Najib Paid Anwar's Prosecutor RM9.5 Million From 1MDB Slush Fund WHY? EXCLUSIVE REPORT

Najib Paid Anwar's Prosecutor RM9.5 Million From 1MDB Slush Fund WHY? EXCLUSIVE REPORT

According to the documents obtained by Sarawak Report, the controversial lawyer Muhammed Shafee Abdullah was one of the biggest individual recipients of money from Najib’s 1MDB slush fund accounts.
Shaffee, who is known to be an extremely close confidante of Najib and who was controversially appointed as the public prosecutor during the appeal against the acquittal of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on sodomy charges in 2014, received two payments.

11th September 2013 Najib paid him RM4,300,000 from his AmBank account no 2112022011906 and again on 17th February 2014 he received RM5,200,000 from the same account.  This account has been identified as having been funded by money stolen by the Prime Minister from the 1MDB subsidiary SRC, which had borrowed some RM4 billion from the civil service pension fund KWAP.
AG Apandi inadvertently confirmed that finding by waving MACC investigation papers showing the money trail into Account no 2112022011906 in January 2016, at the very press conference during which he announced that no wrong-doings had been committed and he was closing down investigations into 1MDB.

Later Apandi acknowledged the money had come from SRC, but chose to exonerate the Prime Minister because Najib had explained he hadn’t realised that this was where the millions had appeared from in his accounts.  No one has ever asked Najib (or recipients such as Shafee) for this public pension money to be returned.

What were the payments for?Anwar Ibrahim - jailed after Shafee lead a bizarre appeal against his earlier acquittal

Anwar Ibrahim – jailed after Shafee lead a bizarre appeal against his earlier acquittal

These payments came at extremely sensitive moments relating to Shafee and Najib and provoke immediate questions about why the Prime Minister was paying this particular lawyer such very large sums of illegitimate money?
Quite apart from the illegality of the source there are also potential glaring conflicts of interest.
The RM5,200,000 received in February 2014 came just a fortnight before the Appeal Court overturned an earlier acquittal of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on charges of alleged sodomy. Shafee Abdullah, a private lawyer, had been controversially appointed to a one-off role as the public prosecutor for this extraordinary appeal.
In the first place, for the prosecution to appeal an acquittal in a criminal case breaches all normal court practice and it should never have happened.  However, the involvement of Shafee in this untoward and plainly politically-motivated move against Najib’s most dangerous political opponent represented even further abuses of judicial process.
As Anwar’s defence team pointed out, to place someone from outside of the normal prosecution service into this high profile role at this point in the case is against established procedure. It also represented a clear conflict of interest, since Shafee himself is a known confidant of Najib.
And the conflict was worse than that, Anwar’s lawyers pointed out, because Shafee was himself a material witness, pivotal to the case for the defence, which was that Anwar was the victim of a conspiracy.

Why Shafee was considered a material witness

Two days before the alleged victim of Anwar, Mohd Saiful, pressed charges, the student was identified as having visited the home of Najib himself to discuss the entire matter.
Najib at first denied this fact. However, when photographs were produced he admitted meeting the student, but only to discuss his ‘career plans’.  Only after the alleged victim then broke under questioning and confessed he had discussed his allegations against Anwar with Najib did the Prime Minister admit that the discussion had taken place.
Shafee Abdullah has been proven to have been at Najib’s house at the same time.  However, the lawyer claims he was not part of the meeting between the Prime Minister and the student – a meeting where legal advice might be considered an obvious priority. Shafee said he was doing something else, somewhere else in the house. Anwar’s legal team contended that to the contrary he was advising the prime minister on handling the student, who went ahead to denounce Anwar two days later (after a further secret meeting with the Deputy Head of Police).
So, why was Najib paying Shafee such a huge sum of money in February 2014, at a time that this lawyer was supposedly contracted into a public role as a special prosecutor in by far the most high profile legal case of the period – a case in which Najib had a very strong interest in the outcome and in which Shafee himself was a material witness?
The Australian barrister Mark Trowell, who acted as an observer at the trial and then wrote a book about the case, has described the entire prosecution as a gross miscarriage of justice full of “glaring anomalies”. Shafee was at the centre of it, so why was Najib paying him over RM5.2 million?
March 7th 2014 a three man Appeal Court panel found Anwar guilty, overturning the judgement of the High Court the previous year in an astounding perversion of justice (normally an acquittal can never be appealed or reversed except in exceptional cases and through a complete re-trial).

Najib’s legal fixer

Anwar naturally appealed the shocking and irregular overturn by the Appeal Court of his earlier acquittal and once again Shafee was used to prosecute the case for the government through the Federal Court.  In a short hearing in early 2015 those Federal judges upheld the Appeal Court judgement, causing no surprise in Malaysia.
What did surprise even Shafee’s colleagues was what this legal eagle did next.  He embarked on a road show justifying the conduct of the shameful trial process and continuing to villify Anwar, now in jail. Shafee even went so far as to regail his listeners with details of intimate allegations that had specifically been barred from the court itself, thereby breaking the rules again in the poorest of taste.
Shafee then sued lawyers who censured this conduct through the Bar Council for defamation, but lost his case.
Such enthusiastic support for Najib, which so plainly goes beyond the objectivity of a supposedly neutral observer betrays what has in fact been a long association between the two men.
Texts which were released on line many years ago between the two men and which have never been denied show that Shafee offered his services to the beleaguered then Deputy PM in the aftermath of the discovery of his translator Altantuya’s body and the arrest of Najib’s bodyguards and his advisor and proxy Razak Baginda for her murder.
Shafee closely represented Najib as they worked to get Baginda off the hook and put all the blame for the crime on the two bodyguards, excluding all discussion of motive from the case.  So, no wonder his bias against Anwar was raised by his lawyers, since Shafee is widely regarded as Najib’s prime legal fixer in opposition circles.
The court dismissed such concerns.  However, the glaring question as to why Najib paid Shafee nearly RM10 million in the few months and weeks before that verdict remains.

Defence varsity students among 36 held over cadet's death
SERDANG: Thirty-six university students have been arrested in connection with the death of a navy cadet officer from the Malaysian National Defence University (UPNM).
It is learnt that the final year student, identified as 21-year-old Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain, was found with burn marks and bruises, in a 25th floor apartment here at around 8pm on Thursday.
It is believed that Zulfarhan Osman was still alive when friends rushed him into an ambulance.
However, Selangor CID chief Senior Asst Comm Fadzil Ahmat said the victim was pronounced dead at around 10pm at Hospital Serdang on Thursday.
It is believed that Zulfarhan Osman may have been a victim of bullying and was allegedly bound, beaten and burnt with an iron.
SAC Fadzil, however, declined to confirm or deny the circumstances of Zulfarhan Osman's death, saying only that it is an ongoing murder investigation.
Earlier on Friday, police and forensics teams went to the UPNM campus at the Sungai Besi army camp and arrested over 30 students.
"A total of 36 students, all male, aged 20 to 21, have been arrested. Thirty-two of them are from UPNM while four more are from UNITEN," said SAC Fadzil when contacted on Friday.
All of them have been remanded for a week until June 8.
"It is still an ongoing investigation. Please let us carry it out without everyone speculating," he said.
*********************************************************
Why are there so many bullying in schools, some leading to death?
Before this was Tahfiz school, the victim died but authorities and PDRM let the abuser free because of lack of evidence.  Me think the way investigation are done shows connection can bury concrete evidences leading to no case.
Then there is the case at the Police Cadet Academy where new students are treated like punching bags.
Religious schools are also trendy in bullying.  
Most of the cases involve the Malays.
Recently an MP showed his frustration that Malay youth on drugs are rising and there is no solution.
I told him there are solution but no one is concern enough to take action. He suggested I wait 6 months for him to get his power to change the Malays. What is another 6 months when I have waited 40 years. I will make sure he keeps his words.

The culture of bullying develops from young.
The education system in Malaysia is the best platform to groom bullies
The environment system provided by UMNO Government encourages bullying.
The funds provided by Najib Tun Razak and Tengku Adnan encourages the growing numbers of bullies.
The power given to wrong people to control others.
The game of Race and Religion encourage by politicians support bullying.
One setting example that is  now openly encourage and given  much publicity isTN50. TN50 is a platform to show that the UMNO Government is listening but in actual fact it is a publicity and marketing plan to promote just one person by the name of Najib Tun Razak the pariah man in time for GE14 to save his arse so that he can go into exile to another country instead of Sungei Buloh.
I am saddened that TN50 has gone down to its knee to the drug addicts so that they can get another RM10 million into their pockets.
Yes TN50 is about making money for certain people before the era of Najib comes to an end and they have only 6 months more to play with.  
TN50 should never make use of drug addicts for their publicity stunt.
Drug addicts need a better system to help them back to society.
So far TN50 has make five (5) people overnight millionaire.
How much has Najib given TN50?
RM32 million.  Not bad for starting the SLAP CULTURE.
*****************************************************
A first-of-its-kind TN50 dialogue session was held with 70 active drug users in Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur, last night.
Fauziah Abdullah, one of the few women at the session, stood up to speak. She has been drug dependent for 40 years.
“I am 52-years-old this year and I have no IC (identification card),” she said.
She lived on the streets when she was still in her teens after running away from her foster parents who used her as a maid, she explained. She has never met her real parents and thus has no access to any personal identification documents.
Fauziah started to tear and said she was too unwell to be speaking in front of a crowd. Moderator Mohammad Rizan Hassan gently egged her on.
“I have heart problems, asthma and chronic high blood pressure but I have trouble getting treatment because I have no IC,” she said before sitting down on the green and yellow tikar (mat) on the floor
Transformasi Nasional 2050 (TN50) has since the start of the year called upon Malaysians to share their aspirations for the future of the country.
More than 33,000 aspirations have been recorded so far from 13 TN50 townhall-style dialogue sessions held across the nation with university students, young professionals, government servants, even celebrities.
However, many other strata of the society have yet to be heard.
Unlike the big halls used at previous TN50 sessions, participants in yesterday’s session voiced their aspirations on the first floor of a drop-in centre for the drug-dependent and homeless.
There were no banners, no circular centre stage, no large television screens. No one wore head-mounted microphones...

Seorang pengawal keselamatan di Apartmen De Centrum di sini mendakwa, dia terdengar bunyi meraung dan bising dari sebuah unit di tingkat 25 apartmen tersebut, tempat sekumpulan pelajar Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) menyewa pada malam 31 Mei lalu.Bagaimanapun, pengawal keselamatan warga asing yang enggan dikenali itu berkata, dia tidak berbuat apa-apa kerana tidak menyangka bunyi bising itu merupakan kejadian dera ke atas Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain oleh sekumpulan pelajar lain.
“Saya cam beberapa pelajar yang menyewa di tingkat 25 apartmen tersebut kerana pernah menegur mereka supaya tidak membuat bising sebelum itu. “Namun begitu, semasa ditegur, pelajar berkenaan memberitahu mereka merupakan pelatih polis dan tahu akan peraturan yang ditetapkan,” katanya ketika ditemui di apartmen tersebut semalam.
Kronologi Ringkas:
Suspek2 tak puas hati dgn mangsa dan menuduh mangsa curi laptop (mangsa tak curi pun ikut ktrgn saksi).  Mangsa didapati dipukul menggunakan tali pinggang, getah paip dan penyangkut baju. termasuk didera menggunakan steam iron (80% badan melecur). Penderaan berlanjutan sehingga 2 hari. Keadaan mangsa merisaukan, suspek2 bawa mangsa ke klinik. Dlm masa yg sama menjaga mangsa di dlm dorm. Keadaan mangsa makin parah slps 2 minggu dan suspek ambil keputusan bawa mangsa ke Hospital Serdang tanpa pengetahuan pegawai. Sebelum ke hospital, singgah ke rumah kawan suspek yg merupakan pelajar Uniten. Mangsa meninggal di Hospital Serdang dan penangkapan mula dibuat terhadap 2 suspek yg hntr mangsa ke hospital. Penangkapan terus dilakukan dan didapati 30 suspek terlibat dan mereka merupakan satu skuad yg sama. (Pelajar2 Uniten juga ditahan kerana bersubahat) Menurut saksi, penderaan ramai2 dilakukan atas paksaan suspek2 utama.Setakat yg saya tahu utk pengetahuan semua. Sepupu perempuan saya dlm skuad yg sama yg ceritakan. (Skuad mereka dlm perjalanan ke kg. mangsa di JB).nick hazrul
Bomoh Diburu polis petik nama arwah curi leptop. Polis akan mendapatkan kete­rangan doktor sebuah klinik swasta dipercayai di Bangi, Selangor yang dikatakan me­rawat Pegawai Kadet Laut, Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain yang cedera parah akibat didera dengan seterika wap sebelum mangsa disahkan mening­gal dunia di Hospital Serdang malam kelmarin. Difahamkan, keterangan itu akan merungkai persoalan sama ada maklumat tular yang me­ngatakan mangsa telah mendapatkan rawatan sebanyak dua kali daripada doktor di klinik tersebut iaitu pada 27 dan 31 Mei lalu, benar atau sebaliknya.Jika benar mengapa doktor tersebut tidak menyarankan agar mangsa segera dihantar ke hospital walaupun menyedari kecederaan yang dialami parah sebaliknya menyuruh mangsa dibawa semula untuk rawatan susulan sehingga mangsa ak­hirnya meninggal dunia.
Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah (JSJ) Selangor, Senior Asisten Komisioner Fadzil Ahmat ketika dihubungi mengesahkan yang pihaknya akan memanggil doktor tersebut dalam masa terdekat bagi diambil keterangan.
Beliau bagaimanapun enggan mengulas mengenainya sebaliknya meminta semua pihaknya agar memberikan masa kepada polis untuk menjalankan siasatan. Ujarnya, pihaknya sedang menumpukan siasatan terhadap 36 suspek terdiri daripada 32 pelajar Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) dan empat pelajar Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten) yang kini direman sehingga Khamis depan bagi membantu siasatan. “Kita akan siasat semua kemungkinan termasuk ada suspek lain yang terlibat. Buat masa ini, kita tidak boleh mendedahkan maklumat kerana siasatan masih berjalan,” katanya ketika dihubungi di sini hari ini.
Dalam pada itu, ketika ditanya sama ada pihaknya mempunyai maklumat menge­nai bomoh yang dikatakan me­nuduh mangsa mencuri komputer riba hingga menyebabkannya didera, Fadzil memberitahu, pihak­nya ma­sih menyiasat dakwaan itu sebelum mengambil sebarang tindakan. “Masih terlalu awal untuk saya bercakap mengenai dakwaan itu kerana kita masih belum selesai ambil keterangan semua suspek,” ujarnya sambil memberitahu laporan awal bedah siasat telah diperoleh namun tidak dapat didedahkan buat masa ini. Kelmarin, Zulfarhan Osman, 21, penuntut tahun dua, jurusan Kejuruteraan elektrik UPNM disahkan meninggal dunia di Hospital Serdang selepas melecur teruk akibat dicederakan dengan seterika wap.
Susulan itu, sebanyak 36 penuntut berusia antara 20 dan 21 tahun direman selama seminggu bagi membantu siasatan berhubung kejadian berkenaan. alfatihah

Does the opposition want to lose?

June 6, 2017
Writer says with their public spats, opposition parties are hijacking their chances of victory despite having the advantage of opposing a deeply unpopular PM.Azmi-Sharom_pakatan_600By Azmi Sharom
Sometimes I wonder: does the opposition want to lose the next general election (GE14)?
Apart from the usual racist fear-mongering that Umno loves to indulge in, the latest example being the distasteful and utterly low class competition asking for essays on why Lim Kit Siang is racist; their favourite weapon to use against the opposition is to say that they are divided and not able to rule.
Obviously this is not accurate. Penang, Selangor and Kelantan are all in opposition hands and they have not collapsed. In fact, Penang and Selangor are doing quite well, despite the recent shenanigans of PAS.
In other words, the opposition has shown that they can rule. At least at the state level.
But recently, the claims of division appear to be accurate. Until today the opposition has not come up with a clear choice for prime minister. This is an important issue because when it comes to general elections, Malaysians like to be able to picture who their PM will be.
One thing is for sure, DAP and Amanah will not be putting forward a potential PM. DAP knows that most Malay voters are still paralyzed with insecurity, so much so that even if DAP was to put forward a Malay potential PM, most Malays will run screaming in terror.
The Malays will believe that anyone from DAP is really Chinese and they can’t accept a Chinese prime minister. Sad, but true.
Amanah won’t do it because they are small and humble.
So, that leaves PKR and PPBM.
There are sounds that some want Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stand for elections and be the possible next PM. PKR seems adamant that they can make Anwar Ibrahim PM if they win, even though he is in jail and there are a host of legal obstacles in their way.
And there have been very public spats about this. Namely between PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli and DAP’s Zaid Ibrahim.
I want to tell these politicians one thing. Don’t think you are so big and important and popular. Don’t think for one second that your public quarrels are simply each of you standing up for your principles.
Let me tell you: this kind of thing sickens the voters. Even those who would vote opposition and those who are young.
While you publicly spat about who should be PM you are alienating an electorate who are hungry for change. You are in actuality hijacking the chance of victory despite having the advantage of opposing a deeply unpopular PM and government.
Why? Because you want to play your own egotistical political games.
I mean, seriously, the only choices that the opposition can come up with is an old man who laid the foundations for all the trouble we are in and another old man who is (fairly or unfairly) in jail?
There is no one else that you can all agree on?
That really is pathetic and makes Barisan Nasional’s criticisms of you seem utterly valid.
There is not much time left before GE14, who knows if they can get their act together.

Mr IGP: My questions of concern

$
0
0

Dear inspector-general of police (IGP), I am in a WhatsApp group with 11 members; all of whom are credible Malaysians and most are Royal Military College-trained professionals of various colours and shades.
A few are NGO professionals, but all of them are Christians. To date, none of them believe you or police updates about Pastor Raymond Koh’s whereabouts.
I had canvassed concerns from theSun’s lead stories and theories (since the 100-day mark) about why Pastor Raymond is still missing.
To us, the police appear super active to arrest the whistle-blowers on various human rights issues, but they appear “slow” to keep the Pastor Raymond’s family fully updated on real issues and concerns. Therefore, I cannot blame his wife and mother for speaking up.
Is not the family our most important victim, or do you lack compassion to even understand such family values?
My personal view: even if Pastor Raymond was involved in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others, or in rather insensitive ways; are not the family members still the primary victim?
Or, do you honestly think it is the state which is the real victim, Mr IGP? What was the real criminal offence here, may I ask? Was it not an organized abduction gang who completed the crime?
Therefore my question to you: How is the police keeping the wife, Susanna Liew and children fully and transparently informed? Do they not have a human right to know as equal citizens and family?
Or, do you really believe, as was the case with Indira Gandhi’s children, that you are confused about their civil and legal rights?
Please Mr IGP, tell us what you do and do not know.
Our civil police force
Ours is not a police state, nor an Islamic state with a consequential religious police force. Ours is both a neutral public service and a secular state defined by a Federal Constitution! Please read my previous column here.
Our police is a secular public force empowered by the Federal Constitution through a rule of law principle for enforcing criminal law violations in public spaces.
Questions about “syariah law enforcement” was never considered or discussed in either of the original Constitutional Commissions. Such enforcement was therefore never a criminal offence; the police cannot help such enforcement.
Syariah enforcement can only be classified as moral, ethical, and spiritual codes of conduct. It is never a criminal offence against the state or the citizens of Malaysia. Even more importantly, can the state get involved in all such “moral police em-courage-ment?”.
How different is using the “such an educational force through brainwashing,” usually found under any communist regime?
Therefore, while you abdicated this responsibility of enforcing the High Court judgment in the Indira Gandhi case; in any other secular state jurisdiction you would have been charged with contempt of court!
The High Court decision was clear and the Malaysian IGP only pleaded ignorance or ignosis. The only valid reason to accept such an excuse is personal ignorance or understanding of Quranic teaching on such moral, ethical, and spiritual matters!
That raises an even more pertinent question; is not the post of IGP in fact a public officer of the state? How can he choose to selectively enforce some laws as a matter of personal conscience?
Actually, recently in US courts of law, they faced a similar situation when a Christian clerk “refused to register and marry a same sex couple” because it was against her conscience! The administration simply assigned another officer to undertake that “questionable” assignment.
My questions for IGP
Mr IGP, I used to take my National Institute of Public Administration (INTAN) students to listen to lectures by the late C.C. Too who was our counter-intelligence police expert in the early 1970s.
From what I heard and understood, we have one of the most excellent groups of trained people for all such related police work globally.
The Special Branch network and connections on the ground are equally brilliant and they are extremely effective at what they do. Furthermore, technology helps make all that work much easier today.
Therefore, below are my questions to our IGP and the police:
  1. When the Koh family first met with the police task force, they were shown clear pictures of SUVs exiting the toll gates and the number plates were visible. So, the consequent question and issues are: were these number plates false? Did JPJ have records of any such number plates and if so registered vehicles? Who did they belong to; since they look like imported ones?
     
  2. When such video-capture technology was first used in a Korean traffic court case and ruled inadmissible by courts, the producers of the technology improved its capability to double capture both shots; the face (front and side views) of the driver and details of the car. So, why is it really that there are no further leads related to this search?
     
  3. If I am not mistaken, the family were also shown photo-fits of your suspect from sketch drawings of Police investigations on the ground. Obviously, the police artist used some perceptions to capture the approximate visible features for their photo-fit. Were there then really no other leads on this matter? Why not and why was this picture not advertised publicly? Do we not need foreign expertise to help us resolve this case with DNA capabilities?
So Mr IGP, you can simply assume that I respect historic police capabilities and you did demonstrate it in the high-profile North Korean case recently. If I buy into such a model of understanding, explanation, and I believe them to be true, I can then only conclude what is not healthy.
Mr IGP, I conclude with the following: Truth matters to any family, as that is the only way they can find final resolution on any such matter. One father and husband who is a citizen is missing in action. If the Police cannot find that missing person there are only three obvious conclusions:
  • There is no capability and it is a matter of competence; please then declare this and get outside help.
     
  • There is a lack of political will (currently) for reasons unknown to the rest of us; those reasons need to be made known even if that requires a longer time for full resolution; and
     
  • If the IGP and his police officers have no real leads and cannot resolve this case, they need to declare that to the nation, and I think the only honourable thing for the holder of the appointment is to resign and let others help find out the real explanation.
Citizens in a secular state who pay taxes for the salaries of public officials have a right to information and for that fact, two states of the Federation have passed such a right to information law.
Media and columnists like me, or international lobby groups will not close one eye on this matter.
Therefore my advice to the IGP is to please own up and share all information on the above matter so all Malaysians can know truth about such matters and not rely on rumours or alternative pet theories.

LOTS OF MALAYSIANS IN PANAMA PAPERS WHO HAVE NOT PAID THEIR TAXES

Some of the most notable names among the individuals and entities are Kamaluddin Abdullah, son of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi; Mirzan Mahathir, son of Mahathir Mohamad; Mohamad Nazifuddin Mohamad Najib, son of Najib Razak; Mahathir’s brother-in-law, Mohammed Hashim Mohammed Ali; Sultan Ibrahim Ismail of Johor; Abdul Aziz bin Tawfiq Ayman, husband of Bank Negara Governor Zeti Akhatar Aziz.
Asia Sentinel
At least 1,784 Malaysian individuals or master clients – including the Sultan of Johor and the sons of three prime ministers – and another 517 offshore entities are among the 215,000 names found in the Panama Papers, the 11.5 million documents taken from the Panamanian law firm of Mossack Fonseca & Co.
The files were made public on April 3 by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which worked with more than 370 journalists from 76 countries for more than two years to identify the individuals and companies with hidden accounts. Mossack Fonseca, with branches in Miami, Zurich, Hong Kong and more than 35 other countries, is considered one of the world’s top creators of shell companies.
The release of the names, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, the father of British Prime Minister David Cameron, Argentine President Mauricio Macri and hundreds of other notable figures including athletes and actors, has set off a storm across the world, forcing the resignation of Iceland’s prime minister and giving new impetus to legislation in the US requiring the beneficial owners of shell companies to be named.
Mossack Fonseca Says No Laws Broken
A Mossack Fonseca spokesman has denied any attempt to defraud, saying the law firm provides services that “are widely available and commonly used worldwide. It is legal and common for companies to establish commercial entities in different jurisdictions for a variety of legitimate reasons, including conducting cross-border mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcies, estate planning, personal safety, restructuring and pooling of investment capital from different jurisdictions in neutral legal and tax regimes that does not benefit or disadvantage any one investor.”
The documents, according to the Organized Crime and Corruption Project,  cover nearly 40 years, from 1977 through the end of 2015, allowing a “never-before-seen view inside the offshore world — providing a day-to-day, decade-by-decade look at how dark money flows through the global financial system, breeding crime and stripping national treasuries of tax revenues.”
The ICIJ project is careful to say that ownership of an offshore company is no evidence that a crime has been committed. However, the fact that 2,300 Malaysian individuals or entities of various hues and aromas maintain accounts through Mossack Fonseca is an indication of the massive capital outflows that have plagued Malaysia for decades.
According to the Global Financial Integrity NGO, the country ranks fifth in the world, behind such giants as China, Russia, India and Mexico, for illicit capital flight.  Nearly half a trillion US dollars – US$418.54 billion – left the country between 2004 and 2013, the last year for which figures have been recorded.  Malaysia remained in fifth place for the entire 10-year period.
Outflows, which hit US$48 billion in 2013, are believed to have picked up as the country’s political situation has deteriorated over the past two years. While central bank reserves are healthy, they have been falling steadily for months, from US$136 billion in July 2014 to US$95.63 billion today, equivalent to 6.8 months of imports, according to the World Bank.
And, while decisions to move money overseas may not be illegal, they deprive the country itself of funds for investment and development. Some of these outflows are likely to be non-Malay flight capital – mostly Chinese – which prefers expensive but seemingly secure assets in Australia, the US or even London to the higher returns which ought to be available in younger, faster growing Malaysia although post-colonial rhetoric aside, plenty of the Datuks, Tuns and Tan Sris retain a love for London.
Among the Names
Some of the most notable names among the individuals and entities are Kamaluddin Abdullah, head of Feldspar Holdings and son of former Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi; Mirzan Mahathir, son of Mahathir Mohamad; and Mohamad Nazifuddin Mohamad Najib, son of the current prime minister, Najib Razak.  Mahathir’s brother-in-law, Mohammed Hashim Mohammed Ali, the onetime head of Malaysia’s military.
Others include Sultan Ibrahim Ismail of Johor; Abdul Aziz bin Tawfiq Ayman, husband of Bank Negara Governor Zeti  Akhatar Aziz;  Muhammad Muhammad Taib, former Rural and Regional Development Minister and UMNO information chief, who since has joined the opposition Parti Keadilan Rakyat; and Lim Kok Thay, the current managing director of Genting Group; Abdul Halim Harun, former chief executive of UMW Holdings, one of Malaysia’s biggest conglomerates; Sharifuddin Hizan Zainal Abidin, former Group Managing Director of Felda Holdings Bhd; and Khoo Kay Peng, one of Malaysia’s richest tycoons and head of MUI Group.
The list also includes the late Hussain Najadi, the founder of what was first known as Arab Malaysian Bank, later Ambank, who was murdered under mysterious circumstances in 2013  after complaining, his son has charged, about corruption in the United Malays National Organisation. Police said he had been killed in a land dispute. The late Tan Tiong Hock, the former Malaysian Chinese Association secretary general, who died in 1985, is also on the list, which can be found here.
The flow of currency into the Panama entities is hardly the only destination for money fleeing Malaysia. As Asia Sentinel reported in 2013, estate agency Jones Lang & Wootton reported that in 2012 Malaysians accounted for 17 percent of all buyers of new top-of-the-line central London dwellings.

Kes Buli Perkara Biasa, Ramai Kena Liwat, Oral Seks Tidak Didedahkan- Bekas Pensyarah UPNMKes Buli Perkara Biasa, Ramai Kena Liwat, Oral Seks Tidak Didedahkan- Bekas Pensyarah UPNM“Ini sudah menjadi budaya tentera, budaya buli dan raging yang dibawa oleh British diwarisi sehingga hari ini dalam tentera kita.”

“Budaya ini kononnya untuk mengajar setiap anggota tentera itu menjadi seorang yang menurut perintah dan taat kepada ketua mereka atau orang yang lebih lama dalam perkhidmatan.”
Demikian pendedahan sumber yang memetik daripada laporan Malaysia Gazette berhubung kes penderaan di kalangan pelajar Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM).
Menurut sumber yang juga bekas pensyarah universiti tersebut berkata, kes buli atau raging sememangnya sudah menjadi budaya tentera yang diwarisi semasa zaman era British dan ia kemudiaan diteruskan sehinggalah hari ini.
Tegasnya, apa yang berlaku itu bukan suatu yang luar biasa cuma ia tidak didedahkan, cuma berbeza kali ini ia melibatkan kematian dalam keadaan yang kejam.
Dalam kes penderaan Pegawai Kadet Laut Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain, ia merupakan kesan daripada budaya tentera yang masih diwarisi dan ia kini diterapkan pula dalam universiti yang melatih bakal-bakal tentera ini, kata sumber.
“Aduan-aduan pelajar kena liwat, oral seks dan banyak lagi itu sudah menjadi perkara biasa.”
“Cumanya perkara ini disembunyikan dan tidak didedahkan,” katanya.
Tambahnya lagi, kebanyakan kes ini tidak dilapor dan didedah kerana pelajar sudah diasuh supaya taat kepada perintah dan tidak menceritakan apa yang berlaku walaupun kepada ibu bapa mereka sendiri.
Zulfarhan Osman, 21, meninggal dunia di Hospital Serdang, 10 malam kelmarin dengan kesan lebam dan melecur pada badan.
Kematiannya disiasat mengikut Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan dan polis mereman 36 penuntut Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia dan Universiti Tenaga Nasional selama tujuh hari bermula semalam bagi membantu siasatan

Gov't target: 125,000 Quran memorisers by 2050

The government targets to produce 125,000 "huffaz" or Quran memorisers across the country by 2050 through the National Transformation 2050 (TN50) policy, says Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said the target was important for Malaysia so as to build a generation capable of developing a peaceful, harmonious, prosperous country and blessed by the Almighty.
In this regard, he said the huffaz being produced needed to be moulded to become leaders and professional workers such as doctors and engineers, and not just to be imam or religious teachers.
"With 125,000 huffaz as professional workers, insyaAllah (God willing) one day even Cabinet ministers and the PM (prime minister) as well could be Quran memorisers to that they would provide better leadership."
Ahmad Zahid said this when opening the "Inculcation of Noble Values During Ramadan" programme in Ayer Keroh, Malacca with Defence Minister Hishammudin Hussein and Melaka Chief Minister Idris Haron also present.
New policy
Ahmad Zahid said to realise the aspiration, the government would strive to ensure that the National Tahfiz Education Policy (DPTN) could be implemented to streamline the education system in this country.
However, he stressed that the implementation of the DPTN nationwide required the consent of all the Sultans, Rulers and Yang Dipertua Negeri as the Islamic religion came under their jurisdiction.
Hence, Ahmad Zahid who is also Home Minister, suggested that all operators of tahfiz centres register with the Malaysia Islamic Development Department (Jakim) in order to create a more conducive teaching and learning environment.
"I hope that any tahfiz centre which has not registered (with Jakim) to do so... this is not because we want to penalise but to assist them.
"(This proves) the federal government's concern towards religious educational institutions and it is committed to helping them so that the position of Islam can be enhanced," he said.
Putrajaya backs Malacca's plans
Ahmad Zahid said uniformity in various aspects of students' welfare including safety level, their health, diet and (disciplinary) punishment at the tahfiz centres was necessary so that there would be complete monitoring.
"InsyaAllah, I will ensure that the National Tahfiz Education Policy will be implemented so that there is coordination as I don't want to see tahfiz centres not receiving aid after a fire outbreak and bully cases in such centres," he said.
The deputy prime minister also said that the federal government fully supported the Melaka government's plan to implement the DPTN through a motion that was passed at the state assembly sitting today.
"We will realise this together and I am confident that other states will do the same," he said.
At the state assembly sitting yesterday, Idris had tabled a motion to implement the DPTN in the state and it was passed today with 23 assemblymen supporting, four abstaining while another, opposition whip Khoo Poay Tiong (DAP-Ayer Keroh) was suspended from attending today's proceeding.

*************************************************************************
THIS IS WHAT I FEAR THE MOST.
AN AMBITIOUS MAN TO TURN MALAYSIA INTO AN ISLAMIC FREAK NATION.
TO SUPPORT AND FUND TAHFIZ EDUCATION IS THE MOST DANGEROUS THING A GOVERNMENT CAN DO AND WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN, BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WANTS COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CITIZENS.
ONE OF THE MAIN INGREDIENTS WHY PEOPLE SEEK DRUG IS BECAUSE THEY ARE FILL WITH RACE AND RELIGION DAILY.
THERE IS NO MOTIVATION TO DEVELOPMENT THE MIND.  READING QURAN AND LEARNING RELIGIOUS STUDIES CAN LEAD TO HATRED TOWARDS OTHER RACES AND RELIGION.
WHY ARE THE MALAYS STUPID, LAZY, NOT CREATIVE NOR ARE THEY MOTIVATED.  THEY RELY ON OTHERS TO DO THE WORK FOR THEM.
LOOK AT OUR GOVERNMENT SERVANTS, THEY CANNOT MULTI TASK, THEY ONLY WORK WHEN TOLD TO AND THAT EVEN IS EVEN IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY NEED SOMEONE TO TELL THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.
GO TO ANY GOVERNMENT CLINIC OR HOSPITAL. EVERY STAFF IS GIVEN ONE PARTICULAR DUTY.  ANYTHING ELSE, THEY WILL JUST TELL YOU IT IS NOT THEIR JOB.
I ONCE WENT TO PUTRAJAYA TO SEE AN OFFICER REGARDING A CERTAIN MATTER. AS THE OFFICER WAS STILL IN THE MEETING I SPOKE TO ANOTHER OFFICER ABOUT WHY THERE WAS A NEED TO WRITE REPORT MANUALLY WHEN WORK IS NOW PAPERLESS. THE ANSWER WAS I DON'T KNOW, I JUST FOLLOW AS ORDER. ON ANOTHER QUESTION  IF EVERYDAY THERE IS MEETING TO ATTEND, THEN WHEN DO YOU ACTUALLY WORK AND THE REPLY WAS SHOCKING. WE DON'T GO OUT TO WORK, WE JUST WRITE REPORTS,ATTEND MEETING AND HELP OUT THE BOSS IN HIS HOME WHEN THERE IS FUNCTION. WE RELY ON OTHERS FOR FEEDBACK.  MEANING THAT THE OFFICER I AM GOING TO MEET JUST HANDLE WHAT IS WRITTEN ON HIS FILE WITHOUT A CLUE TO THE MATTER. AND THAT IS HOW PUTRAJAYA WORKS.
MY PARENTS WERE EX GOVERNMENT SERVANTS.  DURING THEIR TIME, WORK WERE SYSTEMATICALLY. ANY STAFF COULD FIND THE FILE WITHIN SECONDS AND THEY CAN ANSWER EVERY QUESTIONS THAT EVERY TOM, DICK AND HARRY ASK.  GOVERNMENT SERVANTS THEN KNEW  EACH AND EVERY FAMILY MEMBERS OF THEIR COLLEAGUES. THEY KNOW WHO DID NOT COME TO WORK, WHO IS SICK, JUST GOT MARRIED, JUST HAD A SON, BOUGHT A CAR ETC.  THE HEAD OF DEPARTMENT KNOWS ALL THE STAFF NAME IN HIS DEPARTMENT.  
TODAY HEAD OF DEPARTMENT ONLY KNOWS NOT MORE THAN TWO PERSON IN HIS DEPARTMENT AND HAS NO CLUE WHO ARE THE REST.
TAR WAS A CARING MAN WHO KNEW  EVERY STAFF MEMBER NAME AND PEOPLE HE MET.  FROM VILLAGERS TO FOREIGN OFFICERS.
TRY ASKING NAJIB, ZAHID AND THE REST IN THE CABINET HOW MANY STAFF THEY HAVE AND WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES.  NONE OF THEM KNOWS.
I ASKED PAK LAH ONCE WHEN HE WAS THE PM, HOW MANY STAFF HE HAS AND HE REPLIED I DON'T KNOW.
THIS IS WHY MALAYSIA CANNOT DEVELOP WHEN THE LEADERS ARE NOT CARING EXCEPT WANTING TO CONTROL THE PEOPLE MIND AND BODY WITH RACE AND RELIGION.
WHEN THE BODY AND MIND ARE NOT STIMULATED, IT LOOKS FOR EXCITEMENT IN SEX, INCEST, DRUGS, BULLY, GAMBLING, KILLING, STEALING, RACING AND MENTAL SICKNESS.
TODAY EVERY 10 (TEN) MALAYS ONE MEET, 9 (NINE) ARE EITHER INTO DRUGS, INCEST, SEX, GAMBLING, BULLY, KILLING, STEALING, RACING OR SUFFER FROM MENTAL SICKNESS.
I TELL YOU ZAHID HAMIDI IS NOT RIGHT FOR HIS POSITION NOR IS HE FIT TO BE PM.
GOD HELP US IF HE DOES BECOME PM OF MALAYSIA.
WE WILL BE WORSE OFF THAN THE PEOPLE IN ACEH.

The killers must be send to JAIL FOR LIFE

How Corrupt Is Malaysia’s Prime Minister?

“This is for Allah…” The hijacking of Islam.

$
0
0

There are five words which some of us dread hearing and they are not, “I don’t love you anymore”.
The five words which we do not want to hear, are “In the name of Allah”.
These words, or words to that effect are usually shouted by Islamic terrorists before they plunge a knifeinto you, start a shooting spree, detonate an explosive devicebehead someone or drive a truck into innocent crowds.

MISSING THE COLLECTIVE CONDEMNATION FROM CLERICS 

World leaders, including our PM, have condemned the recent killings by Islamic terrorists; but did our Islamic clerics, as a COLLECTIVE, criticise these murders?
Why have Malaysian muftis and religious leaders kept quiet?
Do they approve of the killings?
The whole world is looking at the Muslim community and saying tut tut tut…Their preachers did not express outrage that Allah’s name had been used to kill indiscriminately.
Do our religious leaders think that their power over the brethren and rakyat will be diminished if they denounced these killings? More importantly, are they afraid of losing political power?
Did you hear any condemnation from Harussani, the camel loving Perak Mufti, or the Jekyll-and-Hyde Perlis mufit Dr Maza who cannot decide if he is a wahabi or a more moderate preacher, or the Pahang mufti, Abdul Rahman Osman, who outraged a nation when he urged the killing of kafir harbis.
It appears that they are only concerned about dictating how we live our lives. Nothing is done about weeding-out the extremists among us. 

MODERATE MUSLIMS LOOK AWAY TO PROTECT THEIR REPUTATIONS

Moderate Muslims will not speak out. They don’t want their neighbours to think they are insulting Islam.
Do the sanctimonious Muslims think that the killings are perfectly acceptable? Have they lost their values and their morality? Do they say nothing because it is mostly non-Muslim lives which are lost?
What is their reaction when Muslims kill other Muslims?”

IMPOTENT WITH FEAR

We live in fear of bigots who rule how we dress, where we eat, what we eat, how we bring up our kids, what games we play, what hobbies we indulge in, and the music we listen to. 
Nip extremism in the bud. For starters, people like PAS leader, Nasaruddin Hassan Tantawi, ISMA president Abdullah Zaik Abd Rahman, and the Pahang mufti should be severely punished. 
Our leaders are impotent with fear. They are afraid to censure  Muslims with extremist views because they do not want to be seen insulting Islam. They don’t want to lose political power.
Political parties and the Home minister ban events of other religions. These intolerant views are part of being an extremist.
We must acknowledge the link between Islamic extremism and terrorist attacks.
If you are Muslim, seize back your religion from the extremists.
Remember that it is NOT religion which breeds terrorists. It is politics.

Ah Long Car Park in Taman Maluri

What happens when you give your car as collateral to a loan.  Will the person who takes your car park it somewhere safe or just leave it around.

Long ago, Ah Long and those working with Banks and Finance companies park the vehicles they have taken possession of and hide them in shopping complexes.  Today car parks are too expensive so the next best thing to do is to park them in housing estate where it is not noticeable and free.

One car has been parked beside my house for the last 10 - 12 years, then two years ago a motor bike was parked there, last year just after Hari Raya four cars were added in and then sometime in March another car was parked there. This has created inconvenience to the residents in Jalan Wira Dua, Taman Maluri.  Most times we had to park our cars on the main road because everyone is home.

Complaints were make to Police and DBKL.  As usual no action were taken. For the past three weeks I have disturb an officer by the name of Man at DBKL Titiwangsa Office.  I took pictures etc.  Finally when DBKL did take action, the syndicate quickly remove three (3) cars that did not have road tax and replace them with cars that have road tax that will expire soon.  All these were done within 5 mins.

I am very suspicious how the syndicate knew that DBKL was about to take action and all the exchange of cars were done in 5 mins.

I am complaining again and this time I am putting it on the internet, hoping that finally either the police or DBKL wake up.

IN THE MEANTIME WHILE WAITING FOR THE TURTLE TO TURN UP, ANYONE INTERESTED IN FREE CARS PLEASE COME TO JALAN WIRA DUA, TAMAN MALURI.


The number plates are PCW7779, WCJ1833, BDP9101 and WKC5413.

The previous cars are -




THESE CARS CAN BE LOCATED AROUND TAMAN MALURI.  FEEL FREE TO TAKE THEM.




Zahid talking about his own obsession with Zakir Naik

$

Muslims have been reminded not to be extremely obsessed with "individuals" because this can affect their faith in Islam.
Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said extreme obsession in practising Islam and the pillars of the religion are highly demanded by Islam.
"However, being extremely obsessive with 'individuals' other than Prophet Muhammad and parents can affect the faith of Muslims," he said at a programme to inculcate pure Islamic values at Masjid Al-Mizan, Kempas, near Johor Baru today.
The home minister said misinterpretation of the Quran and the Sunnah and going against the consensus of Muslim scholars could also lead to extreme obsession.
“This can be seen by the emergence of obsessed groups or cults. Such obsession can lead to things like harakiri in Japanese culture and suicide bombing in the name of jihad or holy war.
“As such, it is unfair to blame others of Islamophobia.”
Islamophobia among the non-Muslims came about because they misinterpret Islam based on the action of some Muslims who destroyed the good image of Islam.
As such, the desire of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to see a moderate Malaysia should always be supported.
Zahid said in the spirit of harmony and plurality of religions and races in the country, he hopes that the matter could be realised.
He then led magrib prayers after breaking fast with some 1,500 home ministry staff and 100 orphans and the poor in Kempas.
Also present were Defence Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, Johor Menteri Besar Mohamed Khaled Nordin and Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamad.

The new silk road: Dancing with dragons?

June 5, 2017
Malaysia-China relations are certainly beginning to look like the relationship between predator and prey.china-dragon-1By Dennis Ignatius
Dr M Bakri Musa, the California-based commentator, author, blogger and surgeon, once remarked that dragons don’t look for dancing partners but for prey. Malaysia-China relations are certainly beginning to look like the relationship between predator and prey; not because of China’s strength but because of our weakness, not because they are better at pursuing their national interests but because we seem to be neglecting our own.
The lure of PRC money
Our culture of corruption and political chicanery has finally caught up with us.
The lure of PRC money and political support has proven too irresistible. We are trading away our sovereignty one asset at a time while massively indebting our nation with projects of dubious value.
They keep calling it “investment” but it is mostly PRC government loans, the kind that is extended to clients and cronies to build projects that serve PRC interest, with PRC management, PRC technology, PRC products, and PRC labour.
A few on both sides will, of course, reap unimaginable profits; generations of Malaysians will struggle to pay it back. It might be win-win for some but it’s grand larceny for Malaysian taxpayers. It’s a get-rich scheme perpetrated on a national scale.
Fortunately, the nation is waking up to the duplicity that is being foisted upon us. More and more questions are being asked and answers demanded, as it should be. In their greed to sign off on as many projects as possible while they still can, they might have awoken the ire of a nation long accustomed to corruption, malfeasance and being taken for granted.
Has it come too late? Only time will tell.
The sell-out continues
In the meantime, the sell-out of national interests, national assets and national sovereignty continues unabated. A high-powered 35-member delegation from China is currently in town hoping to finalise a string of deals in preparation for the visit of President Xi Jiping later this year.
Perhaps they also see the writings on the wall, the rising disquiet of the people, and want to put in concrete as much as possible before the people decide that enough is enough.
Reports suggest that China is exerting pressure (not that it is needed) to secure major contracts and deals that will benefit China but impoverish Malaysia for years to come. Included in the list are the construction of three new ports – the Melaka Gateway port (RM43 billion), Carey Island port (RM200 billion) and the Bagan Datoh port (RM30 billion).
Ports galore
The Bagan Datoh port, which was only mooted a few months ago, also includes the construction of a RM30 billion pipeline that will cut across the Peninsular to another new port terminal in Bachok, Kelantan.
Thus far we have seen no feasibility studies, cost-benefit analysis or other data to justify any of these mega projects.
And this comes on the heels of the RM12.8 billion Kuala Linggi International Port (which will service the oil and gas industry) and the RM6.3 billion Penang Port expansion project, both of which also involve China.
The Kuala Linggi port project was approved despite serious environmental reservations; such is the power of the China lobby.
No other country would contemplate building so many new and expensive ports at the same time, all in close proximity to one another, along a short stretch of coastline that has already more than sufficient port capacity.
How many mega-ports does a small country like ours need? What are China’s longer-term plans for these ports along the strategic Malacca Straits? Will we end up having to lease these ports to China for 99 years as in the days when colonial powers owned concessions and enclaves along China’s coast?
Funding China’s ambitions
As for the Bagan Datoh-Bachok pipeline, although it is being touted as serving the “mutual security interests” of both countries, it looks geared to ensuring China’s energy security more than anything else.
China has built similar pipelines across Myanmar to Kunming, across Pakistan to Kashgar, and is also discussing with Thai authorities a pipeline across the Kra Isthmus for similar strategic reasons.
It’s one thing if China is paying for all these projects but does it make sense for Malaysia to borrow from China to build projects that would enhance China’s energy security and advance China’s interests in the region?
Are we now to pay for our own subjugation?
The fact that the high-powered Chinese delegation that is currently in town to finalise all these projects is being led by China’s Public Security Minister indicates that these projects are being driven by political rather than purely economic goals, but that appears to be lost on our policy makers in their eagerness for more and more PRC-financed projects.
And if that’s not enough, the Finance Ministry Secretary-General will soon be heading to Beijing to plead for yet more PRC money for the RM160 billion (gross development value) Bandar Malaysia project and who knows what else.
Watchmen on the walls
In the light of the apparent abdication of responsibility by those charged with protecting the public interest, it falls to the public to become watchmen on the walls, to monitor all publicly-funded projects, to ask questions and demand answers, and to vote accordingly at the next elections.
It is also incumbent on our academic institutions and think-tanks, our economists and financial experts, our foreign policy specialists and the independent media to get involved to a much greater extent than they have thus far in reviewing, analysing and assessing the many aspects of our relations with China.
They owe it to their country, at this critical juncture in its history, to speak truth to power and help citizens make informed judgments about what is going on.
China has undoubtedly a great deal to offer Malaysia and will always figure prominently in all our economic plans; it is, after all, our largest, most important economic partner. Common sense, however, dictates that when dealing with such a behemoth, it is always better to err on the side of caution, particularly when so many vultures are looking to feast at the expense of the nation.
The transparency smell test
To ensure that our nation’s interests are safeguarded, the public must insist on minimum governance standards for all publicly-funded projects. This includes full transparency, maximum local and minimum foreign participation at all levels of the project, priority for local procurement of equipment and raw materials, and local control and management.
Any project that does not meet the transparency smell test must automatically be deemed suspect and against the best interests of our nation. Any political party or politician that endorses or participates in dubious projects should be deemed to have failed the nation and be denied our vote.
And that also goes for the DAP-run Penang state government which is now reportedly looking to finance projects with PRC loans.
And finally, we must oppose China’s increasing participation in our domestic politics. China’s political involvement and the slush funds that are often derived from megaprojects distort our electoral process and further diminish our already fraying democracy.
Again, any political party or politician that seeks the support of a foreign government to win political office should be deemed to have betrayed their commitment to the nation and should not be supported.
The price of neglect
In the course of writing this four-part series, I have received much feedback from many Malaysians. Some have viewed it as anti-China, even anti-Chinese, while others saw it as anti-government. Still others responded on the basis of ethnic perspectives, seeing the whole issue in the context of the Malay-Chinese divide that sadly exists in our country.
Those are the games that the puppet masters want us to play while they carry out their schemes unhindered.
What is necessary for our nation’s survival, however, is for each one of us to carefully consider what is going on in our nation today – the increased borrowing for dubious projects which taxpayers will have to pay for, the massive potential for corruption, the growing control and influence that is being ceded to China – and demand answers as well as transparency and accountability.
Careful scrutiny of important issues cannot hurt; neglect might just cost us our independence and our freedom. And as for dancing with dragons, forget it; it will be a long time before we are ready for that.
