In recent days Raja Petra and Datuk Seri Najib have been posting some interesting articles on their social media platforms. https://www.malaysia-today.net/2020/07/05/dr-mahathirs-rm200-billion-business-empire-before-1mdb/   &   https://www.facebook.com/157851205951/posts/10157183319445952/   These articles are about the most successful businessman ever to live in Malaysia but many Malaysians still don’t know much of this business empire, while some were not even born yet at that era.

Today, the Pakatan Harapan coalition faces many challenges including its collapse in Kedah. Some of their supporters on social media are saying that the PH government of KEDAH lead by Mukhriz Mahathir is worth saving. Based on Mukhriz Mahathir’s track record as MB of Kedah, the only thing worth anything is his continued sale of Kedah to China business interests. In this photo, the project signing including the sale of 320 hectares of land to this CHINA company was finalised. In the past 22 months, Kedah has seen the Mahathir clan trying to sign up as various business deals in Kedah as possible, including the planned airport in Kulim, the industrial parks and even durian plantations designed to displace indigenous inhabitants.   Many direct negotiation contracts were also dished out. This will now be revealed one by one. While campaigning for GE14, Mahathir and his Pakatan Harapan allies accused the previous government of dishing our large contracts to China b...
