One day while working on his land, he thought, "I have done everything I could to get a better life. Why can't I change it? Maybe my luck is sleeping in a very far land!

Maybe it'll be more tougher. 3.   No way I can support wrongdoings like forming a sovereignty wealth fund with borrowed money, mismanaged the fund and causing it to loss billions, 1MDB bought government land valued at RM3000 with only RM60psf, Jho Low's involvement in 1MDB's management, money amounting millions of American dollar transferred to Jho Low owned company, Najib's own admission that there is 2.6 billion in his personal bank account, Najib's failure to explain the source of this money, billions of 1MDB money went missing, transferring 1MDB liability to Government. 4.   Maybe, I, too didn't support Najib's wrongdoings by arresting, detaining, charge with wrong act, that is, anti terrorism act that being changed  to so-called  sabotaging economy, sacking A.G and replaced with the A.G who willing to lie and hide behind OSA...
