My views and comments as a Professor in the seventies with thirteen degrees in many fields, and with my close experience from day one when the Reformasi movement was born . It may be like a revelation for younger people like the host and many younger people. The motive of the book may look like writing a story but I think it was also to make money form its sale because of the sensational drama. From my understanding there are many controversial issues, challengeable issues, questionable issues important personalities are missing like Jo Low not seen well in the drama ,after knowing he was the central figure among others Mahathir family business and its connection to the so-called Mahathirs plot to remove Najib and Anwar . Mega projects which Mahathir wanted for his son was not successful because Najib blocked it. His Najib not guilty cannot hold water , he is guilty of listening to advisors is illogical, lacks reason and truth. There are many others which Inam not interested to comment , Having read a thousand books in my in almost all fields , I think it just what he thinks and not the truth. A lot of missing puzzles and not holistic explanations of the events . This is just my opinion I may not be right. More like a disconnected part of a bigger truthful story. Any way a good attempt , nobody is perfect but a good effort , serious readers need to see the whole big picture and do a reality check and value analysis.
I have 25 degrees and has becomes a Dean since 1960s. It was clearly said by tan sri apandi that Gopal Sri ram said he needs to jail Najib with or without evidence. That's says alot
👆Deserves a VVIP place calls GARBAGE!!! Those agrees with you should be on the same queue too... No body is too good but Najib is definately a KLEPTOCRAT!
Who said? He got advised by zeti it is ok toproceed. And his bank account fot someone to manage. It's not like you that only have 20 ringgit in your bank account.
Ha ha, now due and proper investigation into a serious crime can also be called conspiracy, just like thievery can be called donations. Our vocabulary, especially on synonyms keep enlarging.
I would agree with almost all the things that was said by Romen. I had been analysing all these happenings, since 2008, when PR broke all their promises when they took over all the 5 states. I dont support any political party as our analysis would be bias then. It should be done on a bird's eye view. We cant be analysing things from a bird's eye view if we are involved in supporting any political party.
Neither can I swallow the fact of sheraton move that the man himself did not know about it. Pls explain how the 1 billion they found at the condo , where did it come from.? Thanks for the positive thoughts for the present government.
@@400malayawhat is Anwar crime?Liwat against Anwar is totally a joke and pure political conspiracies.Malaysia has settled RM48 billion so far for 1MDB debt and some people are still believing that Najib is innocent?
Agree with you.If this is conspiracy, then who else responsible for all of these 1MDB things.Dont tell me that Najib is so stupid to approve every documents related to IMDB misused fund even if Jo Low is the person all behind these high profile case that shocked the whole world.
If I can dislike najib for many things he did to kill Rakyat after Pm Abdullah did so many good to help people I find difficulties to believe your writings.??
The host is so ignorant when he said he never heard the term 'patsy' used on Najib. It has been used so many times by his supporters including me the hardcore supporter.
“Guard your reputation with your life” What Tun has done to DSN, it’s simply beyond return. Remember folks, in politics everything can be arranged. That is why it’s called the Art of Impossible.
A journalist who worked for Najib is saying that there are flaws in the very respected Gopal Ram and Tommy Thomas judgements in Najib's case. Also, it's all Jho Low's greed and we shouldn't blame Najib or Rosmah. I rest my case..
Shocked LGE became Fin Minister? Look at his track record in Penang as a chief minister. Mazlee as an education minister was to bring a fresh view over the messed up education rotting our children minds. Shows like this is not a goodcast but a poor one tbh. I would wonder also how much Romen was paid to be a stooge for the former MO1.
LGE reduced toll by 18% but extended toll concession by a few more decades. Most people I talked to who supported him only mentioned the first part. The other thing he did was to offload a number of government properties and companies like IHH. Took away subsidiary under Tabung Haji. Also reduced number of stations of LRT and MRT and call it cost cutting. Other than that, I don't know what else he did. But to be fair, his tenure was short-lived because Mahathir shot himself in the foot. Also, there wasn't much he could do. He zerorised GST to fulfill election promise and gave tax holiday for 3 months. That also spelled trouble to the government. So... there's that. In Penang also, not much happening under him apart from giving approval to developers to build more unaffordable homes. I think Chow Kon Yeow does better now. But this guy doesn't see eye to eye with LGE.
I doubt he got any illegal funds from Najib & Associates but if he was paid legally for working hard then every sen of the legal money that has been declared to the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN)
Page 93 Not Prime Minister Ahmad Abdullah Badawi... It should be ABDULLAH AHMAD BADAWI. So far, I think Billion Dollar Whale is 9/10. While your book Romen is 8/10. Kudos 😊
It’s weird!!! How come you said you were a good friend of Najib when you simply didn’t wanted to know anythings abt him from your malaysian friends for a period of 2 yrs??? I meant your friends texted massages. PM was your friend as you claimed but you didn’t want to know abt him 😮…. So strange! A normal kind of friend surely anxious to know abt his friend being in big cases like this. And further you have said, he was mislead by his advisers? Really??? What kind of PM Najib was?? How abt Rosmah involvement on 1mdb, currently facing charges!! Najib also didn’t know abt that??😂 A good leader would certainly get mad whenever his family try to do bad things which will automatically affect his carrier. I have lost interest in your story. So sorry!
Najib being innocent or not is one thing but it's funnier to see the comments section are filled with angry people who don't wanna admit they were taken for a ride by a fossil. lol
Just wasted 41min of my time to learn that all about already happened coz by Tun M and mostly what this guy are talking about are all hearsay and bullshit 😂
@@daserta1955 I also wondering if there’s such evidence, why there’s no convicted but the one got convicted is sleeping in Kajang. People in Malaysia are a combined of gullible, ignorant and wise. The wise will question where’s the conviction. And even FBI played a role in recouping all siphoned fund back to the government. Only stupid audience will listen to stupid story. Kleptocracy is on the rise and is being promoting.
@@thegoodcastshow yeap! btw thanks man this is one of the rarest interview ever happened in malaysia. cant believe its u who had the chance to held it. haha! pretty sure many people wanted to see romen bose speaking infornt of camera 😅
What a stupid and nonsense narrative and observation.. This bald guy don’t know anything his talking about. What’s the point Tun want the revenge, coz he can be comfortable supporting najib, for his son too.. Prime Minister had 2.6 freaking billion in his account and make Malaysia looks like Pariah.. Problem is Anwar and Azmin rivalry that collapsed everything.. PH who convinced Tun, to get the 10% Malay vote he need to be interim PM.. So many misleading stories, inaccurate facts..

The Sheraton move was masterminded by Mahathir. Because he had no intention at all to hand over the premiership to Anwar.

elaborate on the illogical part please
Without evidence?1 MDB is still under trial I cant say more but SRC case Najib had been proved guilty by 7 jugdes.
I love how Romen articulate his wordings carefully and clearly in this interview
I totally disagree with Romen's thesis about this being all about one man. However i will buy his book.
Change of gov't in 2018 was really a bad2 dream.
For those who are obssessed with 'ubah', I say to them, "serve you right!"
KJ aka keluar secapak should interview this guy for facts & figures 😅
Yeah
@@nairravi how? Is he talking with facts & figures?
some make sense and some are absurd
1MDB is the biggest mess. At the end, who's accountable? The buck stops at the head🤔
True !
Whatever happened & is happening in Malaysia, politically, socially, and to certain extend economically, is the Old Man, Tun M's doing.
Conspiracy against Najib......keep dreaming Romen Bose😊
He is talking Bullshit !
Hahaha...and he doesnt know that 2.4 billion came into his account😂

Tolong siasat mamat ni dapat duit dari siapa, beriya benar jilat koruptor! 😂 #slurpsampailicin
How can a country divided by itself, so much division within its citizens could move forward.
Instead of "Bila Mahathir Merajuk", maybe it should be "Bila Koruptor Dikhianati" atau "Bila Saka Tua Mula Mereput"! 😂 #goodnessprevail
Prof Jomo was once said "Mahathirisme is too deep rooted in this country" so I guess the truth will not prevail
Neither can I swallow the fact of sheraton move that the man himself did not know about it.
Pls explain how the 1 billion they found at the condo , where did it come from.?
Thanks for the positive thoughts for the present government.
My analysis was pretty much in agreement with Mr Bose. Definitely, I will get the book.
Me too
Me too.
Nobody can conspire to prosecute that guy if he is clean.Therefore no need to spin.Fullstop
When we are being taught to spin..I am not surprised at all
Najib is desperate to get out 😁. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time
If Anwar can do it, why not Najib? 😅

Excellent interview
Altantuya , Anwar second concocted case. Buying people’s wife tell the justce. He is definitely asked and probably paid to write that way. Lost logic.
Very good insight. thank you!
When you have sinned , looted abused power and wasted pubic funds there is no such thing as conspiracy.
Malaysia will be better under najib. Problem is some people believe clean government exist in this world.
