It has been the craziest 14 days of Najib Razak's life.

Some may say that it's karma. But others may also say it is well-deserved.

Because, come on, who actually goes from Prime Minister of Malaysia to ex-Prime Minister, stepping down as Umno president, and then having his homes searched and raided, as investigations into the 1MDB scandal intensify.

Malaysians memeing hard

Enter Najib Memes for Barisan Teens.

It's a Facebook meme page and it's not to be confused for a Barisan Nasional page.

It was born on May 10, a day after the country-changing election saw the opposition Pakatan Harapan ousting the incumbent.

Najib Memes for Barisan Teens' main role in life is to poke fun at the once mighty party and ex-PM.

It's clutter-cutting format is the adaptation of tried-and-tested image macros that have flooded the internet, but made relevant for Malaysians and practically anyone who understands the Internet and the recent election.

And it follows the convention of meme pages naming themselves in the following rhyming format: [insert subject matter] memes for [related phrase or word] teens.

Why you should read it

It aggregates not-so-subtle memes created by the page and other users, directed at chronicling public sentiment towards Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor, with other hilarious takes on Pakatan Harapan's equally colourful allies and adversaries.

Dank memeing, for the uninitiated, is the healthiest form of expression that packs the most oomph for the most economical amount of expression.

Enjoy.
