Najib explained (lied) 1MDB to US business leaders.

 "Bersatu Bersetia Berkhidmat & Berbodoh Bersama"

Here is what I read from  Salleh Said Keruak blog on his boss's 'brave and good intentions' moves explaining his 'wrongdoings' swindling Malaysian public money.

" In his recent trip to the United States, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak met business leaders during a meeting on business prospects in Malaysia now and in the future where he took questions from them regarding 1MDB.
So the allegation that the Prime Minister refuses to address this issue or explain the matter is not true. During a business luncheon a day earlier, Najib touched on the weakness of the 1MDB business model, which he described as too idealistic.
 Najib explained that only RM1 billion had been invested to undertake a huge property development and RM18 billion for the acquisition of power generation plants, resulting in the company having to go heavily into debt financing.
Najib then told the audience that he is confident that by the end of the year the company would be able to go through the process of rationalisation with a massive reduction of debt. Najib also informed the business leaders that there would be an announcement in the coming days regarding a significant reduction of 1MDB’s debts to the tune of RM16 billion.
Needless to say, none of this was carried by the local news portals, which seem to want to avoid talking about any good news involving 1MDB. "

Bullshits.
No doubt people are calling him ass-licker.
He would licked his bosses ass just to stay where he is now...continuing the legacy of the family; to be in power.

UMNO should change their slogan actually. One that could fit them well especially for those ass-licking cabinet ministers.

It should read -- Bersatu Bersetia Berkhidmat dan Berbodoh Bersama.

Ass-Licker Politicians.

I understand to be in power in any governmental job must be the dream of many individuals especially those with high ambitions.
Although it comes with great responsibility (if they are genuine and doing their job honestly), it can be lucrative too.
Okay, on the lucrative part -- all of us know that government job wont be paying us much compare to private sector. But it can become lucrative when those in power use their authority and power to make more money to themselves and their cronies and family members.

But to stay in power is not easy too.
Especially not when you have a boss that will terminate your position as and when he like. Especially when those having the small fry power trying to challenge the bigger power.

Just like Muhyiddin Yassin, the ex-deputy prime minister of Malaysia which had been sacked by his boss when he is only 'trying' to going against the boss's traffic flow.
He was sacked.
The AG was sacked.
The two level of Bukit Aman was on fire for no apparent reason and it seems nothing important were stored there. Just some old newspaper...yup. Old newspaper and amazingly the fire is so smart enough to know which level to go to and lit up by it self.
That is one of the ass-licking statement most of us somewhat know will be uttered by all those who want to keep their positions and pensions.

Now, talking about being in power and having to hold on to it, is not that easy when you have hanky panky games going on.
And when that hanky panky involves really scrumptious amount of money public money, it widens up eyes of everyone including authorities locally and abroad.

But to back up any hanky panky wrongdoings of a big boss isn't an easy job.
Just like the newly appointed deputy prime minister of Malaysia, Zahid Hamidi on the millions of dollars of money being played around his boss's and playmates accounts.
He said the money is not Malaysian public money, instead the money was given to his boss by some Middle Eastern "King and Prince”.

Yup...right. Sure.Donations.
He must have forgotten about technology.
He must have overlook a lot of other things because he is too busy trying to come out with reasoning to cover his boss's ass for giving him the new position. And nobody said it is easy.
But he wants it.
Now he gotta cook it.
But he cooked the story without knowing how to balance the salt and pepper.

Easy straight question.

Why would it stated partial payment if it was a form of donation and if it was for the cause of the party, why didn't it goes to the party's account?

“Partial payment” rather than donation

Like they always say, cut the bullshit.

Lick-ass ministers Part II

I was so elated reading about this on the treadmill this morning.
Eventhough news (mainsteram) from the homeland says this is not true (in a way) and didn't flash it out as big as The NY Times, I would want to know other than this.

Yes.
At last the lords has spoken.
And as described in the news --  this move was infact 'a rare and explicit intervention in politics, the sultans of nine of Malaysia’s states' . 
According to the news, they have called for a swift and transparent investigation into a political scandal involving Prime Minister Najib Razak, saying his failure to resolve allegations of corruption had created a “crisis of confidence” in the country.

An excerpt;

Malaysia’s central bank and anticorruption officials are investigating whether millions of dollars transferred into Mr. Najib’s accounts came from companies linked to a government fund that Mr. Najib oversees.
The statement by the sultans, who have a largely ceremonial role, was their most direct intervention in politics in recent history. Analysts said it was likely to provide support for the embattled officials who are investigating the scandal and buttress the position of the growing ranks of Mr. Najib’s political opponents.

The national news agency, Bernama circulated a statement mentioning that "the findings of the investigation must be reported comprehensively and in a transparent manner so that the people will be convinced of the sincerity of the government, which shall not at all conceal facts and the truth,” .

And as the issues has never seen any positives interventions from necessary party(s), which indirectly provokes the rakyat's need in knowing what is happening actually; this timely action by the rulers come in a much needed time as people are losing hope and trust in the current government.

However, I'm pretty sure those lick-ass cabinet ministers will definitely find ways and mean trying to buck-up their boss's ass.

We shall wait and see what comes next...
