Najib and Rosmah ...bigger than Ben Hur!

Ben Hur took nine months to make at a cost of RM70 million - which, even at today's value of RM150 million, is still peanuts to what Najib and Rosmah have cost Malaysia and Malaysians. We are in debt to the tune of RM40 billion because of these two kleptocratic morons.

The conviction of Najib's Razak and Rosmah Mansor has been four years in the making. Great production with an international cast and action in different exotic locations across the globe. Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Hollywood, London, New York, Switzerland, and even Singapore. Sovereign funds and many sovereign governments were involved. Corruption, money laundering, and treasonous acts were done by people who should have known better.

Under Najib's watch, a car repossessor Koong Swee Kwan, 45, was sentenced to death for the murder of Arab-Malaysian Bank (AmBank) Group founder Hussain Ahmad Najadi. A Mongolian lady was murdered by operatives of the Unit Tindakan Khas ...and there were other murders committed for reasons and motives which, to this day, are still murky and mysterious.

For reasons best known to the powers that be, Jho Loh, the acknowledged mastermind who played the prime minister of our nation and a cast of other public officials like a violin, has never been apprehended.

It has been four years in the making, and yet I remember it all as if it was yesterday. ..these are the images that play in my mind as I think of those four years...

This was the first image that dammed Najib and his family as being complicit in stealing billions from our nation's coffers. A family gathering that reeks of evil and greed.

The scope of the scam...

EQUANIMITY

Hollywood

Billions scammed.

The AG cleared Najib of any wrongdoing.

And then Pakatan Harapn came to power at PRU14 and Najib's nemesis became prime minister. Najib Razak and Rosmah Mansor became persons of interest to SPRM and the Judiciary.

Then the arrest of Najib Razak in 2018

And in October 2018 the arrest of Rosmah Mansor. The dye is cast.

Four years for a conviction. Four years that many of us thought would be a waste of time because, after all, Umno was still in power and the prime minister is from Umno. Four years during which we had to endure the bombastic and loud claims of Najib's hot shot that his client was innocent of all the charges and that he and his client welcomed the opportunity to prove their innocence. Four years of BossKu during which Najib strutted his stuff with police outriders escorting his every move. Then we had the Malacca and Johor state elections that Najib claimed as his own, and to all intents and purposes, Najib ruled Umo and our nation as he always did when he was the prime minister...with one minor detail that Najib somehow managed to overlook. ....that Ismail Sabri, not him, was Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Ismail Sabri was bidding his time to make his move to checkmate Najib.

All Ismail Sabri had to do was ...nothing! He did nothing to interfere with the judiciary. He did nothing to meet the wants and dictates of his Umno president, Zahid Hamidi. And he did nothing to hasten the electoral process that Najib had desperately hoped for in the belief that it would bring Umno back to effective government and wrecked asunder what the courts have put together. To all this Ismail Sabri did nothing, and now we await the future without these two loathsome convicted felons.

I believe that the judicial journey for Zahid Hamidi and the Umno court cluster would also be a long and tedious process, but of this, we can be sure. The prosecution has done their homework well and meticulously. If all the Umno court cluster are guilty of the crimes they have been charged with, they will do the time.

And if that takes another four years to happen, I will wait! What about you?
