Ex-Malaysian PM Najib's wife Rosmah gets 10 years' jail, fined $303m for corruption KUALA LUMPUR - Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak, was sentenced to 10 years' jail and fined RM970 million (S$303 million) for graft on Thursday, just over a week after her husband was  jailed when Malaysia's highest court affirmed his corruption conviction. Rosmah, 70, was found guilty by Malaysia's High Court of soliciting a total of RM194 million in bribes to help solar energy firm Jepak Holdings secure  a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project  for hundreds of schools in Sarawak in 2016. The sentence is stayed pending her appeal against conviction. She is allowed to remain out on bail, which has been maintained at RM2 million. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/malaysian-court-finds-ex-pms-wife-rosmah-guilty-of-corruption

Malaysia ex-PM Najib begins 12-year jail sentence after failing to overturn 1MDB conviction The Federal Court's verdict followed one by the High Court that in July 2020, found Najib guilty of receiving about RM42 million (S$13 million) from SRC International in his personal bank account. The High Court sentence was upheld by a three-member Court of Appeal in December last year. But Najib, 69, was allowed to post bail and live freely, pending his appeal, allowing him to make a political comeback and play an influential role in his party Umno.   The five-member Federal Court bench led by the Chief Justice, Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, ruled against Najib on Tuesday, after a week in which his defence team - which saw a revolving door of lawyers -  refused to make any written or oral submissions in defence of their client. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/malaysia-ex-pm-najib-to-serve-jail-sentence-after-failing-to-overturn-final-1mdb-appeal

Live: Dow rebounds to flat, clawing back 200-point loss in volatile trading following strong jobs report Stocks wavered Friday in a volatile trading session after the July jobs report was much better than expected, as investors assessed what a strong labor market would mean for the Federal Reserve's rate tightening campaign. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 76.65 points, or 0.23%, to end at 32,803.47. Even with Friday's gains, however, it fell on the week. The S&P 500 shed 0.16% to end at 4,145.19, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.50% Friday, falling to 12,657.56. Still, both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq ended the first week of August higher. Losses were offset by bank stocks, which rose on hopes that interest rate hikes will continue at a solid clip. Energy stocks also gained, but technology companies slumped. The labor market added 528,000 jobs in July,  easily  beating a Dow Jones estimate  of a 258,000 increase. The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5%, b...

40% of workers are considering quitting their jobs soon Nearly half of job-leavers are switching industries  About 48% of people who quit have pursued new opportunities in different industries, the report found.  Dowling points to two factors driving this exodus: pandemic-induced burnout and better odds of securing a higher-paid role in a tight labor market.
