This is obviously a revenge payback time by UMNO. A matter of time before rest of key PH members being hauled to court for dubious corruption charges instigated by those bastard UMNO scums.

Malaysian politician taking is normal business.
But I think No one can win Najib and Rosman when we compare the value they took.
If Najib and Rosman can survive then what is Lim's case??
