COMMENT “Malaysians are not stupid!” This came out from one of three Malay gentlemen whom I had a brief conversation with at a local restaurant in Bandar Utama recently.

While I was explaining to my wife about the latest spin to the 1MDB scandal, I overheard a conversation which touched on Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah.

I turned around, and interrupted their conversation briefly. Suddenly, one of them snapped: “He thinks Malaysians are all stupid.” I could only nod in agreement. Since the 1MDB scandal was highlighted by Sarawak Report and the Wall Street Journal , Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his men have been spinning out one story after another.
