Najib’s conditional house arrest until 23 Aug 2028. We cannot even pretend to be shocked anymore and that’s the most depressing part. Each time we express outrage, adjust, and move on. This is how faith in institutions dies.

Rozanna of @Reuters provided one of the day's best live reporting. The other is by The Edge. theedgemalaysia.com/microsit…
Judge Collin Sequerah has begun delivering his verdict. #1MDB - so far, has found the four abuse of charges were not faulty and that Najib was not prejudiced in the trial - multiple witnesses described Low as close to Najib who gave directions to 1MDB officials on his behalf

The Sabah for Sabahans narrative prevailed last night with a strong message being sent to Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan Sabah has now basically mirrored the political landscape in Sarawak #SabahMemilih2025

It was also fascinating to observe the number of independent candidates that made waves in Sabah which is very much rare in the Peninsula showcasing Sabah’s unique democracy although the incumbent’s advantage was also present #SabahMemilih2025

While GRS had the incumbent’s advantage, Warisan showed that they are a force to be reckoned with as they made their political “comeback” after a poor show during GE15. Warisan is definitely here to stay (but in Sabah) #SabahMemilih2025

We don't talk enough about how racist and anti-semitic zionists are towards Palestinians. They're so racist that the dehumanisation of Palestinians slips out of their mouths so naturally as if they're making small talk about the weather.
Natalie Portman: "I am born in Jerusalem. So today is a very, very emotional day." “To see the end of the war today and the release and the swap of the prisoners and the hostages is really a momentous day, and it feels almost crazy to be talking about anything else except celebrating, hopefully, peace.” Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/global…

As everyone talks about the 50 Israeli hostages held by Palestinian factions, Palestinian hostages continue to die in Israeli jails: Ahmad Khdeirat died in Negev prison, where he was held without charges since May 2024: the 78th Palestinian to die in Israeli custody since Oct7.
🇵🇸 Breaking: 22-year-old Palestinian, held without charge or trial since May 2024, dies in Israeli custody — the 78th Palestinian “prisoner” to die since Oct 7. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said Ahmad Khdeirat, from Adh-Dhahiriya near Hebron, entered prison with diabetes, contracted scabies in Israel’s notorious Negev camp, and endured severe hunger and untreated illness while imprisoned. They said he lost 40kg before his death. Khdeirat was among 3,544 Palestinians being held indefinitely under “administrative detention,” out of more than 11,000 prisoners in Israeli jails, excluding thousands more Gaza captives.

This is what western states call the only democracy of the Middle East. Torturers through and through. Cut ties with Israel now. Break the blockade NOW. End genocide, illegal occupation and apartheid.
BREAKING 🚨 Flotilla participants report that Greta Thunberg was dragged by her hair, beaten, and forced to kiss the Israeli flag "as a warning to others." This news comes amid reports of other disturbing incidents of violent humiliation of Flotilla members.

WTF? Where are Obama and Biden and all the western leaders and celebs who held her up as a hero when she was campaigning on Feb climate? All silent now as reports suggest she may be being abused in Israeli detention? She must be released. theguardian.com/world/2025/o…
