Why are Malaysian government leaders, including a Minister, a Deputy Minister and a MP rushing to defend Jho Low and his billion-ringgit superyacht seized in Indonesia last Wednesday when the international noose around the neck of 1MDB scandal getting tighter?

Six days ago, the Wall Street Journal reported that a top Republican fundraiser close to President Donald Trump had asked as much as US$75 million (RM295 million) from Jho Low to get the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) to stop investigating the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
The US business daily broke the news by reviewing a cache of emails from Elliott Broidy, a venture capitalist and a long-time Republican donor, and his wife, Robin Rosenzweig, a lawyer.
“The messages include draft agreements between Ms Rosenzweig’s California law firm and representatives of Mr Low about the possible terms of their business engagement. In one draft, there is a proposal that includes a US$75 million fee if the Justice Department quickly drops its investigation,” the daily said in an online report.
Yesterday, we learnt that Red Granite Pictures, the company that which produced “The Wolf of Wall Street”, had agreed to pay US$60mil (RM234mil) to the US government in order to resolve allegations that it profited from the 1MDB scandal. Read the rest of this entry »
Warning to Communications and Multimedia Deputy Minister Jailani, UMNO/BN fake papers and “quinoa cybertroopers” not to play with fire by spreading fake news that I have criticised and attacked the Yang di Pertuan Agong

I want to give a warning to the Communications and Multimedia Deputy Minister, Datuk Seri Jailani Johari, the UMNO/BN fake papers like Berita Harian and New Straits Times and the army of UMNO/BN “quinoa cybertroopers” not to play with fire and spread false news that I have criticised and attacked the Yang di Pertuan Agong.
I understand that such fake news that I have criticised and attacked the Yang di Pertuan Agong had gone viral this morning.
It all started with the “fake news” published by today’s Berita Harian in the report ‘Kit Siang bersikap biadap, perlekeh titah Agong’, which among other things said:
“KUALA LUMPUR: Ketua Parlimen DAP, Lim Kit Siang, disifatkan sebagai biadab, kerana mengeluarkan kenyataan yang memperlekeh dan menghina titah Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Muhammad V.
“Ia susulan kenyataan Kit Siang ketika sidang media di Parlimen hari ini, yang menyifatkan titah Seri Paduka pada pembukaan Mesyuarat Pertama Penggal Keenam Sidang Parlimen Ke-13 semalam, sebagai ucapan dasar kerajaan pimpinan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
“Malah, Kit Siang yang juga Ahli Parlimen Gelang Patah, secara terbuka menyatakan beliau kecewa dengan titah Yang di-Pertuan Agong itu.
“Timbalan Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia yang juga Ahli Parlimen Hulu Terengganu, Datuk Seri Jailani Johari, menyifatkan kenyataan Kit Siang itu menunjukkan sikapnya yang biadab serta tidak menghormati Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan institusi Diraja.”
Malaysian Parliament confirmed as Parliament of a global kleptocracy as Parliament not prepared to do anything to challenge, purge and cleanse Malaysia of the ignominy, infamy and iniquity of a global kleptocracy

The first working sitting of the sixth meeting of the 13th Parliament has confirmed that the Malaysian Parliament has become a Parliament of a global kleptocracy as Parliament is not prepared to do anything to challenge, purge and cleanse Malaysia of the ignominy, infamy and iniquity of a global kleptocracy for over three years.
Coming at a time when the 1MDB scandal had been delivering bad news by the lorrylooads to Malaysia’s repute and standing, the failure of the Malaysian Parliament to protect the reputation of Malaysia and rebut without equivocation the epithet of Malaysia as a global kleptocracy will go down in history as the most shameful episode of Malaysian Parliament since Merdeka in 1957.
