Final Reckoning: An Insider's View of the Fall of Malaysia's Barisan Nasional Government

——內容簡介

An unparalleled political blockbuster of intrigue, disaster, incompetence and the biggest financial scandal the world has ever seen

As a close confidante to Malaysia’s political elite, Romen Bose gives a front row view of the major controversies that hit the Najib Razak administration, having witnessed first-hand how the country’s leadership reacted to the disappearance of MH370 and the step-by-step classified actions of its topmost officials in retrieving the remains of Malaysian victims following the shooting down of MH17.
Final Reckoning also gives a blow-by-blow account of how the 1MDB scandal rocked the Government and the attempts by the country’s top politicians and their advisers to contain and explain it away. Through numerous conversations with key players and his presence at various high-level and secret meetings following the global investigations into the scandal, Romen pieces together for the first time how a sitting Prime Minister became the unwitting patsy of a mastermind who had managed to pull off the single biggest con of the century. In doing so, Final Reckoning tells the story of an ultimately futile scramble to try and preserve a crumbling political legacy that had long been out of step with the realities of a new Malaysia.
This book is the story of the wild roller-coaster ride that marked the Barisan Nasional Government’s rule, from the 2013 General Elections, until its sixty-one-year-old grip on power came to a juddering halt on the night of 9 May 2018.
