Three shocks from the Opposition in Parliament during the 2019 Budget presentation
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak, Parliament on Saturday, 3 November 2018
I was wrong yesterday, I thought there would be an empty seat next to the Parliamentary Opposition Leader, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi, during the presentation of the 2019 Budget in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday as a day earlier, the United States Department of Justice had finally indicted fugitive financier Jho Loh and a former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner had pleaded guilty to 1MDB corruption and money-laundering charges.
Jho Low was charged in the federal court at the Eastern District of New York for conspiring to launder billions of dollars embezzled from 1MDB.
Low and former Goldman Sachs banker Ng Chong Hwa, also known as Roger Ng, were also charged with conspiring to violate Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) to paying bribes to Malaysian and Abu Dhabi officials. Read the rest of this entry »
Can Najib continue to pretend that there is no such thing as the 1MDB scandal after the 1MDB criminal indictments in the US court, with Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner pleading guilty to corruption and money-laundering charges

Can former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak continue to pretend that there is no such thing as the 1MDB scandal after the 1MDB criminal charges by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) against fugitive financier Jho Low, with former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner pleading guilty to 1MDB corruption and money-laundering charges?
Jho Low was charged in the federal court at the Eastern District of New York for conspiring to launder billions of dollars embezzled from 1MDB.
Low and former Goldman Sachs banker Ng Chong Hwa, also known as Roger Ng, were also charged with conspiring to violate Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) to paying bribes to Malaysian and Abu Dhabi officials.
Another former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner had pleaded guilty to two charges of conspiring to launder money and conspiring to violate the FCPA by paying bribes to various Malaysian and Abu Dhabi officials, and forfeited US$43.7 million as a result of the crimes.
My first thought at the news in the United States was what would have happened if UMNO/Barisan Nasional had won the 14th General Election and Najib had not been toppled as Prime Minister on May 9, 2018. Read the rest of this entry »
Did Najib ever cry for Malaysia?
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak on Thursday, 1 November 2018
“When the new coalition under Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad reached 112 seats, we couldn’t help it. Both of us cried.”
This was said by a foreigner, former Swiss banker Xavier Justo when describing in an interview with Star what he and his wife, Laura, felt faraway in Switzerland on the historic night of the 14th Malaysian General Election on May 9, 2018.
The Swiss couple was not the only ones who cried that night.
Many Malaysians, inside and outside the country, cried that night – not out of anger, despair and hopelessness but because of disbelief, relief and hope that there is now a chance to save Malaysia.
These were the true patriots of Malaysia! Read the rest of this entry »
The ghost of Altantunya will continue to haunt Najib and Malaysia until there is a full and satisfactory investigation as to the motive for the heinous murder of the Mongolian murder and the real murderers brought to justice
Posted by Kit in Najib Razak on Wednesday, 31 October 2018
When the heinous murder and the mysterious disappearance of Saudi Arabian journalist, Jamal Kashoggi in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul hit the world headlines early this month, the first person I thought of was Altantnya Shaariibuu, who was murdered and whose remains destroyed with C4 explosives in Shah Alam on Oct. 16 twelve years ago.
The ghost of Altantunya Shaariibuu will continue to haunt former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Malaysia until there is a full and satisfactory investigation as to the motive for the heinous murder of the Mongolian murder and the real murders brought to justice.

Is Najib prepared to spare the country from further pain, agonies and sufferings and come out with a forthright and straightforward admission of his major role in the 1MDB scandal?
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak on Tuesday, 30 October 2018
The last five days must have been Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s worst five days in his entire life, which collectively should be worse than his darkest day of May 9, 2018 when he was toppled as the sixth Prime Minister of Malaysia and sent into the political wilderness.
On Friday, October 26, 2018, Najib’s house of cards propping up his claim that the international 1MDB corruption and money-launderintg scandal was fake news and a concocted internatuional conspiracy by his political enemie to topple him from power collapsed when Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel Ahmad Al-Jubeir met the Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and denied that Najib’s infamous RM2.6 billion in his personal bank accounts had come from Riyadh.

MACC and other 1MDB scandal investigators should haul up Najib to question whether, apart from Jho Low and him, there is a third mastermind in the 1MDB scandal as suggested by Najib in the Al Jazeera interview
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak on Monday, 29 October 2018
It is going remain one of the mysteries of Malaysian politics as to why former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak decided to guillotine himself on the 1MDB scandal before a world media in his semi-aborted interview with Al Jazeera.
Najib had intended to vindicate himself as a great Prime Minister with his nine-year achievements and legacy in his interview with Al Jazeera, but at the end-of-the-day he had only succeeded in raising the question that apart from fugitive financier Jho Low and himself as the two masterminds of the international 1MDB corruption and money-laundering scandal, there may be a third “international mastermind” of the 1MDB scandal.
Is there a third mastermind in the 1MDB scandal as suggested by Najib in his interview with Al Jazeera on Saturday? Read the rest of this entry »
Public Accounts Committee should welcome Najib’s semi-aborted interview with Al Jazeera as Najib had opened up on many new leads on the 1MDB scandal and he should be asked to elaborate on them
Posted by Kit in Najib Razak, Parliament on Monday, 29 October 2018
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) which has been directed by Parliament in a special motion to re-investigate the 1MDB scandal should welcome former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s semi-aborted interview with Al Jazeera as Najib had opened up on many new leads on the 1MDB scandal and he should be asked to elaborate on them.

Malaysians must thank Najib for the semi-aborted Al Jazeera interview for it shows why the 14GE decision of May 9, 2018 was right and why we must forge ahead to build a New Malaysia, far away from a rogue democracy, kakistocracy and global kleptocracy

Malaysians must thank Datuk Seri Najib Razak for the semi-aborted Al Jazeera interview for it shows why the historic decision of the 14th General Election of May 9, 2018 to Save Malaysia was right and why Malaysians must forge ahead to build a New Malaysia which is far away from a rogue democracy, kakistocracy and global kleptocracy.
Although Najib staged a walk-out after some 20 minutes of the interview, enough damage had been done and it is no exaggeration to say that Najib had done more damage to himself with his semi-aborted Al Jazeera interview than the visit of the Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister, Abdel Ahmad Al-Jubeir to publicly confess that Najib’s infamous RM2.6 billion in his personal bank account had not come from Riyadh.

Najib can walk out of an Al Jazeera interview, but he cannot walk out of the dock when tried for 1MDB charges of corruption, abuse of power and money-laundering unless he opts for the right to silence in his trial
Posted by Kit in Najib Razak on Saturday, 27 October 2018
Former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, can walk out of an Al Jazeera interview to avoid a slew of allegations against him and questions ranging from the 1MDB scandal, the 22-carat pink diamond necklace for his wife Rosmah Mansor to the murders of Altantuyaa Shaaribu, Hussain Najadi and Kevin Morais.
However, he cannot walk out of the dock of a court room when he is tried for scores of 1MDB charges of corruption, abuse of power and money-laundering unless Najib opts to exercise his right to silence in his trial.
Is Najib prepared to state whether he will go into the witness box during his trial not only to state his own case and defence but to be cross-examined by the Deputy Public Prosecutors. Read the rest of this entry »
No Honour among 1MDB thieves
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak on Saturday, 27 October 2018
October 26, 2018 was the day when former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak came in from the cold to brave nasty questions about the 1MDB scandal which he had been avoiding for more than five years since the 13th General Election when he accepted the invitation of Al Jazeera for an interview with its 101 East programme.
But it proved to the day when Najib was “hung up to dry” for on this day, the Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel Ahmad Al-Jubeir met the Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad to deny that Najib Razak’s infamous RM2.6 billion in his personal bank account had come from Riyadh.

Najib stripped naked by the Saudis
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak on Friday, 26 October 2018
It has finally happened – former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak literally stripped naked by the Saudis.
When it was reported midday yesterday that the Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Adel Ahmad Al-Jubeir, who had in 2016 said the RM2.6 billion funds received by then prime minister Najib Abdul Razak was a “genuine donation”, is in Malaysia on a three-day visit and would meet the Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad today, thinking Malaysians are expecting a news report today that the Saudis have officially repudiated the story that the RM2.6 billion in Najib’s personal banking account in 2013 was a donation from the Saudi Arabia royal family.

When mind games go wrong…
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak, UMNO on Friday, 26 October 2018
There were three mind games, which had been defined as psychological tactics used to manipulate or intimidate, which went horribly wrong yesterday.
The first was when the UMNO President and former Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi turned up at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court to provide moral support for former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak , who was slapped with an additional six charges to total 38 charges, just seven short of Zahid’s total of 45 charges on corruption, money-laundering and abuse of power.
He later tweeted a photograph of the two of them seated together and stated that the “relentless attack” against the pair would not break their spirit.
“We will remain steadfast in the struggle.
“This overkill leads to a trust deficit in the government. It greatly benefits the accused. Thank-you for dragging us (to court).” Read the rest of this entry »
Najib Razak – the road from Prime Minister to a troll
Posted by Kit in Najib Razak on Thursday, 25 October 2018
I could not believe my eyes when I read that the former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, was very pleased that he has become a troll – trolling Ministers and Deputy Ministers.
What is a troll?
Wikipedia said that in internet slang, a troll is “a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses and normalizing tangential discussion, whether for the troll’s amusement or a specific gain”.

Is it divinely ordained that former Prime Minister Najib should speak to an empty chamber in Parliament to underline how low he has fallen and how irrelevant to Malaysians he has become?
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak, Parliament on Wednesday, 24 October 2018
Is it divinely ordained that former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak should speak to an empty chamber in Parliament to underline how low he has fallen and how irrelevant he has become to Malaysians?
Such a question would naturally follow from the declaration in Parliament yesterday by the UMNO President and former Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi that the earthquake and tsunami in Palu, Indonesia that killed more than 1,900 people happened because there were over 1,000 people who were involved in LGBT activities.
Malaysians and in fact the world must thank Najib for posting a photograph on his Facebook page showing him delivering a speech in the Dewan Rakyat to rows of empty seats in front of him – which is indeed a rare sight!
In fact, there were several meetings in Parliament going on at the time Najib spoke, including the Public Accounts Committee and two Ministerial briefings on forthcoming parliamentary business. Read the rest of this entry »
Its all too late, as the need to re-open Altantunya murder case is no more a distant thunder but in the very forefront of national consciousness of all policy makers and Malaysians – thanks to Najib himself
Posted by Kit in Najib Razak on Sunday, 14 October 2018
I must congratulate former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak for landing a new occupation – making a cameo appearance in a South Korean television drama as it not easy for a former Prime Minister of Najib’s “stature” to find a new occupation.
But he has probably committed the biggest blunder in his whole life when he tried to be a “hero” on the issue of re-opening of investigation into the mysterious murder of Mongolian model Altantunya Shaariibuu, striking the posture that he would order his assistant to lodge a police report against himself so that the authorities can start investigating if he was involved in several high profile murders while he was in power – which included the Altantunya Shaariibuu murder case.

Will Najib join me in a joint petition to the Prime Minister to re-open investigations into Mongolian Altantunya Shaariibuu? Will he second my motion if I propose in Parliament a re-opening of investigations of the Altantunya murder?

I said on Thursday that former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is guilty of telling lies almost every day.
To my astonishment, Najib immediately complied by telling a lie which I exposed in my statement yesterday.
Last evening, Najib was responsible for another lie when his aide lodged a police report to demand investigations into my claims that several high-profile deaths or murder cases should be reinvestigated. Read the rest of this entry »
How theatrical! When will Najib “order” police report against himself on the 1MDB scandal to establish his innocence?

How theatrical! When will former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak order his assistant to lodge a police report against himself on the 1MDB scandal to establish his innocence?
This will be the thought of many when they read news report of Najib “ordering” a police report against himself, so that the authorities can start investigating and establish his innocence of several high profile murders while he was in power.
I said yesterday that Najib is guilty of telling lies almost every day.
He has told another lie.
He said I have made “repeated calls” to the authorities to re-open investigations into high profile mysterious deaths.
Let me tell Najib that I had only once called for the re-opening of investigations into the high profile mysterious deaths like Altantunya Shaariibuu, Husain Najadi, Kevin Morais and Teoh Boon Hock after the Pakatan Harapan came into power in the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018 – and not “repeated calls”!
Najib’s theatrics remind of two other theatrical events. Read the rest of this entry »
Can Najib explain why he had never expressed any compunction or remorse for transforming Malaysia into a global kleptocracy in his nine years as 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia?
Posted by Kit in Najib Razak on Thursday, 11 October 2018
I read the latest fulminations by Datuk Seri Najib Razak with shock and sadness, that the former occupant of the highest political office in the land could be so devoid of both sense and sensibility that he could indulge in a daily nonsensical verbal diarrhoea agaisnt me, confirming that he has no respect whatsover for for the noble values in life, i.e. truth, justice and honour.
Before the 14th General Election, he indulged in lies, falsehoods and fake news as alleging that when Pakatan Harapan captures power, I will edge out Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad to be the Prime Minister of Malaysia, that the DAP has a Christian agenda to replace Islam with Christianity as the official religion of the country (when I am not even a Christian) and that the Malay monarchical system will be abolished and Malaysia become a republic.
This is the sixth month of the Pakatan Harapan government in Putrajaya, and none of these great lies have come to pass – and they will not come to pass under any Pakatan Harapan government in the future.
Now, after UMNO/BN’s surprising defeat in the 14th General Election, where he was toppled as Malaysia’s sixth Prime Minister – although he had expected to win big and even recapture parliamentary two-thirds majority with gerrymandering of parliamentary constituencies, undemocratic practices and repressive rule – Najib is resorting to comparatively smaller lies against Pakatan Harapan and DAP leaders.
Najib is guilty of telling lies almost every day. Read the rest of this entry »
What do you do when the former Prime Minister writes gibberish? Is this preparatory to a plea of insanity in any subsequent trial?
Posted by Kit in Najib Razak on Wednesday, 10 October 2018
I read former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s continued posting on the death of Teoh Beng Hock with profound shock.
What do you do when the former Prime Minister writes gibberish? Is this preparatory to a plea of insanity in any subsequent trial?
Najib asked why I chose now to say “Najib did not kill Teoh Beng Hock, but the Najib administration must be held responsible for Beng Hock’s death”.
He even wanted the present Pakatan Harapan government to be held responsible for Beng Hock’s death, falling from the 14th Floor of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission premises in Selangor in Shah Alam in July 2009.
Unless Najib returns to sanity and stop uttering gibberish, there is no point in further engagement with him on the issue. Read the rest of this entry »
Najib did not kill Teoh Beng Hock but the Najib government must be held responsible for Beng Hock’s death
Posted by Kit in Najib Razak, Teoh Beng Hock on Tuesday, 9 October 2018
Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak seems to be writing his own statements, which is probably why he is making the most elementary of mistakes which his highly-paid professional propagandists would not make.
Najib alleged that I had claimed that Kevin Morai’s murder was connected to 1MDB.
I have never made such an allegation, and I challenge Najib to quote chapter and verse from any of my statements in the past where I had made such an allegation. Read the rest of this entry »
