UMNO itu parti politik, bukan bangsa Melayu...

Melayu itu lebih besar dari UMNO. UMNO hanya sebuah parti politik yang disokong oleh bahagian yang lebih kecil dari keseluruhan orang Melayu. UMNO patut menerima realiti ini.

RSN Rayer ialah seorang ADUN di Pulau Pinang dari kawasan Sri Delima. Dalam tahun 2014, dia telah menyebut perkataan 'UMNO Celaka' dalam dewan undangan negeri Pulau Pinang. Dia dihadapkan ke mahkamah atas pertuduhan menghasut dengan menuturkan istilah UMNO Celaka.

Beberapa hari yang lalu, Rayer dibebaskan dari pertuduhan tersebut tanpa perlu membela diri dalam  mahkamah seterusnya.

Hakim memutuskan bahawa istilah UMNO celaka bukanlah hasutan. UMNO bukannya bangsa tapi sebuah parti politik. Sama seperti parti lain yang dianggotai oleh bangsa2 khusus tapi bukanlah bangsa itu sendiri.

Jadi kalau kita sebut UMNO celaka - ianya bukan menghasut. Kerana ia tidak bermakna Melayu celaka. DAP sebagai contoh, selalu disebut sebagai DAPig, tapi jika orang UMNO sebut demikian, seperti yang mereka pekik selalu, itu bukanlah menghasut. Kerana yang disebut babi ialah DAP - parti politik,  bukan bangsa Cina.

Kepada orang Melayu signifiken keputusan mahkamah ialah UMNO itu ialah sebuah parti bukan satu bangsa. Maka apabila ada orang sana sini menjaja bahawa UMNO itu Melayu dan Melayu itu UMNO, itu adalah suatu dusta. Malah UMNO juga diangotai oleh ahli2 bumiputra yang bukan Melayu.

Celaka punya UMNO.

UMNO hanya ada ahli seramai 3.5 juta. Itu kata mereka. Diatas kertas mungkin ada 3.5 juta. Realitynya, jumlahnya lebih kurang dari itu. 3.5 juta disebut-sebut hanya untuk buat show dan menakutan orang lain.

Mungkin jumlah ahli sebenarnya tinggal 2.5 juta. Orang Melayu pula ada 15 juta. Ertinya, hanya 1 dari 5 orang Melayu ialah ahli UMNO. Maka bagaimana UMNO itu Melayu dan Melayu itu UMNO? Lebih ramai Melayu bukan ahli UMNO.

Demikian juga dalam  PRU13 tahun 2013. UMNO memperolehi jumlah undi sebanyak 3.2 juta. Andaikan semua pengundi yang mengundi UMNO ialah Melayu. Jumlah pengundi  Melayu yang keluar mengundi dalam PRU13 ialah  hampir 7 juta orang. Jika UMNO dapat 3.2 juta undi dan semuanya Melayu pula, bererti 3.8 juta orang Melayu tidak mengundi UMNO.

Jadi bagaimana UMNO tanpa segan dan silu, mengatakan mereka mewakili Melayu? Lebih ramai orang Melayu mengundi parti bukan UMNO.

Tapi kita tahu, dari 3.2 juta yang mengundi UMNO, bukan semuanya Melayu. India kaki pembodek dan Cina yang mahu kesenangan, ada juga mengundi UMNO. Mungkin 15% dari undi yang diperolehi oleh UMNO datang dari bangsa bukan Melayu.

Apa erti semuanya ini? Ertinya, daripada 3.2 juta undi yang diperolehi oleh UMNO- hanya 2.72 juta sahaja orang Melayu, jika jumlah pengundi  Melayu ialah 7 juta orang, maka Melayu yang tidak undi UMNO adalah sebanyak  lebih 4 juta orang. 4 juta Melayu tidak undi UMNO.

Jadi bagaimana UMNO boleh mendabik dada mengistiharkan mereka mewakili majority Melayu? Nyatalah lebih ramai Melayu yang tidak undi UMNO.

Ini menjawab soalan- adakah orang Melayu mati jika UMNO di tolak?  Jika UMNO ditolak, hanya 1 orang Melayu akan kecundang. 4 orang Melayu lain boleh terus hidup selesa.

Pengajarannya ialah: Orang Melayu secara mutlaknya, tidak memerlukan UMNO untuk terus hidup.

Mereka sebetulnya memerlukan sebuah kerajaan yang adil dan melaksanakan dasar2 yang adil dan saksama. Mereka memerlukan undang2 lebih daripada memerlukan UMNO.

Lebih penting, mereka memerlukan pemimpin yang amanah, jujur, tidak rasauh, tidak mencuri wang rakyat, dan bukan pembohong bersiri. - senapangsakti

1MDB 'bertaburan' dalam dokumen DOJ...

Dakwaan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak bahawa 1MDB tidak terlibat secara langsung dalam tuntutan mahkamah oleh Jabatan Kehakiman Amerika Syarikat (DOJ) adalah "mengejutkan" kerana dana tersebut disebut dalam keseluruhan dokumen mahkamah, kata DAP.

"Malah tanpa 1MDB, saman DOJ sebanyak 136 halaman tidak boleh berdiri dengan sendirinya dan akan runtuh.

"'1MDB' adalah bertaburan di seluruh laporan 136 muka surat itu, dan dalam 20 muka surat pertama, terdapat lebih daripada 130 rujukan.

"Maka bagaimanakah Najib boleh mengatakan bahawa 1MDB tidak terlibat secara langsung dalam laporan DOJ itu?" kata pemimpin DAP Lim Kit Siang dalam ucapannya di majlis makan malam di Johor Bahru malam tadi.

Najib yang juga presiden Umno dilaporkan berkata pada sidang akhbar selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat Majlis Tertinggi Umno di Kuala Lumpur bahawa 1MDB tidak mempunyai aset di Amerika Syarikat dan tidak dinamakan secara langsung dalam laporan itu.

"Najib tidak harus memperbodohkan rakyat Malaysia," kata Lim yang juga ahli parlimen Gelang Patah. - mk

1MDB 'strewn all over' DOJ report, Najib told

Najib Tak Faham Atau Cuba Nak Perdaya Macik Felda...

After Checking Pulse And Temperature, Pemuda Chief Gostan...

"Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin has distanced himself from the police report lodged by his deputy, Khairul Azwan Harun, over an alleged plot to topple Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Khairy said the police report was done in Khairul Azwan's personal capacity, and did not reflect the party wing's stance, Bernama reported.

"We leave it to the police to investigate it further. As the prime minister said, the police report (made by Khairul Azwan) was done on an individual basis," Khairy was quoted as telling reporters in Batu Pahat, Johor, today.

On Tuesday, Khairul Azwan filed a police report against former Bank Negara governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz, former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Abu Kassim Mohamed and former attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail."

I say brader Khairul Azwan, hari ini ngko rasa lain sikit tak kat b*nt*t kau? I think you have just been 'liw@tted'.  

Now your boss says your police report was done in your personal capacity - not representing Pemuda UMNO. Meaning Pemuda UMNO aint going to back you up on this.  The Boogey fellow says 'on an individual basis'.

They are not going to back you up. You are on your own.  Good luck.

Zeti has already consulted a lawyer. Ha ha ha.- OSTB

Grand larceny in 1MDB...

Documentary evidence is overwhelming. US$731 million of corrupt money was credited into his personal account, and his stepson received US$238 million...

The might of the most powerful nation in the world has been brought to bear to investigate, uncover and institute legal proceedings to forfeit assets purchased through money stolen from proceeds of bonds sales by 1MDB.

The combined efforts of three US agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), with the assistance of law enforcement agencies in other countries, have produced the most complete, holistic picture of the great fraud perpetrated by Jho Low and his co-conspirators to defraud the people of Malaysia of billions of ringgit ultimately belonging to them.

The 136-page, 513-paragraph ‘Verified Complaint for Forfeiture in Rem’ is a tour de force. The people of Malaysia, suffering under a state of powerlessness and helplessness, owe an immeasurable debt to the sterling work carried out by truly independent institutions in the United States.

As a long-time critic of US domestic and foreign policies, I pay tribute to their selfless work in exposing the greatest robbery in modern times; what is the Great Train Robbery of the 1960s compared to 1MDB!

The fact that the US initiative is brought by its newly established ‘Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative’ is significant. Thus their complaint asserts that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is a kleptocrat, a term that was only coined in the late 1990s to describe African dictators like Joseph Mobutu, Sani Abacha and Robert Mugabe plundering their own countries.

More than US$3.5 billion in funds belonging to 1MDB were stolen, and the US complaint seeks the forfeiture and recovery of more than US$1 billion in assets purchased from that stolen money. It represents the largest single action ever brought by the Kleptocracy Initiative.

The serious allegations against Najib, his stepson, Riza Aziz and Jho Low for their corrupt dealings have shamed our nation. Through their action, Malaysia has joined the ranks of the most corrupt nations in the globe.

One could not have a more succinct description of the corrupt practices engaged by these persons than what the Complaint states in Paragraph 6:-

“6. 1MDB was ostensibly created to pursue investment and development projects for the economic benefit of Malaysia and its people, primarily relying on the issuance of various debt securities to fund these projects. However, over the course of an approximately four-year period, between approximately 2009 and at least 2013, multiple individuals, including public officials and their associates, conspired to fraudulently divert billions of dollars from 1MDB though various means, including by defrauding foreign banks and by sending foreign wire communications in furtherance of the scheme, and thereafter, to launder the proceeds of that criminal conduct, including in and through U.S. financial institutions. The funds diverted from 1MDB were used for the personal benefit of the co-conspirators and their relatives and associated, including to purchase luxury real estate in the United States, pay gambling expenses at Las Vegas casinos, acquire more than US$200 million in artwork, invest in a major New York real estate development project, and fund the production of major Hollywood films. 1MDB maintained no interest in these assets and saw no returns on these investments.”

A close reading of the comprehensive document will indicate that the draftsmen had access to thousands of incriminating materials, hardly surprising considering the reach of the FBI and IRS when the US dollar and their banking system are used for nefarious purposes. Further, the paper trail would have been immensely damning.

From their advanced state of knowledge, as demonstrated by the exhaustive nature of the civil complaint, it is only a small step for the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) to next take, that is, to institute criminal proceedings against the persons referred to in the complaint. Such criminal proceedings cannot come soon enough for all right thinking persons.

The US government complaint completely vindicates the brave reporting of Clare Rewcastle-Brown and the Sarawak Report, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, the Edge led by its intrepid editor Ho Kay Tat and P Gunasegaram in KiniBiz. So too the public statements of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Tony Pua, Lim Kit Siang and Ambiga Sreenevasan.

They have been unfairly demonised by the Malaysian Establishment, for speaking the truth and an apology is due to them. And Malaysia owes a great debt to Clare Rewcastle-Brown for her single-minded investigative journalism of the very highest standard.

Because the complaint is in effect a history of the fraudulent dealings undertaken by 1MDB, under the control of Najib and Jho Low from the time of its birth, it should be read carefully. No summary can do justice to its detailed narration: the primary document must be reviewed.

I propose to focus on the role played by Najib and the corrupt practice of his step-son, Riza. But before I do so, mention must be made of the Verification by Robert B Heuchling, Special Agent, FBI which appears at the last page of the complaint. He has signed the complaint, thereby confirming the veracity of its contents under the penalty of perjury, and goes on to state that he has had access to files, records and information supplied to him by law enforcement officers.

This signifies personal responsibility on the part of Heuchling, establishing that he is satisfied with the truth of the matters complained of. Thus, it would be foolhardy for anyone to simply dismiss the complaint as a political document by a foreign agency wishing to undermine the Najib administration.

Najib Abdul Razak

A minor criticism can be levelled against the complaint: its failure to actually name Najib Abdul Razak. The obvious inference is that it was a political decision not to shame a sitting prime minister most friendly to USA and its president. But the legal draftsmen, no doubt irritated by such political constraint to their freedom to plead in the manner of their choosing, make it crystal clear that Najib is “Malaysian Official 1”.

Thus, Paragraph 28 states that Malaysia Official 1 “is a high-ranking official in the Malaysian government who also held a position of authority with 1MDB”. At all material times, Najib is, and was, the prime minister, finance minister and chairperson of the advisory committee of 1MDB. No other member of the government held such triple functions, a fact expressly recognised in Paragraph 39 of the complaint.

Just in case any reader of the complaint has any difficulty in recognising Najib as Malaysian Official 1, it would be removed by reading the very next Paragraph, that is Paragraph 29 (indeed, the juxta-positioning of the 2 paragraphs is itself instructive). 

Riza Aziz is described as “a relative of Malaysian Official 1”. Riza is the stepson of Najib, and is not related to any other personality directly, indirectly or remotely involved in the 1MDB scandal.

In such circumstances, it is absolutely pointless for Najib and his loyal, diehard supporters to claim that because he is not named in the complaint, it does not refer to him. Indeed, the complaint cannot properly be understood in its entirety, unless one understands Najib’s dominance over 1MDB, as was the political and business reality.

The first reference to wrongdoing on Najib’s part appears in Paragraphs 99 to 102. Paragraph 99 states that US$20 million was transferred between February and June 2011 into Najib’s now notorious personal account with AmBank, Kuala Lumpur, from monies stolen from 1MDB. Paragraph 102 states that this was the same AmBank account which received US$681 million in March 2013.

The second corrupt action involving Najib is referred to in Paragraphs 178 and 193, Paragraph 178 states that 1MDB bond proceeds were diverted from their intended purpose for the personal benefit of among others, Najib, which further evidences “a misappropriation of public funds”. In the case of Najib, Blackstone in that transaction transferred at least US$30 million to his Ambank account: see Paragraph 193.

The third reference to corrupt monies received by Najib can be found in Paragraph 229 which states that during a five-day period in March 2013, US$681 million was transferred from the Tanore account to Najib’s AmBank account, from which US$620 was returned to the Tanore account in August 2013.

What happened to the difference of US$61 million, is not mentioned in the complaint. Thus, it is clear that at least a total of US$731 million was received by Najib in his Ambank account.

Paragraph 238 is critical. It explains why creditors were prepared to purchase bonds issued by 1MDB, which is a company with a paid-up capital of just RM1 million, but able to issue US$3 billion worth of bonds in March 2013 (to give just one example of such a bond issue). That is because Najib, as finance minister, signed a letter of support on behalf of the government of Malaysia.

Regardless of the title of that document, effectively the government was guaranteeing repayment if 1MDB defaults. Najib was not only prepared to risk injury to Malaysia’s sovereign immunity by being sued in the Courts of England, but more importantly was also undertaking to pay tax-payers monies from the Consolidated Fund, if 1MDB defaults.

In so signing the letter of support, Najib was placed in a terrible conflict of interest position: his interest as a beneficiary of corrupt monies overriding his duty as a public servant elected to protect taxpayers’ money.

The complaint also focuses on the offering circular, leading to the issue of 1MDB Bonds. Paragraph 242 states that the offering circular was misleading because it failed to disclose that Najib “would receive hundreds of millions of dollars from the proceeds of the bond sale within days of its closing”.

Paragraphs 259 to 264 deal with a subject familiar to Malaysia: the title to this part of the complaint reads: “US$681 million was transferred from the Tanore Account to an Account Belonging to Malaysian Official 1”. Paragraph 259 simply states:

“Shortly after proceeds of the 2013 bond sale were diverted to the Tanore Account, US$681,000,000.00 was sent from the Tanore Account to a bank account belonging to Malaysian Official 1.”

No guesses needed that this official was Najib, (and no other person). According to Paragraphs 248 and 249, Eric Tan Kim Loong, a close associate of Jho Low, was the sole authorised signatory to the Tanore Account, but in March 2013 1MDB Officer 3 was given signing authority on the Tanore Account through a Power of Attorney.

Thus, although Paragraph 262 pleads that RM620 million was returned by Najib to the Tanore Account, it does not mean that Najib could not have had access to it, thereafter, since the Tanore Account was controlled by Jho Low. What is clear is that the monies were not a gift from the Saudi royalty, but proceeds from bonds issued by 1MDB, which means 1MDB must repay them. And if 1MDB cannot, Malaysian taxpayers will.

The allegations levelled against Malaysian Official 1 in these paragraphs of the complaint are most grave, and indicate a pattern of systematic corruption, while holding the most important office in the state. Again, there is absolutely no doubt that although these paragraphs do not expressly name Najib, it is impossible to think of any other individual fitting the role.

Riza Aziz

What has so far received far less publicity is the corrupt monies received by Najib’s stepson, Riza. It is a classic case of a kleptocrat in charge of the nation’s treasures plundering them for the benefit of a close relative. Again, Najib placed himself in a conflict of interest position. 

Paragraph 120 of the complaint begins the case against Riza. It states there that shortly after receiving proceeds of the two 2012 bond sales from 1MDB, US$238 million was transferred to a Singapore bank account belonging to Red Granite Capital, a BVI entity owned by Riza.

About US$100 million of this money was used to purchase luxury real estate in the US and UK for Riza’s personal benefit, and about US$64 million to fund his movie production company, Red Granite Pictures. The scheme to defraud 1MDB of US$238 million is explained in detail from Paragraphs 202 to 219.

Riza Aziz also transferred some US$41 million from the sum of US$238 million to be applied to defray gambling expenses incurred in the Venetian Casino, Las Vegas by Jho Low, Eric Tan and himself (Riza): see Paragraph 220 and 226. The final corrupt dealing by Riza was his purchase of the Qentas Townhouse in posh Belgravia, London for £23 million: see Paragraph 492.

Unprecedented, shocking, massive, brazen, blatant: one soon runs out of words to describe the scale and magnitude of the corrupt actions of the wrong-doers. How those who designed, devised and implemented these dastardly deeds thought they could escape in the modern, borderless world is itself mind-boggling.

Proceedings in Malaysia

Why were similar proceedings not instituted in Malaysia? After all, Malaysia is the natural jurisdiction since the company in question, 1MDB, is incorporated and carries on business here. Najib, Riza and Jho Low are Malaysians. So the nexus to Malaysia is greater than anywhere else.

Is it not embarrassing for the attorney-general of Malaysia to be reminded by his counter-part in the United States, under whose leadership the complaint was brought, that stealing from public funds by Najib is a criminal offence under Malaysian law. Thus, in Paragraph 499, seven separate offences under our Penal Code are listed as being violated: three provisions under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act are also identified in that Paragraph.

Bank fraud is a crime under at least three provisions under the Penal Code, as we are reminded in Paragraph 500. And the entire world knows about the universal application of Anti-Money Laundering Legislation (like AMLA) across the globe; a consequence of 9/11. And yet no criminal proceedings have been commenced in Malaysia!

Former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin and former attorney-general Gani Patail will testify as to what happened to them a year ago when they tried to act against Najib. Unfortuately, the late Kevin Morrais’ role in the 1MDB scandal has never been publicly clarified, and remains a matter of rumour and speculation.

A climate of fear has enveloped all the senior office-holders of the major institutions of the nation. MACC, the inspector-general of police (IGP) and Bank Negara have gone silent. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has been disbanded, and the auditor-general’s report has been marked an official secret.

Because 1MDB was the company which directly suffered losses worth billions of ringgit, they should have filed civil recovery actions against persons like Jho Low and Najib, who were supposed to look after their interests but in fact were plundering it. Since the wrong-doers are still very much in control of 1MDB, it is not surprising that the company has not complained, much less resorted to litigation against anyone.

Litigation by other parties have so far been unsuccessful. I should disclose that I was part of the legal team that acted for some of the opposition parties and personalities when they sued Najib and 1MDB last July upon discovery of the US$681 million being credited into his personal account at Ambank.

The civil suit was summarily struck out as being wholly without merit, although all the contentions therein, based principally on the Sarawak Report and Wall Street Journal, have been corroborated by the US complaint.

Tommy Thomas

Najib must resign

It is now abundantly clear that Najib Abdul Razak has long forfeited his right to remain in office as our prime minister. The documentary evidence, which cannot be denied, is overwhelming. US$731 million of corrupt money was credited into his personal account, and his stepson received US$238 million. In the eyes of the world he is a kleptocrat, and cannot stay in office. He must resign immediately. - Tommy Thomas

Akaun palsu #respectmypm bukti Najib terdesak raih sokongan...

Kerajaan UMNO-BN yang ditadbir Datuk Seri Najib Razak seolah-olah kemaruk sokongan sehingga sanggup menggunakan gambar individu yang telah meninggal dunia untuk mencipta akaun laman sosial palsu bagi mengampu Perdana Menteri itu.

Kegiatan tidak bertanggungjawab berkenaan didedahkan portal berita tempatan semalam. Laporan itu mendakwa akaun Facebook tersebut digunakan untuk menulis kemaskini memuji pentadbiran Menteri Kewangan terbabit dengan hastag #RespectMyPM #BelieveinPM.

Penolong Setiausaha Wanita DAP Kebangsaan, Young Syefura (Rara) berkata, tindakan seumpama itu tidak harus dipandang remeh kerana adalah menyalahi undang-undang sekiranya didapati ada pihak yang melakukan pencurian identiti untuk tujuan-tujuan tertentu.

“Malah, dari segi politiknya, ini adalah usaha terdesak Najib yang didakwa ramai pihak sebagai ‘Malaysian Official 1’ untuk menunjukkan kepada rakyat Malaysia bahawa beliau masih lagi disokong.

“Kempen dan modus operandi seperti ini hanyalah untuk mengaburi kita dan masyarakat dunia semata-mata,” katanya kepada Roketkini.com.

Young Syefura(Rara)

Hastag berbaur sokongan terhadap Najib itu timbul selepas Jabatan Kehakiman Amerika Syarikat mengeluarkan tuntutan mahkamah terhadap 1MDB ekoran penyelewengan dana. “Malaysia Official 1” antara individu yang terlibat dan dipercayai merujuk kepada Najib.

Dalam pada itu, Rara yang juga Ahli Jawatankuasa DAP Selangor berkata jika benar sokongan terhadap Najib begitu kuat, satu referendum nasional harus diadakan bagi membolehkan rakyat menzahirkan sokongan mereka.

“Jika tidak, ia hanya membuktikan bahawa sokongan yang ditunjukkan melalui akaun-akaun palsu berkenaan hanyalah propaganda murahan UMNO-BN untuk meraih sokongan terdesak,” katanya. – Roketkini.com

MACC deputy chief targets Umno Youth leader in blistering farewell speech...

Overwhelmed with emotion, outgoing Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy chief Mohd Shukri Abdull appeared to be fighting back tears during his farewell address.

However, this did not stop him from delivering a blistering speech, where he launched a broadside on those who accused his boss Abu Kassim Mohamed of being part of conspiracy to topple Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

“For me, the individual who lodged the police report against Tan Sri (Abu Kassim) is uneducated, unable to differentiate (between a conspiracy) and a struggle to combat corruption for the love of this country," he said.

On Tuesday, Umno Youth vice-chief Khairul Azwan Harun lodged a police report against Abu Kassim, former Bank Negara governor Zeti Akthar Aziz and ex-attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail.

He claimed the three had submitted information to foreign agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), without authorisation.

Khairul also accused them of falsifying information to achieve their agenda.

In his speech, Shukri also recounted the various challenges he faced in over 30 years of "being a slave" to combat corruption.

"I nearly died when I was trapped in a drug (related) case. A live bullet was sent to my house.

"There was also a time when I was afflicted by a mysterious illness..." he said.

Like Abu Kassim, Shukri said he had similarly been the victim of false allegations by critics unhappy with the MACC.

As such, he urged all remaining officers to remain steadfast in their duty, and to treat such critics like mere "dogs barking at a tree".

Shukri said the tree, which represents the MACC, would still continue to bear fruit and benefit the people.- mk

Walaupun DOJ mendedahkan aset yang dirampas hasil songlapan dari 1MDB, bapak tiri Reza Aziz ni aka "Malaysian Official 1", terus menafikan RM4 billion nilai rampasan dari hartanah, jet, lukisan, hotel, etc adalah dari wang 1MDB yang diselewengkan. 

Memang pelik dan luar biasa, sampai tak boleh dibayangkan oleh imaginasi manusia normal hingga sampai disaat ni pun. Najib sebagai penasihat 1MDB terus membuat penafian...

Najib kata 1MDB tak terlibat dgn laporan atau kes sivil oleh DOJ. Sebab, tiada harta atau asset 1MDB yg terlibat dlm senarai.

Samalah macam "Najib tak terlibat" sebab nama Najib tak disebut. Cuma yg disebut hanyalah "Malaysian Official 1". Sapa itu Malaysian Official 1? Mungkin tajuk filem yg mengisahkan rompakan harta besar2an atau siri pembunuhan wanita Mongolia kot. Najib  ingat rakyat Malaysia ni bodoh macam orang UMNO.

Perompak berkebajikan tetap perompak...

Syarikat A bayar ke syarikat B, syarikat B pula bayar ke syarikat C, syarikat C bayar ke syarikat D, dan syarikat D ialah kawan-kawan karib yang ada hubungan dengan pengurus besar A.

Syarikat A dengan mudahnya menegaskan tiada salahlaku dan tiada duit yang hilang. Bagi A, urusannya hanya dengan B, tidak kisahlah samada B ini syarikat kosong ataupun tidak.

Pendek kata, apa yang B buat dengan duit A, bukan masalah A, walaupun duit yang dibayar ke B akhirnya pulang ke mereka yang rapat dengan pengurus besar A melalui C dan D.

Akhirnya yang berhutang hanyalah A. Pihak B, C dan D menikmati gaya hidup termewah di dunia.

Meskipun demikian, masih ada yang memuji bahawa syarikat A banyak membuat kebajikan. Namun, perompak berkebajikan tetap adalah perompak.

Tidak perlu saya menamakan siapa syarikat A, sebagaimana "Malaysia Official 1".

Apa yang berlaku hari ini?

Kegagalan agensi-agensi berkuasa negara, ditambah dengan kongkongan kuasa politik yang menyebabkan ada sebilangan mereka yang terlibat dengan penyiasatan telah diberhentikan telah membuat rakyat terasa negara tidak berupaya membongkar kes 1MDB.

Akibatnya, apabila ada negara lain yang sudi membongkar isu 1MDB, seperti Jabatan Kehakiman Amerika Syarikat (DOJ) dan juga negara-negara lain, rakyat terus mempercayai apa yang didedahkan penyiasatan mereka.

Jangan salahkan rakyat. Rakyat tiada pilihan kerana alasan-alasan yang bukan sahaja kurang logik malah tidak konsisten yang diberikan pihak berkuasa selama ini melanggar akal mereka.

AS mahu menjaga negaranya daripada dijadikan tempat mencuci wang haram, atau wang rompakan daripada negara lain. Mereka yang dinamakan perlu menjawab di mana datangnya sumber kewangan mereka, apakah sumber itu halal dan telah dicukai?

Sekiranya jawapan ialah hadiah, maka siasatan akan dilakukan kepada si pemberi hadiah, di mana soalan yang sama akan ditanya, di mana datangnya sumber hadiah tersebut?

Semua ini akan disiasat berterusan sehingga lubuk, kerana masing-masing akan mencari jalan untuk menyelamatkan diri sendiri.

Story kat sini...

Sebagai contoh, bayangkan kalau tuduhan bahawa duit 1MDB disonglap sebagai modal perjudian beberapa individu terbukti betul? Bukankah ini satu penghinaan sedangkan ramai rakyat yang sedang bergelut membayar PTPTN?

Namun begitu, ada yang was-was dengan siasatan DOJ, kerana sejarah dan sikap AS yang suka mencampuri urusan negara lain yang bermasalah dalaman. Apakah rasional pandangan ini terhadap isu 1MDB?

Walaupun begitu, jangan ada pihak yang mencemuh pihak yang was-was ini. Kebimbangan mereka terhadap sikap suka campur tangan kuasa asing khasnya AS ke atas negara umat Islam ada asasnya perlu diberi perhatian.

Kerana sejarah membuktikan permasalahan dalaman negara, penindasan dan kezaliman akan membuka ruang campur tangan asing.

Kerajaan yang bertindak zalim menyebabkan rakyat mula terasa ingin memberontak secara dalaman. Akan tetapi, dengan sistem demokrasi yang ditempangkan untuk menjaga kekuasaan kerajaan yang zalim, rakyat terasa tertekan dan hilang harapan untuk menukar kerajaan.

Ketika itu, kuasa asing akan mengambil kesempatan kerana sebarang bantuan yang datang akan disambut rakyat, termasuklah bantuan daripada pihak asing.

Suruhanjaya Diraja

Kerajaan tidak harus berlengah lagi untuk menghidupkan Suruhanjaya Diraja ini, malah ia masih selari dengan seruan kenyataan Raja-Raja Melayu sebelum ini yang menggesa kerajaan menyelesaikan secepat mungkin siasatan berkaitan dengan 1MDB dan mengambil tindakan tegas yang sewajarnya terhadap pihak-pihak yang terlibat.

Kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan, jangan dibiarkan kesilapan-kesilapan kerajaan zalim di serata dunia sehingga menyebabkan negara tergadai berulang di Malaysia.

Hutang negara sudahpun mencecah RM847 bilion di 2015. Jangan biarkan keadaan ini melarat ke satu hari ini nanti, di mana Bank Dunia dan IMF menanti untuk menghulurkan bantuan. Ketika itu, sudah terlambat bagi negara untuk menghalang campur tangan asing.

Kepada yang bimbang dengan campurtangan asing dalam isu 1MDB, penyelesaiannya mudah, bersatulah mendesak agar Suruhanjaya Diraja terhadap 1MDB dibuka dan teruskan desakan sehingga agensi-agensi berkuasa berani berdikari dan melakukan pendakwaan kepada mereka yang terlibat dalam merompak harta negara dan berusahalah untuk membuat pengorbanan ke arah menukar kerajaan. - Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man,Timbalan Presiden PAS.

Penang's prerogative to call for snap polls...

The DAP-led Penang government has the prerogative to call for snap polls in the state without the need for an emergency state assembly sitting, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said today. 
    
He said that according to the state constitution, the present Pakatan government had the power to call an early election and this had nothing to do with the Barisan Nasional. 
    
"BN has done it many times, (called) an early general election in 1978, 1982 and 1986 as, according to the federal constitution, it has the right and, in Penang, we only need to seek the Governor's (Yang Dipertua Negeri's) blessings," he told reporters after launching the Aspen Group sales gallery in Bandar Cassia here. 
    
He was responding to Pulau Betong state assemblyman Mohd Farid Saad of the BN who had said yesterday that the state should hold an emergency state assembly sitting to discuss the proposed snap polls. 
    
Lim, who is also DAP secretary-general, said it was nothing new as BN had done it at the federal level, and it would have nothing to do with the opposition party in the state if the state were to call an early election.   
    
The chief minister also suggested that Mohd Farid table a motion of no-confidence against the state government or the chief minister if he was not satisfied. 
    
"We are only discussing among our Pakatan coalition (partners) and not discussing with the opposition in the state," he said. 
    
Last Tuesday, PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail announced that the party was yet unconvinced by the DAP proposal to hold snap polls in Penang. 
    
The issue over the state election was raised when the local media reported that DAP had listed two options following the corruption charges faced by Lim. 
    
One option was to hold a snap election to gauge the Penang citizens' response towards the charges against Lim and the other was to wait for the next general election, due by August 2018. 
    
The Penang state assembly has 40 seats with DAP now holding 19; PKR, 10; Barisan Nasional, 10 and PAS, one. - Bernama

Enormously inflated rail contract a ruse to pay off 1MDB debt...

Desperate to Survive, Malaysia’s PM Sells his Country to China...

The vulnerability of Southeast Asian countries to the combination of Chinese money and their own corrupt politicians has been laid starkly bare by a new report on Malaysia’s scandal ridden 1MDB.

Desperate to extricate himself from the massive misuse of funds supposedly raised for development by the state-backed sovereign fund, Najib has turned to China. The price has been Malaysia’s silence in the face of China’s claims to most of Malaysia’s South China Sea economic zone and failure to speak up following the Court of Arbitration’s ruling against China and its nine-dash line claim. Thwarted by the court of arbitration, China over recent months has been seeking – with considerable success – what it was clearly denied in court: by purchasing the loyalty of the littoral nations.

The Sarawak Report, an online publication with a remarkable record of access to leaked documents on thievery by leading Malaysian politicians, has revealed a plot, now close to realization, to use a Chinese state company as a conduit for dishonestly using public funds to plug gaping holes in 1MDB accounts.

These holes are the direct result of a billion dollar spending spree in the west by 1MDB on luxurious apartments, parties and the international jet set as well as direct and indirect payments to Najib himself and associates such as Jho Taek Low and Najib’s wife Rosmah Mansor’s son from a previous marriage. It is quite likely that before long, other of the clutch of countries investigating the scandal are going to go public with charges equally as damning as those made public last week by the US Justice Department, which named “Public Official No. 1” 34 times in the document. In all, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said, at least US$3.5 billion had been siphoned off the Malaysian taxpayer.

Now Najib is attempting to get China to cover that loss surreptitiously and in the process probably selling out his country over its rights in its own exclusive economic zone.  Chinese companies have already helped 1MDB’s cash situation by buying power stations assets at favorable prices. But those deals were aboveboard compared with the latest multi-billion ringgit scam.

According to the documents published by Sarawak Report, the plot is for China’s state owned China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) to be awarded the contract to build the high speed East Coast Rail Line (ECRL). Following official receipt of the award, CCCC is due on Aug. 5 to pay  US$850 million for certain 1MDB assets. CCCC will also assume responsibility for US$4.78 billion in interest and principal due of 1MDB obligations due between now and 2022.

In return for this enormous bailout, Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance is to undertake to pay billions to CCCC on top of the actual cost of the project.

The contract works thus:

Total contract value:-  MYR60 billion

Actual assumed cost of project:-  MYR27 billion

CCCC profit margin of 4.55 percent:-  MYR2.729 billion

Additional differential:-  MYR29.8 billion

The so-called “additional differential” is the amount needed to compensate CCCC for its support of 1MDB. Thus the Malaysian public is expected to pay double the proper price for the railway simply to bail out Najib and his corrupt associates. The amounts to be paid on behalf of 1MDB total an astonishing US$7.46 billion. This includes the debts due to Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund which is currently suing 1MDB over unpaid loan guarantees.

According to the Sarawak Report documents, the bail-out also reaches companies controlled by Jho Lo – and by mega rich former Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, which were used to funnel money to Najib.

The deal also gives China additional advantages from which it would benefit for years to come, limiting Makaysia’s ability to open later projects to competitive bidding, notably the adoption of China’s rail technology for future major infrastructure. CCCC will get a 10-year break on GST and income taxes, allow CCCC to select suppliers and sub-contractors without reference to the government. Meanwhile the government will take responsibility for land acquisition along the route.

Publication of these details, which many in Malaysia may regard as indicating treason as well as corruption, are likely to make the Chinese nervous. It was bad enough that the US has launched criminal charges against many associated with 1MDB and which implicate Najib in all but name. The latest revelations add to the threat to Najib’s position and hence the possibility that any deal now signed with CCCC would later be repudiated by Malaysia as corruptly won.

Meanwhile it is astonishing that a ruling party that purports to represent the interests of the Malay people keeps a leader who so obviously not only has abused his position to make money for himself and associates, who has diverted vast sums from development to foreign luxuries, and, worst of all, has sold the national interest to a country that has been forcibly pressing its claims to a large part of Malaysia’s waters as well as Layang-Layang island off the coast of Sabah. It is no surprise that Malaysia’s considerable naval strength is doing nothing to halt Chinese fishing in its waters. - Philip Bowring,AS

Komplot jatuhkan PM, tragedi 3 Tan Sri...

Pemuda Umno sudah buat laporan polis ke atas tiga orang Tan Sri yang pernah duduk dalam satu jawatankuasa untuk menyiasat dakwaan aliran tunai berjumlah sekitar RM2.6 bilion ke dalam akaun peribadi dengan nama Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Tiga orang Tan Sri ini, Zeti Akhtar Aziz, Abdul Gani Patail dan Abu Kasim, telah dituduh oleh gerombolan Pemuda Umno kononnya telah berkomplot untuk menjatuhkan Perdana Menteri serta kerajaan Malaysia.

Pemuda Umno secara ringkasnya telah menyerang bekas-bekas bos Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia dan Jabatan Peguam Negara dengan mempersoal taat setia mereka kepada kerajaan.

Mereka didakwa telah memberi dokumen dan maklumat sulit kepada agensi luar negara, termasuk pihak Biro Siasatan Persekutuan Amerika Syarikat, FBI.

Daripada empat orang Tan Sri yang menganggotai pasukan khas menyiasat aliran tunai ke akaun Najib Razak, hanya seorang Tan Sri sahaja yang masih selamat, iaitu Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, Ketua Polis Negara. Tan Sri KPN sekarang berhadapan tanggungjawab sukar untuk menyiasat tiga Tan Sri lain, yang dahulunya bekerjasama dengannya dalam satu pasukan.

Pemuda Umno bukan sahaja telah bertindak menyerang peribadi tiga orang Tan Sri yang telah berundur daripada jawatan masing-masing ini (secara paksa atau rela kita tidak pasti), malah Pemuda Umno telah hampir sahaja pasti mengesahkan bahawa individu yang dirujuk sebagai ‘Malaysian Official 1’ dalam dokumen saman sivil Jabatan Kehakiman Amerika, adalah tidak lain tidak bukan, Perdana Menteri sendiri.

Seelok-eloknya, tiga orang Tan Sri ini mungkin boleh segera memohon suaka politik daripada mana-mana kedutaan terdekat, dan mohon dikeluarkan dari Malaysia secepat mungkin supaya mereka tidak dikekang daripada menyatakan kebenaran oleh tangan-tangan kasar aparat keamanan negara.

Kita mungkin sahaja menyaksikan Gani Patail, Zeti dan Abu Kassim ditangkap, disoal siasat, dan dikurung di bawah undang-undang tahan tanpa bicara, antara lain kerana mengancam proses demokrasi dan merancang untuk menggulingkan kerajaan dengan cara salah. Komplot menggulingkan perdana menteri bukan benda main-main. Pemuda Umno pastinya tahu itu.

Kedua, mungkin kita boleh cadangkan kepada (bekas) staf-staf mereka, terutamanya yang berada di SPRM untuk segera mendedahkan segala bukti dan hasil siasatan terhadap kes-kes melibatkan pemuka-pemuka Umno yang lainnya, terutamanya yang berprofil tinggi.

Kita sangat pasti bahawa fail siasatan terhadap gerombolan Umno ini semua tebal-tebal belaka dan hanya menanti saat dan ketika untuk dibocorkan kepada pengetahuan orang ramai.

Masanya sudah amat sesuai untuk SPRM melancarkan kempen ‘buli balik’ ke atas gerombolan yang selama ini menekan dan mengawal siasatan mereka, malah sesuka hati memindah-mindah pegawai, dan terbaru mendakwa bekas bos mereka sebagai pengkhianat negara.

Baru lah rancak.

Pun begitu, kita melihat ini semua sekadar buah mula kepada siri serangan balas kartel Najib Razak terhadap pihak lawan, berkadar dengan lahirnya nanti Akta Majlis Keselamatan Negara pada 1 Ogos 2016 nanti.

1 Ogos adalah juga hari lahir Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri, yang meski telah lama dimansuhkan, masih juga ada anasirnya yang tersisa dan kini lahir dengan wajah baru.

Akta Majlis Keselamatan Negara memberi kuasa kepada Majlis Keselamatan Negara yang dipengerusikan Perdana Menteri untuk mengisytiharkan ‘kawasan keselamatan’ di daerah, negeri, bandar, kawasan Parlimen tertentu mengikut suka hati pihak berkenaan, tanpa memerlukan perkenan Yang di-Pertuan Agong, mahupun mendapat kelulusan Parlimen.

Undang-undang ngeri itu hampir pasti akan digunakan untuk memberi kelebihan kepada kerajaan United Malays National Organisation untuk membungkam sebarang cabaran daripada pihak lawan, tidak kiralah parti-parti pembangkang, mahupun Tun Dr Mahathir beserta gerombolannya.

Apabila kuasa itu mendapat nyawa 1 Ogos nanti, gigih membebel nak buat pilihanraya negeri pun tak guna dah. – Roketkini.com

Aduan Pemuda UMNO : Siapa Sebenarnya Berkonspirasi...

Aihamdulillah, satu peluang keemasan terbuka kepada pihak-pihak yang berpengetahuan mengenai skandal raksasa 1MDB untuk menyatakan kebenaran. Kini, demi mempertahankan diri daripada satu tuduhan yang sangat serius, mereka terpaksa memberitahu polis apa yang mereka tahu mengenai skandal itu dan pelaku-pelakunya.

Mereka yang saya maksudkan adalah bekas Peguam Negara (Tan Sri) Abdul Gani Patail, bekas Ketua Pesuruhjaya Suruhanjaya Pencegah Rasuah Malaysia (PSRM) (Tan Sri) Abu Kassim Mohamed dan bekas Gebenor Bank Negara, (Tan Sri) Zeti Akhtar Aziz.

Mereka telah dituduh dalam satu laporan polis oleh Naib Ketua Pemuda Umno Malaysia, Khairul Azwan Harun, terlibat dalam konspirasi untuk menggulingkan Perdana Menteri, (Datuk Seri Mappadulung Daeng Mattimung Karaeng Sanrobone) Mohd Najib Abdul Razak dan kerajaan yang sah.

Ini adalah satu dakwaan yang sangat berat yang boleh ditakrifkan sebagai penderhakaan terhadap kerajaan yang dipilih oleh rakyat. Jadi wajib disiasat rapi. Saya tidak tahu apa tujuan tersirat si pembuat laporan. Tetapi secara tersurat, ia nampak seolah-olah satu lagi kegiatan puji ampu oleh pemakan-pemakan dedak Umno.

Namun saya berterima kasih kepada Khairul Azwan kerana akibat laporan beliau itu, ketiga-tiga tokoh yang dituduh boleh memberi keterangan mengenai apa yang mereka tahu berkaitan skandal 1MDB, SRC International Sdn Bhd dan "derma Arab" RM2.6 bilion yang selama ini terpaksa mereka rahsiakan.

Banyak yang boleh mereka ceritakan kepada polis bagi menafikan tuduhan Pemuda Umno itu. Misalnya mereka boleh menjelaskan sama ada benar atau tidak ura-ura bahawa Mohd Najib di ambang tangkapan dan pertuduhan di mahkamah pada akhir Julai tahun lalu bersabit kes pecah amanah duit SRC International Sdn Bhd.

Abdul Gani sendiri boleh mengesahkan sama ada betul atau tidak jawatannya sebagai Peguam Negara ditamatkan secara mendadak pada 28 Julai lalu kerana beliau sedang bersiap sedia menangkap dan menghadapkan Mohd Najib ke mahkamah bersama-sama dengan Nik Faizal Ariff Kamil dalam kes penipuan SRC International.

Zeti boleh menjawab mengenai hasil penyiasatan ke atas pengaliran keluar-masuk duit 1MDB dan kaitannya dengan “derma” RM2.6 bilion yang masuk akaun peribadi Mohd Najib di AmBank.

Ambank telah pun mengaku salah atas pembabitannya dalam pemindahan wang tersebut dan membayar denda RM53.7 juta kepada Bank Negara November lepas.

Abu Kassim pun macam itu juga. Dia terpaksa menafikan tuduhan itu dengan menceritakan kepada polis apa yang SPRM telah temui dalam siasatannya ke atas SRC International, 1MDB dan derma RM2.6 bilion.

Rakyat Malaysia yang tidak keracunan dedak percaya bahawa SPRM telah membina kes yang cukup kuat yang melibatkan Mohd Najib dan Nik Faisal dalam pengalihan haram duit SRC International sebanyak RM42 juta. Hanya dengan mendedahkan maklumat-maklumat ini untuk dirakamkan oleh pihak polis barulah mereka dapat mempertahankan diri daripada tuduhan Pemuda Umno itu.

Saya yakin banyak lagi maklumat yang ada dalam kepala mereka mengenai siasatan ke atas 1MDB, SRC International dan derma RM2.6 bilion yang boleh mereka ceritakan kepada polis demi membela diri.

Polis, khususnya pegawai penyiasat, tentu tidak berani main kayu tiga dengan tiga orang ternama ini kerana mereka mempunyai pengalaman yang luas di segi undang-undang dan pasti akan diwakili oleh peguam yang cekap.

Abdul Gani sendiri adalah peguam cergas setelah membuka khidmat guamannya sendiri selepas dibuang kerja kononnya beliau sakit teruk. Itulah tahap propaganda pemakan dedak.
Mahkamah Pendapat Umum Di segi pendapat umum pula, simpati adalah bersama mereka yang dituduh oleh Pemuda Umno itu. Dalam mahkamah pendapat umum, juri rakyat memihak kepada mereka.

Jadi saya hairan apa maksud tersirat Pemuda Umno membuat laporan polis dengan tuduhan yang sangat berat itu. Perbuatan mereka boleh menjadi senjata yang menikam ketua nombor satu mereka – Mohd Najib - sendiri.

Saya tidak berani mengatakan ada konspirasi halus oleh Pemuda Umno terhadap Mohd Najib melalui laporan atau ia sekadar publisiti murahan kelas pemakan dedak.

Mungkin juga ini adalah cetusan idea gilang-gemilang Pemuda Umno untuk mengalihkan pandangan umum daripada saman sivil KARI (Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative) di Amerika Syarikat yang melibatkan ahli keluarga dan sahabat akrab "Pegawai Nombor Satu Malaysia". - A.Kadir Jasin

The Options For Jho Low...

Jho Low will go to jail. Most likely in more than one country. That means substantial jail time. The options for Jho Low depend on how much jail time he can tolerate.  Secondly will his father and brother also be hauled off to jail.

Finally, how much stash will he have left over despite being sent to jail.  Like in the movies, the crooks dont mind spending time in jail because they have stashed their loot somewhere.

We do not know exactly how many billions they have stolen. And as I said long ago, this theft took place in 2009 - six years ago.  The money they stole must have earned interest and dividend income over the years. The money must have grown. There is no way the FBI, the Swiss, Singapore, Luxembourg etc can seize ALL those billions. And folks, there MUST be diamonds.

Hot money looks for high value items that are small and which can be easily moved around.  Expensive art works and diamonds serve the purpose well. (Have you seen the movie Inside Man starring Clive Owen).  Gold is for refugees. A metric tonne of pure gold should be about RM160 - 170 million or US40++ million (approx).  Can you imagine transporting a tonne of gold? And these folks have stolen billions of US Dollars.

So Jho Low must have a stash he keeps somewhere. Believe me, legends will arise - and people will search for Jho Low's Billions or Jho Lows Diamonds. So the best option for Jho Low would be to just cooperate with whoever can cut a deal with him. This is what his family should be advising their son.

MOF1(Malaysian Official 1) and Big Hair are history. Bird poop on the windscreen.  People will forget about them. Once they are down even Pemuda UMNO will be spitting on them. They are political animals. So Jho Low's family (dad and brother are also involved) will not worry too much about MOF1 and Big Hair.

What kind of deals can Jho Low cut?  Well they have mentioned MOF1.  Surely they must nail him. As Dr Mahathir has asked, they have named Jho Low, Riza, Eric Tan etc. So why stop from naming MOF1? It looks unfair.

So the FBI, the US AG will face questions like these. Hence they will be under pressure to name MOF1 and prosecute him. This is where Jho Low will be of the greatest help.

If Jho Low sings and cooperates with the FBI then it is an open and shut case.  He can tell them that he was just the macai, the errand boy. Which is actually true. He can negotiate a lighter jail sentence. Once he is out of jail, some of those billions may still be waiting for him. Even if it is just one tenth left over, 10% of a billion is one hundred million. The best option for Jho Low is to cut a deal with the FBI, the Swiss, Singapore etc. Let MOF1 go to jail.

But there will be a price. Jho Low and his family will be walking on egg shells from now onwards.  And they must be avoiding empty oil drums at all costs.  These objects can be hazardous to their health. But not for too long. Once the politicians are out of office, they have no power. They have nothing. Some other people are also out of town. 


p.s.  Here is a footnote. MOF1 put US681 million in his account at one bank. He used US61 million. He did not  "return" the balance US620 million. He just sent it out to his other accounts (held by others) and the funds were used to buy the art works, penthouses etc. All those boys (Jho Low, Eric, Jasmine etc) were just macais. The money was always under their control. - OSTB

Four songs for ‘Malaysian Official 1’...

While we await more exposés by the United States’ Department of Justice (DOJ), let us speculate on the four songs that the “Malaysian Official 1” might wish, to hear. They might be, Leaving on a Jet Plane by John Denver. Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me to the Moon. Maybe Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run. Perhaps, These Boots were Made for Walking by Nancy Sinatra.

The rakyat suffered. The money could have been used to improve the lives of Malaysians, but it was redirected to purportedly benefit the individuals named in the American lawsuit. The Americans refused to condone a corrupt regime, because it builds mistrust. Moreover, they would not allow America to be used as a money-laundering haven for corrupt dictators.

Back home, a wall of silence, and an impenetrable fog of denial, was being built in Putrajaya. How could the people in Putrajaya, the Cabinet, the high-ranking officials say, and do nothing?

First up was the Communications and Multimedia Minister, Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak, who urged Malaysians not to believe the American allegations about 1MDB. “No one should rush to judgment before allegations are proven in court,” he said. (sic)

Amazingly, the Malaysian Attorney-General, Tan Sri Apandi Ali, said that there was no proof that funds had been misappropriated from 1MDB.

Alas, hard work has affected Apandi’s reasoning. Was he not aware of his predecessor, Tan Sri Gani Patail’s, allegedly forced, early retirement? Is Apandi so busy that he does not know 1MDB was being investigated in seven countries around the world? Did he not read that because of 1MDB, a 143-year-old Swiss Bank, was forced to close?

Bank Negara’s revelation about ‘Good Star’ and Penangite Jho Low’s alleged role in siphoning 681 American pies into someone’s private bank account was explosive news. The IGP may have interviewed 25 people, but if the wrong people are asked for interview, and the wrong set of questions were posed, nothing new would come to light.

Third loyalist was Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, who maintained that the PM was not implicated, as he had not been mentioned in the 1MDB investigation.

What can one say about Abdul Rahman, but that he is clearly out of touch with the Malaysian public and flustered by the international probe into 1MDB.  His claim to infamy is that he once urged people to “return to the kampong” to escape the ravages of urban living.

Where is Jho Low? What must his alma mater, Harrow School, think of one of their old boys? One former classmate, who preferred to remain anonymous, alleged that Jho Low was a quiet boy, a nondescript loner, with few friends at school. It contrasts with his image of a flamboyant, life-and-soul-of-the-party sort of person, cosying up with the likes of Paris Hilton.

Where is Riza Aziz, the step son of the Prime Minister? His name has cropped-up many times in the American lawsuit. 

We know what the Japanese and South Koreans would do to defend their honour, and as we do not know the identity of “Malaysian Official 1”, we wonder what his next move will be. - Mariam Mokhtar

National Security Act The "Dirty Harry make my day" clause!...

Our nation lurches from one crisis to another. It stumbles, falls and then crawls towards another day in the hope that another day may bring about blessed relief from the vagaries and toxic fallout that that our politicians seems bent on inflicting upon us all. Upon you and me. But always, what another day brings upon us is more of the same -  only more delibitating, more punishing and takes from us, bit by bit, that will to stand up to the criminal political elites that are responsible for these deeds!

And why should we not feel helpless and hopeless in the face of this Umno led Barisan Nasional government hell bent upon imposing their political will upon anyone that stands in their way to govern? Why indeed!

Let me speak for myself. 

I have lived through everyone of those 22 years of Mahathir's time as prime minister...every one of them! There are many stories I can tell of what that man did to and for our country, to and for our people and of course to and for himself but I know this to be a fact.... Mahthir is not a corrupt prime minister. 

He erred in many ways. He was petulant to the point of being vengeful when faced with anyone that dares to question his commitment to  make the change he deemed Malaysia and Malaysians needed and he unhesitatingly and some say wickedly, wielded the considerable political clout he had to neutralise and pulverise any dissent. 

His use, misuse and abuse of political power was done with impunity and he went about consolidating that ability in his personal self because for Mahathir, the ends justifies the means....an obsession that has spawned two prime minister after Mahathir, both of whom, by the things that they do in the name of government, has since shown Mahathir the error of his ways. 

Yes Mahathir erred. Today Malaysia and Malaysians have in Najib Razak  the prime minister that Mahathir's has to take responsibility for spawning.

To his credit, Mahathir has taken that responsibility and is doing something about it....possibly too little and too late. This we will  only know in the fullness of time. To those of you unforgiving of Mahathir's ways during his time as lord and total masters over all things Malaysian may I remind you of this. If, after a life of sins and frivolities, a Muslim with the last breath he draws upon this earth intones "laa ilaaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah'. ..maka “Tidak masuk neraka orang yang mengatakan laa ilaaha illallah.” ...so who are we mere mortals to not forgive Mahathir for what he has done if he has now repent?...but I digress. 
   
For now our people and our nation have to deal with Najib Razak  and that seems to be an impossibility given that Najib has the political will, the large armies and deep pockets that he needs to stay where we do not want him to stay : as prime minister of Malaysia.

For too long and too often we have been told that Najib is a dead man walking! 

Believe what you want of the things you have heard and read about the imminent political demise of Najib Razak but I can tell you that the man is alive and well, in good health and living the good life with all his faculties intact.  And come 1st August the National Security Act will hand him dictatorial powers to do what he likes, against whoever he likes for any six months at a time. And if you think what Najib has done in the past is abominable...you ain't seen anything yet!

What is the National Security Act?

One clause of that act will tell you what the NSA is all about  and I call it the "Dirty Harry make my day" clause ...."the clause that cancels the formal inquest into the death of anyone killed by army or police in any crackdown under its provisions". 

Translation : The authorities can kill anybody they like by invoking the above act and there is nothing any one can do about it!

We are all familiar with these names : Teoh Beng Hock, Kugan, Aminurasyid, Altantuya, Kevin Morais, Najadi Hussein and many many others...all killed on the streets of Malaysia or while in the custody of the authorities...and we have seen how impossible it has been to bring the perpetrators of these murders to justice. 

After 1st August 2016, the authorities can invoke that "Dirty Harry make my day" clause and close one eye and shut the other when the army or the police, acting on the orders of the BN government, shoot anyone dead!

That "anyone they can shot dead" includes you and me! 

Think about that for a bit today and try to get your head around "."the clause that cancels the formal inquest into the death of anyone killed by army or police in any crackdown under its provisions". Imagine giving that power to Najib Razak!  Enough said! - steadyaku47
