THE tight circle of support around Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak shows no signs of cracking and it may be business as usual in the scandal-rocked country, but the US government's move to seize assets allegedly stolen from 1MDB may place a "time limit" on the status quo.
Before the US appeared with its stinging rebuke - "we will not allow the United States to become a playground for the corrupt" - and named five of nine individuals allegedly tied to the 1MDB laundering conspiracy, it would seem like there was no "expiry date" on Malaysia's political snafu.
