Scandal
If Najib’s father – Abdul Razak Hussein – is still alive today, he would be 94-year-old. Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad who was indebted to Najib’s father is today 90-year-old. Najib himself is 62-year-old while Mukhriz, Mahathir’s son who is now jobless after lost his Kedah state Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) post, is 51-year-old. […]
... written on Feb 04 2016For the whole year of 2015, the focus was on Najib’s naughty hands caught in the cookie jar but the scope was confined within Malaysia. Only after F.B.I opened investigation papers on the Malaysian prime minister’s stepson Riza Aziz funding over extraordinary real estate purchases and movie production that the scope widened to United States. […]
... written on Feb 02 2016HSBC is still undecided if they should move headquarters to Hong Kong, after months of meeting, brainstorming and consideration. The Europe’s largest lender, however, has decided something for the year 2016 – to freeze hiring and salaries – globally.

... written on Feb 01 2016Ever since the demise of (old and original) UMNO and the creation of UMNO Baru (new UMNO as it is known today) by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad after the 1988 Malaysian Judicial Crisis, the political party has been producing anything but clean and good leaders.

... written on Feb 01 2016Nobody dared bet A.G. 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. After all, it was Najib who offered the 65-year-old retired ex-judge the job. […]
... written on Jan 28 2016Najib Razak self-proclaimed that the RM42 billion scandal involving his pet project 1MDB was over before the unleashing of New Year 2016 fireworks.

That joke is slowly becoming a reality as frustrated Germans have taken to the Facebook, forming “Dusseldorf is Watching” group, and so far has recruited 4,000 members, and counting. Their slogan – “One for All, and All for One”. Their mission – “To Protect Our Ladies Future”. […]
... written on Jan 08 2016If 2014 was the year of Malaysia Airlines where it lost two Boeing 777s, one disappeared while another shot down; the year 2015 is definitely the year of Prime Minister Najib Razak. The prime minister’s multi-billion dollar scandals easily eclipse any other financial scandals one could imagine in the history of the country, including Mahathir’s. […]
... written on Dec 29 2015Christmas is just around the corner and stock markets have already started its yearly window dressing. Now is perhaps the best time for you to take some money off the table, if your portfolio is making good money. However, there’s one very prosperous country in ASEAN which disallows people from celebrating Christmas. Oil-rich Brunei has […]
... written on Dec 23 2015Do you remember what you were doing on June 29, 2006? That was close to 10-year ago and you could probably still schooling.
