Tim Leissner was “a habitual liar who shaded the truth at every turn,” said a lawyer about the former Goldman Sachs head for Southeast Asia who lied to government officials and all his girlfriends. To get what he wanted Leissner lies!

Notice how that name rhymes well with the act that he was accused of and later admitted to federal prosecutors. Some actions just suit the names of their perpetrators so perfectly. Nothing suits better than Leissner lies.

Jahid Komedi was another. Netizens often reminded us of his comical acts committed on several occasions, including his lacklustre appearance at United Nations General Assembly that embarrassed the nation to no end.

Also, more recently his plan to “swear curse” (sumpah laknat) in a mosque inviting Muhyiddin to do likewise because the latter accused him of appealing for help with piles of charges mounted against him by the court. In any case, Muhyiddin was not about to perform any magic tricks to help the cases disappear into thin air.

That reminds me of a magician named Ajaib Singh who made his living entertaining kids with his magic shows. He was a crowd-puller just like a former leader of this country who was not a magician by any means but did earn a reputation as being a non-starter in the art.

“Notajaib” was a nickname given to a former political leader who tried to pull many magic tricks to put wool over the nation’s eyes without much success. In Hokkien the guy is referred to as “bay jib” or not in, “tak masuk” and if you would care to add “akal” to the phrase, (tak masuk akal) it would make a lot of sense. He is a national embarrassment yet still galavanting, outside a correctional facility to which he belonged.

Of course, a name like Putin is so appropriate, especially for his recent incursion into Ukraine. The punt is on Putin, once he puts in his armies into Ukraine, there’s no way he’s going to pull them out any time soon.

Of course, Tim Leissner’s sex scandals involving millions had led netizens into renaming the bank he worked for as “Gold Man Sex”.

To illustrate, how expensive the sex scandals amounted to, consider RM40 million Leissner gifted a former lover. In a relationship of over ten years, the cost works out to be something like 11,000 per day. That’s quite a tidy sum for any relationship. For any man including a “gold man”.

“It’s fair to say you’ve lied a lot in your life?” A lawyer, Agnifilo asked Leissner in a New York court who admitted lying on many occasions in the past.

“I lied a lot, sir, and I regret those times,” he replied. “I turned over a new chapter.” Yes, he did turn over, by becoming a witness for the prosecution to crucify his former partner, Roger Ng.

But Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission was not about to take risks or accept his confessions and regrets over what happened. In 2019 they banned Tim Leissner from working as a securities and financial adviser in the city for life, because of his involvement in the 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) corruption scandal.

However, Putin is still staying put, Najib is not Ajaib Singh neither is Zahid a real comedian.
