It has just emerged that apparent arch crook Najib ordered Felda to invest over two billion ringgit in an Indonesian plantation which claimed a value far in excess of its real worth. It is said he did that in the face of advice from numerous quarters, including auditors, if so he cannot claim that he […]

The king of forked tongues, Najib Razak is reported as claiming in public that his calls for unity had prevented UMNO from fracturing. That many UMNO members, including members pf the Federal Assembly, have left it is an undeniable fact. It is all very well to call those who have done so “frogs” and their

Alleged mega thief Najib, still lying his head off despite the first of his many trials having finally begun, stated publicly that the big fall in Tabung Haji dividends was due to “a fall in stock prices” What nonsense! The fall is due to him! As later prosecutions will show. Having tried to bankrupt Tabuing

Presumably Dr. Mahathir thought he was doing his Borneo States allies a good turn when he proposed amendments to the Constitution up-grading their status. In which case he must be both disappointed and confused. For decades there has been a current of opinion in Bornean Malaysia that the original Malaysia Agreement of 1963 was not

Former BN boss Zahid is reported as saying that “youth will revive BN” This ? Malaysian politician might be better occupied in preparing his defence for his forthcoming 1MDB trials rather than in day-dreaming about a BN revival. The plain truth of the matter is that BN is is hoping to come back politically by

The official diktat issued by the Kelantan State government prohibiting the display of portraits of the Head of State of Malaysia forces us to question whether Kelantan remains a constituent State in Malaysia or if this diktat is the first step in a bid for independent status? Since it appears to have been issued under

Whether or not the suggested halal activity involving MasterCard progresses or not is something that Muslim Malaysians may take an interest in; or not. But the proposal does raise a matter of general Malaysian interest involving MasterCard itself, given that London businessman Rick Haythornthwaite is still its international Chairman. Why? It is simple enough. He

Fugitive criminal Jho Low claims that the price realised from the sale of the super yacht Equanimity was ‘too low’. As a career criminal he ought to know that stolen goods never realise their open market ticket price. But if he feels strongly enough about the issue he should return to Malaysia and campaign against

Those were the words used by the Prime Minister when referring to the “disappearance” of Pastor Raymond Koh and another Malaysian local philanthropist Amri Che Mat.  They were, he claimed, done by or on behalf of the former BN regime led by alleged mega crook Najib; and PH do not know the details. Fair enough.

Suggestions, from whatever quarter, that the forthcoming trial of alleged mega crook Najib should be televised or reported otherwise “live” are both ridiculous and offensive and have been rightly condemned by senior lawyers. Despite the whole of Malaysia knowing that Najib is a suspected mega criminal he is, rightly, receiving the same trials as any

The UMNO leader is struggling to efface the ill effects of his call for a “jihad” against Pakistan Harapan.  Jihad, he claims, does not mean “war “but what he claims, “struggle”. Even if that were true, and who will believe him, why did he not simply call on voters to support his party and its

Questioned about a Penang project arch criminal Najib refused to answer insisting that his paid defamer and liar in chief, Raja Petra`s allegations about the Penang tunnel project are answered first. Everyone knows that RPK. who hides in the UK by virtue of having a British mother, is a serial liar, an unrepentant maker of

The control over Sarawak, first awarded by a series of Sultans of Brunei, and then by the Brooke Rajahs, to the State’s small minority Malay/Melanau community has, right from the outset, been abused to the personal profit of those in it. The saga of mismanagement and corruption, officialised by the Brookes and tolerated by the

Press reports indicate that fugitive criminal Jho Low has complained about the seizure of a house in Penang. He claims, plaintively, that this property was built many years ago and is not in any way connected to the 1MDB scandal. It is interesting that he makes this claim.By doing do he effectively admits complicity in

After all the farcical delays in trying arch criminal Najib now comes the news that his former deputy will not be tried until July! Malaysians will be perfectly justified in wondering what is going on with all these delays. While legal dodging on the part of defenders is to be expected it has become farcical

The continuing political alliance between PH and Sarawak’s re-named BN members in the Legislative Assembly stinks more and more every day. Even if it had been thought justifiable in order to assemble a majority for amendment of the Constitution the Assembly is sitting but no amendment has been tabled. So what are those who voted

PAS leaders continue to make public denials that they or their party paid RM1.4 million to Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle  to permit the withdrawal of their libel case against her in London AND her counter-claim. Unhappily for them, no matter how often they claim that lying is permitted, the facts remain the facts. So

The recent announcement of the appointment of a successor to the about to retire Deputy IGP raises other issues than the mere filling of an impending vacancy in the PDRM as a series of recent scandals mean the already existing doubts about the PDRM leadership have intensified. Given that the current IGP Is to retire in

The sheer scale of theft of public money and institutionalised corruption in Peninsular Malaysia under mega thief Najib Razak has, to some extent, overshadowed the less well known, and so far un-investigated, torrent of corruption in Sarawak. Yet when and if what has been happening in Sarawak for decades (not merely overlooked by the Sarawak

The term refers to electoral boundary manipulation and the originator of the practice would be lost in admiration at the way in which the criminal Najib regime indulged in it just before the 2018 election; and in Sarawak prior to that. If, as claimed, these wrongs can be righted by a simple majority vote in

The state government of Sarawak have announced, with a flurry of self-congratulation, that they have agreed with the University of Cambridge in the UK to set up special schools. No doubt the Cambridge authorities concerned have been acting in good faith, albeit curious naivety, in having discussions on this project with the Sarawak government. Can

IGP Fuzi, in a statement just made public and commenting on court proceedings against persons accused of insulting religion “advised” the public not to engage in such activities. It is legitimate to ask why this particular provision of the Code should still be extant. Its origin lies in the Indian Penal Code, which was adopted

Whoever presided over the Kuching Sessions Court trial of a man charged with “insulting Islam” demonstrated a total unfitness to be on that Bench, or indeed any other. The accused had pleaded guilty to charges which , as ordained by the Legislative Assembly, carry a maximum penalty of one year’s imprisonment and the “Court” converted

It is reported that “tribal chiefs” have negated resistance by the native people of Sarawak to yet more forest destruction in favour of oil palm plantation in the Mulu area. Understandably the reports do not name or otherwise identify these ,so-called,tribal leaders but that does not prevent the usual suspicion that Sarawak timber interests, both

Once again there is talk in the leadership circles of both the parties concerning a possible merger!  If there is any truth in this, and recent electoral co-ooeration seems to support that then voters should ask themselves why they should work with a party led by mega criminals who have stolen billions of public money.
