- morningseagulls 7y ago>a cunning plan to funnel money into the pockets of the 20-something children of well connected people. You're thinking of Silicon Valley/NYC. The money in Southeast Asia is going to washed-up 30- to 40-something financial types who're hoping to make it big with their startup.
- umeshunni 7y agoI'm surprised at the timing of the announcement, given that Mahathir's corruption/embezzlement scandal is still fresh in many people's memory: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/malaysia-najib-razak-arrest-corruption-1mdb-scandal-rosmah-mansor-a8428981.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/malaysia-najib...
