Datuk Seri Najib Razak has been found guilty by the High Court today for abuse of power and misappropriating over RM42 million from 1Malaysia Development Berhad’s (1MDB) former subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd. In delivering his judgement to a packed courtroom, High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali said Najib was complicit in the deposits of RM42 million from SRC International in his private account. “In conclusion after considering all evidence in this trial, I find that the prosecution has successfully proven its case beyond reasonable doubt against the accused, I therefore find the accused guilty and convict the accused on all seven charges,” he said. Also present in court for today's proceeding were Najib's children Datuk Mohd Nizar Najib, Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz and Norashman Najib. Najib's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was not present. Top Umno leaders were also seen in court to lend support including Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who also has a trial himself later today, and deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. The conviction could also mean an end to Najib's political career in Malaysia, as it jeopardises Najib's chances of participating in the next election and the disqualification as an elected representative. The SRC International trial is one of five criminal trials that involved him. Najib’s charges Of the seven charges he was accused of, Najib is accused of committing three counts of criminal breach of trust over a total RM42 million of SRC International funds while entrusted with its control as the prime minister and finance minister then, and a separate charge of abusing the same positions for self-gratification of the same sum. For the remaining three charges, he is accused of laundering RM42 million. For abuse of power under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act 2009, a person convicted faces a maximum of 20 years’ imprisonment and a minimum fine of RM10,000 or up to five times the sum or value of the bribe, whichever is higher. Criminal breach of trust under Section 409 of the Penal Code carries a penalty of a minimum of two years’ and a maximum 20 years’ imprisonment, whipping and fine. As for money laundering under Section 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, the punishment is a maximum 15 years’ jail term and a fine of up to five times the amount of money laundered or RM5 million, whichever is higher.

 Instagram | @olssonstenman_photography In the world of cutesy animal names there is often some confusion over categorization. For example, when is a doggo also a pupper — and does that disqualify them from being a pupperino? When it comes to the avian world, the main question is thus: "When does a birb become a borb?" At what stage of roundness does a bird's orb-like appearance merit a name change? (Future linguists are going to be very confused by this era...)

Don't even bring a succulent or any tropical plant close to me! I'm basically Timmy Turner's mom from The Fairly OddParents. Just because our green thumbs are basically nonexistent doesn't mean we're going to give into the fake plant world anytime soon, and these plant pots will hopefully bring us good green thumb karma.

 Unsplash I know I've talked about a lot of different succulents. Apparently, succulents come in all sorts of weird shapes including ones that resemble bunny ears and the ones that look like jumping dolphins. Now I bring you another super cute succulent I bet you're going to fall in love with. I did and I need to have it in my life ASAP. It's called a "Bear Paw" succulent and it's adorable.

 Simply Succulents I have mentioned before that when it comes to nurturing plants, I don't have too much of a green thumb. It's sad but true. There are many plants that have unfortunately suffered an sad fate at my doing. If you're like me, you might have given up on plants altogether, but I'm here to tell you not to. Just try succulents instead. When they look as cute as this project, you absolutely have to.
