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.

This epic tweet, which gained over 1,500 retweets as of 6pm on July 3, spoke poetically about how the arrest proves that anything is possible.

There were Tinder memes:

Others wondered what Najib's wife, Rosmah Mansoor, was doing in the wake of his arrest.
