Good piece to read. On the other hand, it comes as no surprise yet again at the level of insidious greed and corruption amongst upper-echelon Malay-Muslims in Malaysia in spite of so-called reverent claims that their Islam is the best religion in the world, or the only religion in the world, because it teaches its followers "virtues" of the good and pious and honest self like none other. And yet, time and again, what it shows amongst Malaysian Malays-Muslims is their insatiable greed, not just for political power but also for material greed. Political power lays the floor for Malay-Muslims to practise to art of lying (through their teeth), smuggling, racketeering, murdering, stealing, robbing, bullying, heisting, raping, adultery (khalwat-ism), incest, and more corruption-corruption-corruption -- and all of this, as with previous prime ministers, under the very nose of the tenth low-class, balls-less prime minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Even Malaysians have know that, as with the country's police force and its bureaucracy, its military -- all 98-99%% dominated by Malay-Muslims as their exclusive preserve -- has engaged in corrupt practices, from stealing and on-selling military parts and equipment to cutting corners on, for example, littoral combat ship making, corners which are pocketed by those the Malay state condones as very Islamic in its virtue by protecting the criminals or delaying and then killing off investigations and even prosecution in Malaysia's so-called Palace of Justice court system that is as political as the totally corrupt and hideously lazy Malay-dominated bureaucracy at local,state and federal levels. It's so easy to bribe Malaysia's Customs and Immigration and get away with murder. No questions asked.

To all intents and purposes, Malaysia is simply another Third World pariah state of the so-called Global South. Malaysia is Asia's Zimbabwe under Mugabe and now Mnangagwa. It is worse than the Ferdinand Marcos Sr era of corruption coupled with Malay-Muslim religi authoritarianism. It's so shamefully and openly racist, led these days by the corrupt Umno boss Zahid Hamidi who has unleashed his one-screw-loose, racist attack dog, Akmal Salleh, supposedly a doctor (probably of the lowest standard) who defies the idea that Malaysia has a "civilized society" and practices "rule of law". It is is anything but civilized despite its glass towers and fancy highways; it is feudal by nature, through every inkling of its being, and more or less lawless since one can buy justice or the police against indictments.

This is not to suggest there are those in the Chinese and Indian communities who do not behave like the Malay-Muslims. It's just that they haven't yet been caught or even targeted. Question is why. It's also because lawlessness -- in addition to the balls-less Malay state and a cowardly Malay regime -- that Malay-Muslims are so ubiquitous in Malaysia's overflowing corruption crime spree, from petty stuff to big monstrous rackets like the one mentioned in this article. The biggest one is of course the convicted criminal Najib Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor's brazen heist of 1MDB.

Isn't going to mosque every Friday at noon for prayers a complete waste of time, if not 100% hypocritical? Isn't that what Malaysia is -- two-faced that speaks with forked tongues, much like Anwar Ibrahim does in his every waking hour and in his sleep?
