The original grand plan to palm Malaysia off with half a million jabs of trial Covid vaccine to at least part-settle the Abu Dhabi royal family’s dues for its participation in Najib’s 1MDB fraud appears to have driven into the sand.
Following general outrage at the proposal the Agong returned from his trumpeted trip to meet his Sandhurst buddy MBZ, the Crown Prince, in Abu Dhabi last month with nothing to announce.
Now the coup cabal are back in town for another go, this time led by foreign minister Hishamuddin Hussein, who is Najib’s cousin and a key lynchpin in the ’emergency’ minority government.
