They cannot dissociate from that 'colonial' thing.  I just heard that one more crooky ex Minister is building a house in London now. Somewhere to run away to.  UAE, India, Pakistan etc are not good options. Super Moron has a house in London (worth tens of millions of pounds), which has been visited by some other ministers.  But the son of Rosmah and the Chinese guy broke the mould. They bought luxury properties in New York of all places - the home of Preet Bharara Singh Dhaliwal (remembering my old friend Jaspal).  Preet Bharara is the District Attorney in New York.  When it comes to nabbing Third World chicken sh*t thieves who have broken the law in the US, Preet Bharara is quite the bulldog.  These idiots have bought properties in the same neighborhood where the bulldog lives -  New York, Los Angeles, the USA.  Depa punya bodoh. Now, if the stepfather (the Bapa Kemoronan Malaysia) put RM2.6 Billion of songlap money in his private account, and then acknowledged the money, do you think the stepson would have been any cleverer? I dont think so. These guys remind me of the Al Maunah who hijacked those guns in Grik. The Al Maunah stole the guns and went back to their kampong.   One of the Al Maunah guys painted a Land Rover green to make it look like a military jeep. Where did they paint the Land Rover? Behind the Al Maunah guy's own house.  The Police were able to connect the Al Maunah dots in about half an hour. Now this stepfather and stepson have left a trail wider than a hippo's butt.  And the kampong boys in UMNO, at the AGC, at the Police and the latest the moron in Bank Negara really think this is over. The question now is - which of the above mentioned gets arrested first and in which jurisdiction?  It is coming.    Singapore has already got the ball rolling - to save their image as a world financial hub.  They have arrested and charged three people so far.  New York is a world financial centre too. So is Geneva in Switzerland. So is Luxembourg, to a certain extent.   Mommy used to call the Arabs - to no great effect.  But even the Arabs may not pick up the phone anymore.  I think Preet Bharara is a native Punjabi speaker.  Dekat-dekat Bollywood lah.   Chal chal mere sathi, oh mere hathi. (The elephants are my friends).
