Some thoughts on Daim

For decades now we've heard from Anwar and his sycophants of the evils of men like Mahathir and Daim. Insinuations were thrown out in the open that these people had plundered the country's riches to line up their own pockets. But until now, apart from some poorly made lists that have been so pixelated from being re-shared again and again from the Yahoo mail days that they could be hardly read.

Today they dragged Daim to court (29/1/2024). It's a sad sight seeing the poor old man being wheeled into the car and he looked very frail especially since he's lost an eye to infection. He's definitely seen better days, the days when he rose from a kampung boy in Kedah to a fairly successful businessman making fortunes from Maluri. His success, rare among the Malays that time, got the attention of the UMNO leadership who brought him into their fold to serve as the finance minister.

The dumb PH supporters, showing total lack of manners and sympathy seemed to be enjoying the sight very much. They cheered to see a weak and physically failing old man being 'brought to justice' for 'crimes' that I bet none of these corrupted souls even know of. The charge read out against Daim was a failure to declare his assets to SPRM. It'd have been ironic if not for the flagrant hypocrisy on the government's part that the head of SPRM is Azam Baki, who not long ago was mired in his kerfuffle regarding his assets that PH made it an election campaign promise to go after him if they won the election. They did win the election but didn't keep the promise; a theme that by now has been completely synonymous with this cheating, manipulating lot that is the Malaysian government of the day. Instead, they keep Azam Baki to be their hatchet man at their disposal, primarily used to settle old scores. Mahathir and his sons, Daim, and a lot more are probably being threatened at the moment to either switch their allegiances or face the same fate.

The questions I'm wondering are very simple: a) Which public money that Daim stole? b) How much and when?

And yet, until today, we don't know the answers to the above, apart from the revelation in the Pandora Papers, which listed a few other Malaysians, 2 of them happen to be a sitting DPM and Minister. 

But sure, Daim is the biggest evil known to man and must be sent to the firing squad.
