Goldman Sachs CEO apologises to Malaysian for 1MDB involvement
WHILE some self-proclaimed nasionalis Melayu are busy making police reports against Malaysians who are trying to protect the constitutional monarchs from self-destruction, the kafirs in the decadent West are apologising for the skandal 1MDB.
The Reuters news agency reported that the Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs Group Inc, David Solomon, had on January 16 apologised to the Malaysian people for former banker Tim Leissner’s role in the 1MDB scandal.

This Leissner chap, if you remember, is also a family friend of the former Prime Minister, (Datuk Seri I Mappadulung Daeng Mattimung Karaeng Sandrobone Sultan Abdul Jalil), Mohd Najib Abdul Razak.
The kafir CEO of Goldman Sachs  made the apology despite claiming that the US-based bank had conducted due diligence before every transaction.

It may be possible that the 1MDB loan syndication was not part of "every transaction" scrutinised by the investment bank.
Solomon may have his own reasons for apologising. One of which is the fact that Malaysia is asking his bank to return the US$588-million (about RM2.4 billion) it was paid for arranging the US$6.5-billion (RM23.29 billion) loans back in 2012 and 2013.

Sadly none of the perpetrators at home, including Mohd Najib and his fugitive associate, Jho Low, make any attempt to say sorry or show any remorse for the hardship and shame they caused to the country.
.That being the case, the best option is for them to be given an extended “rest” at Sungai Buloh or any other penal institution belonging to the JPM. No, not the JPM as in the Jabatan Perdana Menteri but Jabatan Penjara Malaysia.

Leissner (extreme left) with his wife, Najib and Azman MokhtarPardon me for using the term kafir which is often used by the nasionalis Melayu and the Islamists to derogatively refer to the non-Muslims.
Sadly, many kafirs themselves make it worse by translating the word as infidel whereas there are many other kinder terms like "rejector", "disbeliever", "unbeliever" and "nonbeliever".

Kafir Is Ok
During my younger days in the rice fields of Kedah back in the 1950s and 60s, being called kafir was nothing. In fact in some cases it was use as a term of endearment.
A Malay person, upon seeing his long lost friend on the other side of the street, would shout at the top of his voice:

“Ooi kapiak (kafir), bila hang balik tak bagi tau aku?
(“Hai there infidel when did you get back without telling me?”)
Now let me be judgemental. These self-proclaimed Malay nationalists, the protectors of the faith and the defender of the realm are nothing more than hypocrites.
If they are genuine Malays and Mukminin (the pious) they should do what their religion tells them to – amar ma’ruf nahi munkar - preaching the good and stopping the bad.
And the Quran doesn’t say that preaching the good and stopping the evil is confined to any particular person or group. Neither the king nor the pauper is exempted. It is all encompassing.
Nationalists Or Hypocrites
Sadly, these self-proclaimed Malay nationalists are very selective in whom to love and to hate, and make no distinction between halal and haram when it comes to self-enrichment.
The 1MDB thievery was totally acceptable for as long as they benefited from it. We must demand that everyone of them be hauled up and made to face the music for taking part in the theft.
On the other hand, if these people are true Malays and pious Muslims they would have acted and behaved exemplarily.
Being Malays they are inculcated with “budi” (courtesy)  and being Muslims they are imbued with “iman” (piety).

Thus an exemplary Malay is one who is “budiman” – courteous and pious.
Sadly for us, as I told a Malaysian Punjabi contractor at the Brickfields food court a few days ago, in spite of nearly all world’s religions and beliefs are practised in our country, corruption and all forms of criminal activities are still rife.
It should make us wonder what good do we derive from zealously promoting and defending our beliefs if we are unable to become good, decent men and women?
Wallahuaklam.
