It has taken less than a lifetime, mine, to see the Malay race fall from grace to disgrace. From being Tuans to being Banduans.
Less than a lifetime to see Malay leaders being able to do the impossible ....bring together in an inclusive manner, all the people of our nation to proudly call themselves Malaysians...... to the unthinkable, wrecking asunder by race and religion, the very same people into Malays and non-Malays, Muslims and non-Muslims.
Within less than my lifetime, I have also seen many Malays fall by the wayside to pride, greed, lust and envy and in that time too, I have seen Malay leaders do unspeakable things - commit murder and treason.
And if you want to see the worst of what the Malays are capable of doing, you need not go further than what this once, most illustrious of Malay families, have done to themselves and to the Malays.
The head of that family is already convicted of looting a state investment fund out of billions and is now in jail. His wife is now embroiled in an RM60 million lawsuit with a Lebanese jeweller while waiting to serve time for her conviction of seeking and receiving bribes.
How the Najibs have fallen from grace to disgrace!
Three prime ministers in the family, Razak, Hussein and Najib. No other family in Malaysia can claim that lineage.
Today, that family can also, albeit reluctantly, lay claim to having within their bosom, Rosmah Mansor - without doubt, the most infamous of wives of any Malay leader, bar none - who, with relative ease, continues to hold on to the 'infamous' title by her latest attempt to hold on to every cent of her vast, questionable fortunes, that, by her own words, she had claimed to have because she had saved prudently, since youth.
A jeweller has refiled a lawsuit against Rosmah Mansor to recover 43 pieces of jewellery worth RM60 million that they had sent to Rosmah for viewing. Rosmah says that she cannot be held responsible for the loss of the said jewellery as they were taken by the police through a legal operation.
We will have to wait for the court to deliberate the guilt or innocence of Rosmah in this lawsuit, but this much we already know. With all the billions that have been squandered by her husband from 1MDB, surely common sense would dictate that Rosmah find ways and means to settle with the jeweller for the 43 pieces of jewellery worth RM60 million rather than have the matter aired in the public domain, BUT, true to herself, and in between applications to retrieve her passport to allow her to travel abroad, Rosmah Mansor prefers to hang on to every single cent of her ill-gotten wealth that she has accumulated by saving prudently since youth....and if that meant going to court...so be it.
Win or lose in court, Rosmah Mansor is not doing any good to the already sullied reputation of this once mighty Malay family. This woman is one of the reasons why Najib and his Family are where they are now - in the gutter. But what does she care? Vanity, arrogance and greed have been the reason why many scarlet and greedy women have fallen by the wayside. Why not it also be the reason why Rosmah Mansor, too, have fallen? Enough said.
Malaysian version of Macbeth in it's full glory
Lesson to be learned here
Karma NEVER forgets
To be fair, these jewelllers took big risk lending jewellery to possible clients just to make a sale. Our local indian muslim jewellers uses same tactic.
Surely there is a record in their company of the pieces lent to Rosmah which if corroborated with that currently locked by authorities can be retrieved by other legal means as no proof of sale are available.

According to the Transforming Enterprises through Diversity and Inclusion report produced by the United Nations' International Labor Organization (ILO), companies that offer high levels of equality, diversity and inclusion are more innovative, perform better, have a greater ability to attract and retain talent and to ensure people's well-being.
However, the study – which surveyed companies of all sizes in low- and upper-middle-income economies, gathering information from a diverse mix of staff, managers and senior executives – shows that only half of the sample said that diversity and inclusion were sufficiently promoted in their company's corporate culture and strategy.
To make diversity and inclusion…
Totally agreed with you, the MALAY RACE HAS FALLEN from GRACE to DISGRACE and TUAN to BANDUAN. Instead of stating the apparent CONSEQUENCE, WHY HAVE YOU NOT STATE THE ROOT CAUSE??? IN MY OPINION, the ROOT CAUSE of ALL THESE GREED, SELFISHNESS, POLARIZATION AND ISOLATION OF THE MALAY RACE FROM THE REST OF THE OTHER MALAYSIAN COMMUNITIES IS THE KETUANAN MELAYU MENTALITY SEGREGATING THE MALAYS FROM OTHER NON-MALAY, SABAH & SARAWAK MALAYSIAN COMMUNITIES.
ANY RACE OR COMMUNITIES ACCORDED SPECIAL PRIVILEGES, POLARIZED & ISOLATED FROM THE REST OF THEIR NON-MUSLIM COMMUNITIES will definitely POSSESS a SENSE OF SUPERIORITY AND ENTITLEMENTS. SO WHY SHOULD THEY WORKED OR STUDY SO HARD IF THE GOVT SUPPORTS THEM EVEN IF THEY FAILED TWICE.
LET'S BE…
