Why have been Malaysians profitable for Najib as good as BN leaders' tellurian open relations campaign?
Some months ago you beheld which a once sly Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud was suddenly being featured in international TV headlines programmes.
Alongside this was additionally a series of positive reports about Sarawaks development as good as a benefits of palm oil.
These reports were being featured in a little of a major tellurian headlines networks, without mentioning any of a states apocalyptic environmental, tellurian rights as good as economic problems.
Our team during Sarawak Report motionless to examine what was starting upon as good as where a funding for all this lay.
Following tough upon a heels of a stream revelations upon phone as good as computer hacking by a little UK newspapers, you have unprotected a infamous fraud selling slots upon TV headlines shows to a highest bidder.
We can additionally exhibit which Barisan Nasionals tip leaders in Malaysia have been during a heart of a corruption, using taxpayers income to promote themselves upon business shows as good as documentaries.
The justification for these losses has been written in to a Malaysian governments own bill records.
Huge sums of money, RM57 million over a past two years, have been paid out to a UK media association FBC Media as fees for a Global Strategic Communications campaign.
RM57 million for air slots
PKR general-secretary Saifuddin Nasution had in fact queried a volume in Parliament last year.
Well, in a deficiency of any answers from BN, you can right away supply him with a reason.
FBC Media is not only a open relations association offering image-building recommendation to a! nyone ab ounding enough to means them though they additionally stand in up as a TV production company.
The association focuses upon producing ! business as good as sports headlines programmes, as good as stream affairs documentaries for a little of a Worlds tip TV companies such as CNBC, CNN as good as BBC World.
Among a distinguished Malaysian clients have been stream Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, his prototype Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as good as Sime Darby authority Musa Hitam. Taib has additionally right away joined FBC Medias fast of clients.
All these leaders have been corruptly buying, by FBC Media, airtime slots to promote themselves upon these networks as good as channels.
Several tip TV executives in a UK as good as a US as good as their association bosses have been right away starting to have to answer a little rarely annoying questions from their licencing authorities.
How could these companies presumably commission such dodgy programmes from a PR association all these years?
The reason, of course, has been a scramble for cheap programming.
With as well most competing TV channels chasing after abating advertising revenues, it is right away a clients market as good as slots go to a highest bidder.
Dodgy dealings
FBC Media, which is part of a conglomerate with business links in India, Europe as good as a US, was able to suggest tantalisingly low price (and in a little cases even free) programming since they were raking in income from their Malaysian political PR clients, who were queuing up to crop up in those supposedly unbiased as good as impartial headlines shows.
It breaks every reliable rule in a book of promote broadcasting as good as CNBC, BBC, CNN as good as others will have to compensate a price for allowing it to happen.
But from a point of view of a Malaysian taxpayer there is a question of: because have been you profitable for this expensive as good as bootleg PR?
Why is there a need to impr! ove a im age of BN leaders during home as good as abroad?
Still, it may not come as a huge surprise which Taib, Najib, Abdullah as good as Musa willingly do business with an unscrupulous association like FBC Media.
We during Sarawak Report will solemnly exhibit a abyss of FBC Medias business ties with their Malaysi! an gover nment clients underneath a stratagem of a Global Strategic Communications campaign.
For now, you leave Malaysian taxpayers with a last thought.
Not only has BN been spending millions upon a mean as good as dirty political debate which has no place in a supervision budget, though they have funded a wave as well.
After all, you have unprotected FBC Media without as well much worry as good as in a process their multi-million dollar positive PR debate looks set to spectacularly backfire upon their gullible BN clients.
