Bersih has cautioned that the guilty verdict against former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak on 25 1MDB-linked charges should not mark the end of the fight against kleptocracy and corruption.

In a statement yesterday, the Bersih steering committee said the High Court decision, as well as an earlier guilty verdict in the SRC case, will mean little if the government fails to act to prevent the emergence of new kleptocrats.
