It's not something you see every day: A former Prime Minister being arrested, with charges to follow.
So when the news broke on July 3 that Najib Razak had been taken away by officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) from his private residence, Malaysians (and others) naturally responded in a variety of creative ways.
