Teodorin Obiang, the son of Equatorial Guinea’s president, was given a three-year suspended jail term by a French court for plundering public money from his oil-rich but impoverished west African state to fund a jet-set lifestyle in Paris. Obiang, 48 – the eldest son of president Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo – was also given a suspended fine of €30m for embezzlement, money-laundering, corruption and abuse of trust.
Former Emperor’s Son, Charlemagne Bokassa, 28, now lives homeless on the streets of Paris. Charlemagne wanders aimlessly from metro stations to public parks. Like many others of his kind in the French capital, his is a solitary life. One of his elder half-brothers, Jean-Yves, is in a French jail, having been found in possession of a weapon that had been used in a hold-up.

The tales of the sons of two African despots, is now common fodder of Malays with fabulously wealthy fathers. What is missing for the children of these fabulously wealthy Malays is the comeuppance part when reality finally catches up with them.
Be that as it may, we are already witnessing justice catching up with the source of their wealth - their father. Najib Razak is today, a Convicted Felon. His Hollywood Producer stepson is no longer partying with Hollywood greats.
That son of Azeez is, even as we speak, dining on oysters and smoking Havana cigars. The prime minister fashionista son-in-law is now in big business. These are rich Malay kids with more money that they know how to spend.
The fortunes of these fabulously rich Malays are made by the plundering, pillaging and looting of our nation's coffers. In the taking of this wealth from the public coffers, every conceivable government and public apparatus have been compromised by accomplices eager to partake in these ill-gotten gains. Corruption is now a culture. Corruption is a way of life, and corruption is the lifeblood that keeps Umno alive and well.
Stop the corruption, and we kill Umno.
For now, it seems that only one august institution still stands resolutely in the way of these thieves and robbers. Only one institution seems able to stem the relentless tide of corruption and abuse of public office.
Which institution is this?
The Malaysian Judiciary under Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat. The nation is grateful that the Malaysian Judiciary, under her leadership, is up to the task at hand.
But the Malaysian Judiciary cannot exist in isolation. It must have the AG's office, SPRM, PDRM and the various authorities working together with it in order for Justice to prevail. You and I know that given the state of our nation today, the AG's office, SPRM, PDRM and the various authorities are all, in various degrees, compromised.
All that now stands between total anarchy and the state capture of our beloved Malaysia by these corrupt politicians, is the Malaysian Judiciary and us, the Rakyats. Think about this, my friends, and ask yourselves what you can do to ensure that we can triumph over this pathetic, worthless and corrupted herd of politicians.
In the past, we have seen Umno work tirelessly at 'managing elections' to ensure their electoral victory. Umno moved the population en masse to ensure that Malays (who will vote Umno) will outnumber the others. Umno moved electoral boundaries to advantage Umno. And the presence of a formidable electoral machinery was deft at ensuring that race and religion was used to move the Malays to their advantage.
But, PRU14 was Umno's death knell. They lost. Since then, there has been only one matalamat for those in Umno. Making money while the sun shine, for they know that the sun is setting on the once formidable Umno.
Today, all that Umno has, to move their electoral machinery, is C A S H.
And after PRU14, do you think any UMNO warlord, any UMNO wannabe leaders, are prepared to 'invest' their C A S H in PRU15? Invest their C A S H in an election where, in all probability, Umno will lose?
Not bloody likely.
They will keep their money rather than spend it on Umno...thank you very much! Those who can keep their money and stay out of jail to spend it, will be daft to spend that money on an election that Umno will probably lose. Let that Convicted Felon and the Umno Court Cluster spend their money, for they need a political solution to their problems.
So take heart, my friends. The momentum is with us. The Force is with us. Before Umno is ever given the opportunity to legislate to ensure their electoral victory, before Umno can again use race and religion to win another PRU, and before this Convicted Felon, the Umno Court Cluster and their Corrupt fiends can ever walk the corridors of power again, let us once and for all, finish them off at PRU15.
Enough said!
Agree and UMNO have to build cash reserves now.their warlords aka 'votebank' are waiting.the president of umno was hoping to use 1.)state fund from perak,johor,melaka to raise 2b for their k bahagians to ensure victory.sultan johor spoilt that by putting his own mb.now they go for 2.)tg zafrul as he is mof $$$ and is offering him safe seat.3.)that saving sapura energy bit,less we forget,umno has collected 1bil shares (and more) at average rgt 2 sen a share at the moment.once it hit rgt1.00,they are ready to place out the shares and cash 1b of it! 4.)it does look like Najib befriend the King lately,probably to get him pardoned.Zahid gets PM Ismail to 2nd the motion on amending their constitution…
