A Sabah assemblyperson has suggested that Malaysia take a tougher stance on corruption by emulating China’s harsh approach, which includes executing those found guilty. Warisan politician Jamil Hamzah proposed this when asked about potential solutions to corruption in the state during a session at the state assembly on the 15th of April.
KUALA LUMPUR, April 17, 2025: Communist China President Xi Jinping ended yesterday his official visit to Malaysia at the invitation of the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.
Xi was given full state honours and Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister (PMX) Anwar Ibrahim hosted a state dinner in Seri Perdana.

The video clip is now being circulated in WhatsApp and this was one such response to the video clip:
Can’t wait for the responses from religious bigots and racists … will this be the start of changes fo0r the better in Malaysia …
Also, what have they to say about the communist president and his country?
No News Is Bad News also reproduces above a video clip of a Sabah state assemblyman suggesting that Malaysia take a tougher stance on corruption by emulating China’s harsh approach which includes executing those found guilty of graft.
China has been sending the corrupt, especially kleptocrats who steal from the Government (or rakyat dan negara - people and country) to the firing squad.
Perhaps, the death penalty may be too harsh but at least make it mandatory for the corrupt to be jailed for life and all his/her assets to be seized and returned to the Government.
That, at least, should make the corrupt think hard and twice about stealing from the rakyat dan negara.
Who can answer this question: Tiny island republic Singapore is a country with zero natural resources. But Malaysia is blessed with rich natural resourcxes - rubbe, tin ore, oil pal,, etc - since Merdeka (Independence) 1957.
Whatever happened to all the wealth with nothing to show in gold reserves today?

Did consultant Henley & Partners and global wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth overlook Malaysians and Malaysia with hard cash tucked away in “safe houses in Malaysia and banks all over the world by thieves/kleptocrats who stole millions, if not billions, of Ringgit from the rakyat dan negara (people and country)?
What about hard cash belonging to Malaysians in ‘safe houses and banks’ all over the world?
KUALA LUMPUR, April 15, 2025: The tiny island republic Singapore has remained as the 4th wealthiest city in the world.
It is home to 333 centi-millionaires and 30 billionaires, according to the World Wealthiest Cities Report 2025.
But, is it flawed?
Did the report fail to consider Malaysia with its yet-to-be exposed wealth safely tucked with hard cash in “safe houses’ not only in Malaysia but all over the world, including banks!

Singapore remains world’s 4th wealthiest city

Singapore retained its position as the world’s fourth richest city with 242,400 individuals holding a net worth of over US$1 million as of 2024.
The city-state is also home to 333 centi-millionaires and 30 billionaires, according to the World Wealthiest Cities Report 2025 by investment migration consultant Henley & Partners and global wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth.
The annual report, which ranks cities based on the number of high-net-worth residents, said Singapore’s millionaire population grew by 62% from 2014 to 2024.
In the Asia region, it trails only Japan’s Tokyo, which ranked third globally with 292,300 millionaires, 262 centi-millionaires and 18 billionaires.
This year’s top five remained largely unchanged. New York City retained its position as the world’s wealthiest city with 384,500 high-net-worth individuals in 2024, a 45% increase over the past decade.
The Bay Area, which includes San Francisco and Silicon Valley, held second place with 305,700 millionaires, nearly doubling (98%) its 2014 figure.
Los Angeles completed the top five with 220,600 millionaires. The fifth spot was previously held by London, which is now in the sixth position with 215,700 high-net-worth residents.
Singapore’s 4th richest billionaire Kwek Leng Beng receives $4.5M remuneration from CDL after boardroom feud with CEO son

Kwek Leng Beng, executive chairman of CDL, received reduced remuneration of S$5.97 million (US$4.55 million) for 2024 after a boardroom tussle with his son dragged down the firm’s share price.
This marked a 13.6% drop from S$6.91 million the year before, The Straits Times reported, citing the property developer’s annual report for the 2024 financial year released on April 8.
His son Sherman Kwek, the firm’s CEO, also saw his remuneration reduced by 15.4% to S$2.97 million for 2024. He also chose to forgo a long-term incentive grant of S$1.35 million.
In comparison, Sherman received S$3.52 million in compensation along with the S$1.35 million grant for FY2023, according to The Business Times.
These reductions came amid a slump in CDL’s performance. Its net profit slid by 36.6% year-on-year to S$201.3 million in 2024 while its revenues dropped by 33.8% to S$3.3 billion.
They also followed a drop in the company’s share price after a public dispute between Leng Beng and Sherman earlier this year.
Leng Beng previously filed a lawsuit against Sherman in late February, alleging that he bypassed the firm's nomination committee on a couple of occasions to change the board composition and made significant changes to committees and governance.
Public back-and-forth ensued, with Sherman pinning the blame on his father’s long-time adviser, Catherine Wu, and Leng Beng calling out his son’s "long series of missteps" that he believed caused CDL’s shares to lag behind those of its rivals.
Leng Beng withdrew the lawsuit on March 13, citing a unanimous decision among board members to set aside their differences in the interest of CDL and its stakeholders.
But the feud has weighed on the developer’s stock, which has declined by 12% this year and sank to a 16-year low of S$4.48 on April 8.
CDL has also lost its position as Singapore’s most valuable publicly traded property firm.
Leng Beng and his family have a combined net worth of US$11.5 billion, making him the city-state's fourth richest billionaire on Forbes' Singapore rich list last September.

Malaysians’ sarcasm: Country’s gold reserves hidden in ‘safe houses’!

Malaysians’ sarcasm: Country’s gold reserves hidden in ‘safe houses’!
KUALA LUMPUR, April 13, 2025: The above image posted on Facebook generated a sizeable number of responses … or should it be sarcasm!
Malaysia is not even listed in the Top 20 Asian countries in terms of gold reserves!
Even Indonesia is listed at 17th as Asian countries with the most gold reserves.
This prompted a barrage of sarcastic responses on Facebook.
Of course the classic and best sarcasm must be: “Malaysia’s gold reserves are hidden in safe houses!!!”
And that is why Malaysia is not in the list of Asian countries with most gold reserves.
They are too busy building/constructing safe houses for politicians ... also busy drawing up building plans for "luxury safe houses with security features like Fort Knox"!

With an abundance of natural resources - tin, rubber, oil palm, etc - why is it that after about 68 years of Merdeka 1957 (Independence), Malaysia has nothing to show?
What happened to its wealth!
Singapore, with zero natural resources, is the 11th Asian country with the most gold reserves!
Do you need the brain of the rocket scientist to understand why the Ringgit (RM) cannot recover or appreciate significantly in the decades of come?

So for long term investment besides Gold as safe haven, buy Renmimbi....

Malaysia's gold? Hidden in some safe buildings?
Almost all Asian Currencies had been continually depreciating against Greenback in the last few decades. Every crisis there had been a talk that Greenback is going to collapse. Despite printing USD, USD is still getting strong.
With these Trumpism and tariffs only God knows, what is going to happen !! Thusfar , it is a self inflicted disaster .
Where is MALAYSIA?
Malaysia Shuld be number 1
Quantum Metal alone already own few hundred Tonnes
You so rich, can buy
RMB.....tendency to devalue....susah la
These 3-4 years, more central banks accumulating gold to replace/ reduce USD as reserved currency..
"Niamah....!"
