UMNO/BN federal gov't also receives foreign funding, says Suaram


Deflecting a government's indictment which it receives unfamiliar funding, tellurian rights group Suaram points to a supervision receiving unfamiliar supports as well, though in larger sums.

NONE"Is it a big tip which Malaysian NGOs have been receiving unfamiliar grants, among alternative donations, all these years? You mean, a Malaysian supervision has been undeveloped of this all these years?" Suaram confidant Kua Kia Soong asked in a matter today.

He was responding to Domestic Trade, Cooperatives as well as Consumerism Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's matter yesterday which Suaram's accounts were "highly suspicious".

Kua explained which Malaysian NGOs, quite those involved with issues concerning tellurian rights, women, indigenous people, migrants as well as refugees, often perceived unfamiliar funding given a Malaysian supervision "does not care" about these matters.

"But what Malaysian NGOs receive from unfamiliar funders is peanuts co! mpared with what a Malaysian supervision gets from unfamiliar funders.

"Practically every mega plan in Malaysia given Independence has been financed by unfamiliar backers. The same goes for mega arms deals," Kua said.

An example, Kua said, was when a United Kingdom through a unfamiliar aid budget in 1994 supposing 234 million for a Pergau hydroelectric dam in Kelantan in sell for Malaysia's squeeze of 1 billion in arms.

"So, for just a single project, namely, a Pergau! dam, a Malaysian supervision perceived 234 million. Can we suppose how most unfamiliar funding a Malaysian supervision has been receiving all these years given Independence?" he asked.

'Suaram more anti-imperialist than government'

Kua pronounced despite receiving a little unfamiliar funds, Suaram remained staunch in advocating tellurian rights as well as remained organization upon a anti-imperialist stance.

An e.g. was Suaram organising an anti-war protest in front of a United States Embassy, any year from 2002 to 2007, upon tip of vocalization out against a imperialistic behaviours of unfamiliar countries, he said.

"We have also been an active component in a campaign for democracy in Burma," he added.

In contrast, Kua pointed out, a Malaysian supervision upheld American troops presence in this segment as well as Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has fallen in line with US policies, including implementing sanctions upon Iran.

Kua reiterated which a targeting of Suaram was a outcome of a censure to a French courts upon a Scorpene submarine squeeze controversy.

"Ever given Suaram's censure to a French courts per suspected corruption involved in a squeeze of a two Scorpene submarines, a BN supervision has been behaving like a cat in a tin pot republic.

"The theoretically 'above politics' civil service - a Companies Commission, Social Security Organisati! on as we ll as even a Inland Revenue Board - have been roped in to try to pin something upon Suaram," he said, adding which Suaram's monetary accounts "are on top of board".
