The theory is that if a building has a few broken windows that go unrepaired, vandals will break a few more windows. Fix those windows quickly, and vandals are less likely to break them The bottom line is, fix the problems even when they are small and punish even small fraudulent acts with stiff penalties. Enforcement is where government can take leadership role.
Today there is no-one who has not committed a crime, brave enough to stop this criminal act of stealing from the Rakyat. Since 1984 till today we have become cowards to challenge the wrongdoers.
Today Najib blames Mahathir Kutty for creating opportunity to steal and rob the Rakyat but should not a leader in his position correct all the wrong doings done by the latter. Why shift the blame to someone who is no longer in power.
Since becoming Prime Minister in March 26 2009 till today what has Najib done for the country. The nation has got into deepest and biggest debt, prices for food, utilities etc has shot up, many businesses have shifted to either Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines or close down. Our public transport is in a bloody mess, health care is at its worst, food fraud has shot up, we have given 3 million citizenship to illegal and legal Banglas while 1 million Malaysian born are stateless. We give away 2 million places to Indonesians who were not born here to study in our local schools depriving the Orang Asli from having an education. After two years of flood, many affected families are still living in cardboards and plastic sheets. Where have all the donations and money given by various State Government gone to? Our prime land have been sold to China. Today Petronas, KLCC, KL Tower, Sungei Besi RMAF, The new Puchong line to Sentul Timur belong to China not the Chinese in Malaysia yet not a single Melayu has made a sound.
What happened to those who shout and scream that Malaysia belong to the Malays.
Today the fuck up Red Shirt can bully the Indians, Chinese, Bersih and DAP who are citizens of this country but are coward in attacking China.
No-one from the Royal Household, Bersih, Political Parties and NGOs are demanding to change the governing to TWO TERMS. EACH TERM MUST CHANGE TO 4 INSTEAD OF 5 YEARS. BY DOING THIS, CHARGES CAN BE TAKEN AGAINST THE PREMIER AND HIS CABINET MINISTERS WHEN THEY LEAVE OFFICE. TODAY DINOSAURS STUCK IN POWER SEATS ARE LIVING LAVISHLY WITHOUT CONCERN, EVEN THOSE WHO ARE TERMINALLY ILL ARE STILL HOLDING THEIR POSITION REFUSING TO LET GO.

Matthias Chang and Husam Musa goes after Riza, Low, Goldman Sachs, Timothy Leissner, Christopher Joey McFarland, Red Granite Pictures etc etc. Class Action Filed in the United States District Court Southern District of New York.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad's former political secretary Matthias Chang has joined forces with Salor state assemblyperson Husam Musa to file a class action suit in the United States against individuals linked to 1MDB.
The class action suit is seeking damages for the theft of the state investment firm's funds as well as to recover assets acquired using the stolen funds.
It was brought on behalf of the Malaysian citizenry and was filed on Tuesday with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Chang and Husam named Red Granite Pictures, the film production and distribution company's co-founders Christopher Joey McFarland and Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz, who is also Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's stepson, as defendants.
According to the court filing, Chang and Husam claimed the defendants knowingly used funds stolen from 1MDB for their personal benefit, including throwing parties for Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio to curry favour with him.
Also named as defendants were Malaysian billionaire Jho Low and his tax attorney Debra Whelan Johnson as well as her firm Metropolis IX Capital Advisors LLC.
Goldman Sachs Group and its former banker Timothy Leissner were also named.
The plaintiffs alleged these individuals and entities were involved in transactions that aided the theft of 1MDB's funds.
The plaintiffs are seeking relief for the following:
The DOJ in its July 20 suit claimed that at least US$3.5 billion was stolen from 1MDB and moved to forfeit US$1 billion in assets acquired through the stolen money.
However, the latest court action made some new claims including against Red Granite Pictures.
"In November 2012, Red Granite threw a birthday party for Leonardo DiCaprio. Red Granite spent more than one million dollars on alcohol, most of it on US$25,000-a-piece bottles of champagne.
"DiCaprio received something more lasting as well: Marlon Brando's 1955 Academy Award statuette for Brando's performance as Best Actor. Red Granite reportedly purchased the statuette for US$600,000 from a New Jersey dealer.
"Neither the party nor the gift to DiCaprio benefited 1MDB in any way. Rather, defendants gave the gift to curry favour with DiCaprio and burnish their celebrity credentials," read the document.
The filing also noted that Red Granite's office contains rare and valuable Hollywood memorabilia, including a 1927 Metropolis movie poster worth more than US$1 million.
The Hollywood Reporter said Red Granite Pictures declined to comment over the latest suit.
It previously denied knowingly using stolen funds for its productions.
The filing was signed by Louis F Burke and Thomas R Ajamie who are acting as counsel for the plaintiffs.
