Riza Aziz walks scot-free
Former premier Najib Razak’s stepson Riza Aziz has, controversially, been given a reprieve of charges brought against him for stealing (allegedly, allegedly!) a whopping amount of cash from 1Malaysia Development Bhd. All he has to do is give back just half the amount, apparently.
In other news, a minister has issued a “stern warning” to those who spread fake and seditious news; the battle of the Bersatu bigwigs continues with a conveniently-timed release of an audio clip featuring Dr Mahathir Mohamad; the Sultan of Kedah will meet with all the state’s assemblypersons to determine who should be MB; more people are set to lose their jobs thanks to Covid-19; and the PM’s own adviser thinks there should be a lockdown for Hari Raya.
