This is taken from The Washington Post. I have truncated it. You can click on the links for the full story. My comments follow.

IN January, Malaysia’s autocratic-minded Najib tried to decree end to scandal

According to WSJ millions transferred to party officials
at least US$15 million used for personal expenses
lavish spending on clothes, jewelry and a car.
US$150 million went from 1MDB to Najib’s stepson, “The Wolf of Wall Street”
Malaysian economy sputtering
All this ought to sway Obama administration . .

My comments : If you are interested here is another negative article by the Washington Post on Najib :
https://www.washingtonpost.
In the bottom left of the picture above, note the words "Editorial Board". This article is attributed to the entire Editorial Board of the Post. Not just to one writer or Editor. This is quite serious. People in the White House will take note of this as well.
Folks the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times are the most influential newspapers in the US.
The Washington Post is derigeur reading for all US Congressmen, Senators, Capitol Hill lobbyists AND the White House. The Post has a 500,000 daily cirulation in Washington DC and its surroundings. Here is some info :
The Washington Post is generally regarded as one of the leading daily American newspapers, along with The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
The Post has distinguished itself through its political reporting on the workings of the White House, Congress, and other aspects of the U.S. government.
The newspaper has won 47 Pulitzer Prizes. This includes six separate Pulitzers awarded in 2008, the second-highest number ever given to a single newspaper in one year.
Post journalists have also received 18 Nieman Fellowships and 368 White House News Photographers Association awards. In the early 1970s, in the best-known episode in newspaper's history, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein led the American press' investigation into what became known as the Watergate scandal; reporting in the newspaper greatly contributed to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
So this is not the Utusan ok, which is read in Padang Piol. Or the New Straits Times.
And this newspaper is now focussed on our local moron pirate, who has left an easy trail of bread crumbs, wider than a hippo's butt. And he thinks he is immune. Moron.
I find the following statements by the Post very revealing :
1. (Najib) appears headed for well-deserved disgrace.
2. past time for Obama administration to distance itself from 'ruler'
3. chances Najib will face legal and political consequences steadily growing
4. investigators in other countries to expose how money was diverted.
5. growing evidence of corruption and repressive response
These are very powerful words coming from a powerful newspaper. Look at these threesentences :
These folks are close to the center of power in Washington. They may know something that we may not know. There is already an aggressive FBI investigation going on over 1MDB.
What if a warrant of arrest issued? Or even a subpoena?
Tak malu ke? It will surely be a first.
Tun Dr Mahathir was and still is a most highly respected statesman.
Abdullah Badawi almost got legally entangled with the FBI on that Iraq business dealing.
His son was 'implicated' in that Libya nuclear parts thing.
Maybe Najib will be Malaysia's third strike - out you go.
It will be quite an embarrassment indeed.
Or he can just stay at home. Main guli.
