It's just bad timing.  

I seriously don't think that this issue of misappropriation of fund is exclusive to Shahrizat and family.  I think it has been happening since Adams and UMNO members have been squandering money from the Rakyat who they claim Diutamakan for many donkey years.  Shahrizat (and Khir Toyo) was unfortunately made the black sheep for the upcoming elections. 

My money is your money

Ta daaa...the cat's outta the bag (in case you don't know it already, duh!).

What would you expect from the powers that be when even the clerk will ask for "duit kopi" should we want to get the time of day from the officer he/she answers to?  Then the under table money continues up the ladder to the executive, senior executive, junior management, senior management and even the private secretary before finally arriving to the door of the Minister.  By the time you arrive to destination, you've blown your budget up to 250k minimum...certainly you cannot expect less from our masters, right?
