Budget 2016 Revision – What Najib Razak Doesn’t Want You To Know

Prime Minister Najib Razak, reluctantly, has announced a revised Budget 2016. Clearly, it was a tough job to further decorate the budget so that it doesn’t sound too gloomy.

Apandi would be neutral and professional on Najib Razak’s alleged involvement in 1MDB’s RM42 billion scandal, RM2.6 billion “private donation” or SRC’s RM42 million mysterious money, let alone charge the prime minister with corruption or money laundering.

Najib’s Twin Scandals – It’s Not Over Yet, It’s Just The Beginning

Najib Razak self-proclaimed that the RM42 billion scandal involving his pet project 1MDB was over before the unleashing of New Year 2016 fireworks. So did 1MDB President Arul “Anaconda” Kanda.

Billions In Allocation But Panic & “Surrender” Before ISIS’ Attacks

ISIS is at the doorstep. But the terror group might decide not to attack Malaysia after all. Not because they were afraid of the alleged US$700 million donated by Saudi Arabia which ended in Prime Minister Najib Razak’s personal account for the purpose of fighting ISIS.

Malaysia A Sitting Duck For Terrorism – Why Najib Regime Can’t Handle It

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. Is this a fair statement to the 2 billion Muslim populations on planet Earth?
