1. Let's make 1 thing clear. The amount demanded by the Mahathir government was USD 7.5 billion.
2. So how can USD 3.9 billion (actually USD 2.5 billion) be a success?
3. It means the short statement issued by the pm was worth less than the paper it was printed on.
4. It also meant the unelected buffoon at the Finance ministry misled everyone including the PM.
5. For wasn't the USD 1.4 billion the assets returned home by the DOJ?
6. If that is so, then there is. an element of double counting. Any bean counter would recognise this at once!
7. It is also misleading to claim that the deal with Goldman Sachs enabled us avoid costly court appearance, time and money etc. We are willing to pay USD 250 million to recover USD 3 to USD 4 billion. Isn't this a case of penny wise pound foolish statement?
8. Any economist will tell you that you have to spend money to earn money. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
And since when is the pursuit of justice and the recovery of our stolen money free?
9. If it means we can achieve our ends by any means necessary we must do it.
10. And what are our ends? (1) to squeeze blood from stone and (2) to send the bloody crooks to jail which is their rightful place.
11. Yet the Finance Minister seems to trivialise the issue, treating the Goldman deal as an excuse to not go any further.
Hello-people spare no efforts to get as much money. The minister is easily satisfied already.
12. In doing so, the minister appears not only incompetent but manages to make the pm looked like a bloody fool!
13. Getting back USD 2.5b over USD 1.75b is no big deal. The minister failed to mention the fact that the previous elected PH administration, rejected the offer.
14. What the deal did was to help Goldman beat the rap and allowing the financial behemoth to apportion blame to 2 bad-apple employees.
15. In doing so Goldman succeeded in cleansing itself and suckered the Finance Minister silly.
16. But in apportioning blame to the 2 unfortunate employees, Goldman inadvertently confirmed that 1mdb is both fraudulent and corrupt.
17. That admission is a strong reason enough to go on hard on the crooks who perpetrated the heinous 1mdb.
18. The crooks are the same UMNO people who now seemed to have a new lease of life under the corruption friendly administration of Wak Muhyiddin.
19. They are now able to turn calamity to a windfall by
(a) having a reduced settlement for their partner in crime(messrs Goldman) and
(b) the real possibilities of avoiding jail for themselves by orchesrating deals such as this one.
20. Why do I say windfall? Because master dealer Goldman has actually allotted USD 10b for settlement with the slow witted negotiators of Malaysia.
21. So having to pay USD 2.5b is chicken feed for Goldman. They may now even share the allocation with the useful idiots in UMNO. After all they are accustomed to bribing people.
22. A dog usually eats its own shit, if it doesn't, just sniffing it is enough.
23. That's Goldman and the UMNO pariahs for you.
24. They are pariahs not because of extreme poverty or being at the lowest end of the feeding line, but they are untouchables because they are protected by law.
25. Its a windfall for the UMNO crooks, because now it's an established precedent that you only need to return some of the stolen loot and you can avoid jail. Sigh, it seems we have no more brave and virtuous judges. All it seems, is rotten in the state of the judiciary.
26. So malingku is salivating at the prospects of paying back a portion of the 1mdb loot, and he can avoid jail.
27. Under the corruption friendly administration of wak Muhyiddin the jawa Penorogo, the UMNO crooks can ply their trade with wanton abandon.
28. They are particularly active in Sabah, openly trying to bribe the infamous frog MPs of Sabah to cross over to UMNO.
An MP is offered up to rm32million per person. You think that would not rattle the faith? Even the turban will fall off.
29. These going ons invite the usual uproar from righteous people but is dismissed arrogantly by the Malaysian Benedict Arnold, Azmin Ali. The Judas of Jesus's message. The Bayard Rustin of pkr's reformasi
30. But unlike Rustin, never hides his homosexuality while fighting alongside Martin Luther King.
31. Those who decry the unbridled corruption and the judicial machinations are cry babies says sagelike Azmin.
32. They need to tough up or tough it up, like him of course. I supposed to become a turncoat is a virtue to sing about.
33. Its true as Rafidah Aziz quoted, when the law no longer protects the people from the corrupt, but corrupt from the people, the country is going to the dogs.
