Check out the Dirty Money episode ON Netflix that details Malaysian corruption under it's previous Prime Minister. He had his son being the front of most of the Billion dollar scams. Most of the money was taken from government agencies and departments 👀
He fired Ministers and did cabinet reshuffles when too many questions were asked. 👀👀
He still gave small rallies, had supporters who say it's all a conspiracy, others were telling him things were better under him and there was a corruption trial after he left office. 😂
He got sentenced to 12yrs last year.
The kicker? The episode ends with him singing.
Apparently he loves singing to crowds.

A thread on the most expensive spice in the world.
At between R14 000 to R140 000 per kg, Saffron is spice gold. #LesFoodFacts
What is saffron? The small "threads" that make up the spice are the stigma from the flower that grows from the Crocus Sativus plant. Each flower produces 3 stigmas. Those red threads in the middle of the flower #LesFoodFacts
To produce just 500g of saffron spice you need to pick the stigma from 75000 flowers...by hand.
It is time consuming and back-breaking work. #LesFoodFacts
Fascinating to see how old tech toaster ovens and convection ovens have been reimagined and changed to "airfryers" and given sleek designs.
Must be one of the greatest marketing transitions ever.
The tech hasn't changed, its decades old, its just how it's presented now.
My mom was big on the Weigh-Less programme in the 90's. She had to get all the gadgets recommended by it and one of them was a convection oven.
Remember these? They're the same tech as what people call "airfryers" these days. A convection oven. #LesFoodFacts
How does a normal, standard oven work? By heat radiation from elements in the top and bottom of the oven. In professional kitchens our ovens also have fans which circulate the heated air, this allows for a more even heat distribution. #LesFoodFacts
Ok, let's start at the most obvious question. Why are nuts so bloody expensive? You need to understand what nuts are and how they grow and how they're processed.
The price is based on processing and also on market demand. Let me explain those 2 points first #LesFoodFacts
Let me start with the most expensive nut in the world. The Macadamia nut.
Origin? Queensland, Australia. Eaten by Aborigines for centuries and called "Kindal Kindal" until the colonisers landed and renamed them after one of themselves. Some dude called Macadam #LesFoodFacts
Had our Bosch training today. In summary, the Internet of Things is here to stay.
Smart kitchen, the new range of appliances can be controlled via your phone. Your fridge has a camera inside as well, whilst you're shopping you can check what's inside it and what you need to buy.
Can get your coffee machine to start making your morning coffee whilst you're still in bed.
Get your stove and oven to teach you new recipes and get it to cook them for you. 🔥
Oh, and the coffee machines can be programmed to remember every person's favourite coffee. So if you have a special date, just tell it to remember her/his style of coffee & it will make it the same every time. Got a group of friends over? You can save each person's style as well
Some Bosch inspired kitchens. Will FINALLY be finishing mine soon too. 😍 #CookLikeABosch
😍😍😍
What I love is how flexible the @BoschHomeSA range of appliances are. The technology is always updated every year but they also last for ages...and always looks slick and classy 👌🏾. I'm biased coz I'm a Bosch ambassador but even if I wasn't I'd still be obsessed 😍
Wrapping it tightly in cling wrap works even better. Wrap the lid separately and you can open it without needing to re-wrap it. Oh, and a sheet of wax baking paper directly on the surface of the ice-cream for extra control 😉
Why does it work? It's to prevent any air getting into the ice cream and causing crystals forming. Over time the fat and liquids in ice cream split as temperatures fluctuate as you open and close the ice cream. Wrapping or covering it helps minimise how much air gets in.
Scooping it in the freezer or fridge also prevents warmer room temp air getting into the ice cream...which then means less chance of crystals.
