"Oh No!" - Are a UK's Royal Couple set for a Dirty Handshake?
Today's acknowledgment by a Office of a Attorney General in Switzerland which it has opened acriminal prosecutionagainst a banking organisation UBS,over suspected money-laundering upon interest of Musa Aman, looks set to cause an awkward diplomatic dissapoint for a UK.
After all, a stately integrate Wills as well as Kate have been right right away packing their bags to give Musa a friendly visit!
Sarawak Report initial unprotected behind in May a justification which a Sabah Chief Minister has taken tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks for issuing licences to chop down what remains of Sabah's rain forests.
And you have laid out damning sum of a income laundering operation conducted by a Musa as well as his associates through UBS accounts in anumber of articles.
Details of bank statements as well as of a central investigations by a Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission as well as additionally a Hong Kong authorities into a event were done open in a series of exposes as well as a justification was sent to Switzerland, where a Bruno Manser Fund requested a charge opposite UBS.
Yet, despite this mounting evidence, UK officials have refused to mind warnings opposite a programmed revisit to a state by a British heir to a bench as well as his brand brand new wife.
The revisit is due to take place in between Sep 11-19th, as part of a Royal Tour of a Commonwealth! in jubi lee of a Queen's Diamond Jubilee, imprinting her 60th year upon a throne. They will additionally be upon vacation Singapore as well as a Solomon Islands.
Photo-opportunity?
Great broadside - but could it right away all backfire?
To begin with a preference of Sabah might have seemed perfect broadside for a sourroundings conscious Royal Family. After all a outing is being promoted as an "exotic revisit to a Borneo Jungle".
Just in a past integrate of hours theBritish presshas printed exciting sum of plans to feature a Prince as well as his mother seeking daring in sensuous forest canopies as well as cuddling up to cute baby orang-utans.
Given Musa's enterprising 'greenwash' PR of recent months, a objective has been to praise Musa for 'slowing' Sabah's rate of deforestation, according to UK officials. They have been usurpation claims which he right away wants to protect what is left of a jungle.
However, for months Sarawak Report has been notice a Royal Palace as well as a British Foreign Office opposite apropos compared with Musa Aman's brand brand new debate to benefaction Sabah as an eco-friendly state, when in actuality a Danum Valley Reserve which they will be upon vacation is a small oasis in a single of a world's misfortune environmental disaster zones as well as a Chief Minister is still offered concessions for kickbacks via a state.
Sarawak Report has additionally warned which explanation of Musa Aman's joist crime! is righ t away in a open domain, showing how a drop of Sabah's jungle since a early 1990s has largely been driven by his own greed, initial as a Head of Yayasan Sabah (The Sabah Foundation which is a keeper of a national forests) as well as then as a Chief Minister.
There is justification which over US$ 90million dollars have been money-laundered through accounts compared with Aman as well as his key conspirators, a family crony Michael Chia as well as a Sabah lawyer Richard Christopher Barnes.
For these reasons Sarawak Report has regularly pleaded opposite a Royal Couple being speedy to endorse a male whose criminality has ruined a jungle which they say they wish to see protected!
This is a photo-opportunity which could go really bad wrong.
Why endorse a suspected criminal?
Musa as well as his forest Chief Sam Manan changed a contour maps to concede logging of these once stable tall towering areas of a state
Despite warnings from Sarawak Report only last week which Switzerland was about to launch a rapist charge over Musa's money, a British High Commission is allowing this revisit to proceed!
This opens a Royal Couple to charges of complete hypocrisy. They will of march be staying in pure oppulance in a jungle resort in Danum Valley (a plan sponsored by a world's largest palm oil company, Malaysia's government-controlledSime Darby), whilst all around them millions of hectares of oil palm plantations have been still being rolled out by their depraved hosts.
The controversial settlement of such a revisit is done even some-more serious by a tim! ing, onl y as Malaysia approaches a crucial election.
What business has Britain to give such an endorsement to a notoriously depraved as well as autocratic government, which has remained in power for longer than roughly any other in a world?
After 50 years, who can still disagree which BN has not deceived or bribed a way to a assorted 'election successes'? Furthermore, justification shows which some-more income is being stolen from a open in Malaysia as well as secreted out to unfamiliar bank accounts, similar to Musa's, than in most any other country in a world.
Yet, it seems a stately advisors upon this tour have been preferring to benefaction a lie rsther than than cancel a outing or dissapoint their depraved host, a Chief Minister of Sabah. They would rsther than a Royal Couple shake a hand through which a hundred million dollars of joist crime income has passed than take a stand opposite a forces of crime which have been destroying Borneo!
Eco-friendly? Musa has only sealed over 1/3 of Sabah's forest reserve to 'mosaic plantations'. He is offered off a licences in return for kickbacks
Most of which income has been stolen from a poor people of a Borneo states of Sabah as well as Sarawak, whose natural resources have been filched by their politicians, whilst they have been left in a deepest poverty.
At a time when Malaysia is during last waking up to these shocking truths as well as when a opposition parties have been defying harm as well as abuses opposite them to benefaction for a initial time some kind of genuine challenge to BN's forces of oppression, is it right for Britain to prop them up with such ! a tall f orm revisit by a as nonetheless pure young stately couple?
The cries in Malaysia as well as even in Musa's own BN party in Sabah have been right away apropos deafening for his dismissal as well as his in front of is some-more unsafe than ever.
How he will appreciate William as well as Kate, for stretching out their hands as well as charity him only a lifeline he needed with this revisit as well as their stupid praises for his greenwash PR about a 'eco-friendly' policies of Sabah. - Sarawak Report
