Alleged mega crook Najib Razak has been ordered by a court to pay the Inland Revenue the staggering sum of 1.69 BILLION ringgit in unpaid taxes due from 2011 to 2017. A Prime Minister, no less, cheating the Revenue of enormous sums. Because he could in Malaysia’s corrupted society. A pertinent question to ask is […]

According to Press reports an Rohyinga refugee is due to be caned as part of a sentence for entering Malaysia illegally. This report, if accurate, casts a mantle of shame on Malaysia as a whole. While it is true that this punishment in applicable in certain cases as part of the outdated Indian Penal Code

UMNO MLA  Tajuddin revealed the true face of PN/UMNO in addressing the Assembly on “Malay rights”  These he is reported as claiming belong to what he is reported as saying “the original people of Malaysia”. Can it be that he has entirely overlooked the presence of the real original inhabitants, the Sakai?  Is he aware

A date has now been fixed for a hearing of an application to review his case by ex police officer Azilah who was convicted of murdering Mongolian national Altantuya. Now for the surprise bit. No it is not surprising that the application has been filed. What IS surprising is that ex PM Najib, himself the

The statement by a senior Malaysian  parliamentarian concerning illegal incursions into Malaysian territorial waters by vessels belonging to the PRC, and doubtless part of the latter’s vast Navy is timely. Not that Bejing will pay the slightest attention or in any way alter its practice of illegal incursions into the territorial waters of other nations.

For years stories have circulated about money laundering taking place in the UK, specifically through London entities. The latest expose in Sarawak Report adds flesh to those bare bones in the City. It is bad enough that British off-shore colonies are in daily use as money laundries and bases for tax evasion, both by British

As most Americans already know one of their biggest banks is facing prosecution over its involvement in loans to the corrupt Malaysian government headed by ex Prime Minister Najib Razak. It is unnecessary to go into the details of the affair, most of which have already received widespread publicity within the United States and elsewhere

By Kim Quek If someone slanders you through Face Book or WhatsApp or any other social media, would you sue that person or the media network that provides the platform for public comments? Of course, you will sue the person who slanders you and not the network providing the platform. And that is exactly what

For the second day running ex MACC boss Dzulkifli offers a public demonstration of his ignorance of the law. That might be more worrying if he were still a senior law enforcement officer. Nevertheless his public statements on the law should be countered if wrong and misleading; the latter no doubt a political objective. The

Press reports indicate that a Malaysian citizen has been charged in Johor with “insulting the Crown Prince of that State” This alleged offence is claimed to have been committed against the provisions of a Federal law regulating the use of multi media. What a travesty of justice! If the Malaysian citizen allegedly insulted wishes to

Talking about Harapan’s errors during its rule of the country, I think its greatest flaw is its failure to use its position as the ruling power to enlighten the Malay mind from one that has been ingrained with racist ideology through decades of Umno’s misrule. Without this mindset change, the country can’t move forward and

By Kim Quek I refer to Musa Aman’s lawyer Amer Hamzah’s statement published in Malaysiakini on June 11 under the title “Musa Aman’s acquittal: Decision fair and accurate”. As the title suggests, Amer claimed that Musa is innocent. Reason? All the money he received were bona fide donation to Sabah Umno from “party supporters, members

Will it come is what Malaysian voters will want to know. Any aspect of corrupt dealing within Malaysian political parties is just “par for the course” to use a golfing term that Muyhiddin will understand. But to openly associate the Head of State with alleged political dealings, as does this latest report, is to bring

Former Attorney General Apandi, perhaps encouraged by the advent to temporary power of the PN crooks with whom he must feel kinship, has now publicly attacked a very senior member of the Bar and alleged that he had to “discipline” him. This farcical claim arises from what he called attempts to get him, Apandi, then

Or much more probably an inspection to verify that other sticky fingers have not been at the loot since its seizure. This is, of course, the extraordinary scene where, by judicial permission, an as charged mega criminal was allowed to inspect the exhibits in one of their forthcoming trials. With what object in mind? To

Press reports of proceedings in the High Court concerning the prosecution of former Minister “Ku Nan” indicate that he is very likely the number three in the PN list of criminals to be allowed to escape justice by the Attorney General’s back door “discharge not amounting” trapdoor for mega criminals. It is also significant that

It s not without interest that the PN Attorney General should have felt it necessary to make a public statement concerning his letting off mega villain Musa. If his laborious explanation of his decision represents the exact position why only now? How long have the “difficulties over getting documents from Hong Kong” persisted? The offences

The withdrawal of criminal charges against the former BN Chief Minister of Sabah is the second such action since the PN government obtained power by royal ukase, as opposed to democratic election. The first was, of course. the similar dropping of charges against Najib’s step-son; since the announcement of which there has been a wave

Press reports quote a DAP member of the Assembly urging “Prime Minister” Muyhiddin not to dissolve the Assembly if defeated in a vote of confidence. It is disheartening to see elected members so confused about the fundamental law of the country. It is the Agong NOT any elected member of the Assembly who has the

What former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir thinks is a matter for him but it is depressing to read in the public press that mega criminal Najib Razak allegedly enjoys at least 40 to 50 per cent support in the Malay community.  Admittedly he has not, yet, been convicted of criminal offences committed while he was

In a lengthy statement “PM” Muyhiddin listed all the activities that will now be allowed, and a few that will still not, but made NO mention of politics nor of sittings of the Legislative Assembly. The public may, it seems, gather for almost any reason so why does the Assembly not sit? It is, after

After nearly seventy years it seems time to abandon money politics and to put development and public interest before private gain. In that respect the first decades after independence tell a sorry tale.. It is, one supposes, almost inevitable that after a long period of, foreign rule, with its curious dislike of bribery and corruption,

Is what the Sultan of Johor is reported in the Press as feeling about “selfish politicians”. He should perhaps reflect on two things. First it is the will of the people, as manifested by the electoral process, which determines the outcome of political dispute. Second that the Constitution confers on the Agong certain political powers

Once again fanatics within PN are calling for the abolition of alcohol sales.  One is entitled to ask why they think that something that is permitted by the Constitution should be banned? Malaysia is, or was, a free society with a Parliament elected by the voters.  If a particular community are barred by their religion

Former PKR Sarawak leader and former Minister and former stooge of  ‘senior minister’ Azmin Ali, Baru Bian has apparently announced that he no longer daydreams about leading a new Sarawak political party but will instead join the local party PSB. He did not announce that the groupuscule was welcoming him to its top job so
