Malaysia's former prime minister will be sent to prison for his role in the multi-billion-dollar 1MDB scandal after a court in Kuala Lumpur rejected his final appeal on Tuesday.
Najib Razak, who served as Malaysia's PM from 2009 to 2018, was found guilty of money laundering, abuse of power and other charges in 2020. He will now begin a 12-year jail sentence. Najib has consistently denied wrongdoing but his final route to appeal was rejected Tuesday by a five-judge panel at Malaysia's High Court.


What is taking the US so long?

Malaysia has has put every ex-Prime Minister in jail, except the untouchable Mahathir, for decades.

When Amwar Ibrahim couldn't be convicted of corruption, they jailed him for sodomy.

Politically-motivated criminal prosecutions in the trademark of their state.

What is taking the US so long?

It's taken us so long because 1, Biden is not yet an "ex-President", and 2, we haven't started the trial yet.

Be patient. All things come to those who wait.

Wow. I was in KL not long ago. They always seem so civilized.

Does their 'leader' stammer and shit his pants too?

Malaysia did not put past PM's in prison.

Not Tunku Abdul Rahman
Not Tun Abdul Razak

Anwar was not a past PM
