NOVANEWS Zionist Najib Razak Malaysia’s attorney-general has closed a lengthy corruption investigation involving the country’s prime minister. Malaysian Zionist puppet Prime Minister Najib Razak won’t be facing any legal consequences for a US$681 million donation from the Saudi Zio-Wahhabi family after the country’s attorney-general decided to drop the case on Tuesday. “There was no reason given as to why the donation was made to PM Najib – that is between him and the Saudi family,” said Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi. Zionist puppet Najib returned all but US$61 million shortly after the money transfer in early 2013, during an election campaign, because it was not used, he said.

NOVANEWS by ANDRE VLTCHEK Last year, I stopped travelling to Indonesia. I simply did… I just could not bear being there, anymore. It was making me unwell. I felt psychologically and physically sick. Indonesia has matured into perhaps the most corrupt country on Earth, and possibly into the most indoctrinated and compassionless place anywhere under the sun.
