Wow, a 36-year old arrested for a 40-year old scam 😂😂😂, wakakaka.
Jokes aside, we can, with some confidence, form the conclusion that no BIG SHOTS will be arrested nor charged, but just the gurkhas (kutu or fleas), and most likely non-JAKIM blokes.
Decades old SOP for "fighting" Corruption is to go for ikan bilis.
ReplyDeleteSomeone mentioned before it's OK, because Malaysians can deal with corruption. No problem.
