The Opposition media is having a ball with the recent news on Daniyar Nazarbayev. In case you don’t who know he is, he is the former stepson of Kazakh president, Nursultan Nazarbayev’s brother (what a mouthful!) . More importantly, he also happens to be Najib Razak’s future son in law. The New York Post, citing court documents, claims that Daniyar allegedly conned his stepfather out of a US$20 million Plaza condo as well as his way into Columbia University.
FYI the New York Post has yet to actually publish the actual court documents. It kind of has the same feel when Suaram claimed that they had damning evidence on Scorpene but were unable to take it out of France.
How credible is New York Post anyway as it’s known for its sensationalized style of writing? Well, did you know that the New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who happened to be the owner of UK tabloid, News of the World. News of the World was forced to close due to public backlash and the withdrawal of advertising as a result of the phone hacking scandal in 2011. It was discovered that nearly a decade earlier, a private investigator hired by the newspaper had intercepted and deleted the voicemail of missing British teenager Milly Dowler, who was later found murdered. The scandal deepened when the paper was alleged to have hacked into the phones of families of British service personnel killed in action. Incidentally, the New York Post was also responsible for issuing an article, claiming that the hotel housekeeper Dominique Strauss-Kahn was accused of sexually assaulting was actually a prostitute. (The woman has since sued The Post)
Now as for academic fraud, note that Daniyar has graduated from Columbia. What is in dispute is his high school qualifications. Also note that Columbia was made aware of it and it appears that Daniyar was deem qualified to stay in the school. Perhaps he had to retake his SAT exam or maybe SAT scores were used for his admission in the first place? So he has now graduated from Columbia unless NYP is disputing that too?

It sounds like a marital dispute between ex-spouses. Bolat is not a kid, a power of attorney is a power of attorney. For him to now (2012) claim, he was under a different impression of what was supposed to be done in (2008) after their marriage is annulled in (2011) smacks of a stingy ex-spouse worming his way out of alimony.

Najib going to French Jail, Son-in-law going to American Jail, Rosmah going to Kamunting for possession of corrupted money. Daughter to join the in-coming govt called PKR. Altantuya is watching from a distance….
The latest joint venture between Malaysia and Kazakhstan – Posh Criminals Inc.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-21...ds-newsxmlLooks like PM Najib’s daughter has got herself into a big mess and will have to do a lot of soul searching. Can someone check and see if Daniyar Nazarbayev has already been granted Malaysian citizenship? Because if he is already a Malaysian citizen, the BN government would be glad to go all out, at any cost, to protect and save him. Daniyar’s skills in swindling would definitely be an ‘asset’ to our nation!
Soon, after getting married to PM daughter, this ‘conman’ will automatically become ‘melayu’ and therefore an UMNO member. This party is just suit him well. To Najib, congrates and good luck.
This guy Daniyar and his mother have successfully trapped the Najib family. His mother is a known gangster/mobster in Kazakhstan. This was planned much earlier and executed well by the mother and son team. Kesian Najib, Rosmah and Najwa. What goes around (Mongolia) comes around ( Kazakhstan). KARMA!!See those were not rumours about this future son-in-law of Malaysia’s 1st Lady Rosmah Mansoh, he is indeed from a Con Artist family, now everything is in the court coming from none other than his own Stepfather himself, Thieves will always band with Thieves, how apt !! Rosmah conned a condo from Sharizat Not too long ago we have one son-in-law who acts like a pm..but only on local ground…now we are going to have another one who cheats …but this one is better..he goes international…
This act of giving funds only to BN constituencies is a blatant corrupt practice. There is no way to justify the exclusion of Pakatan MPs either legally or ethically. Which begs the question-where are the institutions of government that will prevent such abuses from taking place? Where are the watchdogs? That is what is frustrating for Malaysians. The government cannot just to be chastised by civil society and the opposition. The relevant institutions need to stand up and do their part in righting the wrongs and not merely play politics!
MPs who will receive this RM1.5 million to account for every sen of it and not use this money as their campaign fund in the next GE. I hope PR will set up a monitoring body and report to the EC and MACC if any misuse is detected. All Malaysian pay taxes, but why some constituency gets more perks while other not? Is it all BN-held constituency are poorer compare to others? If that is the case then I can understand, and realized thats due to BN’s poor management. But if those constituency are rich, then why bother? Our tax money is not BN’s private coffer. RM1.5 million breakdown = RM1 million indirectly to MPs election fund. RM500,000 project for kampung/villages, crony contractor get 50% profit. So actually only RM250,000 reach the rakyat.No politician occupying the top post would envy Najib’s position. He is under siege from many within his own party, who want to be nominated to stand in the GE13, and never mind those without. He is a desperate man—so desperate, in fact, that he did something as silly and unproductive as spending RM32 million on the Million Youths Rally at Putrajaya last month. And it shows on his face, too. Look at his picture. He looks at least 10 years older than his biological age. Unfortunately, the fund will be channeled to their own pockets instead of helping the needed people. Najib is using this RM 1.5 million to buy loyalty. this kind of allocation is very unfair to the voters in the PR held constituencies and who have voted BN in GE12. They might as well vote for PR
The proposal to dish out RM1.5 million more to each BN-held constituency shows Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is becoming desperate in light of the looming general election, Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said.
Standard & Poor’s – the global credit rating agency – has threatened to downgrade Malaysia to a junk investment grade status. Should this happen, Malaysia’s reputation will take a big hit. The first fallen angel amongst the BRIC nations as the papers have been screaming. Malaysia will struggle to raises foreign capital to fuel its ambitious growth agenda if this happens. But can one really blame S&P for its statement. Is it off the mark when it says that the politics is the real culprit in Barisan-UMNO Malaysia?
A lot of people have complained about the Barisan-UMNO non-performance. Many have said that the problems come from within the Barisan-UMNO , not outside. What this statement really means is that no2is really an opposition leader who pretends to be part of the Barisan-UMNO. It’s perhaps only because he sees the Central government as a sort of piggy bank which he can withdraw money from all the time that he continues to be counted as a leader of the umno. There is not even a pretence of an ideological point of view on this subject or a care for the national good; it’s like the threat of a kidnapper who has taken someone hostage.
Barisan Nasional’s (BN) latest allocation of over RM200 million for its MPs to plough into their constituencies despite Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s pledges to rein in the deficit betrays the prime minister’s desperation ahead of federal polls, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
With Putrajaya admitting it is unlikely to meet GDP growth projections this year, leading to a larger budget deficit, the opposition leader took aim at the Najib administration, saying the move to hand each BN federal lawmaker RM1.5 million was “not proper.”
“The PM also said they can spend in cash, giving up to RM5,000 to their constituents. This is not proper,” the PKR de facto leader told a press conference.
