  • "Putrajaya" did nothing. It was the US DOJ who did all the hard work of recovering the assets. Moo is trying to pull a fast one. Next off the hook? All the rest.

  • A sandiwara by the backdoor government to show the feudalistic Malays that proper action has been taken against Riza for his crime when in actuality fact a rotten deal has been agreed with Riza at the expense of the countrys tax payers.

  • It really seem to me all is not lost of your experience as a film producer in view that you can turn around this real life situation and all you need to do is just to pay peanuts, just make sure I don't bump into you as I tell you now a spit on your face serve me well. To the government of PN and Pak Din you are telling the world that its okay to steal from your RAKYAT and if and when you get caught cam always make a deal to safe your skin. To the younger Malaysia this will not be in your history text book but it's a message with clear good example if you want to be a crook by all means be one but just make sure it's a good heist so that you can have a ready made exit prepare for you by the very people who are entrusted to uphold the law of the land.
