Corruption
With less than 6 months since the Pakatan Harapan coalition won stunningly the 14th general election on May 9th, the new government’s “Budget 2019” presented on Friday was equally stunning. Considering they have only a short time to investigate, discover, expose and recover every penny available after looted by the previous government, they have indeed […]
... written on Nov 05 2018Goldman Sachs, the 149-year-old American investment bank, raised nearly US$6.5 billion in three bond sales between 2012 and 2013 for 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad). More than US$2.5 billion raised from these bonds was misappropriated by high-level 1MDB officials, their relatives and associates, according to U.S. Department of Justice civil lawsuits filed in a U.S. court […]
... written on Nov 02 2018Tommy Thomas was initially rejected as Malaysia’s next Attorney General when Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad proposed his name. Even the “Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V (the King)” disagreed with the appointment of the senior lawyer as the country’s top legal adviser. The excuse – not only he isn’t a Malay-Muslim but an ethnic-Indian, he […]
... written on Oct 31 2018The interview started with a warm-up question – why did the people of Malaysia decide they wanted a change after 6-decade under Barisan Nasional government. Najib responded by claiming that his regime lost because of first, false promises by the opposition and second, propaganda war unleashed. Perhaps Najib thought Mary Ann Jolley would move on […]
... written on Oct 29 2018Najib Razak appears to be a step closer to spending years in prison. The ex-prime minister has consistently denied any wrongdoing since the 1MDB scandal erupted in 2015. He has claimed the US$681 million (popularly known by Malaysians as RM2.6 billion) deposited in his personal bank account were a donation from a Saudi royal, refuting […]
... written on Oct 27 2018Former premier Najib Razak and former Treasury secretary-general Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah were jointly charged with six counts of Criminal Breach of Trust (CBT) involving government funds worth RM6.6 billion yesterday.

... written on Oct 26 2018We know Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was a thug. Not only the Java-migrant was a gangster, he was also a bloody coward mugger. That explains why his family, obviously terrified and panicked after being slapped with 45 charges, had resorted to coaching his own 9-year-old granddaughter Sofee to unleash threats against Mahathir government for locking up […]
... written on Oct 24 2018Hishammuddin Hussein, the cousin of disgraced ex-premier Najib Razak, has been keeping a low profile since the corrupt Barisan Nasional government he was part of lost its power in May polls. While his colleague, ex-deputy PM Zahid Hamidi, eagerly wanted the UMNO presidency, Mr. Hishammuddin cleverly took the path of leaving the party – quietly […]
... written on Oct 23 2018Armed with 49 seats in parliament and 4-million votes in the May 9th general election, UMNO should theoretically be a force to be reckoned with. Although the Malay Nationalist party had lost its power for the first time in 61 years, it has nevertheless become the biggest opposition party. UMNO could actually give the new […]
... written on Oct 22 2018Zahid has finally been charged with multiple criminal breach of trust (CBT), abuse of power and money laundering, and he is already looking at 45 charges altogether.
