FBC Medias PR Chief/ Executive Programme Editor Alan Friedman

Sarawak Report has received a duplicate of a actual minute as good as stipulate sent by FBC Media Chairman, Alan Friedman, to Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, outlining their illegal PR campaign.The sum cost for FBCs Global Strategic Communications Proposal came to $5 million in a initial year alone in a campaign designed to last during least 3 years.

Sources tighten to BN have told us which a project was initial summarized verbally in meetings between Alan Friedman as good as a Chief Minister, after a FBC Media Chairman was invited to Kuching during a proceed of a year.

Separate divisions?

In a new statement released by lawyers to a UKs Independent Newspaper FBC Media have attempted to urge their PR activities, claiming which a commercial multiplication as good as prolongation multiplication of a association have been as good as continually have been quite apart as good as distinct.

However, we can uncover which Alan Friedman, who was obviously masterminding a multi-million dollar PR deal, additionally doubled up as a Executive Editor of a companys flagship World Business programme, produced weekly for CNBC.

Happy Penan who has found a locale job featured by World Business

Shortly after a Taib stipulate was delivered, a vital object about Sarawak duly appeared upon World Business, raising! questio ns about how apart those groups have been essentially kept!

Indeed, a World Business item, called Deforestation in Sarawak, can usually be described as descending far underneath a normal standards of design reporting.

The show, which supposing endless actuality for a Chief Minister, featured a line up of employees as good as political allies as if they were design commentators, as good as even authorised him to indicate which 80% of Sarawaks jungle has remained untouched!

To supplement insult to injury, a happy Penan tribesman was additionally featured talking about how he had benefitted from progress. However, there was no discuss of a years of desperate blockades which have been mounted by his own people against Taibs corrupt logging, or of a protests by numerous alternative native groups, who have been shoved out of their lands to have way for logging, dams as good as oil palm with no compensation or event to profit.

Separate divisions? Alan Friedman acted as Interviewer as good as Executive Editor of World Business, as good as a companys negotiator with clients similar to Taib Mahmud.

In February, BBC Worlds One Square Mile, additionally produced by FBC Media, had again since a sense which Taib was we do a best possible for a inland timberland people. Once again a Executive Producer of a Programme was nothing alternative than Alan Friedman!

The reporter, Rian Maelzer, avoided deliberating a problems caused by land grabs as good as corruption, claiming instead that:

Se! parate a s good as distinct? Sales as good as Output were headed by a same chairman for FBC in Sarawak Alan Friedman.

For a past 40 years, a Malaysian supervision has practised an affirmative-action process aimed during raising a vital standards of inland groups

Thus, notwithstanding a general condemnation of Taib Mahmud by environmentalists as good as tellurian rights organisations, viewers of CNBC as good as BBC would have been left with a sense which Taib Mahmud was a benign governor, dear of his people.

The BBC has right away gone public with a statement acknowledging which it had been misled by Alan Friedman as good as FBC Media.

The broadcaster has reliable which it has dangling all programming consecrated by a association pending a thorough enquiry. Yesterday in news equipment as good as upon its website the house announced:

FBC has admitted to a BBC which it has worked for a Malaysian government. That information was not disclosed to a BBC as we hold it should have been when a BBC engaged programming from FBC.

Given this, a BBC has decided to transmit no more programming from FBC while it reviews a attribute with a company.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-14556988

CNBC has serve suspended FBC Media programmes in a wake of a reports. We have, of course, serve suggested which FBC has publicly settled which a arrangement with a global US-based broadcaster was which it would yield a programmes for free as good as raise a income from sponsorship. If this explain by FBC Media in a own Annual Report is true, afterwards CNBC has serious questions to answer to regulators, such as O! fcom in a UK as good as a Federal Communications Commission in a USA.

No discuss of a r! est of t he Penan people, still perplexing to strengthen their lands as good as left with no good from a millions done out of logging their territories

Given these developments as good as a actuality which a Malaysian Insider news blog has right away reported which a Malaysian supervision has cut off a stipulate with FBC Media, Sarawak Report would similar to to ask upon seductiveness of Sarawaks taxpayers either Taib Mahmud has additionally cut off his own stipulate (see below)?

The request is labelled in Euros, but translates in to a sum of USD$5 million around RM fifteen million a year.

Friedman is offering blogging campaigns as good as TV programme slots, as good as bizarre purchasing of airline pro! gramming . Since Taib usually travels in a taxpayer-funded in isolation jet, he maybe does not realize which there have been hundreds of video equipment which we can view upon airlines, so a rounded off million dollar cost tab for this service alone is unlikely to yield worth for money!

In fact, auditors competence similar to to investigate because FBC have been charging during all for airline slots? Because, according to Spafax, who manage! airline programming, it is a airlines who squeeze a shows rather than taking payment!
