Poor corporate governance cannot be tolerated and any circumstances, primarily because it is simply unjust full stop, and also because tolerance of poor practices in this area is nearly always detrimental from an economic viewpoint in the long term. Thanks Karen,

I completely agree that economics cannot dictate corporate governance. This seems to be an issue that happens in many countries (sadly).

From what I have heard in the local media, ordinary folks are extremely frustrated about this. It’s not only this particular pardon, but more that business leaders have been getting away with this kind of thing for some time.

I have not heard about this at all. When a government sanctions corruption, it may be expedient but is bound to lead to more serious abuses and dire consequences down the road. Is there a public outcry about this? Would public resistance have any impact?
