Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Malaysia's capital on Saturday demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Razak over his alleged involvement in a multi-billion dollar misappropriation scandal.


As previously reported Turnbull and the Australian Government have been very slow to their part in investigating and charging those in Australia involved in that "misappropriation" scandal".



Australia's 1MDB position explained: Turnbull wants a deal with Najib
