Wife of Malaysia’s Ex-Prime Minister, Known for Moneyed Lifestyle, Is Arrested

Her collection of designer handbags rivaled the shoe fetish of Imelda Marcos. Her jewelry was so ostentatious that one piece, a $27.3 million pink diamond pendant and necklace, earned a mention in a U.S. Department of Justice complaint on rampant corruption in Malaysia.

"Wife of Malaysia’s Ex-Prime Minister, Known for Moneyed Lifestyle, Is Arrested" is from the October 03, 2018 World section of The New York Times. It was written by Hannah Beech and Austin Ramzy and narrated by Keith Sellon-Wright.
