This has never happened before.
Malaysia singled out in an international forum as the No. 1 rogue nation in the world, with the United States Attorney-General Jeff Sessions condemning 1MDB, the brainchild of the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, as “kleptocracy at its worst” at the Global Forum on Asset Recovery (GFAR) co-organised by the UK and US governments on 4th December DC.
Again, never happened before, news reports of Sessions’ castigation of Malaysia as global kleptocracy completely blacked out by UMNO/BN owned and controlled mainstream media, whether online or printed, in the country – whether the New Straits Times, Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian or The Star.
I shudder to think that if Najib can get away with the 1MDB “kleptocracy at its worst” in the impending 14th General Election, what is there to prevent Malaysia from scaling greater kleptocratic heights after the general election with 2MDB, 3MDB and worse money-laundering scandals which will make 1MDB look like peanuts?
If Najib can get away scot-free from the international multi-billion dollar 1MDB money-laundering scandal, the “wonder boy” of the 1MDB scandal, Penang billionaire Jho Loh may even return to Malaysian shores like a conquering hero to receive a hero’s welcome, although for the past several years, he had become a fugitive from justice cruising from one port-of-all to another in his US$265 million SuperYacht Equanimity, bought from 1MDB funds.
In the 13th General Election, Jho Loh masterminded a special operation against the DAP in Penang and in particular to oust Penang Chief Minister, Lim Guan Eng, from the Air Puteh State Assembly seat, with money flowing ike water in the constituency, with free dinners, free-wheeling angpows and lucky draws costing tens of millions of ringgit in the whole paraphernalia of give-aways to Air Puteh voters.
Would Jho Low operate on a national canvas in the 14GE with money flowing like water to fund gifts and giveaways to the voters of Malaysia to steal the next general election?
If Najib can get away with the 1MDB scandal in the 13th General Election, it would be a double vindication – for Najib and for Jho Loh!
It will be a day of infamy for Malaysia!

It is now apparently a done deal between Najib and Hadi Awang to spoil the opposition vote for Hudud. The Opposition need to step up their campaign on this matter in Sabah and Sarawak – its morally reprehensible that STEALS Sabahan and Sarawakians rights. That is why Najib is going around claming he is championing MA63 because he is in reality stabbing them in the back.
Not only must Sabahan and Sarawakian rights being stolen from under their noise. Its also matter frankly of demanding the Malay Muslims to account for not only such unconstitutional manouvering BUT it literally is NO DIFFERENT THAN EVERY COMPLAIN THE MALAY MUSLIMS HAVE OF OTHERS – from the colonial masters, to the Chinese, to the West, to Christians, Jews etc..
Mat Sabu was right when he formed Amanah, the Malay Muslim are risking their own reputation and that of their religion because of what Hadi’s PAS is doing..

The UMNO scandal-curve is an exponential curve with money plotted against time. Your prophecy will come true: 1MDB is peanuts compared to the coming 2MDB. So far, UMNO has got away with every type of nonsense. They will be tempted to do bigger if they win the elections.

Najb’s friend in the White House just got a highly important beating in Alabama. The result of THIS election points to sweeping changes in the Congress and Senate in mid-term 2018 election which will, at the very least, make Donald Trump a lame duck president possibly EVEN IMPEACH him before.
Why is this important – because the UMNO-PAS playbook is not that different than Trump’s and his base which is the losing end of this wave…The WORLD is going the opposite direction and this country, the Malays and Sarawakian and Sabahan better get with it or be left behind..
