Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak is in the spotlight since investigators traced $700 million linked to the government fund 1MDB to his personal bank accounts. His personal history is intertwined with Malaysia's unique political system. Photo: Olivia Harris/Reuters

Forget about the wolf of wall street. Najib's son should sponsor a movie called "The Wolf of Putrajaya".
I don't know why, I couldn't even listen to his voice. Thank God, he's no longer Malaysian Prime Minister

This guy is two years my junior in secondary school n he has no friends, during recess time he will be standing under a tree alone. He came to school and home in the official government car everyday. My dad lost by one vote to Tengku Abdul Rahman to become the First Prime Minister as my dad is my mentor. Please Google Mustapha Hussain to know more about my dad's political movement towards the declaration of Malaya Independence, it was short of 48 hours because the Japanese surrender after the two nuke bombs. I will be 65 yo in July n till today I have never voted as I know it is money politics plus rigging the voting system in various ways. MONEY BUYS EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY POWER N CONTROL IN POLITIC. THIS IS THE TRUTH, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, THANK YOU ALL.

roslan bayu Actually they are starting to make it mandatory in some places like Australia. I think it's crazy and I think they are doing this because they're noticing that people are starting to think that voting, politics and politicians are nonsense and complete scam even to begin with - so they are trying to enforce this to "normalize" voting and legitimize the existance of themselves. If it becomes a policy in my country also I will hide (or play extremely dumb; make it as expensive for them as possible to deal with this). Yeah, tax is theft; it just cannot be justified or explained as a morally correct or good thing. I.e. if govt actually had good services and products people would glably pay as they go already á la carte. .....anyway, good luck and thanks for sharing your comment also.

+lnostdal My friend, in politic to day, the party that has the most money to throw around has very high chances to getting majority votes. Money buys power n control . Taxes is ok as it goes to nation building but the percentage has to be reasonable. I am 65 yo, retired n I am free from tax n loans, thank God for the peace of mind as far as money is concerned. Totally not on usury anymore . Thank you with best wishes.
Despite all that he has done, najib is still holding on to power since 2009.

How can Dato' Seri Najib be prosecuted if the investigation has not been completed? Judge Nazlan has a conflict of interest when judging the trial. He used to work with Maybank and was involved in SRC affairs. The two main witnesses, Jho Low and Nik Faisal, were not brought to court by the prosecution.
Najib: In a recent article published by TIMES, they have listed the top 5 country which was said to be most corrupt. Among the list was Brazil, South Africa, China, Russia and of course, our very own Malaysia truly Asia. Malaysia was listed at the second spot of world corruption, behind Brazil. That's something I am proud of, cos we are not the first spot.

I'm so sad that they actually feel happy just by getting a free trip to Makkah. It's actually a sin to let him stay in the office, because he has caused a lot of issues and we're losing democracy!
najib should be locked up and be treated at criminal , how dare him to act as if nothing happened. this piece of crap is a disgrace to the country.
Why all politics in South Asia are so corrupted? It's another level.
He lost, he lost this year . All the Malaysians are happy
I don't like najib even one bit, but I feel kind of bad for him. With all that hate he probably feels like killing himself.

Malaysia is a secular country. Islam is the official religion. Both are correct! What's with the big fuss? Why bring up the fact that a Malaysian does not belong to his/her home country? What relevance has this to the whole issue? We are all Malaysians by nationality and therefore we ALL belong in Malaysia. Also, we are all EQUAL in status whether you personally believe your race is "supreme" (i did not specify). It does not matter where our ancestors are from (Chinese from China. Malays from North Thailand, Indians from India, Orang Asli from Malaysia). I hope that is clear. Any objections, dear fellow Malaysians?

You help me i help u. Cash is king!

This will be more interesting to watch after yesterday's election. Najib's regime is now finally over.
good video. nice editing
How are you going to fight corruption when you are corrupted yourself?
......And now 3 years after the publishing of this video, Najob and BN have been given a historical as of May 9 2018. Gratz too all true Malaysians who have made history. This is your time.
it has come to Malaysians attention now that everytime najib announce something, most of us tend not to believe it. the reason is very obvious.
The fall of Malaysian 1st PM The Tunku in 1969 instigated primarily by Dr Mahathir led to DPM Tun Razak becoming the 2nd PM who then began implementing the 5yr Development Plan policies giving Preferential/Special Privileges to the main ethnic Bumiputra/Malay group who are mostly Muslims. It's Dr Mahathir too in retirement who orchestrated elevation of Najib Razak as Malaysian PM in 2009 and Dr Mahathir as well who got together an unlikely coalition of opposing political parties to defeat the ruling Malaysian Government led by PM Najib Razak at the 2018 General Elections. During the recent 15th Parliamentary General Election Dr Mahathir's GTA lost not only seats contested but their cash Deposits for the contests it's basically Dr Mahathir's political manoeuvres towards race based policies of Malaysian Govt led by Tun Razak the 2nd PM beginning 1970 that's being blamed for Endemic Corruption in Malaysian Civil Service.
Its the system that allows whatever u are seeing now. Najib's exit will NOT change much. Its easy to push all the blame to just one person and think the replacement will fix everything. Look at the party, look at the institutions, look at the people around you and even your ownself. If you think the problem is so simply resolved, you are ignorant. Some people who are playing "hero", "victim" or "critic" here is not a true savior or angel themselves. Unfortunately, there are too many greedy, prejudice, ignorant and stupid people in Malaysia. Politics are dirty, so said one former DPM. Quo Vadis Malaysia?
Dear Najib Razak, please RESIGN!
Left Msia for Australia to study, no prizes for guessing why
Money is everything for his wife and him Now he has to pay for his greed In Sungei Buloh!!!! More politicians should be investigated At the end only the rakyat suffer!
What an insult to his own legacy
And.....he's GONE!!!
He makes enough news to grip us and will continue to do so even after he's been freed.
One thing I've got to say about Malaysian politics: their leaders sure can wear a mean hat(literally)!
So.. 1mdb borrowed huge2 sum of $$$ to send pilgrims to Mecca with extras but burdened the whole nation with debts for eternity!
najib the worst PM ever..billions of ringgit lost.. shame on u...
Malaysia Not Muslim Country , is only Malaya = Muslim Country , but not Sarawak
you bribe me and i bribe you
A lot of bull here, Malaysia is not a moderate Muslim country; and like its neighbour Indonesia, it is very divided, divided by race, religion, and culture. It is too obvious to anyone living there. Have you noticed the Malays, Chinese and Indians socializing among themselves or have a meal together in a nice clean restaurant while you are making this documentary ? . Of course, you haven't. It would be extraordinary indeed, that they even talk to each other these days.
Wow look where we are now.

To be fair ,Despite a short time, Najib has created MRT, Pan Borneo Highway, new ports, High speed rail, TN50, billions of investments, cash handouts, low cost housing, new merdeka tower, East Coast RAIL, subsidized hajj, more funding for chinese sch and indian temples, created 2.2 million jobs, digital free trade zone, 5.6% economy growth, highest tourism numbers, Indian blueprint and many more.. This is despite Malaysia surviving 2 MAS Air Disasters and Air-Asia crash all in one year 2014. plus opposition committing economic sabotage of the country. wHAT has the opposition done to improve the lives of Malaysians apart from instigating the rakyat to hate the govt?
Saya difahamkan bahawa pihak pendakwaan telah melepasi had masa yang dibenarkan untuk failkan petisyen untuk merayu keputusan mahkamah tinggi untuk lepaskan dan bebaskan Najib bagi kes laporan audit 1MDB. Ini bermaksud ianya satu kemungkinan besar bahawa kes 1MDB audit Najib telah digugurkan. Walaupun satu kes jenayah telah digugur, Najib masih menghadapi tiga lagi kes jenayah (1MDB-Tanore, 1MDB-IPIC dan SRC 2.0) serta 4 lagi saman sivil kerajaan terhadap Najib. Kes laporan audit 1MDB ini adalah sangat pelik sebab Najib didakwa mengarahkan laporan audit dipinda untuk elak dikenakan tindakan demi menyelamatkan diri. Tetapi apa yang didedahkan dalam mahkamah selepas perbicaraan 4 tahun pula ialah: 1. Hanya empat ayat dalam keseluruhan laporan audit dipinda. 2. Keempat-empat pindaan itu adalah sangat minor, tidak signifikan dan tidak memberi apa-apa kesan kepada Najib, seperti apa yang Hakim putuskan. 3. Tiada sebarang bukti bahawa Najib pernah arahkan laporan audit dipinda malah ketua audit negara berkali-kali kata sebelum Najib didakwa dan ketika memberi keterangan dalam mahkamah bahawa Najib tidak pernah arahkan laporan dipinda dan sebarang pindaan tidak memberi impak kepada laporan tersebut. Biarpun itu, Najib juga didakwa dengan kadar amat laju oleh kerajaan Mahathir dan Tommy sebab mereka mahu membina persepsi bahawa Najib bersungguh-sungguh untuk sorok kebenaran sebab dia sangat bersalah dalam kes 1MDB. Itu adalah matlamat mereka. Sebagaimana memo dalaman AGC bagi kes 1MDB-IPIC telah terbocor dan berkata tiada sebarang bukti bahawa Najib telah melakukan kesalahan, saya juga sangat ingin baca memo dalaman mereka bagi kes 1MDB Audit. Tetapi perbicaraan kes laporan audit 1MDB pula telah membuktikan bahawa Najib tidak pernah cuba sorok kebenaran berhubung 1MDB.

Nobody has an answer why Najib would assume the position of Executive Chairman of the company, Trengganu Investment Authority in 2008 and just after 1 yr in 2009, the auditor reported a loss of RM$9bil.
Meanwhile in 2019.
And now he is in jail for 12 year
