Try binge-watching romantic films and you’ll realise one thing most of the films have in common; the male lead will stumble upon a different, “not-like-other-girls” female lead who helps him realise another perspective in life and aids him in his character development.

As Najib seeks to appeal to the Federal Court, this might buy more time for him to roam freely and continue his political agendas and more shockingly, become Prime Minister once again.
