1MDB IPO

[greengiraffe]

Changes have came in fast and furious.

In a stroke of political genius (or pure survival instinct?), Najib has appointed 4 well respected members of the PAC (Public Account Committee - the ones who come up with all the XXX mil dollar leakages every year in public service) as deputy ministers into his new cabinet. The PAC, made up of 9 BN MPs and 5 opposition MPs, started its inquiry into 1MDB in early May and will have to halt its current proceedings, while waiting for new members to be appointed.

This move is brilliant. It basically kills 3 birds with one stone throw - (1) After maiming the AG, PAC is next. (2) Install 4 loyalists to the PAC to shift its allegiance, (3) Try to buy the allegiance of the current 4 MPs going to his Parliament.

When the dust eventually settles, there will be enough material for many political observers to write a 'How to survive in politics' manual.

Its the people who have been sacrifice in the selfishness (not selflessness) of political survival...
