  • Slap him with another hundred charges and put him in the slammer for life. He is a traitor to the country. Having been placed in a portfolio which is supposed to ensure the security of the country, he instead profited from it by selling to the highest bidder. His crimes are as serious as his erstwhile boss, the mega-thief Najib.
