atmosphere can be potentially harmful, especially in a multicultural setting like Malaysia, where such displays may inadvertently alienate certain groups. The Chinese flag, associated more with trade and established diplomacy, doesn’t usually provoke these tensions or raise concerns of communal strain.

The display of the Palestinian flag can occasionally intersect with laws pertaining to public order and national security, especially if it’s associated with rallies or events perceived as “politically charged.” This could increase the likelihood of legal action, where authorities might see the display as an act that disrupts national peace or public safety. On the other hand, the Chinese flag lacks this association with grassroots political protest and typically doesn’t provoke such responses.

The Palestinian cause, while receiving support on certain platforms, is controversial in the context of Malaysia’s foreign policy balance. Open displays of the Palestinian flag could be interpreted by other countries as a form of alignment that may impact Malaysia’s neutral diplomatic stance, especially with nations aligned differently on the issue. The Chinese flag, representing an official state recognized by Malaysia, does not trigger the same diplomatic concerns or risks of foreign backlash.

The issue of Palestine, while supported by some groups, is polarizing. Displaying the Palestinian flag can inadvertently stoke divisions or create perceived alignment with radical positions, which may cause backlash or hostility from segments of society that view it as antagonistic. In contrast, the Chinese flag typically doesn’t carry the same implications of inter-community conflict within Malaysia, as it represents an economic and diplomatic partner rather than a direct cause for ideological contention.
1 month ago | Report Abuse
Displaying the Palestinian flag is often viewed as an implicit support for the Palestinian cause. Given the heightened geopolitical tensions surrounding the issue, such a display can attract unwanted attention from authorities concerned with potential radicalization, support for external conflicts, or affiliations with organizations deemed as security threats. Meanwhile, the Chinese flag, representing an established and diplomatically engaged nation, is less likely to evoke such concerns in a governmental or security context.

Support for Najis amid his legal convictions undermines public welfare, questions the monarchy’s role, jeopardizes the country’s integrity, and subverts Malaysia’s fundamental values. By aligning with him, supporters are not merely standing by an individual but are, in effect, betraying the principles of justice, unity, and integrity that form the foundation of Malaysia’s society.

Wealth inequality refers to the unequal distribution of assets (such as real estate, stocks, businesses) across a population. The top 1% holding an enormous share of wealth signifies that the remaining 99% of people have very limited access to wealth-generating resources.
