   Malaysia Sorry for Chinese New Year Rooster Ad Cock-up
   The Straits Times | Feb. 16, 2018 | AFP

   KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – Malaysia has apologised after a government ad in Chinese-language newspapers featuring a picture of a barking rooster to mark the Year of the Dog sparked a flood of mockery.

   The full-page advert by the domestic trade, cooperatives and consumerism ministry showed a rooster emitting the word “wang”, used to represent a dog’s bark in Mandarin.

   …. thus providing fodder for comments so egregious and so silly that decorum prohibits their listing here.

3. And I’ll bet you 10 years in stir-fry that this is an example of what the Malaise-ian government would deem “fake news”:

   Trump, Malaysia’s Najib skirt around US probe into 1MDB scandal
   freemalaysiatoday.com (Reuters ) | September 13, 2017

   WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump welcomed Prime Minister Najib Razak to the White House today, praising his country for investing in the United States while steering clear of an American investigation into a Malaysian corruption scandal.

   . . . a criminal probe by the US Justice Department into a state fund called 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

   …

   Najib founded the fund, which is facing money laundering probes in at least six countries, including the United States, Switzerland and Singapore. He denies wrongdoing.

   The US Justice Department has said more than US$4.5 billion was misappropriated from 1MDB by high-level officials of the fund and their associates, according to dozens of civil lawsuits it filed last year.

   The Justice Department sued to seize some US$1.7 billion in assets it said were bought with misappropriated 1MDB funds . . .

   …

   “I know that some of you will have heard some less positive stories about the Malaysian economy, particularly about 1MDB,” Najib said.

   “Indeed, there was a campaign to deliberately sabotage the company — and undermine investor confidence in our economy — in a failed attempt to topple the government in between election cycles.”

   He also said Malaysia’s investigations into 1MDB revealed there had been some “failings.”
