(finger) is the smash hit from Zedd and Maren Morris currently dominating the US charts.
Wikipedia, has indeed shocked Malaysia and Malaysians by stating that Jho Low is a Tan Sri.
Read Below, what Wikipedia has to say :
Tan Sri Low Taek Jho (Chinese: 刘特佐; pinyin: Liú Tèzuǒ; Sidney Lau: Lau4 Dak1Joh3), often called Jho Low, is a Malaysian financier and the beneficiary of numerous discretionary trust assets said by the US Government to originate from payments out of the Malaysian 1MDB fund.
Is the smash hit by Bad Wolves, which has blown the rock charts.
Sharil Hamdan, an UMNO exco member has written an opinion piece on Malaysiakini, about Dr Mahathir Mohammed.
I wonder, when NST will allow the Pakatan Harapan boss to have his opinion piece published. ZOMBIE, like NEVER.
Anyway, Rockybru feels that it's a great article. ZOMBIE, more like it...no mention about the billions stolen, 1MDB, GST or JHO LOW.
Sharil Hamdan is the ZOMBIE of the month.

Umno's Letter to The Editor of Malaysiakini you ought to read
Here's why the unpolished gems in Umno should be allowed to come out more often to air their views. This letter to the editor published by the Malaysiakini penned by Shahril Hamdan is an excellent read, someone who does not care much for Umno told me. I blogged about the 31-year old exco member of Umno Youth once (The day Syed Saddiq made a name for his opponent, Sept 2017). Dira Abu Zahar is the other "star" in Puteri Umno who came out, seemingly out of nowhere, to shine.
There are more, if BN chairman Najib Razak is interested to field younger candidates at the GE14. But quite a number of the old ones don't want to go ...
Is the lead track from the album of the same name by Meat Loaf. The 1978 album has spent more than 520 weeks on the British charts.
Hence, you can't really say it's an ever green, as the album is still on the UK charts, just like Xavier Justo, the swiss banker, is still fresh on the minds of those who keenly follow the 1MDB scandal.
Justo who spend jail time in Thailand, is back like a bat out of hell, increasing pressure for Najib Razak to do something about Jho Low.
Malaysiakini has the story on Justo Xavier, and his first major interview after serving his time in prison.
Read below :
Former PetroSaudi International executive Xavier Justo has broken his silence and accused his former employer of manipulating the media to tarnish his reputation, the Swiss daily Le Temps reports.
At a press conference in Zurich yesterday, Justo announced that he had filed a complaint with the Swiss Attorney-General’s Office against two PetroSaudi executives, Tarek Obaid and Patrick Mahony, for threats, blackmail, extortion and coercion, among other grievances.
Justo also reportedly revealed emails that reportedly showed a Geneva-based "reputation management" company, KBSD, was engaged by PetroSaudi to allegedly disseminate the narrative that Justo was not a whistleblower, but an extortionist motivated by profit.
Is the smash hit from Dua Lipa. Malaysian Insight has the story. Read below :
THE ringgit is expected to rise to 3.80 against the US dollar in the near term, said Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Najib, who is also finance minister, said his optimism is due to several positive economic indicators, like the nation's strong performance and export value of more than RM80 billion in the first quarter of the year.
"Our currency yesterday dropped slightly to 3.90 from 3.89 (against the US dollar). Insyaallah, in the near term, it may rise to 3.80.
“In terms of currency value, ours is among the best-performing currencies. Several months ago, the ringgit had weakened to 4.49. But it will surge to 3.80 soon," he said at the Prime Minister’s Budget 2018 with People and Civil Servants programme in Ipoh today.
DUA LIPA : I Don't Give A Fuck (IDGAF)
Is the massive massive hit for survivor. Taken from the sound track of Rocky, the song is all about beating the odds with a BANG.
At 92, Mahathir Mohammed is the hell rider out to bring down Najib Razak's Barisan Nasional.
Indeed, Najib has the support of the majority of voters, but this coming election is too close to call.
Rising up like an eye of the tiger is Mahathir Mohammed, a man who knows how to even the odds, against all odds.
Read the report below by Finews :
As embattled Malaysian leader Najib Razak faces snap elections in coming months, the billion-dollar graft scandal surrounding state fund 1MDB threatens to resurface.finews.asia parses the details.
Singapore has shut the book on 1MDB, a scandal which shut down two banks in the city-state and led to charges against private bankers over money-laundering and other crimes. Switzerland, where banks also willingly helped launder money from 1MDB, is conducting criminal proceedings as part of a six-country probe led by American prosecutors.
The U.S. alleges that $4.5 billion was pilfered from 1MDB and used for everything from luxury real estate to a diamond necklace for first lady Rosmah Mansor – or «kleptocracy at its worst,» as U.S. prosecutor Jeff Sessions called it in December.
The only place where the scandal has barely rippled is Malaysia itself, which might have noticed several billion missing from its public purse. Why? Malaysia quashed an auditor's report into the affair, and lawmakers were blocked in court recently from attempting to make its contents public.
Close Race
Nearly two years on from when the scandal first surfaced, Prime Minister Najib Razak is expected to call an election in coming months, which has put 1MDB back into the headlines. Najib enjoys wide popularity, in part because the Malaysian opposition is in such pitiful shape that is has been forced to enlist a former PM – Mahathir Mohamad.
Mahathir is no silver bullet: at 92, he was forced to pledge to serve no longer than two years if elected, and he is hobbled with his own scandal over foreign exchange losses in the 1990s. Nevertheless, the sprightly former PM has managed to unite a fractured opposition along a common goal: ousting Najib. The PM has admitted lapses at 1MDB, but denied he was involved in any wrong-doing.
A poll conducted last month showed a surprisingly close race: 18 percent of voters want Mahathir, while 21 percent support Najib
Is the 2001, smash hit by French electronic duo Daft Punk.
For those, who think that the recent trashing of the stock markets globally is over.
Think again. A man managing more than US100 billion says, a crash will happen in the coming weeks one more time.
Bloomberg has the story. Read below:
If you were planning on putting your money back into stocks, you might want to hold on.
That’s the message from Nader Naeimi of AMP Capital Investors Ltd. who’s still hanging on to the bulk of his cash reserves for another possible selloff by March.
After an initial sharp selloff, equity markets typically have a brief recovery before another bout of sustained selling, said Naeimi, AMP’s head of dynamic markets who helps oversee about $120 billion at the firm. After moving some 30 percent of his assets to cash last year, Naeimi is waiting for that second round to occur before jumping back in.
“The plan is to buy in the second leg down, usually it’s best to wait for the markets to build a base before committing heavily back into the buy side,” Naeimi said in an interviewwith Bloomberg Television. “As we go to the Fed meeting March 9, I think there will be more potential volatility weakness.”
Is the massive hit from Rudimental. These days are indeed painful, as the slump in global stock markets, has been big enough to wipe out the combined GDP of the UK and Canada.
More than US$5.2 trillion worth of capitalisation has been wiped out.
The sad part is, these days are not going to go away soon. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as the market will soon fall into bear territory.
Time has the story, on how much has been lost thus far. Read below :
Major stock market indices may be back up Friday, but the recent correction didn’t come without its pain.
Between the market’s record high on Jan. 26 and when the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 entered correction territory Thursday, global markets (as measured by the S&P Global BMI index) shed $5.2 trillion. That’s according to data from S&P Dow Jones Indices’ Howard Silverblatt. That amount exceeds the gross domestic production of the U.K. and Canada combined. In 2016, Canada’s GDP clocked in at $1.5 trillion, while the U.K.’s came in at $2.7 trillion.
