... written on Apr 23 2019For years, Najib administration had been rubbishing the Wall Street Journal’s exposure of money laundering in the 1MDB scandal. The former prime minister had also played down the role of his partner-in-crime, Jho Low (full name: Low Taek Jho), in plundering billions from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad sovereign wealth fund. Ironically and amusingly, Najib’s powerful lawyers […]
... written on Apr 19 2019At the rate former Prime Minister Najib Razak and his buddy, PAS Islamist Party President Hadi Awang, spew lie almost on a daily basis, one may wonder if both are trying to outdo each other for the serial liar championship. Of course, it’s quite unfair that Mr. Hadi abused his status as an Islamic religious […]
... written on Apr 13 2019Little did Hadi Awang realize that when he decided to withdraw his defamation suit against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown in January, he was about to open the floodgates of hell.

... written on Apr 07 2019Hypothetically speaking, let’s assume Najib Razak refused to concede defeat after the unexpected results on May 9, 2018. And thanks to the corrupt Election Commission, no official results were announced. So technically, the opposition led by the 93-year-old Mahathir Mohamad did not win the 14th General Election.
