The past month is just a warning of the dire fate the country and the new generation face from the lawless greed of Malaysia’s old guard and ruling elites. GE15 must bring a clean sweep on an anti-corruption agenda or these throwbacks will swipe what resources are left and then depart….
Native Rights Campaigner Denis Along faces imminent jail if he cannot find the RM10,000 the courts have punished him for daring to contest the seizure of his community’s lands to build a luxury hotel for the Taib family….
After two bully buy-elections UMNO’s beleaguered Court Cluster are pressing for an early GE15 where they hope to pull off another bully win. Their PN ‘allies’ still have unfinished business however, including their plan to ‘make Malaysia the global cutting edge for 5G technology’ (or at least to spend the budget they set aside) and seeing the same Court Cluster off to jail…..
Malaysians ought not to blame Longhouse folk for the culture of money politics. The federal government has propped up a kleptocratic local dictatorship for decades in return for Sarawak’s oil. It has not lifted a finger against corruption in the state, gross gerrymandering and the violation of election rules by the local thugocracy who think rules simply don’t apply to them…..
Publishers Penguin have seen fit to produce a book written by a Najib apologist who was paid from money stolen from 1MDB. The book threatens critics (named ‘enemies’) to be ‘very afraid’ of a triumphant return of the convicted leader and suggests that the money stolen from SRC was just a small amount. Maybe he forgets the US$170 million that went from SRC into Najib’s dollar account? …..
The Malaysian Government has stated that the Editor of Sarawak Report is a ‘fugitive’ who has “fled abroad to avoid prosecution”. For this they state they are issuing an INTERPOL Red Notice request. Does Malaysia need yet more such National Embarrassment over Najib and 1MDB?….
Today, at the same time as filing yet another appeal, Najib to all purposes admitted to his guilt. His tactics of delay and bogus denial have done nothing but prolong the agony for the country …..
If Sarawakians could look beyond the GPS bullying and the bribes to vote for PKR and the opposition’s ‘Welfare & Healthcare’ manifestoes the remaining resources of their beleaguered state could be channelled into making them comfortable like the people of Brunei, instead of being subjugated by greedy outsiders in their own lands for a few ringgit and some cigarettes ……
Once again kleptocrat outsiders appear to have been caught plundering the resources of Sarawak’s native communities …….
As Najib’s legal guru, Shafee Abdullah, tries a new way to delay the Appeal Court decision on his case, the pair have appeared to hasten a review into the Altantuya murder scandal that has been due for years …..
Australia has a Bribery of Foreign Public Officials Act that prohibits blandishments to foreign decision makers, influencers or their intermediaries for the purpose of commercial advantage. This includes the awarding of sweet contracts to gain licences for business. We ask Lynas’s top legal eagle to reassure us that the company has not fallen foul due to its actions in Malaysia ……
The hasty decision by GPS to ditch the Emergency and hold the election just days before a swathe of new young educated voters will be mandated onto the electoral register will kill people in Sarawak. It is a price GPS are plainly prepared to pay for their own political advantage. What more do we need to know about them?…..
The global reputation of Malaysia’s judiciary is at stake over Najib’s plainly fishy appeal proceedings and the blatant evidence of manipulation thereof ……
There is a major question now as to why it has taken a full 15 months since Najib’s appeal against his devastating conviction in the High Court to be judged by the Court of Appeal. Put politely, it stinks…….
Ex-PM Najib Razak has made just one mistake over the past triumphant month in Malacca. He conceded to the outrage of those who considered his demand for a RM100 million house to be paid for by the state to be shocking and indefensible!…….
