EPISODE 25: The invisible web (of deceit) - part 1


MMC-Gamuda JV (MGJV) belongs to Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary as well as the Perak Royalty. Gamuda, upon the alternative hand, is owned by the Perak Royalty. Hence, seeking during the players alone, we will realise which this is no typical case.But why have been these people, being the energy scions of the country, quarrelling publicly? What is the genuine story? Why have been all the Umno-aligned newspapers so reluctant to inform this case? Why isThe Starreporting it in such the decorous fashion, utterly distinct the approach it reports upon alternative argumentative cases?
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
No, whenMalaysia Todaytells the story, it is never the reduced story. It is always the long story, or what the Chinese would callcheong hei. And it is not only alwayscheong hei.It is also routinely related to alternative stories. Yes, that's right. You might have review many of these stories before. But what we substantially did not notice was which many of these stories have been essentially connected to one another.
Hence the pretension of today's story:The invisible web (of deceit).
Last week,MalaysiakiniandThe Starreported about the on-going hearing prior to Judge Rosilah Yop in the Kuala Lumpur High Court where NR Sistem Sdn Bhd as well as three others have been suing the MMC-Gamuda JV (MGJV). The volume under brawl is RM360 million for services rendered to revitalise the National Double Tracking Rail Project.
Many of we who still review the government-controlled mainstream media (MSM) -- whilst complaining which the MSM cannot be devoted as well as yet we still hold what it says (talk about the height of stupidity) -- might have beheld which there was the media blackout upon this! case. E ven the inform byThe Starmade this emanate appear similar to it was just an typical box of crack of contract.
Well, as I have said prior to as well as I will contend it again:Malaysia Todayis not endangered about 'normal stories'.Malaysia Todayfocuses upon the infinite stories. WhatMalaysia Todaywants to speak about is the domestic intrigue as well as the behind-the-scenes goings-on about those who travel in the corridors of power. So let us right away speak about what many of we thought was the mere civil box between dual groups of people involving the brawl regarding money. There is essentially more than meets the eye here.
So lay back, take your shoes off, put we feet up, bring out the popcorn, as well as review on.
First of all, if we were to demeanour during who is thesuerand who is thesuee-- okay, I invented those words, so sue me -- we will realise which this box is far from being an 'ordinary' box of crack of contract. You need to take note of the personalities during the back of this case. As they say: it is the singer, not the song. So let us demeanour during ! the 's ingers' involved in this case, in sold those who have been singing similar to the canary.
The three co-plaintiffs together with NR Sistem Sdn Bhd have been Seow Lun Hoo, Shah Hakim Zain as well as Mansur Ghazali. And the defendant is the powerful MMC belonging to Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, the Arab Bumiputera whom Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad nurtured as the brand new Corporate Czar of Malaysia, plus Gamuda, the flagship of the Perak Royal Family -- barbarous for unconstitutionally giving which state back to Barisan Nasional.
Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary
The Perak Royal Family! < /em>
Seow was formerly the President as well as CEO of Hong Leong Credit as well as Leasing Bhd. Only dual weeks ago, he was the centre of an additional argumentative box involving office worker Low Thiam Hoe who purported which Seow masterminded the syndicated loan of RM445 million given to Anwar Ibrahim's cronies back in 1997 -- as well as which was after sabotaged upon the instructions of Hong Leong's Executive Chairman, Quek Leng Chan.
Like many Chinese commercial operation tycoons, Quek was hedging his bets upon both Anwar as well as Dr Mahathir during the fallout between the dual in 1997. That's right, these slime-ball as well as scumbag Chinese always put their income upon both horses so which whoever wins they would still benefit. Hence, when Dr Mahathir sacked Anwar, Quek quickly cleared his hands purify by rught away cancelling as well as recalling the loan, to illustrate bankrupting Anwar's boys.
Shah Hakim Zain
Kamaluddin as well as Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
Shah Hakim of Scomi Group Bhd is widely known as the tighten associate as well as former schoolmate of Kamaluddin Badawi, son of former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (Pak Lah). Back in 2006, during Pak Lah's era as Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir lamented which all the country's vital businesses, contracts as well as projects were being channelled to his son, Kamaluddin.

Dr Mahathir in 2006 complaining about 'the hurtful acts' of Pak Lah, Khairy Jamaluddin as well as Kamal Badawi
Hence, to stay next the radio detector screen as well as not attract as well much courtesy to the 'First Family', Kamaluddin played the behind-the-scenes purpose as well as kept his hands hidden. Shah Hakim would emerge as the gatekeeper as well as toll-collector for the 'First Family' whilst Kamaluddin quietly pulled all the strings, or rather the large cables, in the background.
Did I not contend which in Malaysia it is know-who as well as right away know-how which is the secret to success?
(ReadPartners through thick as well as thinbyThe Stardated 7 August 2010 here:http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/8/7/business/6813021&sec=business)
In the controversy involving an additional of Scomi's shareholder, BSA Tahir, the United States implicated Scomi in the crime of smuggling uranium-enriching equipment to Libya. This was an additional emanate which hurt Dr Mahathir, together with the Oil-For-Food scandal, which Dr Mahathir felt Pak Lah should take responsibility for as well as renounce as Prime Minister given his declared was cited in the United Nations report.
In response, Pak Lah told Dr Mahathir to go to ruin as well as which he was not starting to be just the one-term Prime Minister. That meant the finish of Pak Lah. There was no approach Dr Mahathir was starting to concede Pak Lah to continue even if which meant Najib Tun Razak would be receiving over as the brand new Pri! me Minis ter. You see, Dr Mahathir shares the same beliefs as many Pakatan Rakyat people: which is, work with the lesser of the dual evils. Hence, given Najib as well might have his baggage, during least Najib can be tranquil whilst Pak Lah was right away out of control.
Meanwhile, the former IGP, Musa Hassan, declared which the Police review had cleared Shah Hakim as well as alternative Scomi officials of any wrongdoing, the slap in Dr Mahathir's face. When the US sanctions upon him as well as Scomi were lifted, Shah Hakim released the matter saying: "I am beholden to all who have helped, guided as well as supported Scomi Group as well as I for the past few years, in sold to the Government of Malaysia as well as all the agencies".
As the reward for clearing the 'First Family' of any wrongdoing, Musa Hassan's stipulate as IGP was extended -- notwithstanding all the allegations of abuse of energy as well as the controversy of his links to the Chinese black market which tranquil the drugs, prostitution, loan shark as well as gambling syndicate.
MMC-Gamuda JV (MGJV) belongs to Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary as well as the Perak Royalty. In fact, name any vital commercial operation as well as plan in the nation as well as it would substantially be owned by the Syed Mokhtar group. Gamuda, upon the alternative hand, is owned by the Perak Royalty. Hence, seeking during the players alone, we will realise which this is no typical case.
But why have been these people, being the energy scions of the country, quarrelling publicly? What is the genuine story? Why have been all the Umno-aligned newspapers so reluctant to inform this case? Why isThe Starreporting it in such the decorous fashion, utterly distinct the approach it reports upon alternative argumentative cases?
Malaysia Todaywill exhibit all in part dual of this series. So stay tuned.
