Muhyiddin gugur, Zahid Hamidi jadi TPM...

Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dilantik sebagai timbalan perdana menteri yang baharu hari ini, dan pada masa sama akan mengekalkan portfolionya sekarang sebagai menteri dalam negeri.

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak membuat pengumuman tersebut hari ini dalam satu siaran secara langsung, mengesahkan laporan The Malaysian Insider pagi ini mengenai rombakan kabinet.

Najib turut mengumumkan penyingkiran Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin sebagai timbalannya, menyifatkannya satu "keputusan amat sukar" tetapi terpaksa dilakukan bagi memastikan Kabinet bergerak sebagai satu pasukan yang jitu.

"Saya boleh terima perbezaan pendapat dan kritikan sebagai sebahagian daripada proses dalam membuat keputusan.

"Namun sebagai anggota Kabinet, perbezaan pendapat dan pandangan tidak sepatutnya dilakukan pada forum terbuka yang boleh menjejaskan pandangan umum terhadap kerajaan serta negara," katanya.

Ia juga bertentangan dengan konsep tanggungjawab bersama Kabinet (collective responsibility), kata Najib.

Beliau berkata, rombakan Kabinet itu dilakukan selepas mengambil kira pertimbangan politik dan keperluan pentadbiran beliau bagi memastikan ia komited dan sentiasa fokus kepada usaha pembangunan negara. 

"Keputusan menggantikan Muhyiddin merupakan satu keputusan yang amat sukar, tetapi terpaksa saya lakukan agar Jemaah Menteri dapat bergerak sebagai satu pasukan yang jitu.

"Di kesempatan ini saya ingin mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan terima kasih di atas khidmat bakti yang dicurahkan oleh Muhyiddin.

"Begitu juga oleh menteri dan timbalan menteri yang kini tidak lagi bersama saya di dalam pentadbiran kerajaan," kata Najib dalam pengumumannya yang disiarkan secara langsung di kaca televisyen.

"Keputusan saya menggantikan Muhyiddin dengan Zahid, menggugurkan empat orang menteri dan seorang timbalan menteri serta perubahan portfolio, dibuat setelah mengambil kira pertimbangan politik dan kepentingan pentadbiran.”

Zahid sementara itu berkata, pelantikannya sebagai timbalan perdana menteri bukanlah satu habuan tetapi tanggungjawab kepada negara, bangsa dan negara.

Turut digugurkan daripada barisan Jemaah Menteri hari ini ialah naib presiden Umno Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal yang sebelum ini memegang jawatan menteri pembangunan luar bandar dan kesejahteraan bandar.

Beliau juga sebelum ini dilihat lantang menegur cara Putrajaya mengendalikan krisis 1MDB. – tmi

Najib axes deputy, attorney general amid fund scandal...

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, stung by allegations that he received some $700 million in government money, on Tuesday fired the attorney general who had been investigating him and a deputy who has been among his most prominent critics.

Najib is under increasing pressure over leaked confidential documents that allegedly show the money, from state investment fund 1MDB, went into his personal accounts.

Najib announced over national television Tuesday that his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin will be replaced by Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, a Cabinet member who will also retain his home minister portfolio. Earlier Tuesday, the government announced it had terminated the services of Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail.

Najib said he also dropped four other ministers to strengthen his administration and ensure they can "work as a team."

 

"I can accept differences in opinion and criticisms as part of the decision-making process, but these differences in opinion should not be made in an open forum that can affect public perception of the government and the country," he said.

Critics slammed Gani's abrupt removal and cast it as an attempt by Najib to avoid prosecution.

"The purge commences. The Attorney-General is replaced. Any flicker of hope that the prime minister might be charged for misdeeds is extinguished," opposition lawmaker Tony Pua tweeted.

"The fact that he is not answering the allegations but instead removed his critics is not a good sign," said Wan Saiful Wan Jan, who heads the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs think tank. "It shows deep desperation on Najib's side."

Muhyiddin, the deputy, has been critical of the government's handling of 1MDB's massive debt and on Sunday night repeated his call for Najib to explain the alleged funds transfer.

Najib said, "The decision to replace Muhyiddin was a very difficult one, but I had to do it so that a strong team can move forward."

 

Gani was replaced by a Federal Court judge, Mohamed Apandi Ali(below), months before the attorney general had been due to retire in October. The government said Gani was leaving for health reasons, but when contacted by Malay Mail Online, Gani said he had not been aware of the decision.

Gani confirmed earlier this month that he had received documents from investigators that linked Najib and 1MDB. The existence of the documents, which allegedly show $700 million was wired from entities linked to 1MDB into Najib's accounts, were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Najib has not disputed the existence of the accounts or the receipt of the funds. He has only said that he has never used government funds for personal gain, and called the allegations a political sabotage. Officials with 1MDB also have denied wrongdoing.

 

The documents sent to the attorney general pave the way for possible criminal charges, which would be a first for a Malaysian prime minister.

Apart from Muhyiddin, Najib also dropped Shafie Apdal as rural development minister. Shafie, a vice president in Najib's ruling Malay party, has also been critical of the government's handling of the 1MDB saga. On Tuesday he defended his comments, saying in a statement that they were aimed at strengthening the party and putting the country on the right track.

Najib's ruling National Front coalition has been in power since independence from Britain in 1957. However, support for the coalition has eroded in the last two general elections. In 2013, it won the polls but lost the popular vote for the first time.- bigstory.ap.org
 
Najib said he hoped the new cabinet line-up would committ to the programmes underlined by his BN government adding the Yang di Pertuan Agong would preside over their oath-taking ceremony at 10am tomorrow at the Istana Negara.The announcement, carried live over television, saw the dropping of five ministers and the appointment of seven new ministers.

Rombak kabinet, pecat Muhyidin, ganti AG, angkat 4 ahli PAC jadi Tim.Menteri dan pilih Ketua SB baru. Munkinkah semua ini untuk selamatkan Najib dan Rosmah...

cheers.

Din - Najib tak dengar nasihat saya...

Muhyiddin, dalam ucapan perasmian mesyuarat agung UMNO Bahagian Cheras telah membangkitkan pelbagai isu yang hangat,termasuklah isu 1MDB.  Antara intipati ucapan Muhyiddin berkaitan 1MDB di Cheras itu ialah:-

- Najib perlu jawab tuduhan duit berbilion masuk ke dalam akaun peribadinya.

- Najib tak dengar nasihat saya agar letak jawatan dalam 1MDB.

- Saya baca The Edge yang digantung permitnya untuk faham mengenai 1MDB. Kalau The Edge tak betul, tunjukkan saya apa yang betul.

- BN akan kalah jika Najib adakan pilihanraya dalam waktu terdekat ini.

- Tun Mahathir ibarat bapa kita. Berhentilah menghentamnya kerana ia akan menjadikan bekas Perdana Menterti itu tambah popular, manakala kita jadi semakin jatuh. 

Isu 1MDB dan kaitannya dengan Najib adalah perkara besar yang sedang menghenyak kedudukan parti dan kerajaan ke paras paling rendah di sisi rakyat ketika ini.

Ia bukan saja berkaitan hutang, pelaburan, Jho Low dan pelbagai keraguan lain mengenai syarikat pelaburan itu, tetapi yang lebih membingungkan ialah tidak pernah sebelum ini mana-mana Perdana Menteri dituduh menerima kemasukan wang ke dalam akaun peribadi sebesar RM2.6 bilion jumlahnya.

Orang kampung dan makcik Felda barangkali boleh jadi pening kepala dan mamai berhari-hari memikirkan jumlah wang sebanyak itu.

Apatah lagi, tuduhan itu tidak dijawab dengan mantap oleh Najib sendiri yang menyebabkan berlegarnya pelbagai spekulasi liar mengenainya sehingga bukan saja menyebabkan pengundi tegar pembangkang dan atas pagar bertekad untuk terus menjauhi kerajaan, malah penyokong BN sendiri ramai yang mulai beralih arah.

Ada yang bertekad tidak mahu lagi mengundi BN berikutan isu ini, manakala yang lain sehingga bersumpah mengharamkan undi mereka kepada BN selagi Najib menjadi Perdana Menteri.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin menyarankan supaya laporan awal 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) dijadikan dokumen awam. Menurut beliau, langkah itu perlu agar masyarakat mengetahui dengan apa yang sebenarnya berlaku dalam kes tersebut. Beliau berucap ketika ucapan penggulunga...n Mesyuarat UMNO Bahagian Cheras di Kuala Lumpur pada Ahad - TMI.

************************
Wooooh, selepas gempak dengan aksi video di Janda Baik dua bulan lalu, tetiba Muhyiddin buat comeback ! Menarik beb .... Boleh bikin team Najib tarik brek ni haha!!

Terbaru TMI ada laporan yang dipecahkan kepada beberapa artikel mengikut topik berlainan -

"Dalam suasana negara yang dihadapi kini saya rasa agak tergamam apa yang patut saya cakapkan, tapi saya nak ingatkan apa yang diungkapkan dalam perhimpunan agung tahunan lalu mengulas megenai dakwaan pembangkang dalam pilihan raya umum lalu mereka menang undi popular.

"Dan walaupun kita menang namun pada waktu itu jika undi popular berterusan turun sebanyak 2 % maka ia akan menyaksikan BN kalah dalam PRU akan datang.

"Juga saya ada bertanyakan dalam pertemuan retreat dengan pimpinan Wanita Umno di Putrajaya. Saya tanya bagaimana kalau perdana menteri bubar Parlimen adakah kita akan menang atau tidak, tidak ada seorang pun yang menjawab yakin untuk menang," katanya semasa ucapan penutup mesyuarat Umno Cheras di Kuala Lumpur hari ini. - TMI.

Dari segi asasnya, kenyataan di atas lebihkurang sama dengan artikel saya sebelum ini ( KLiK ), baca juga luahan para pengomen mengenai Najib, Umno dan PRU14.

Pendek kata, baguslah kalau Muhyiddin sedar akan sentimen yang tidak memihak kepada Umno dikalangan rakyat ketika ini, Dan ianya berkait rapat dengan Najib Rosmah.

"Saya setuju Dr Mahathir ibarat bapa kita, beliau bekas perdana menteri ada banyak idea.

"Saya tidak pernah ada masalah dengan beliau (Dr Mahathir), tidak sulit untuk saya komunikasi dengan beliau dalam beberapa pertemuan .

"Jadi berhentilah hentam Dr Mahathir, beliau adalah bekas perdana menteri, lagi anda hentam, lagi populariti beliau melonjak sehingga mencecah bumbung dan kedudukan kita pula jatuh," - TMI.

Nasihat yang bernas buat Najib dan askar2nya ......

Makin diungkit isu2 basi zaman Tun Mahathir jadi PM dulu, makin kuat orang buat perbandingan dengan Najib. Semakin jelas pandangan rakyat yang melihat sekeliling mereka ....... semuanya datang hasil zaman Tun Mahathir.

Zaman Najib ? Gempak jer lebih, slogan tak putus2 ..... hasil yilek. 1MDB dengan RM42 billion adalah contoh terbaik. Apa hasilnya ? LELONG harta negara nak bayar hutang. Ambil hutang untuk beli aset yang kemudiannya dilelong untuk bayar hutang itu balik ...... HEBAT !

"Saya sendiri pun sukar nak faham mengenai 1MDB, sampai saya terpaksa baca dari The Edge

"Orang cakap dekat saya laporan The Edge tidak betul, jadi bagitau saya apa yang betul," - TMI.

Yang ini paling menarik ! Termasuk yang di bawah ini juga. Amat sesuai untuk kita buat sedikit analisa. Sila baca dua tiga kali untuk selami apa yang boleh kita terjemahkan disebalik kenyataan ini.

"Saya beritahu beliau untuk lepaskan jawatanya dalam 1MDB tapi beliau tidak mahu dengar.

"Saya tidak punyai niat jahat, niat saya baik untuk tolong beliau," - TMI.

OK, Kenapa Muhyiddin minta Najib lepaskan jawatan dalam 1MDB kalau 1MDB tidak ada masalah ? Kenapa minta Najib cuci tangan ?

Kenapa Muhyiddin baca The Edge semata2 untuk mendapatkan maklumat tentang 1MDB ?Apakah Muhyiddin juga tidak baca dan tidak faham buku penerangan mengenai 1MDB yang diedarkan kepada kabinet ?

Apakah orang nombor 2 dalam kerajaan juga tidak ada akses kepada 1MDB ? Apakah yang Muhyiddin tahu mengenai 1MDB SEBELUM isunya menjadi panas ?

Jadi benarlah 1MDB ini bergerak secara senyap2 tanpa pengetahuan kabinet ! Kenapa ? Nak sorok apa ?

RM42 billion duit rakyat diperjudikan tanpa pengetahuan kabinet ???

Ketika ini ramai yang duk bising dengan isu ubahsuai maklumat siap ngan pak Menteri juga sebut tentang tindakan2 tegas terhadap mereka yang disyaki terbabit. Gantung permit dan sekat portal kerana di SYAKI ubahsuai maklumat.

Nah sekarang Muhyiddin juga bertanya - Orang cakap laporan The Edge tidak betul, jadi bagitau saya apa yang betul !

Lawak lah tengok wakil2 kerajaan kita tiap2 hari duk melalak pasal isu ubahsuai maklumat. Tunjukkanlah mana satu maklumat yang sudah diubahsuai itu dan tunjukkan yang betulnya macamana !

Takkan itu pun nak tubuh jawatankuasa untuk siasat ? ?

Serius beb ..... The Edge dah lapor mengenai isu 1MDB ini hampir 2 tahun, dan selama ini kita duk pung pang pung pang berbalas hujah dengan 1MDB dan wakil kerajaan termasuk Najib, TIDAK SEKALI PUN mereka sebut tentang salah maklumat.

Alih2 si Justo sebut tentang KEMUNGKINAN maklumat yang dijualnya diubahsuai, baru pro Najib pun ikut sama melalak isu ubahsuai maklumat !! Pelik ......

Selama ini 1MDB dan kerajaan TAK TAHU ke apa yang disiarkan oleh TheEdge dan SR itu salah ?

Ni apa punya syarikat billion2 ni ?

Sekarang bukan saja 1MDB dan Najib yang kena perjelaskan persoalan2 mengenai urusniaga 1MDB, tapi kerajaan juga telah diheret sama dalam isu kredibiliti !

Bagi ramai rakyat yang mengikuti isu ini, kita tak kisah kalau The Edge dan SR didapati bersalah, maka hukumlah mereka. No hal. Tapi kita nak tahu mengenai 1MDB dan akaun Najib.

Oya, selepas beberapa minggu berlalu sejak pendedahan WSJ mengenai deposit RM2.7 billion ke dalam akaun peribadi Najib, saya rasa pihak Task Force kena jawab apakah benar dakwaan itu.

Task Force ni sebenarnya SIASAT APA ? kalau tidak ada kes, kenapa berminggu2 duk siasat, duk tahan suspek bagai ...... apa kes ?

********************************

Saya cek maksud MONEY LAUNDERING, iaitu salah satu tuduhan yangdi mainkan oleh beberapa pihak sejak akhir2 ini -

Money laundering is the process of making illegally-gained proceeds (i.e. "dirty money") appear legal (i.e. "clean"). Typically, it involves three steps: placement, layering and integration. First, the illegitimate funds are furtively introduced into the legitimate financial system. Then, the money is moved around to create confusion, sometimes by wiring or transferring through numerous accounts. Finally, it is integrated into the financial system through additional transactions until the "dirty money" appears "clean."[3]

hmmmm ..... yang lebih sesuai dengan maksud Money Laundering adalah dakwaan terhadap 1MDB dimana wang dipindah2kan ke beberapa akaun, ditukar2 bentuk bagi tujuan mengelirukan. Begitu juga dengan dakwaan billion2 deposit ke dalam akaun peribadi Najib.

Setakat jual beli info ...... errr.... itu cuma satu urusniaga direct. Info curi itu kesalahan lain, bukannya money laundering.

Jadi terimakasih kepada mereka yang memperkenalkan terma Money Laundering itu !

PS - Kalau kita mengambilkira lawak Tunai-Aset-Just Unit, mungkin boleh diterima jugalah kalau 1MDB dan kerajaan terpaksa menunggu dakwaan Justo mengenai isu ubahsuai maklumat terlebih dahulu sebelum melalak sama ...... agaknya sebelum Justo bersuara, mereka pun tak terfikir kemungkinan maklumat yang disiarkan TheEdge dan SR telah diubahsuai..... cuba klik balik artikel2 lama mengenai isu 1MDB, ada sesiapa pernah sebut tentang ubahsuai tak sebelum ini ? - dinturtle

Tolong bagi tahu saya apa yang betul...

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin mangakui beliau terpaksa menjadikan akhbar The Edge untuk mendapatkan maklumat mengenai kemelut yang berlaku melibatkan anak syarikat kerajaan 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

Timbalan Perdana Menteri berkata, rakyat tidak mempunyai pilihan lain selain mempercayai pendedahan yang dibuat The Edge walaupun sumbernya dikatakan tidak boleh dipercayai.

“Saya sendiri sukar nak faham isu 1MDB, sehingga saya terpaksa membaca banyak bahan dan saya tak nafi terpaksa baca The Edge.

“Ada orang tegur saya dalam Kabinet, laporan The Edge tak betul, jadi tolong bagi tahu saya apa yang betul, tapi tidak bagi tahu sampai sekarang,” Katanya semasa berucap merasmikan Mesyuarat Perwakilan UMNO Bahagian Cheras di Berjaya Times Square pada Ahad.

Mengulas lanjut, beliau turut membidas tindakan segelintir pemimpin parti yang terlalu menyalahkan pihak lain sekiranya sesuatu laporan itu dikeluarkan khususnya berhubung isu 1MDB.

Katanya, pihak kerajaan sendiri tidak mengeluarkan satu kenyataan yang jelas berhubung isu 1MDB. 

“Kamu tidak boleh salahkan pihak lain untuk mencari apa sumber kerana tidak ada sesuatu kenyataan yang jelas apa sebenarnya berlaku (oleh pihak kerajaan),” katanya.

Tambah Muhyiddin, beliau acap kali memberi cadangan kepada Kabinat supaya mempercepatkan laporan berhubung isu 1MDB.

Sebaliknya, Kabinet perlu menunggu siasatan daripada pihak Jawatankuasa Kira-Kira Wang Negara (PAC), katanya.

“Bila ditanya, kita tunggu-tunggu, selagi tak keluar tunggu-tunggu, sampai bila tidak tahu, tunggu PAC punca kerja, dan rakyat bertanya apa yang betul.

Sehubungan itu beliau berharap, isu 1MDB dapat diselesaikan secepat mungkin kerana ia isu yang besar kepada negara, malah akan dijadikan modal oleh pihak pembangkang untuk menyerang kerajaan jika tidak ditanggani.- fmt

If not The Edge, then which source can be trusted for 1MDB reports

Muhyiddin denounced as traitor to Malays...

The Umno website MyKMU.net today highlighted a reader’s email that condemned Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin as a traitor to the Malays and Umno.

The reader, Amin Yatim, referred to a speech Muhyiddin delivered at the closing of Cheras Umno’s annual meeting last night, which was critical of Prime Minister Najib Razak in his role as chief adviser of the scandal ridden 1MDB.

Addressing the DPM, Amin said, “It was confirmed last night that you, the Deputy President of Umno, has the status of a traitor to the Malays, Umno and your Cabinet colleagues.

“You have not only placed the party president in a bad light and questioned the Cabinet’s handling of the 1MDB issue, but you’ve also divulged what you discussed with your Cabinet colleagues. Despite your attempt at softening your tone, it was obvious that you were referring to 1MDB as a major scandal.”

Amin also took offence at Muhyiddin’s remark that Barisan Nasional would lose if the general election were to be held today. He said such discouraging words were out of place in an address to an Umno division, where he should have instead boosted the confidence of the delegates and called for preparedness to face voters at any time.

He said Muhyiddin spoke as if he was contesting for the Umno presidency or “intending to destroy” the party.

“If you had any sincerity, you would have said it was best to let the relevant authorities find out the truth and establish justice in the 1MDB case.

“Unfortunately, you chose to try to be a hero by assaulting the party president.” - fmt

They can't even get Sirul, they want Rewcastle...

The Home Ministry has no chance of extraditing Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown when it has consistently failed to get wanted Malaysians who have fled out of country, including a convicted murderer, Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng says.

Lim said those involved in least four high profile cases were now abroad - sex blogger Alvin Tan, Facebook activist Ali Abdul Jalil, Malaysia Today website owner Raja Petra Kamaruddin and former policeman Sirul Azhar Umar, who was convicted for murdering Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

"I don't think the home minister has any chance to get Clare Rewcastle-Brown if the government cannot get those Malaysians back.

"Their cases took place in Malaysia and then they ran away to another country.

"Until now we have failed to repatriate or extradite them back to Malaysia. So now, our home minister is talking about getting Rewcastle-Brown, a British citizen, from her own country.

"This is a big bluff, a 'syok sendiri' bluff. Our officials like this kind of 'syok sendiri' bluff," Lim (photo) told Malaysiakini yesterday.

He said he had in March asked Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in Parliament about the status of the four Malaysians, who are believed to be in United States, Sweden, United Kingdom and Australia respectively.

The response from Zahid then, Lim said, was that “the process is complicated and must be handled delicately".

Urgency to meet Justo?

Yesterday, Zahid said if the police investigation on Rewcastle-Brown finds “criminal elements”, action would be taken, including calling for her extradition to Malaysia.

"If there are criminal elements committed by Rewcastle -Brown, there is already bilateral exchange of intelligence between Malaysia and Britain.

"Depending on the results of the police investigation, the ministry, through Wisma Putra, will deal with the British government if there is a prima facie case for legal action against Rewcastle-Brown," Zahid said in a statement.

Lim, who is also a lawyer, said there was absolutely no legal basis for Rewcastle-Brown to be extradited as she has not been charged with any offence or proven to be involved in any criminal activity.

"No, nothing, not a single piece of evidence and not an ounce of proof (to implicate Rewcastle-Brown)," he said.

The MP added in a statement this morning that it is clear the police are not acting impartially in handling Justo and the other wanted Malaysians.

“Inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar on his own account flew to Bangkok without being ordered, to try his luck at questioning Justo based on a rumour, and his request was rejected (by the Thais) twice."

He said in contrast, the convicted felon did not receive such urgent attention.

“Khalid and the government did not do anything at all to go and meet Sirul in Perth,” he said.

“Doesn’t this show Khalid as being biased?” asked the MP. - mk

Jika hudud jadi isu PRU13 lalu,PR dah lama tonggek...

Rangka dasar bersama atau common policy framework perlu menjadi pegangan dan amalan asas untuk gerakan baru pembangkang mencapai kemenangan.

Ketua Parlimen DAP, Lim Kit Siang berkata, gabungan pembangkang akan tewas teruk dalam PRU akan datang jika ada komponennya melanggar atau tidak mempedulikan dasar bersama, khususnya jika ia melibatkan hudud sebagai isu kontroversi.

“Rakyat sedang menanti kelahiran gabungan baru progresif Malaysia, dan DAP akan bekerjasama dengan mana-mana kumpulan dan parti seperti PKR dan parti baru yang akan ditubuhkan oleh Gerakan Harapan Baru (GHB).

“Gabungan baru ini penting untuk menyelamatkan Malaysia daripada menjadi negara parah akibat korupsi teruk, ketidakadilan ekonomi, dan runtuhnya pentadbiran baik,” katanya dalam dialog Citra Baru DAP: Meneroka Masa Depan Baru di sini semalam.

Kit Siang yang juga Ahli Parlimen Gelang Patah menjelaskan bahawa jika pelanggaran Dasar Bersama Pakatan Rakyat berlaku sebelum PRU13 yang lalu dengan hudud sebagai isu kontroversi, keputusan pada 5 Mei 2013 sudah tentu berbeza.

Ujar beliau, keputusan yang berbeza itu akan memperlihatkan Pakatan kehilangan Selangor manakala UMNO-Barisan Nasional kembali menguasai majoriti dua pertiga Parlimen.

Beliau mengingatkan semua pihak bahawa undi bukan-Melayu pada PRU tahun 1999 telah memihak kepada BN kerana ia berjaya memanipulasi keadaan melalui penguasaan media dengan memaparkan pembangkang Barisan Alternatif sebagai pendokong “Negara Islam”.

Walaupun PRU 1999 dikelilingi dengan semangat reformasi di kalangan pengundi Melayu, undi bukan-Melayu yang takut dengan “Negara Islam” sebenarnya telah mengekalkan kuasa UMNO-BN.

Sehubungan itu, Kit Siang menyatakan bahawa perkara yang sama mungkin berulang dalam PRU13 lalu kerana 20% undi bukan-Melayu akan gagal diperolehi Pakatan jika hudud menjadi isu utama pada 2013.

Beliau memberi contoh, jika undi Melayu meningkat 1% tetapi undi bukan-Melayu merosot 20% dalam PRU13 (kerana isu hudud), kesannya amat buruk kepada pembangkang, khususnya di Pantai Barat Semenanjung, iaitu:

Bagi keseluruhan kerusi Parlimen, Pakatan Rakyat akan hanya mampu menang 21% atau 46 kerusi, dan ini bererti UMNO-BN merampas semula majoriti dua pertiga kerusi (Pakatan sebenarnya menang 89 kerusi Parlimen, dan UMNO-BN masih gagal memperolehi majoriti dua pertiga kerusi);

Bagi keseluruhan kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) di seluruh negara, Pakatan Rakyat akan hanya mampu menang 134 kerusi DUN (Pakatan sebenarnya menang 229 kerusi DUN);

Di Pulau Pinang, Pakatan Rakyat akan berjaya mengekalkan pentadbiran negeri tetapi dengan hanya 25 kerusi DUN (DAP 17, PKR 7, PAS 1) (berbanding 30 yang dimenangi sebenarnya);

Di Selangor, Pakatan Rakyat akan tewas dengan hanya menang 21 kerusi DUN (DAP 11, PAS 5, PKR 5) (berbanding 44 yang dimenangi sebenarnya);

Di Johor, Pakatan Rakyat akan hanya menang 4 kerusi DUN (kesemuanya DAP), berbanding 18 kerusi yang diperolehi sekarang;

Di Perak, Pakatan Rakyat akan hanya menang 17 kerusi DUN (DAP 14, PKR 2, PAS 1) berbanding 28 yang diperolehi sekarang;

Di Pahang, Pakatan Rakyat akan hanya menang 4 kerusi DUN (DAP 2, PAS 2) berbanding 12 yang diperolehi sekarang;

Di Negeri Sembilan, Pakatan Rakyat akan hanya menang 6 kerusi DUN (kesemuanya DAP) berbanding 14 sekarang; dan

Di Melaka, Pakatan Rakyat akan hanya menang 3 kerusi DUN (kesemuanya DAP) berbanding 7 sekarang.
 
Senario “peningkatan undi Melayu 1% – pengurangan undi-bukan Melayu 20%” – jika ia berlaku pada PRU13 yang lalu – menunjukkan bahawa walaupun DAP kehilangan banyak kerusi, PAS dan PKR yang sebenarnya kalah teruk, khususnya di Pantai Barat Semenanjung. – Roketkini.com

Ekstradisi saya perlu sebab2 yang lebih baik...

Clare Rewcastle-Brown, pengasas dan pengarang laman pendedah maklumat Sarawak Report berkata Putrajaya perlu mempunyai "sebab lebih baik" jika mahu mengekstradisi beliau ke Malaysia bagi tuduhan "campur tangan" hal ehwal negara.

Menjawab kenyataan Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) semalam, kerajaan Malaysia mungkin akan mendapatkan bantuan Britain untuk mengekstradisi beliau jika terdapat kes "prima facie" dibuktikan, Rewcastle-Brown berkata alasan diberikan tidak boleh diterima mengikut undang-undang United Kingdom (UK).

"Beliau lebih baik menyatakan sebab dengan jelas. Kebenaran menjengkelkan terhadap perdana menteri bukan alasan baik dalam undang-undang Britian," katanya kepada The Malaysian Insider ketika dihubungi malam tadi.

Rewcastle-Brown diminta mengulas kenyataan Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yang mengatakan kerajaan mungkin mengekstradisi beliau kerana campur tangan urusan dalaman negara ini.

Kenyataan Zahid hadir sehari selepas sekumpulan kecil individu sebuah pertubuhan bukan kerajaan, Pertubuhan Minda Sosial dan Prihatin (PMSP), menyerahkan memorandum kepada Suruhanjaya Tinggi British di Kuala Lumpur, meminta UK menghalang Rewcastle-Brown daripada campur tangan hal ehwal Malaysia.

Kumpulan itu mendakwa pendedahan Sarawak Report ke atas syarikat sarat hutang 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) adalah satu percubaan untuk "meruntuhkan" negara.

Rewcastle-Brown dituduh menyalahgunakan dokumen 1MDB sebagai sebahagian daripada rancangan menjatuhkan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak, yang juga menteri kewangan dan pengerusi lembaga penasihat 1MDB.

Beliau menafikan dakwaan dibuat bekas wartawan Sarawak Tribune Lester Melanyi, yang mendakwa berkhidmat sebagai pengarang laman sesawang berkenaan. Melanyi membuat "pengakuan" itu menerusi satu video disiarkan oleh pemimpin PMSP, Ramesh Rao Krishnan Naidu.

Melanyi kemudian mengakui dia dibayar kos perbelanjaan perjalanan dan elaun untuk membuat video itu di Kuala Lumpur.

Rewcastle-Brown, bagaimanapun berkata Melanyi tidak pernah bekerja untuk laman sesawang itu.

Laman sesawang Sarawak Report juga disekat pengawal selia Internet Malaysia sejak seminggu yang lalu, atas alasan kandungannya berhubung 1MDB dan boleh menjejaskan kestabilan negara.

Rewcastle-Brown dan laman sesawangnya dipersalahkan kerana mengubahsuai dokumen 1MDB, yang dicuri warga Switzerland, Xavier Andre Justo, daripada bekas majikannya PetroSaudi International.

PetroSaudi mempunyai perjanjian usaha sama dengan 1MDB pada 2009, dan dokumen daripada Justo kemudiannya mendedahkan usaha sama itu didakwa penipuan rumit untuk mencuri AS$1.83 bilion duit Malaysia.

Justo kini dalam tahanan polis Thailand dan akan dihadapkan ke mahkamah atas pertuduhan peras ugut.

Beliau baru-baru ini membuat pengakuan kepada polis untuk menyerahkan maklumat yang dicuri bagi penerbitan Sarawak Report dan beberapa rakyat Malaysia sebagai pertukaran untuk pembayaran, namun berkata tidak pernah menerima wang tersebut.

Dalam satu emel dihantar malam tadi bagi senarai tidak didedahkan penerima melalui salinan karbon, yang mana turut diterima The Malaysian Insider, Sarawak Report berkata, rangkaian peristiwa membawa kepada penyerahan dokumen Justo menunjukkan adalah mustahil untuk maklumat itu diubah.

Ini kerana Sarawak Report sudah mengambil maklumat yang diterima daripada Justo dan menyerahkannya kepada akhbar Sunday Times UK untuk membantu membocorkan maklumat, menurut emel daripada laman sesawang tersebut.

Mereka berkata, maklumat itu sekarang berada dengan pihak berkuasa Amerika Syarikat dan merupakan maklumat sama diberikan The Egde kepada pihak berkuasa Malaysia.

"Malah, pelbagai transaksi, yang dipaparkan dalam artikel Sarawak Report dan penerbitan lain, diluluskan melalui pelbagai bank dan pengawal selia.

"Oleh itu, jika maklumat kami 'dipalsukan', dengan mudah boleh dibuktikan melalui ujian dengan rekod mana-mana satu daripadanya," kata Sarawak Report. – tmi

On pissing off rich Malaysians, getting things wrong and flower power...

I have happy childhood memories of Sarawak. I didn’t return until I’d grown up and established myself in a completely different world [back in the UK], but I’d always followed what was happening in Borneo. By the time I came back in 2006—ironically because I’d been asked to take part in an environmental conference that [Tun Abdul] Taib [Mahmud] was holding at the time—I’d taken time out to have my two boys and it was my little window in life to say, “Well, what do I really care about doing something about?”

There was an attitude, you know: let’s tell the world about what’s happening in poor old Borneo. After a while, I started to think, what about the people in Borneo? If things are going to change in Borneo, it’s going to be the people in Borneo who are going to change them, so why am I talking to people back in the UK? Why not speak to those who are directly affected, instead of making urban dwellers in the west feel guilty about environmental issues that they feel a bit powerless about?

It’s funny how people think they have a right to a reputation just because they’ve made a lot of money.

I’ve learned that if you piss off rich Malaysians in positions of political power, they are ruthless and unscrupulous in what they are prepared to do to get their own back. I’ve had PR outfits, lawyers, computer hackers and radio-jamming professionals thrown at me, but they’ve shot themselves in the foot. They’ve made me into a character I wouldn’t have been if they hadn’t reacted so angrily and expensively. They created my Wikipedia site, for god’s sake.Continue reading...

 

 

'OKAYLAH..'tu.Janji Najib,Jho Low dan kuncu2nya 

bebas bermaharajalela di tanahair yang tercinta...

cheers.

Sudahkah Zahid,Rahman Dahlan & Shabery Cheek melihat dan membaca dokumen asal...

Kuman Diseberang Lautan Nampak, Gajah Didepan Mata Tak Nampak...

Sudahkah melihat dan membaca dokumen asal?
 
Saya hendak tanya satu soalan dan para pembaca pun boleh nilaikan. Semua orang yang keluar kenyataan bahawa Sarawak Report guna dokumen yang telah diubah, palsu dan sebagainya- adakah mereka semua sudah melihat dokumen asal?

Sudahkah Zahid Hamidi sebagai contoh, melihat dan membaca dokumen asal? Dan membandingkan dengan  dokumen yang dikatakan diguna oleh Sarawak Report dan menghukum bahawa ianya sudah dicemari dan dipalsukan?

Ugutan ekstradisi.
 
Bukan senang hendak extradisi seseorang kecuali kenyataan Zahid itu dikeluarkan hanya untuk tujuan menunjukkan kepada rakyat, bahawa Zahid melakukan sesuatu untuk melindungi Najib.

Kenapa hadkan kepada Claire Ruecastle Brown? Jika Brown di ekstradisi, Zahid mesti consistent- WSJ pun kena ekstradisi. Dan ekstradisi juga semua warga asing yang menulis mengenai 1MDB . Asia Sentinel, The Economist Magazine dan sebagai nya. Punggah semua mereka ini.
 
Hal ini satu dunia dah tahu.
 
Bagaiman nak lindung, jika satu dunia sudah tahu apa Pm Najib lakukan? Adakah selepas ini, Zahid mencadangkan perkara ini dibangkitkan di PBB? Bahawa press luar negara serta pertubuhan menggugat kestabilan dan keamanan negara anggota? Mungkinkah Anifah Aman bercakap mengenai perkara ini di PBB?

Jika isiu ini dibangkitkan oleh warga negara malaysia, bagaimana?

Jika Sarawak Report tidak menerbitkan pencerahan dan pendedahan mengenai 1MDB, Jho Low, Peter Mahoney, Tarek Obaid, dan lain, skendel kewangan ini masih tetap didedahkan oleh parti pembangkang.

Soalan nya: bolehkah pembangkang pula dikatakan mencampuri urusan dalam negara kerana bercakap dan mengkritk perkara yang serupa yang dibangkitkan oleh Sarawak Report?

Yang mereka bangkitkan ialah salah gunakuasa, penyongglapan wang, rasuah, dan kemungkinan jenayah sudah dilakukan oleh pemimpin negara ini terutama PM. Yang mereka bangkitkan adalah kebarangkalian suatu jenayah telah dilakukan oleh Jho Low, Nik Faisal Ariff Nik Kamil, Shahrol Helmi, Tarek Obaid, Peter Mahoney, dan rakan2 Jho Low yang lain dalam dan luar Malaysia.

Tidak ada sesiapa pun melihat dokunen asal.
 
Saya percaya, semua yang membuka mulut mengenai dokumen dipalsukan dan diubah tidak melihat dokumen asal.  Jadi bagaimana terus bohong kepada rakyat Malaysia bahawa dokumen yang digunakan adalah dokumen palsu atau sudah diubah?
 
Kenyataan pagi.
 
Adakah mereka bersandarkan kenyataan yang dibuat oleh firma penyiasat PGI yang kenyataan mereka belum dapat disahihkan dalam forum yang sesuai seperti dalam mahkamah terbuka? PGI diupah oleh Petrosaudi- dia tentu cakap perkara yang menyokong Petrosaudi. Sandaran yang tidak kukuh.

Rahman Dahalan tidak pernah tengok, Shabery Chik tidak pernah tengok, polis pun tak pernah tengok. Tunjukkan kepada rakyat Malaysia, supaya tidak timbul dakwa dan dakwi, bahawa dokumen sudah dipalsukan dan diubah.

Apa sebetulnya kesalahan Xavier Justo dan kaitan nya dengan Malaysia.
 
Apa kesalahan yang Xavier Justo lakukan sebenarnya? Zahid Hamidi kata mungkin bawak Justo ke Malaysia untuk dibicarakan di mahkamah Malaysia. Kesalahan Justo dilakukan dimana?

Tuduhan menyatakan Justo melakukan peras ugut berlaku di Thailand. Yang ada kuasa keatas Justo ialah Thailand bukan Malaysia. Namun kalau Justo dibawa ke Malaysia, baik juga kerana lawyer boleh tanya Justo dl mahkamah terbuka.

Justo dituduh melakukan peras ugut keatas majkan nya, Petrosaudi. Petrosaudi pula dilapurkan telah membayar sejumlah wang kepada Justo untuk tutup mulut. Boleh jadi tak cukup maka Justo ugut Petrosaudi.

Itu antara dia dengan syarikat petrosaudi. Tidak membatalkan lapuran keatas 1MDB.
 
Jangan dikelirukan dengan pertunjukan tepian.

Rakyat Malaysia mesti membaca langkah2 dan persembahan sampingan yang di adakan pihak penyokong Najib sebagai bertujuan memesongkan pandangan rakyat terhadap kesalahan dia.
Isu pokok ialah menjawab mana perginya baki wang 1MDB? Dan meyakinkan bahawa 1MDB ada cukup aliran tunai untuk membayar hutang dan menebus bon. Rakyat berhak beranggapan bahawa 1MDB tidak sihat kerana beberapa kali gagal membayar faedah pinjaman.

Jika tak mampu maka rakyat akan menanggung beban hutang. Peminjam tidak akan percaya apa yang disentuh oleh Najib. Najib pun tak boleh jadi jurujual pelaburan di Malaysia.

Sebenarnya, kalau Najib tidak dapat tidur malam, itu bukan masaalah kita. Masaalah kita ialah kalau kita yang tak dapat tidur disebabkan angkara durjana Najib dan konco2 nya.

Pertunjukan sampingan tak boleh batalkan isiu pegaliran duit kedalam akaun peribadi nya. USD700J ke dalam akaun nya datang dari Pak Arab dan RM42M kedalam akaun nya dari SRC. Duit SRC adalah duit rakyat. Masuk kedalam akaun peribadi sudah pecah amanah.

Ini dan banyak lagi dilakukan oleh Najib tapi rakyat Malaysia tidak tahu dan tidak akan tahu jika tidak didedahkan oleh Sarawak Report, The Edge dan parti pembangkang. Janganlah terpedaya dengan air muka Najib dan mulut merah nya.
 
Senarai pertunjukan tepian.

Setakat ini, apa dia pertunjukan sampingan? Antara nya ialah penangkapan Justo, pengakuan orang sakit mental dari Sarawak yang membuat tuduhan liar yang segera di nobatkan sebagai bukti untuk menyelamatkan Najib, rusuhan di Lowyat dan pembunuhan Najdi.

Semua ini pertunjukan2 tepian yang memesong pandangan rakyat dari kesalahan yang lebih besar. Jangan kita terpedaya. - Mohd.Ariff Sabri bin Hj. Abdul Aziz@sakmongkol ak47

Think Malaysians, think...

Think Malaysians, think! Why would the data Justo stole be worth millions and various parties, including PetroSaudi, were willing to pay him if they were not detrimental to some VVIP?

Think! If the data were tampered with, just show the evidence, refute and sue The Edge, SR and WSJ. That would have totally discredit all these publications. Why use someone like Lester Melanyi, a man of ill-repute, to try and discredit SR?  And why does MCMC need to block the Sarawak Report’s website? Why suspend The Edge for 3 months?

Think! The allegations that RM2.6 billion ended up in Najib’s personal account and that RM2 million cash was deposited into Rosmah’s account were NOT denied. For whatever purpose it was used, is it not wrong and illegal?

Think!  The amount uncovered so far, RM2.6 billion, RM7 billion, is just what was uncovered and just 1MDB. What about the remaining amount of the RM42 billion minus cost(not value) of assets bought and the uncovered amount? Was it not Mahathir that estimated something like RM27 billion unaccounted for? Where is the balance? Are there other 1MDBs, smaller schemes to plunder our wealth?

Think! Whose money is it if not the Rakyat’s money? 1MDB borrowed the RM42 billion, guaranteed by the Malaysian government. Who is paying the interest RM2.7 billion annual interest if not the Rakyat?

Think! Why do you think our Government need GST in order not to go bankrupt? A nation blessed with oil, natural resources and industrious people, bankrupt after 52 years of nationhood? We must have the most incompetent Government in the world! And guess who put them there?

Think! Why has our Ringgit fallen like it has? Do you think international investors and traders are fools? They can’t tell who is telling the truth and who is trying to cover up?

Come on Malaysians, think for once and do the right thing. Spread the truth, don’t be afraid. There are more of us who are fed up with this government than those who for reasons best known to themselves, still believe that this is the most efficient and clean government in the world. Think.

1MDB saga: A tale of debt, money trails and allegations

Jika anda ada membaca berita akhir-akhir ini, anda mungkin kenal dengan banyak karakter yang menghiasi tajuk-tajuk utama.

Tokoh-tokoh ini diangkat sebagai wira oleh kerajaan pimpinan BN dan penyokongnya, manakala mereka di pihak pembangkang, dan juga sesiapa yang mempunyai keupayaan berfikir dengan baik, melihat mereka seperti diri mereka - cubaan terdesak untuk wang dan perhatian dan juga kesanggupan mereka turun begitu rendah untuk mendapatkannya.

Tiga karakter yang mendapat liputan berita hari ini adalah - bekas wartawan Lester Melanyi, K Ramesh Rao, yang memimpin NGO yang tidak jelas, dan bekas ahli DAP Tony Tan.

Ramesh dan Melanyi baru-baru ini membuat satu cubaan kelakar untuk menjatuhkan laman pemberi maklumat Sarawak Report, manakala Tan telah mencabar Ahli Parlimen Petaling Jaya Utara Tony Pua untuk “berlaku jujur” mengenai dakwaan wang RM3 juta yang disimpan dalam akaun luar negara di bawah nama isterinya.

Berikut adalah perubahan plot - ketiga-tiga lelaki ini telah muflis.

Tidak, bukan bankrap secara moral atau kekurangan idea, tetapi mereka telah diisytihar muflis oleh Jabatan Insolvensi Malaysia.

Adakah BN dan Umno benar-benar terdesak untuk mempertahankan diri daripada serangan 1MDB sehinggakan mereka mengambil jalan keluar dengan mengambil mereka yang terdesak membantu?

Sesetengah pihak berpandangan hakikat bahawa mereka ini muflis tidak mempunyai kaitan dengan apa yang didedahkan mereka, tetapi kepada yang lain, ianya penting sekali.

Sebagai contoh, ia membantu kita mencipta satu motif. Lelaki-lelaki ini secara kewangan telah jatuh miskin dan memerlukan apa saja pertolongan yang mereka boleh dapatkan untuk mengeluarkan diri mereka daripada kesengsaraan yang dihadapi.

Kemudian datang satu “pertolongan” dalam bentuk menawarkan jumlah wang yang banyak sebagai balasan mereka ke khalayak umum dengan satu pendedahan yang “menggegar dunia”.

Ini bukanlah sebarang andaian ataupun tuduhan.

Melanyi sendiri telahpun mengakui yang beliau telah menerima sejumlah bayaran sebelum “pendedahan” beliau.

Dan juga, tiada apa yang mereka takutkan untuk buat apa yang mereka lakukan. Mereka tidak boleh disaman fitnah kerna mereka telah muflis.

Ia mungkin boleh dimaafkan jika pendedahan mereka tidak berasas, tetapi pendedahan Ramesh dan Melanyi ke atas SR telah memakan diri mereka dan BN - terima kasih kepada kecuaian mereka dalam memasukkan gambar yang salah seorang warga British yang didakwa membantu SR untuk memalsukan dokumen berkaitan 1MDB.

Kredibiliti Melanyi telah dipersoalkan sejak hari pertama beliau muncul.

Ramai orang yang pernah bekerja dengan beliau telah secara terbuka bersuara menentang pemilihan orang yang memainkan watak “wira” oleh BN.

Buat Ramesh, beliau dinafikan hak mengepalai NGO - Pertubuhan Minda dan Sosial Prihatin, selepas berita kemuflisan beliau tersebar.

Beliau menegaskan yang beliau hanyalah ahli jawatankuasa, walaupun semakan dengan Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan (RoS) menunjukkan sebaliknya.

Tan, seorang bekas sukarelawan di pejabat Ahli Parlimen Seputeh Teresa Kok (DAP), telah mendapat liputan berita untuk sesuatu masa, dalam beberapa cubaan beliau untuk memburukkan pembangkang.

Sebagai balasan, Kok dan rakan sekerjanya telah menyangkal dakwaan mencurigakan Tan.

Mereka inilah yang cuba digambarkan oleh pahlawan kekunci BN sebagai wira!

Seperti kata mereka, situasi mendesak membuatkan langkah terdesak, bukan? - mafiabossmelayu

Najib can ban,suspend or deny access... but the question still remains,what happened to RM2.6 billion ended up in his account...

Media suspension, denial of access to web-portal, travel ban as well as video confessions are all diversionary tactics undertaken by Prime Minister Najib Razak's loyalists to keep the 1MDB scandal away from him, said DAP lawmaker Mohd Ariff Sabri today.

But he said these diversionary tactics cannot erase the fact that 1MDB could not account for more than RM20 billion.

“It is still saddled by a loan and bond obligation of RM46 billion, it still can’t sell the Tabung Haji land.

“All these cannot erase the fact that RM2.6 billion went into Najib’s account,” said the Raub MP in his latest blog posting.

He said all these sideshows deserve only scant interest.

“Ignoring them is a better choice,” added the former Umno man.

The government bite-back on the 1MDB scandal started with the arrest of former PetroSaudi director, Xavier Andre Justo in Bangkok last month for allegedly blackmailing his former employer.

He has since said that he had handed over thousands of documents on the 1MDB-PetroSaudi deal to some people, including from the media and the opposition. Yesterday he named The Edge bosses as the recipient of these documents.

Then, a former Sarawak journalist, Lester Melanyi released two video confessions in which he said he was privy to a conspiracy involving whistleblower site Sarawak Report and the opposition to topple Najib by using the 1MDB. He claimed that they had used doctored documents to highlight the 1MDB issue.

As a result, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission had blocked the access to Sarawak Report and yesterday the Home Ministry suspended The Edge for three months.

These are what Ariff called diversionary tactics.

He said that the bigger issue was on how did public money end up in Najib's personal account.

He was referring to a Wall Street Journal report that RM2.6 billion of 1MDB funds had been wired into Najib's account via third party companies.

Najib has denied using 1MDB funds for personal gain but the talk within Umno is that this money was part of political funding for the party and other components in Barisan Nasional.

“The fact remains that public money has been transferred into your (Najib's) personal account. That is a wrong in itself,” said Ariff.

“The PM has many things to answer. What is the source of the money? Hot money that has travelled the world now coming back to the originator?

“The accumulation of kickbacks, commissions, false invoicing, plain embezzlement, money from drugs, drink and prostitution - now making their way into the person most responsible - the finance minister cum PM?,” asked Ariff.

He also said that Bank Negara must reveal what it knows about the transfer of 1MDB money now that Singapore has vowed to come absolutely clean about all transactions involving 1MDB.

“Singapore has alerted BNM months ago but BNM has not acted on the information given. Now, if it’s discovered that BNM and its governor are complicit in an elaborate plan to deceive the public, our whole banking and financial system’s integrity will be utterly damaged.

“BNM has no other choice but to come out clean before the Monetary Authority of Singapore does,” he said. - Ariff Sabri,beritadaily

Najib target for Anwar's WSJ flamethrower...

In a scathing opinion piece penned for The Wall Street Journal, former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim rains criticisms on Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Since Najib’s last electoral victory, which was "plagued by widespread allegations of gerrymandering, fraud and voter intimidation", Malaysia has taken a turn for the worse, Anwar wrote.

"Najib, who once promised democratic and economic reforms and pledged to allow 'the voices of dissent' to be heard, has doubled down on political repression.

"As former deputy prime minister of Malaysia and leader of the opposition, I am now in the fifth month of a five-year prison sentence that has been roundly condemned by governments and human rights groups around the world.

"I spend my days in solitary confinement in meditation and in the company of the few books that are allowed into my cell. 

Meanwhile, allegations of corruption at the highest levels of Malaysian government have surfaced," Anwar says in the article published today.

In 2012, he said, the Internal Security Act was repealed by the Najib government with much fanfare, only to be replaced with the Prevention of Crime and Prevention of Terrorism Acts, which are equally, if not more, repressive.

Beyond encroaching on Malaysian citizens' fundamental liberties, he added the new laws also rob judges of their discretionary sentencing powers.

"Instead of abolishing the outdated and much-abused Sedition Act of 1948, as promised, Najib’s government has deployed it as a weapon of mass oppression.

"In the past 18 months, more than 150 Malaysians have been arrested and many charged with sedition for an array of activities, including accusing the government of voter fraud and criticising the verdict in my trial. The arrested include students, professors, journalists, cartoonists, activists, human rights lawyers and opposition politicians," he added.

1MDB saga and foreign investors

Anwar also trained his guns on the 1MDB saga, saying the "strategic development fund" founded by Najib in 2008 is under intense scrutiny.

"As this newspaper reported on July 2, Malaysian investigators 'have traced nearly US$700 million of deposits into what they believe are the personal bank accounts of Malaysia’s prime minister, Najib Razak'. Neither the original source nor ultimate destination of the money is clear.

"A few weeks earlier, on June 18, this newspaper reported that during the 2013 election 1MDB ‘indirectly supported Prime Minister Najib Razak’s campaign’.

"The fund paid what appeared to be an inflated price for assets acquired from a Malaysian company; the company then contributed to a Najib-led charity that announced projects, such as aid to schools, that Najib was able to tout as he campaigned.

"After these two stories were published, Najib’s office put out a statement that ‘there have been concerted efforts by certain individuals to undermine confidence in our economy, tarnish the government and remove a democratically-elected prime minister’.

"It called the Journal articles a 'continuation of this political sabotage'. Not surprisingly, foreign investors are increasingly wary. Malaysia’s currency, the ringgit, recently fell to a 16-year low," he said.

'Sowing communal and religious animosity'

The former opposition leader also accused the Najib government of "sowing communal and religious animosity" among the Malays and the country’s large ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities.

He noted the ruling coalition blamed a "Chinese tsunami" for losing the popular vote in the 2013 general election, regardless of a study showing this to be false.

"And despite Najib's claims of moderation internationally, the state-run media have vilified Shiite Islam.

"Last summer the prime minister urged his ruling Umno members to be ‘brave’ like Islamic State fighters in Iraq, causing him to later explain he doesn’t support Islamic State or its radical brand of Islam.

"Such actions undermine the fragile fabric of Malaysia's multiethnic and multireligious society. In four decades in public service I cannot recall a time when racial and religious sensitivities have become so inflamed, and at the same time so poorly managed by the country's political leadership," he added.

Malaysia is ready for change

Anwar also said he remained in Malaysia "to face a difficult third bout of unjust incarceration" because the opposition believed in a brighter future made possible by good governance and the rule of law.

"We believe in the dismantling of Malaysia's system of race-based privileges that has devolved into nothing more than rent-seeking for the privileged few.

"We believe that corruption is a slow bleed that robs future generations of the education and business opportunities that will make them prosper.

"Most important, we are joined by a new generation of young, millennial Malaysians with a commitment to building an inclusive, democratic and economically vibrant country," he added.

Anwar warned of the real danger ahead where middle-income nations like Malaysia - "after several decades of economic mismanagement, opaque governance and overspending" - can devolve into failed states.

"The irresponsible manner in which the current leadership is handling religious issues to curry favor from the extreme right is fueling sectarianism.

"Increased political repression may drive some to give up on the political system altogether and consider extralegal means to cause change, thus creating a tragic, vicious cycle.

"Yet there remains a clear path out of this mess: a return to the underpinnings of the Malaysian Constitution, which preserves and protects the rights of all Malaysians; a devolution of power from the executive, whose role now resembles that of a dictator more than a servant of the people; elections that are truly free and fair; and a free media unafraid to challenge authority," he said.

Anwar believes that Malaysia is ready for change, and this is the reason he chose to remain here instead of fleeing abroad.

"I chose to stay and continue the fight for peaceful, democratic reform from my prison cell. This is not easy and puts a tremendous burden on my family.

"I am grateful for their love and commitment. While I am physically behind bars my spirit remains with them, the people of Malaysia, and people all around the world who continue the struggle for dignity and for freedom," he said. - mk

Anwar ramal Malaysia jadi negara gagal jika pentadbiran sekarang diteruskan

Is Najib serious in wanting to sue WSJ...

By now everyone on this planet knows that The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has made a very serious allegation against Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

The allegations may be true or false and only Najib is able to determine that.

If he really cares about protecting his reputation, he has no choice but to put the record straight by suing WSJ for defamation.

The issue now is whether he is willing to do that.

For the record, so far, Najib has sued several individuals for defamation. He has sued MPs Tony Pua, Rafizi Ramli and Nga Kor Ming; Dr Rosli Yaakob (Harakah); and Taufek Yahya (harakahdaily.com). All the suits have been filed in Malaysian courts.

It is interesting to note here that Harakah’s Rosli is being sued for an article which substantially contained reports from The New York Times (NYT).

When asked by reporters as to why he decided to sue harakahdaily.com, Najib stated that he has to protect his integrity as well as his family’s reputation.

Selective protection of reputation

However, what really puzzled many was why he never seeked to protect his reputation or his family’s good name by filing a libel suit against the powerful NYT.

Why is he being selective in protecting his reputation?

Despite the fact there are reports indicating that Najib would sue Sarawak Report, hitherto no summons has been filed by him against such portal.

The fact that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is being used to block the public from accessing such a powerful whistleblower site, the dream of Malaysiand to see our prime minister facing the Sarawak Report in court remains gloomy.

By suing the individuals who are linked to opposition parties, Najib has, in fact, set a new precedent in Malaysian politics in that for the first time in Malaysia, the prime minister has used the courtroom to fight against his political enemies.

Whilst it is not legally wrong for him to sue anybody for any cause of action, the legal fraternity is very concerned with this unhealthy trend.

Judges’ appointment

In one way or another, Najib, being the prime minister, has says and influence in so far as the appointment of judges are concerned.

Be that as it may, any judge who is assigned to hear his claim would naturally be put in a precarious position.

Being a human being who aspires for promotion in the judicial hierarchy, it is normal that the judge being assigned to hear Najib’s suit would be uncomfortable to be given an option between the dispensation of justice without fear and favour, and the unhindered pursuit of his or her judicial ambition.

Najib has resigned to the fact that in terms of encountering criticism from his opponents, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad was relatively more daring and confident.

Despite being labelled with so many epithets, Mahathir, to his credit, has never used the court to silence his critics by filing libel suit.

It seems that Mahathir never believed in the notion of bankrupting his political enemy with hefty libel damages as the late Lee Kuan Yew used to do to his political rivals.

‘No guts to face foes’

Najib began his premiership with a plethora of sweet promises of respecting and broadening freedom of speech and in turn, abolishing draconian laws yet his promises are well known to be happily broken than adhered to.

By using the courtroom as his platform to redeem his reputation, if any, Najib cannot escape the reasonable perception that he has no guts to face his enemy on a political platform.

His unwillingness to debate head on with Mahathir in a forum titled ‘Nothing to Hide’ reflects that he has everything to hide from the public on 1MDB.

Najib has instructed his lawyer to write a letter to WSJ not demanding an apology, withdrawal of the impugned article, and damages, but instead asking clarification from the latter.

Since WSJ is reported to have maintained the position that its article does not contain defamatory imputation against Najib, the ball is now in Najib's court for him to pursue his next step.

The only move which signifies his seriousness of rubbishing such damaging allegations by WSJ is to take on such a powerful newspaper i.e by suing the latter for defamation in a US court. Najib has to retain an American firm or attorney to proceed with libel suit there.

Legally speaking, Najib cannot sue WSJ in Malaysia simply because, as lawyers used to say, the cause of action took place in the US.

In fact, it is plainly ironic for Najib to engage a Malaysian legal firm to write to WSJ, prompting comments that Najib has never been serious in protecting his reputation vis a vis WSJ’s serious allegation.

Doing ‘something’

Many speculate such a move by Najib - instructing a Malaysian lawyer to write to WSJ - is mere camouflage to drive home the message to the voters that he is doing something on such allegations, when in reality, he has no intention to meet WSJ in court.

Only Najib can remove such a speculation.

Historically speaking, Najib has failed to redeem his reputation when he was seriously implicated by an article published in a French newspaper relating to the issue of Altantuya.

He never sued the newspaper, despite the serious and damaging accusations made against him.

Recently he has also failed to sue NYT which revealed many shocking allegations against him and his family.

Najib has to prove to the entire world that his critics are wrong in harbouring suspicion that he is not willing to face WSJ in court.

He equally has to show the nation that he is not a jaguh kampung (smalltown hero) in that he is only willing to face his domestic opponents who are relatively weaker in terms of financial strength.

On the contrary, being blessed with darah pahlawan Bugis (Bugis warrior blood), he is ready and willing to take on WSJ anytime, anywhere! - Mohd. Hanipa Maidin,mk

Is Najib man enough to sue WSJ?

Tunjuk apa dipinda, tang mana dipinda...

Bekas perdana menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata, mustahil untuk meminda dokumen syarikat PetroSaudi International (PSI) seperti yang didakwa oleh bekas eksekutifnya, Xavier Andre Justo.

Menurut Dr Mahathir, perkara itu dilihat mustahil untuk dilakukan memandangkan jumlah dokumen tersebut "banyak".

Sehubungan itu, beliau meminta kepada pihak yang berkenaan supaya menunjukkan dokumen yang didakwa dipinda seperti didakwa Justo.

"Tunjuklah apa yang dipinda. Tunjuk dokumen itu, tunjuk tang (di) mana yang dipinda.

"Nak pinda dokumen (macam mana), banyak tu, tak boleh," katanya ketika ditemui pemberita di lobi hotel Shangri-La di Kuala Lumpur hari ini.

Dalam temubual bersama Straits Times Singapura Justo mendakwa pengendali Sarawak Report dan seorang ahli perniagaan Malaysia berbincang untuk “meminda” maklumat dalam dokumen syarikat PSI itu.

Justo ditemu bual akhbar itu di Bangkok, Thailand.

Justo yang menjadi sumber kebocoran maklumat tersebut juga bersetuju untuk menjual dokumen berkenaan, yang didakwanya dicuri dari PSI untuk bayaran sebanyak AS$2 juta (RM7.6 juta).

Justo mendakwa, individu yang ditemuinya awal tahun ini merancang untuk menggunakan dokumen tersebut “sebagai cubaan untuk menjatuhkan kerajaan Malaysia” dan mereka juga merujuk kepada usaha untuk “meminda dokumen tersebut”.

Bagaimanapun, editor Sarawak Report, Clare Rewcastle-Brown menafikan dakwaan untuk meminda dokumen itu dan mempersoalkan mengapa 1MDB dan PSI masih belum mengemukakan bukti pindaan tersebut.- mk

Sekat atau tidak, saya tetap balun 1MDB...

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata, beliau akan tetap menulis tentang isu 1MDB walaupun Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) menyekat Sarawak Report.

"Saya tetap akan menulis (mengenai 1MDB)," kata bekas perdana menteri itu ketika ditemui pemberita di lobi sebuah hotel di ibu negara hari ini.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditanya mengenai reaksinya terhadap kritikan yang dibuat kepada 1MDB selepas akses laman sesawang yang aktif membuat pendedahan mengenai agensi itu, Sarawak Report, disekat SKMM.

Sarawak Report telah disekat oleh SKMM di bawah Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998 setelah menerima aduan dan maklumat daripada orang awam.

Sementara itu, ketika ditanya mengenai perjumpaan SKMM dengan pengarang portal berita semalam, Dr Mahathir berkata perkara tersebut membuktikan bahawa tapisan terhadap media memang wujud di negara ini.

"Ada tapisan terhadap media. Secara efektifnya, ada tapisan terhadap media," katanya ringkas.

Dalam perjumpaan dengan pengarang-pengarang portal berita semalam SKMM mengingatkan bahawa tindakan boleh diambil terhadap sebarang pemberitaan palsu atau tidak tepat.

Malah, pengarang portal berita dalam talian juga hari ini diingatkan tidak memaparkan semula bahan daripada Sarawak Report yang telah disekat SKMM.

SKMM berkata tindakan menyebarkan semula laporan yang dibuat portal yang telah disekat itu boleh dikenakan tindakan mengikut Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998.

Tindakan juga boleh diambil terhadap penyebaran maklumat palsu yang boleh menggugat keamanan dan keharmonian sesebuah negara, terutamanya dari segi ekonomi dan keselamatan nasional.- mk
 

Mahathir vows to keep writing about 1MDB...

Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad will keep writing about 1MDB even though the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has banned whistleblower site Sarawak Report.

"I will keep on writing (about 1MDB)," Mahathir said when asked if the MCMC ban on Sarawak Report had spooked him.

The commission said yesterday it has taken pre-emptive measures to block Sarawak Report, although it did not have evidence as yet on whether the site's exposes on 1MDB were false.

Access to Sarawak Report was blocked by the MCMC, purportedly due to complaints from the public.

When asked to comment on the MCMC's meeting with editors of local online news organisations, Mahathir said that meet proved that there are attempts to censor the media.

"Effectively, there is censorship of the press," he said curtly. 

During the meeting, editors were told that there was no concrete proof that materials published by Sarawak Report were fraudulent and that access to the website was blocked as a preventive measure.

Editors were also warned that any websites in Malaysia that publishes materials produced by Sarawak Report could also be subject to the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. - mk

Dr M: One cannot tamper all PetroSaudi data...

It is impossible that all leaked PetroSaudi International documents have been tampered, as there are just so much of them, former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad says.

Therefore, Mahathir said, the relevant parties should show which documents have been tampered.
"Show what was tampered. Show the documents, show where these were modified.

"(How can) you tamper so many documents? You can't," Mahathir said when met by reporters at the Shangri-La Hotel lobby in Kuala Lumpur today.

In a report by Singapore's Strait Times today, former PetroSaudi executive Xavier Andre Justo claimed there was a plot to tamper the documents he stole from the company, in order to topple the government.
 
Justo said he had given the documents to Sarawak Report editor-in-chief Clare Rewcastle-Brown, and a Malaysian businessman.

Payment was never made
 
The Edge media group boss Tong Kooi Ong later revealed that he was the businessman, but denied tampering the documents. Sarawak Report also denied the allegations.

Tong (photo) said he had tricked Justo into handing the document by promising to pay US$2 million (RM7.6 million). The payment however was never made.

Justo was arrested last month by Thai police in the island resort of Koh Samui for alleged attempts to extort money from his former employer, PetroSaudi.

The Malaysian government has repeatedly claimed that documents he leaked were tampered in its bid to dismiss stunning allegations against Prime Minister Najib Razak and 1MDB involving criminal breach of trust. - mk
