RPK Posted :Back to the future: The fall of Saigon revisited

This is an interesting post by RPK and quite interesting to read. We use to say history repeats itself and this Back To the future is worth reading. Something about Patrick Badawi. If you are lazy to read from the beginning, just start from paragraph 7 onwards. OK! Fasten your seat belt. Lets go Back To The Future.

If you are still lazy to read I pick out some interesting lines from posting:

Patrick Lim tried his best to salvage whatever little left he could salvage. As soon as the results of the election became known, his fortune started dwindling at a rapid pace. When the stock market opened the Monday following the elections, he saw more than a quarter billion Ringgit disappear from his books.

..............Patrick Lim made a beeline for Terengganu in an attempt to have a personal audience with His Majesty to pursue the RM300 million offer. The Agong made Patrick Lim sit in the waiting room the entire afternoon and at 5.00pm His Majesty sent his ‘guest’ off in tears with the message that he is persona non grata in the palace
.

He went to meet Ahmad Said and offered the new Menteri Besar RM40 million if he would agree to turn down the offer for the top post and instead settle for the post of Deputy Menteri Besar. This would allow Idris Jusoh the top post, which would then enable Patrick Lim to retain Terengganu as his playground. But Ahmad Said refused the offer of RM40 million and Patrick Lim’s hope of getting his hands on the RM1.2 billion a year shattered.

Then scroll down and also read - Patrick Lim - jetsetter with a bulls-eye on his back’ published in The Malaysian Insider on 28th March 2008.
