COMMENT | I am a Malaysian citizen who was born, bred and educated in Malaysia. Save for two years in England for tertiary education and another 18 months as the UK correspondent of The Sun, I have spent all my life in this country.

Except for a traffic offence (for which I paid a compound fine), I have always been on the right side of the law and my slate is clean.

Therefore, as a citizen, I have to express my anger, disgust and repugnance that the MRT Corp has put a convicted felon above not only me but millions of other right-thinking and law-abiding Malaysians.

The decision to allow Najib Abdul Razak and his family members to be given an early ride to test out the first phase of the Putra MRT from Kwasa Damansara to Kampung Batu yesterday was certainly out of order.

What is so special about the family?...
