In November 2013 Malaysian megafraudster Jho Low used one of the hundreds of millions of dollars he diverted from a Goldman Sachs bond offering to buy Andy Warhol's Round Jackie (1964), at Sotheby's. He then gave it to Swizz Beatz, who turned it over to the Feds in 2020, who auctioned it off in 2021.

Herşeyin üzerime geldiyi o anlarda içime kapandığım zamanlar oluyor.Böyle olduğunda aklıma gelen tek şey O'na olan hayranlığım.Bir insan bir yaşama bu kadar olayı nasıl sığdıra bilir diye dehşete kapılıyorum.O her güldüyünde:"Başardın,kaptan",diyorum içimden ve yeniden hayata tutunuyorum.Başarılı olmak istememin tek nedeni O.Düştüğümde her defasında ayağa kalkmamın nedeni O.

Ne kadar zamanım kaldı,bilmiyorum.Zaten her saniyemi harcamak istediyim insan da O.

Sadece gözlerine bakıb:"Teşekkür ederim,bana bir amaç uğruna yaşamayı öyretdiyin için." söyleyeceyim ana dek yaşamak istiyorum.

Ben bu Adama hiç kimseye/hiç birşeye duymadığım kadar aşk doluyum,anladım.

ありがとうキャプテン💚.

The Story Behind Malaysia's 1MDB

Weekend Listening: My latest podcast is with the Malaysian journalist Leslie Lopez who has released his first book The Siege Within which details the 1MDB scandal and the ramifications that stretched from Kuala Lumpur to Hollywood and New York.

[newsbreak0001]

"Once upon a time, the infamous 1MDB scandal rocked the world, leaving Malaysia in turmoil. But today, there's a glimmer of hope as the US announces the return of $100m in assets linked to the scandal. From Warhol's iconic pop art to a lavish Parisian flat, these treasures will soon be back where they belong. A tale of justice, redemption, and the power of cooperation. #1MDB #Malaysia #Warhol #Monet #JusticeServed"

finally finishing Billion Dollar Whale and it's very funny that the writers went with using people's nicknames so that the story of a man robbing Malaysia of 4.5 billion dollars over the course of seven years frequently involves a guy named "Fat Eric"

I'm generally able to tell truth from lies - Najib

Former Prime Minister Najib Razak testified in his RM2.27 billion 1MDB trial, acknowledging he could generally discern truth from falsehood but admitted to making mistakes when misled. Questioned by Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib, Najib maintained that misinformation or improper presentation of facts could lead to errors in judgment, despite his education and expertise. He reiterated…

Task 2

In this legal analysis, the Communications and Multimedia Act of Malaysia (the Act) for its compliance international human rights standards, in particular those on the right to freedom of expression. This concerned that the Act has been invoked frequently in the recent years to restrict active social media usage in Malaysia. It has been used by law enforcement agencies and the Attorney General of Malaysia to arrest, investigate and charge individuals expressing progressive or dissenting views. At present, a constitutional challenge is being mounted against the Act at the Federal Court. The Act is not the only piece of legislation that is invoked to suppress freedom of expression in Malaysia, in particular online; other laws include the Sedition Act 1948, S114A of the Evidence Act 1950 and the Film Censorship Act 2002. Often, charges are brought jointly under several laws simultaneously. The most prominent cases of prosecutions are lots, but here I would like to focus to a real issue.

• Case of Khalid Ismath who was arrested under Section 233 of the Act in October 2015 for allegedly posting a comment on Facebook. He was charged with 11 alleged offences under the Act and three more charges under the Sedition Act for the same offences. Khalid was subject to several bail conditions including a requirement to report to the nearest police station every 2 weeks, a ban on travel outside of the country and his passport was confiscated by the court. On 29 October Khalid Mohd Ismath was released on bail.

On 13 October 2015, human rights defender Mr Khalid Mohd Ismath was charged with 14 alleged violations for posting ‘offensive’ comments on social media. He is being held in detention since 7 October 2015. Khalid Mohd Ismath has organised several public forums focussing mainly on freedom of expression and religion. For several years he has been actively participating in social protests and using social media to highlight cases of human rights violations and the misuse of power by the enforcement authorities. In 2012, he was arrested several times as a result of his involvement with the Bersih 3.0 rally, which was calling for reforms within the electoral system in Malaysia in order to ensure free and fair elections. It was reported that prior to the Court session police officers tried to coerce his confession by offering Khalid Ismath a chance to speak to his family if he confessed to the alleged crimes. However, the human rights defender pleaded not guilty in all 14 charges. His application for bail was rejected due to alleged risk of Ismath’s absconding. On 9 October 2015, the human rights defender was re-arrested at the end of his three-day remand period at the remand centre in Johor Bharu Selatan. Following his original arrest on 7 October 2015, he was due to be released on 9 October. However, he was kept in detention under the Malaysian Sedition Act (1948). The detention order was issued on the request of police officers who accused him of insulting the Royal Family and the police force through allegedly ‘offensive’ comments on social media in which he had referred to the practice of abuse of power by the police forces.

He was accused of violating the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Act (1998). The police officers confiscated his mobile phone and computer. During his detention, colleagues posted messages of support from his Twitter account.

Conclusion, In February 2016, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) used its powers for the first time to blanket block websites that published content related to Malaysia’s 1MDB scandal. On 25 February 2016, popular online news portal, The ready to provide further assistance in this process. Malaysian Insider (TMI) was blocked by the government. Further, blocking of news sites, like Sarawak Report and Asia Sentinel; the on-going intimidation and lawsuits against media such as Malaysiakini; and the arrest and deportation of two Australian Broadcasting Corporation journalists are part of a worsening crackdown on media freedom. This was also seen during the recent Sarawak state election with the barring of a foreign journalist from UK Channel 4 News, from a post-election press conference attended by the prime minister.
