The exposure by a member of the Sarawak State Assembly of the criminal misappropriation of the funds of shareholders in this “State” enterprise in Sarawak  does not appear have caused a ripple of anxiety on the part of the totally corrupt Sarawak State government.  Why should it have done? In the answer that question lies […]

GPS Federal Assembly member from Sarawak, Nancy Shukri, claimed publicly that Sarawak’s Penan community  “don’t want Sarawak government help! There is a surprise. Someone cuts down your forest home and sells it off for personal profit and you don’t want anything to do with them? How ungrateful can you get? Poor badly regarded Puan Shukri!

The words used bySarawak State Minster Awang Tengah to describe his home State! He could, with more truth, have described it as a kleptocracy where a handful of minority community politicians have used illegal means to strip the State of nearly all its natural assets for the benefit of mega crook Taib Mahmud and his

Sarawak’s deputy Chief Minister has just issued a stirring call, without saying who is to do what it calls for. He wants, no less, to eradicate alcohol use, smoking and use of narcotics among that notorious den of iniquity;Sarawak’s youth! Of course substance abuse occurs in Sarawak just as it does in other parts of

In his latest absurd diatribe PAS leader Hadi Awang seems to have abandoned doctrine for flights of fancy. In what appears to be an attempt to explain what he views as economic backwardness in parts of the Malay community he claims that the “British put the Chinese in towns and Malays in the countryside! When

Press reports quote Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Openg as stating that his State’s annual income is RM7 billion. This as part of attempts to rubbish the Federal Finance Minster’s warning about future bankruptcy. Sarawakians, especially the oppressed Dayak majority, would be interested to know what proportion of that claimed 7 billion derives from duties on

A former IGP is reported in the Press as saying that if one party to an act of sodomy is guilty then the other must also be. Age can cause confusion and, sometimes, memory loss, but one would expect a person with that background to remember that everyone is innocent until proved guilty. Or that

In accusing the DAP of attempting to turn Malaysia into a “second Singapore” a PAS activist moves dangerously close to promoting inter communal strife, apparently solely to advance the interests of Islamist activists. Singapore is inhabited in majority by people of Chinese extraction. Malaysia by adherents of Islam. But in neither country should religious considerations

A senior UMNO party official has claimed publicly that money seized from the party is “clean party funds” and not public money which he seem freely to admit was in fact received by his party during the criminal Najib regime! Well no harm in asking but does he seriously believe that anyone will accept that

PAS boss Hadi Awang has accused the PH government of being the “worst people”  It is surprising to find an Islamic guru attaching that description to political opponents while he and his party support the discredited UMNO whose former leadership face trial on various criminal charges: including mega corruption (presumably an activity not favoured by

PAS leader Hadi has publicly attacked what he called “immoral activities”saying that these have no place in politics. Unfortunately, for one posing as a moral and a political leader, he gave no details about what he meant by the phrase “immoral activities” Could he have been referring to taking large sums of money from other

After decades of stripping Sarawak of its vast tropical forests the chief criminal, Taib Mahmud, appears to be looking for an exit strategy. A much publicised initiative appearing to aim at re-foresting Sarawak was launched by his acolytes with himself carefully avoiding any apparent involvement. Huge, non-existent, areas of virgin forest are to be set

With the ink still not dry on her letter of appointment the new MACC chief is presented with a fully documented mega scandal in Sarawak concerning contracts for logging involving a whole slew of Sarawak officials and businessmen as well as notorious crook, and Chief Minister at the time, Taib Mahmud. This disgusting case of

The new MACC chief, in a public statement, said that she will go after corruption “wherever it is found” Well said indeed and it is to be fervently hoped that she will do as she has promised. There is no problem in locating corruption. Under Najib Malaysia was systematically corrupted in most if not all

A Sarawak State Minister has publicly urged that the new MACC chief “should be given a chance to prove herself” As he did not elaborate further his motive for this statement remains unclear. Was it merely a first splash in a rush to leave the sinking ship GPS or an attempt to secure future clemency?

The new IGP is reported as saying that fugitive Jho Low will “soon be brought back to Malaysia” Since the PDRM have proved incapable of laying hands on Jho for at least a year it sees reasonable to conclude that reports placing the fugitive in the Chinese People’s Republic are correct Furthermore it could only

The withdrawal of the ban on travel by former AG Apandi brings back to pubic attention the fact that proceedings against mega crook Najib have obscured the facts about what is happening to his accomplices; of whom Apandi was a principal one. Malaysians have not forgotten the show put on by Apandi when he “cleared”

The overt threats by UMNO/PAS to “take matters into their own hands” in connection with the inquest into the death of fireman Adlib shows that, once again, neither of these parties respect the rule of law and are quite prepared to ignore it when it appears to clash with their political notions. And this from

In an impressively sourced and researched article the website Sarawak Report sets out the dangers to mankind posed by the “relentless logging” that has disfigured Sarawak and Sabah for decades not only enriching criminal politicians and their business cronies but contributing in a big way to global warming. The fact that these criminal politicians may

Alleged mega criminal Najib is boasting to anyone who will listen that even if he is convicted he will be out on bail while appeals are heard. One has to wonder who has fed him that nonsense. His lawyers? Are they so new and inexperienced as not to know that appeals from conviction are made

Stung, perhaps, by recent criticism about tolerance of the criminal GPS support for PH in the Federal Assembly, a new excuse is being promoted. one which, if basically as cynical as the “need for constitutional reform votes” is designed to cover the real reason by alleging that Putrajaya s doing no more than protecting Malay

The fact that criminals are currently facing justice for financial crimes; and will face many more of the same as time proceeds, is no reason to ignore criminal behaviour in other fields. It is true that the machinery of justice is working hard to deal with some of the criminal acts committed by BN figures

That the GPS/BN administration of Sarawak should be promoting the “declaration of assets” is the supreme irony of the decade.Who would believe a word any of these people say; let alone any “declaration of assets” they may disclose. Everyone in Sarawak knows that the BN supporting party in power there has been corrupting the electoral

Sarawak Report is absolutely correct in pointing out the responsibility of the Federal government for the multiple abuses being committed in the Borneo States in connection with the total destruction of the rainforest there. Yes. Forestry is a State matter according to the Constitution. But that is a poor excuse for ignoring massive, decades long,

After some recent criticism it is a pleasure to note that the new IGP is cracking down on dishonest and even criminal members of his Force. Such action is long overdue and has not been seen during the periods in office of his two predecessors. The task of cleaning up the PDRM is a formidable
