LIKE IT OR NOT, NAJIB WINS THIS ROUND

Despite ongoing international probes into 1MDB, it is likely that the Opposition has been outplayed.

The release of the Public Accounts Committee report on the 1MDB scandal has been trumpeted as sweet vindication for our Prime Minister. 

For the better part of the past 12 months, Najib Razak has been judged in the court of public opinion as a dictator, a perpetrator of grand corruption, an accessory to murder and even a coward. There have been videos of football fans belting out songs that call for his resignation, art works depicting him as a clown and even a case of someone screaming a profanity at him as he made his way through a crowd. 

These have all instilled a belligerent mood amongst the rakyat, and the PAC report is not likely to silence his most ardent detractors. However, even with the investigations in Hong Kong, Switzerland, the United States and Singapore continuing, it is likely that the PM has won this round.

2. All four siblings were born in Kuala Lumpur. My father was the Deputy Director (Licensing) RTM. When I was about 10 years old my father was posted to Ipoh and so the whole family moved there. My mother and father lived in Ipoh until they passed away. Before my father’s posting to Ipoh, he had been transferred to Kluang and Malacca for 3 year stints each.

3. I attended the Anderson School in Ipoh until I finished Form 5. After that I was sent to India to do a pre-university course at the Christ College Bangalore. After completing my pre-university course, I attended the University of South Alabama, USA, to pursue a degree in computer Science and Business Management. That was in 1984. I have remained in the USA since.

4. I am now a successful businessman in Hotel investments in the USA and also in IT. I live in Atlanta, USA, and I have one son. I am divorced from my wife.

5. I have always been very close to Kevin, more so than Richard and David. I used to return to Ipoh from time to time from the USA to visit my parents and Kevin. Richard and David lived in Kuala Lumpur. Kevin started off as a Magistrate in Sungai Siput in the 1980’s after he had completed his chambering with a firm of solicitors in Ipoh.
