Will Shahrizat's family be charged for money laundering?
Bukti Baru Keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil Boleh Disiasat Di Bawah Anti Money Laundering Act (AMLA)
Berita penutupan restoran-restoran yang dikendalikan oleh keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil di Singapura memberi ruang kepada saya untuk meneliti kembali beberapa urusniaga dan transaksi (transaction) yang melibatkan dana rakyat yang disalurkan melalui NFC.
Walaupun berita penutupan itu perlu disambut dengan rasa lega, ia tidak bermakna bahawa penyelewengan dana rakyat RM250 juta boleh disembunyikan.
Saya ingin mengingatkan pihak berkuasa bahawa keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil mempunyai 3 syarikat utama yang beroperasi di Singapura melalui sokongan dana RM250 juta NFC, iaitu:
1. Meatworks Singapore Pte Ltd yang mengendalikan restoran-restoran mewah
2. Farmhouse Supermarkets Pte Ltd yang mengendalikan pasaraya
3. Global Biofuture Pte Ltd yang mengendalikan urusan pembelian dan jualan pukal (trading)
Setakat ini, siasatan dan pendedahan KEADILAN banyak bertumpu kepada Meatworks Singapore Pte Ltd dan Farmhouse Supermarkets Pte Ltd sehingga menyebabkan operasi yang dikendalikan kedua-dua syarikat ini terpaksa ditutup.
KEADILAN kini mengalihkan pula tumpuan kami terhadap syarikat Global Biofuture Pte Ltd untuk memastikan operasinya juga disiasat dan segala pemindahan wang dari dana awam RM250 juta dihentikan serta merta.
Hari ini, KEADILAn tampilkan satu contoh transaksi yang melibatkan syarikat-syarikat yang dikawal oleh keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil di Malaysia dan Singapura yang disyaki melakukan pemindahan wang yang bertentangan dengan mandat dan tujuan NFC.
Pemindahan wang sebegini perlu disiasat di bawahAnti Money Laundering Act (AMLA)yang menetapkan bahawa Bank Negara Malaysia dan pihak berkuasa berkaitan perlu menyiasat sebarang transaksi y! ang disy aki, sama ada disyaki sumber kewangannya atau disyaki tujuan pemindahan wang dibuat.
Saya sertakan 3 dokumen seperti berikut:
1. Email dari Donna Yong, kakitangan Meatworks Singapore yang bertanggungjawab terhadap operasi syarikat-syarikat milik keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil di Singapura bertarikh twenty-five Oktober 2010 kepada Jabatan Kewangan NFC dan disalinkan kepada ketiga-tiga anak Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil.
2. Borang permohonan penyediaan cek oleh National Meat & Livestock Corporation Sdn Bhd (NMLC) yang dimiliki dan dikawal sepenuhnya oleh keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil agar satu bayaran berjumlah US$ 990,402 (bersamaan hampir RM3 juta) dibuat kepada sebuah akaun bank di Singapura.
3. Invoice bernombor V14/10 dari South East Asian Livestock Services Pty Ltd berpusat di Darwin berjumlah US$ 990,402 kepada Global Biofuture Pte Ltd berpusat di Singapura yang dimiliki dan dikawal oleh keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil.
Dokumen-dokumen ini mengesahkan perkara-perkara berikut:
1. Pembelian lembu dari luar negara dibuat melalui sebuah syarikat broker Global Biofutu! re Pte L td yang dimiliki dan dikawal sepenuhnya oleh keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil.
2. Pembelian lembu berjumlah jutaan ringgit ini dibayar pula oleh syarikat NMLC yang menggunakan wang rakyat yang diberikan kepada NFC, sedangkan pembelian lembu-lembu tersebut dibuat oleh Global Biofuture Pte Ltd yang langsung tiada kena mengena dengan NMLC dan NFC.
Ini bermakna wang NFC telah dipindahkan secara haram melalui NMLC kepada Global Biofuture Pte Ltd yang dimiliki oleh keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil. Transaksi ini sepatutnya disiasat serta merta oleh Bank Negara Malaysia dan pihak berkuasa memandangkan ia berkemungkinan melanggar Anti Money Laundering Act (AMLA), apatah lagi ia membabitkan penyelewengan wang rakyat.
Pada masa yang sama, kehadiran Global Biofuture Pte Ltd sebagai orang tengah dalam pembelian lembu ini pada harga yang tinggi menimbulkan persoalan:
Apakah keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil mengambil untung dua kali dalam pembelian lembu-lembu dari luar negara yang dibekalkan kepada NFC?
Apakah Global Biofuture Pte Ltd makan untung atas angin dengan mengenakan margin apabila ia menjual pula lembu-lembu tersebut kepada NFC?
Kenapakah NFC tidak boleh membeli terus lembu-lembu tersebut dari pembekal tanpa melalui orang tengah yang kebetulannya pula dimiliki oleh keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil?
KEADILAN merasakan bukti baru ini adalah mencukupi agar Bank Negara Malaysia dan pihak berkuasa menyiasat keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil atas kemungkinan melanggar Anti Money Laundering Act (AMLA).
Satu laporan baru akan dibuat pada hari Khamis ini untuk memastikan siasatan dapat dijalankan oleh pihak berkuasa secepat mungkin.

Tan Koon Swan: A Victim of UMNOs Black Hand
September 12, 2012
Tan Koon Swan: A Victim of UMNO's "Black Hand", says Jui Meng
by Wong Choon Mei, Malaysia Chronicle
UPDATED; Former MCA President Tan Koon Swan was a plant of UMNO's "black hand"
as well as a Malaysian Chinese should cheer a recent acknowledgment by Singapore's former open prosecutor which Koon Swan had been poorly charged as well as locked up since it vindicates a village as a whole.
"Koon Swan was a fastest rising Chinese leader. He hold in his hand a hope as well as aspirations of a complete community. They devoted him implicitly. His youthfulness as well as dynamism set him a class upon tip of a alternative leaders. This is since he became a target of a Umno chosen for a tremendous hope he brought to a Chinese," PKR Vice President Chua Jui Meng told Malaysia Chronicle.
Koon Swan: A Reformist of a 1980s
"Like Anwar Ibrahim in 90s, Koon Swan in a 80s represented remodel in all sectors a more equitable economy, multitude as well as educational opportunities. He was a brilliant male as well as for this, UMNOchopped him down cruelly. Koon Swan was publicly mutilated, his reputation was crushed to smithereens. Why? Because he did not toe a line set by a UMNO bosses as well as they feared his energy as well as influence over a Chinese."
Accomplices in greed
Indeed, amongst those who follow a domestic development of a Malaysian Chinese, grousing during a injustice heaped upon Koon Swan is not new. The sourness was widespread as well as low though in a 1980s, former premier Mahathir Mohamad ruled with a fist of iron, freely regulating a Internal Security Act as well as Sedition laws to prison domestic opponents as well as shut o! ut criti cism.
His greatest accomplices were former Finance Minister Daim Zainuddin as well as a mainstream media, which continuously topsy-turvy out stories to execute a situation which Mahathir deemed most useful to his plans. It did not help which Mahathir refused to accede to licenses to independent press organizations, as well as until a appearance of a Internet, news which carried a neutral or pro-Opposition picture did not exist in Malaysia.
Koon Swan was marked down as a sinister traitor who not usually tricked his village though additionally swindled their poor, most of whom lost their life savings when a MCA-linked co-operatives they placed income with crumbled.
"The law is regularly stranger than fiction as well as God moves in mysterious ways. No one approaching Glenn Knight to uncover remorse as well as to write about all his aged cases. And Glenn did not usually mention Koon Swan though additionally alternative big cases he prosecuted upon behalf of his government. Maybe Singapore didn't identical to a dynamic young personality who can rival a likes of Lee Kuan Yew. It reacted cruelly as well as threw a book during Koon Swan. you was in Singapore with him during which time as well as you approached a UK law expert who told us Koon Swan had plain drift to quarrel a Singapore box though in a finish he buckled," pronounced Jui Meng.
"He could not take a pressure. We will never know what else he as well as his family were threatened with until they tell us, though for sure he was a plant as well as it was UMNO which led a pull to crucify as well as to cover up him. This is a history which Malaysian Chinese, generally a young, contingency know. Koon Swan's jot down upon a Pan-El situation as well as how he was forced to give up a MCA presidency contingency be set straight. you am not pe! rplexing to have him a hero. He had his scandals though he did not misuse a Chinese. For years, his jailing has been used a symbol of shame to uncover which Chinese leaders tricked their people generally a poor. Many in a MCA did do which though not all. Each time, UMNO longed for to crow over a Chinese, they would point a finger during Koon Swan as well as Pan-El. Now, a law is out loud as well as clear it was not him. It was a Umno chosen as well as detached from politics, there was greed. They longed for a income in a MCA as well as a crown jewel Multi-Purpose Holdings Bhd."
Black symbol upon a village lifted
Jui Meng, a former MCA Vice President as well as Health Minister, was responding to a conflict lifted by Glenn Knight's recently published book "Glenn Knight: The Prosecutor". The former tip legal eagle certified he had poorly prosecuted Koon Swan in a 1985 Pan El Industries case.
Glenn pronounced he felt pained for putting Koon Swan during a back of bars upon discovering his inapplicable designation 
years later, as well as he had since apologised to Koon Swan. The acknowledgment done a tip news in all a vital Chinese papers in Malaysia.
Koon Swan was slapped with 15 charges of fraud, cheating, batch marketplace strategy as well as abetment of criminal crack of trust (CBT) in a tumble of Pan El. He was sentenced to eighteen months prison as well as fined S$ 500,000 (RM1.2 million) upon self-assurance in 1986.
Despite quitting as a MCA President as well as portion out his Singapore sentence, a Malaysian authorities were not appeased. He was locked up again when he returned as well as done a bankrupt as well.
"It was a worst humiliation for any male to continue though Koon Swan gimlet his cross with bravery as well! as dign ity. He was 10 years too early, though you hope he will speak out now. In 1998, Anwar was in a better position to quarrel back opposite guys identical to Mahathir as well as Daim. Even still, demeanour during how he suffered, you unequivocally take my shawl off to Anwar," pronounced Jui Meng.
"Perhaps now, Malaysians can assimilate how much bravery it takes to quarrel a immorality in a domestic system. When you talk about a a quarrel in between Good as well as Evil, you can clarity some people consider you am exaggerating. But have no mistake, a quarrel is still upon as well as in fact during a really peak. Malaysians contingency reject Evil in UMNO-BN. They contingency regularly select to follow a light as well as never darkness."
Paving a approach for resources to be sole cheaply?
Jui Meng slammed a "vindictiveness" of a Mahathir administration department for a second-round of punishment inflicted upon Koon Swan. He believes which it was not usually to safeguard which a ashamed MCA boss could never have any domestic comeback though to pave a approach for a takeover as well as asset-stripping of a MCA companies as well as properties.
"Multi-Purpose was a huge conglomerate which could affect East Asian markets. It hold a Malaysian French Bank, Bandaraya, vast tracts of plantations as well as estates. It additionally had shipping interests. Yet Ling Liong Sik who took over as a brand brand new MCA President had to sell it off for a mere RM500 million. It was simply worth multiform times more," pronounced Jui Meng.
"Who was during a back of a purchase? Many have purported it was Daim since he had Mahathir's ear during which time. In a UMNO character of those days, a word was spread to a Malays by a vernacular papers as well as a grapevine whic! h a Mala y village would good from Koon Swan's fall. But you consider a usually people who gained were a UMNO elite. Their fervour got worse as well as worse until Daim himself has been accused of receiving UMNO's resources as well as keeping these for himself. It is a classic e.g. of a domestic as well as mercantile hegemony a Umno chosen has enforced upon a rakyat (people)."
Cowed as well as demoralized
Now 72, Koon Swan done his domestic debut, winning a parliamentary chair in Raub, Pahang. The following year, he was elected to a party's Central Committee as well as allocated Chairman of MCA Wilayah Persekutuan State Liaison Committee. In 1982 he clinched a landslide victory in a Damansara parliamentary seat, violence a Opposition in their fortress.
In 1984, he was allocated as Vice-President of a MCA. However, he was shortly sacked from this post along with 13 alternative members for urging a party to investigate a part of records for a participation of non-existent people, an issue which had sparked off factionalism as well as predicament inside of a MCA. Koon Swan as well as a alternative 13 were all backed two months after with a support of 1,600 MCA members in an extraordinary ubiquitous meeting.
In Nov 1985, Koon Swan was voted as boss of a MCA, winning 76.9% of a votes cast, a largest infancy in a party's history, as well as a initial challenger since 1954 to win national leadership.
Koon Swan was then during a tallness of his popularity, symbolizing a brand brand new breed of Chinese leaders smart, savvy as well as people-oriented. The Chinese village was indeed roving high buoyed by a enormous mercantile clout wielded by a MCA as well as gifted Chinese leaders such as Koon Swan, who tapped as well as leveraged upon a overseas diaspora, regulating to a fullest advantage absolute commercial operation contacts in both Hong Kong as well as China.
Regarded as a monetary sorceress Koon Swan additionally originated a Deposit-Takin! g Cooper atives or DTCs, which sought to accumulate capital for a Malaysian Chinese by investments. But with a onset of a 1985-86 recession triggered by plunging world oil as well as palm oil prices as well as Koon Swan's own troubles, mismanagement of a DTCs' funds led to a scandal with a executive Bank Negara stepping in to freeze a resources of up to 35 DTCs. The total loss was estimated to be RM3.6 billion, as well as a depositors usually recovered 62% of their deposits.
The Pan-El box as well as a result not usually changed his predestine as well as a MCA's though additionally severely impacted upon a Malaysian Chinese community. They were visibly discouraged as well as cowed by his jailing. Many incited opposite him as well as his second mother Penny Chang, blaming them for a tough times sparked by a DTCs' tumble as well as a slip in a economy, which contracted by 1.2% in 1985.
Pardon
Pan El's tumble additionally caused a Singapore as well as Malaysian batch markets to hindrance trade for three days. The high-profile Pan El box resulted in Glenn Knight being awarded a Public Administration Gold Medal.
In a book, a 63-year-old Glenn had created about a most high-profile cases he handled. He pronounced which in 1996, a box identical to Koon Swan's came up for conference as well as Singapore Chief Justice Yong Pung How "concluded which you was wrong to assign Tan for a offence".
"It was intensely unpleasant for me to unexpected find which a Singapore courts had got it wrong. It was a rarely significant box which led to enforceable regulations being introduced in to Singapore's stockbroking industry. As Koon Swan was a head of a MCA, you put up a paper upon his impasse in a Pan-El saga though left it to my superiors to confirm his predestine as he was out of (Singapore) as well as in Malaysia. In a end, a supervision decided which a CAD could take to court Koon Swan," Glenn wrote.
"Chief Justice Yong was of a perspective which a section you had charged Koon Swan with was wrong in law for you could not assign a person for stealing from a company since as a director, it was not a crack of a law in which sense. Chief Justice Yong concluded which it was wrong to convict any one for stealing income if a wrong assign had been used to proceed with. The visualisation cracked my idea in a legal system. In a United Kingdom, such a landmark visualisation would have set aside Koon Swan's self-assurance though a jurisprudence does not allow for this though technically, Koon Swan could still have been granted a pardon."
Glenn additionally told of how he apologized to Koon Swan in 2010. He pronounced Koon Swan was really romantic upon conference a matter. In 1991, Glenn himself was charged with CBT as well as after locked up in Singapore. He was struck off from practising law in 1994 though was backed in a Law Society of Singapore in 2007.
As for Koon Swan, who is now overseas, he has pronounced he would decline comment until he has review Glenn's book.

PCM vice-president Huan Cheng Guan due which the people vote "anything though DAP" as the celebration has additionally unsuccessful to fulfil the promises since March 2008, especially in Penang.
Huan was mocking the 'Anything But Umno' group, which has vowed to debate opposite the statute celebration as well as has been propelling the people not to vote for Umno as well as BN possibilities in the upcominggeneralelection.He pronounced DAP has mostly indicted Umno as well as Perkasa of being hooligans, as well as pronounced the opposition celebration was no better.

ASEAN, a United States as good as China: Forward
by Karim Raslan (09-11-12)@www.thestar.com.my
Under President Barack Obama, a US has done a estimable lean Asia-wards. South-East Asians, therefore, need a greater bargain of both American as good as Chinese domestic as good as informative hold up as these dual good powers will have an even greater change upon a lives.
IN both ancient Greece as good as Rome, people were heedful of a energy of tongue speech-making in politics. 
There was a multiple of admiration as good as fright for those whose impressive powers were highly-developed, impassioned as good as determined.
People understood which unscrupulous leaders were able by dint of their utterance to spin improved into victory, poverty into wealth as good as offering hope where none existed.
Last week in Charlotte, North Carolina, during a Democratic Party's National Convention, dual leaders former US boss Bill Clinton as good as a obligatory President Barack Obama dazzled a attendees, if not a entire republic as they laid out a box for Obama's second tenure in office.
With an manage to buy still mired in retrogression as good as with unemployment during ancestral highs, both Obama as good as Clinton communicators standard excellence were yet still able to benefaction a remarkably vigorous as good as expansive box for a Democratic Party, explanation if ever you indispensable one, of a energy of rhetoric.
Contrast Obama's soaring, church pulpit-style opening with Republican nominee Mitt Romney's dull, pedantic smoothness as good as you can see a fundamental plea facing a Republicans.
Obama connects as good as inspires where Romney merely informs as good as ! plods, h is unimpressive smoothness serve reinforcing doubts about his commercial operation interests as good as his shady taxation returns all this despite wholly pardonable criticisms of a current administration's stewardship of a economy.
At a same time, a Democratic Party is riding a call of a future: ethnically different as good as plural, it reflects a fast-diminishing role of a white, Caucasian male in American open hold up with Hispanics (like a youthful San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro), Asian as good as African-Americans (First Lady Michelle Obama) very much during a forefront.
This year, Obama was some-more nuanced, though eager to persuade America which his passion (as good as suitability for re-election) was undiminished. Whilst this was not his best debate by any measure, his bombastic bravery was still evident:
"I never pronounced this tour would be easy, as good as I won't promise which now. Yes, a path is harder, though it leads to a improved place. Yes, a highway is longer, though you transport it together. We do not spin back. We leave no a single behind. We pull each other up."
For us in South-East Asia, Obama is doubly important.First off, innate as good as to some extent raised in Hawaii, he is a initial boss of a Pacific Era. Added to which is his personal tie by his mom as good as stepfather with Indonesia, imbuing him with a deep emotional tie to a partial of a world.
Under Obama, a United States has done a estimable lean Asia-wards. This is not a flitting fad, driven by a president's nave memories of his past. Realpolitik is during work as Washington recalibrates a foreign process to match a mercantile realities of a fast growing Asia-Pacific.
As US Secretary of Defence Leon Panetta pronounced during this year's Shangri-La
Dialogue: "In this century, a United States re! cognises which a wealth as good as a confidence depends even some-more upon a Asia-Pacific region. Our goal is to work closely with all of a nations of this segment to confront usual challenges as good as to promote peace, wealth as good as confidence for all nations in a Asia-Pacific region."
We have to realise which whatever happens in November, America's heightened rendezvous with Middle East isn't just a short-term, Democrat initiative.
Romney competence posture about confronting China though even he acknowledges a mercantile as good as troops competence as good as his height speaks about deepening alliances with informal powers in a Pacific.
Notwithstanding Romney's bold protestations which Russia represents a US' greatest challenge, any future Republican Secretary of State will go upon a grounds laid out by Hillary Clinton in a region.
America is thus not expected to tighten itself off from a segment anytime shortly as good as you in South-East Middle East had improved get used to a combined attention since you have been no longer a tellurian backwater. Instead, you have been a "main" game.
South-East Asians, therefore, need a greater bargain of both American as good as in truth Chinese domestic as good as informative life.Like it or not, these dual good powers will have an even greater change upon a lives in moving forward.

PKR eyes pitch electorate in cheaper cars campaign
(The Malaysian Insider) - PKR is promissory note upon a guarantee to lower automobile prices to win await from fence-sitting electorate ahead of what is expected to be parsimonious race for energy in a subsequent ubiquitous elections.
The celebration has betrothed to have cars cheaper by slicing a three times taxation weight imposed upon cars if a Pakatan Rakyat (PR) antithesis agreement takes energy after a subsequent elections which contingency be called by April subsequent year.
"From what we see, online or when we go down (to a ground)...you see a crowd is not routinely domestic or partisan being really meddlesome ... making queries ..." pronounced PKR communications director Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
"It shows which we strech to a brand new audience, a brand new group, which is a fence-sitters."
"We get people who plainly claim they have been Umno, (but) in this campaign, they have been fully behind us."
PKR will have a initial 'Turunkan Harga Kereta' forum during a Kuala Lumpur as well as Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall during 8pm this Thursday.
The forum will be moderated by Nik Nazmi as well as will feature PAS' Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, DAP's Tony Pua, PKR's Rafizi R! amli as well as consider tank IDEAS' Wan Saiful Wan Jan.
**************************************
Now PKR is talking. we have been perplexing to tell we for some time which those of we who visitMalaysia Todaymay be ABU screamers, though which does not meant which all 14-15 million Malaysians who have been purebred to opinion have been additionally a same.
In fact, substantially about 4-5 million purebred electorate might not even be starting out to opinion in a entrance ubiquitous election. And substantially another 3-4 million authorised electorate did not even register to vote. Hence we might see rounded off usually 10 million Malaysians choosing by casting votes in a 13th General Election with about 8 million or so 'abstaining'.
This means usually 55% or so of Malaysians caring whilst a alternative 45% do not caring a damn. How else can we put it?
Okay, so we can expect to see about 5 million or so of we (around 10% or so of those who substantially readMalaysia Today) choosing by casting votes for Pakatan Rakyat come a subsequent ubiquitous election. That would meant 13 million of we who have been authorised to opinion would really not be choosing by casting votes for Pakatan Rakyat.
Do we consider with usually 5 million votes Pakatan Rakyat can get to form a subsequent sovereign government?
If 10 million people come out to opinion afterwards Pakatan Rakyat will need around 6 million of those votes if it wants to march in to Putrajaya. If it is usually 5 million votes afterwards Barisan Nasional is starting to remain in power.
So how is Pakatan Rakyat starting to get some-more than 5 million votes? How is Pakatan Rakyat starting to convince an additional 1 million electorate to not usually stay home though to come out to opinion and, some-more importantly, to opinion for Pakatan Rakyat?
Well, if we usually wish to see a clever two-party complement in Mala! ysia as well as if we wish to see Pakatan Rakyat turn which clever antithesis afterwards usually continue doing what we have been doing. Pakatan Rakyat can substantially win 85-95 seats in Parliament as well as during least three state governments -- with Barisan Nasional's majority in another three state governments reduced drastically.
But which is about it.
To do improved than which we need to strech beyond a ABU screamers. You need to strech a middle ground as well as blockade sitters. These people do not caring a damn whether Najib Tun Razak or Anwar Ibrahim is a subsequent Prime Minister. They do not caring about Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat. They usually caring aboutNumero Uno.
Pakatan Rakyat is commencement to assimilate this. Phewand it took a lot of bashing before they would wake up to this fact. Now they have been articulate about a really largeatas pagaror fence-sitting group. Now they have been articulate about how to cheat a voters. And this is fundamentally what it is, how to cheat a voters.
And Pakatan Rakyat is charity these electorate cheaper cars. Well, which substantially functions in Malaysia. In a UK which won't work since cars have been already cheap. In Malaysia, a automobile similar to a BMW 3 Series costs a homogeneous of 20-25 years salary for a simple salary earner. In a UK, it is usually 2-2.5 years salary for a homogeneous salaried worker. So how cheaper do we wish cars to be? Anyway, not most people need cars in a UK considering which a open ride complement is really efficient, distinct in Malaysia.
But would a guarantee of cheaper cars be enough to get these 'don't caring a damn' people to opinion for you? What about housing? Some people be concerned about housing some-more than about cars. How about a cost of living as well as minimum wage? How about peculiarity of life? How about a really worrying crime rate? How about preparation as well as health?
Yes, cars have been not! all whi ch there is to life. When we already have everything else afterwards cars turn critical to you. But when we do not have a decent home or access to a peculiarity education, etc., cars have been not during a tip of your priority list.
Whatever it might be Pakatan Rakyat admits which it needs to cheat a electorate as well as to have them promises to be means to get their votes. ABU, great governance, transparency, accountability, etc., have been not enough. The electorate would not give we their votes usually since we guarantee them a improved government. What is some-more critical to them than a improved supervision would be what's in it for me?
Now Pakatan Rakyat admits which electorate need to be bribed as well as which all those people who speak so most have been actually usually a bucket of bullshit. we mean, even most who post comments here inMalaysia Todayare a bucket of bullshit. They credit this person or which person of being paid for whilst they post comments under anonymous names so which they have been safe as well as will not get detected/arrested as well as lose their jobs, etc. These people have been some-more concerned about their comfort/security as well as they have a gall to credit alternative people of which really crime they have been guilty of.
we know most of we have been right away starting to credit these sorts of electorate as carrying no principles. Come on! Even we opinion formed upon what we can get. Would we opinion for someone usually so which we can help which person get in to energy with no benefit to you? You opinion for someone since we wish something. No one votes for nothing. It is usually which we have been in denial mode as well as will not confess it.

Despite a passing years, a romantic outburst of 1985 still comes back to me vividly. Indeed, those people were protesting a arrest of then MCA boss Tan Koon Swan by a Singapore authorities. In a barbarous Pan El incident, Tan, exalted by many as a saviour of a local Chinese com ... Read More
Will Koon Swan make a political comeback: TROUBLE FOR SOI LEK!
WELL! Well! Well! It's in truth a singular annoyance as well as dent to Singapore's super fit administration. At least, compartment right away which is, a island republic's supervision had not behaved like Malaysia's gorilla ways using amok to repudiate as well as condemn an admission of inapplicable designation by a single of a former tip prosecutor.
Do we consider any tip central in Malaysia will confess any mistake? To ask for satisfactory diagnosis as well as probity is already as well most to ask in Malaysia.
However, a display is still as well early for response as well as comments, as we hold it is just a tip of a iceberg. Tan Koon Swan's cautious response or non-response is telling, politically.
San Choon give up in frustration
Lee is remembered for his gutsy domestic move to mount in a Opposition DAP stronghold - Seremban in a state of Negri Sembilan - in a Apr 22, 1982, ubiquitous choosing opposite DAP confidant Dr Chen Man Hin. Lee won with a slight 845-vote infancy in a chair which MCA afterwards had never won in prior national polls.
Many reasons had been given for Lee's preference to take upon a DAP, though Lee had essentially supposed a afterwards DAP secretary-general Lim Kit Siang's c! hallenge to contest in a Chinese infancy seat.
Yes! The "great" Lim Kit Siang surprisingly did not keep his word to contest in Seremban.
However, Lee's acceptance was a undone domestic stratagem to boost MCA's deteriorating picture as a celebration which stood for a rights of a Chinese.
Lee's feat should have served to show which a MCA is still a celebration corroborated by a Chinese community. Lee's gambit was which his electoral feat would afterwards put him in a firmer stead in negotiations with Umno - a BN's winning force - upon superb Chinese issues as well as concerns, especially upon education, practice as well as economic opportunities.
However, which was not to be as Umno did not see it which approach as well as continued to provide MCA with utter disdain. Lee afterwards give up in frustration.
Yee Pan & Hon Kam were Umno's choice
That split a MCA in to dual entities, a single led by Tan as well as a alternative by Mak Hon Kam who was Umno's preference after Neo had to be sacrificed. Umno stepped in as well as a afterwards Umno emissary president, Ghaffar Baba, was a behaving MCA boss to ensure there were no dual MCAs as well as satisfactory elections were held.
Tan emerged a personality in a celebration presidential election, most to a discomfit of Umno. Umno was afterwards led by Mahathir Mohamed, a man with an ego bigger than this planet.
Dr M's connivance
It is said which Tan, after serving his jail sentence, had remarked to friends which his greatest fright in Malaysia is Dr M (Mahathir), no a single else. That speaks volume of what sort of personality is Dr M as a conniving politician.
Dr M is not a Umno boss as well as prime apportion today, but somehow he wields unimaginable domestic power.
As an ordinary Umno member, he is a confidant of a racist Perkasa (a Malay right wing masquerading as a non-governmental organisation) which champions for Malay supremacy by spewing rarely factious racial as well as religious slurs to separate multi-race as well as multi-religious Malaysians.
It also resorts to violence but a right away infamous Umno military (so dubbed by Malaysians for a resourceful persecution of Malaysians formed upon Umno's interests) also do not have a will to take movement opposite Perkasa.
The timing of this display is also suspicious, coming so tighten to Malaysia's 13th General Election which contingency be hold ultimate subsequent June.
In a days, weeks as well as months to come, Malaysians might perhaps see Tan creation a domestic comeback as well as this will surely spell difficulty for a morally-tainted MCA boss Chua Soi Lek who was caught upon camera with his pants down in a road house room with his friend?

FOREIGN NGOS & SABAH'S LOGGING SCANDAL
By : NILE BOWIE
IN MALAYSIAN Borneo, home to a small of a world's oldest rainforests as well as an form of biodiverse plant as well as animal species, logging will always be a sensitive issue. Controversy has recently surrounded Sabah's Chief Minister Musa Aman over allegations of embezzling $ 90 million (RM 279 million) from years of bootleg logging operations in a state.
The Bruno Manser Fund (BMF), a Swiss-based rainforest advocacy group, has filed a criminal complaint against UBS Bank over ties with Aman through a number of bank accounts he binds with UBS in Hong Kong as well as Zurich.
BMF claims that Michael Chia, an join forces with of Aman, orderly vast cash payments from joist companies with logging interests in Sabah to UBS bank accounts in Hong Kong, that were used to send income to Aman's sons in Australia as well as a senior central in Sabah.
The funds have been purported to be kickbacks from Malaysian joist operators paid to a Chief Minister in lapse for being allowed to exploit pleasant hard wood logging concessions.
Sarawak Report, a London-based whistleblower website, published bank statements as well as alternative papers implicating Chief Minister Aman as well as his brother, Malaysia's Foreign Minister Anifah Aman, with crime as well as income laundering.
The report, that cites unknown sources, leaked documents, as well as "insider claims," accuses Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail of b! locking further review by a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) as well as highlights a close family connections in between Gani as well as Aman.
Swiss authorities have declared their willingness to freeze a unlawful resources of both Musa Aman as well as Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud (also indicted of piracy as well as misconduct) if Malaysia requests legal-assistance in investigating a case.
Amid calls for Aman to renounce from his post, a Sabah Forestry Department has called allegations of drawn out bootleg logging in a state "wild as well as baseless," adding that a dissemination of such allegations would equates to a dump in joist sales as well as equates to Sabah's forests to lose mercantile value:
"We have reason to believe a unfounded allegations have been politically motivated as well as not driven by any adore for a environment. The allegations have been therefore groundless as well as done with bad intention to discredit a sacrifices done by a state supervision to grasp good timberland governance as well as tolerable timberland supervision in a shortest time possible, despite a economic, monetary as well as social challenges.
Short-term licenses that equates to tremendous repairs to a sourroundings have been being drastically phased out as well as Sabah's timberland supervision credibility is during a top an open-book truth whereby logging as well as timberland supervision areas have been all open to third-party as well as NGO scrutiny."
While a Sabah Forestry Department has come to a invulnerability of Aman, it has acknowledged small-scale cases of bootleg logging within a forests, that have been in no way near a scale as well as extent as allegedly reported. Press statements released by a Sabah Forestry Department explain that if allegations by a Bruno Manser Fund as well as Sarawak Report were in truth accurate, it would i! mply tha t during slightest 1 million cubic meters of joist were illegally felled, representing a land mass of 50,000 acres, or 50 percent of a joist produced from Sabah's forests in 2011.
Given a enormity of a bootleg felling allegedly taking place in Sabah, it is bewildering how satellites images have unsuccessful to uphold these claims. One would assume that local environmental groups as well as NGOs would certainly take notice of pillage upon such a massive scale.
Interestingly enough, Sabah-based NGOs have upheld a Sabah Forestry Department's moves to increase a volume of stable areas in a territory, namely a northern section of a Gunung Rara Forest Reserve to safeguard a secure medium for Malaysia's largest orangutan population. Bernama's Aug 2012 article "Sabah NGOs Support Protection Forest Move" states:
Founder of LEAP (Land Empowerment Animals People) Cynthia Ong combined that "nationally as well as regionally, Sabah was emerging as a personality in pulling a bounds in supervision of healthy ecosystem services, as well as for treating forests as stores of water, CO as well as biodiversity rather than only as joist sources." She combined that there have been still a number of issues that a NGOs wish to address with a Department, "but this is a sort of shift that you do wish to see."
Sabah's Forestry Department argues that given Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) has been introduced, third party auditors who have overseen a issuance of long-term logging licenses given 2010 would have rescued such vast scale bootleg felling.
The department points out that Musa Aman led Sabah's appearance in a Great Apes Succeed Project (GRASP) in suitability to UNESCO, that halted logging to protect a healthy medium of several thousand orangutans during a detriment of approximately RM 4 billion in intensity logging revenue. Sabah additionally boasts 1.3 million hecta! res of T otally Protected Area Reserves (TPAS), accounting for approximately 20 percent of a state's total landmass.
Under a administration department of Musa Aman, a issuance of short-term logging licenses have begun being phased out in suitability with a counsel dump in timberland income to safeguard that ecosystems have been given a chance to come to hold up from industrial felling. The Press Statement released by Sabah's Forestry Department additionally states:
At slightest 800,000 hectares of Sabah's forests have been to a little extent or entirely approved underneath assorted internationally recognized systems such as a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS), or a Pan European Forest Scheme (PEFC).
This additionally covers a Sabah Foundation with during slightest 250,000 hectares of entirely approved as well as 150,000 hectares to a little extent approved forest. Many more timberland areas have been being earmarked for acceptance as Sabah has set 2014 as a year for all prolonged term licensed areas to be entirely certified.
The process of acceptance equates to eccentric third party auditing upon a ground. If such an allegation was true, because does Sabah go upon to attract a courtesy of certifying bodies as well as NGOs, who wish to be a partners as well as to support us in obtaining verifiable as well as certifiable good governance?
It is not mislaid to a universe that Sabah is a first pleasant region in a total universe to have a tract of rainforest approved underneath a Gold Standard of a FSC in 1997 i.e. Dermakot Forest Reserve. This is a model area not only for Malaysia but a pleasant world.
If these statements prove to be accurate, afterwards it would mean Chief Minister Musa Aman has actually overseen an altogether increase in areas of Totally Protected Area Reserve! s (TPAS) . Logically, if these allegations have been baseless, afterwards a purported $ 90 million in embezzled funds have possibly not originated from a bootleg felling of timber, or have been simply non-existent.
Other reliable cases of crime as well as piracy have led to many Malaysians being quite susceptible to disinformation, however it is insane to deny a possibility.
Chief Minister Aman would regain open trust by making every effort to be transparent as well as cooperative with any investigations to prove his innocence, any attempts to inhibit exploration will expected be publically interpreted as suspicious. Indeed, cases of bootleg felling of joist do exist as well as crime is a single of a categorical drivers of deforestation in Sarawak, that but delay threatens a fragile ecosystem as well as a delicate way of hold up in inland tribal communities.
The claims as well as census data provided by Sabah's Forestry Department in truth prove that a state's leaders commend their responsibility to maintain a necessary balance in between mercantile growth as well as ecological preservation.
In a increasingly globalized world, growth has often come during a expense of uprooting inland communities with small apply oneself for biodiversity as well as a spiritual significance of directed towards land areas hold by inland tribes. In this respect, Malaysia is not but a shortcomings, but it is critical to commend that state care has begun taking stairs in a right direction.
The impressionability of a Malaysian middle class has turn self-evident by a control of those looking a shift in government, who have been penetrating to display their willingness to reject a domestic investiture in Putrajaya but scrutinizing a (often foreign) sources of their claims.
Upon upon vacation a website of Swiss-based NGO, a Bruno Manser Fund, ! a single finds it quite curious that a classification has not provided a monetary statements or a list of a sponsors, that it states have been "private individuals, foundations as well as comparison businesses" mocking for an classification set upon exposing environmental institutions that lack transparency.
Upon upon vacation a website's headlines portal, a organization's status as a "rainforest advocacy group" is many curious, as it clearly endorses non-environmental campaigns such as Ambiga Sreenevasan's Bersih Movement in further to "condemning" a hearing of domestic antithesis personality Anwar Ibrahim.
Additionally, a site links to Malaysiakini, a nation's many pro-opposition domestic headlines website, an annual target of $ 100,000 (RM 317,260) from a US-based National Endowment for Democracy, saved by a United States Government.
As Malaysia approaches an upcoming general election, domestic mud slinging as turn a member in every issue, with any side attempting to make use of any event to discredit any other.
Sarawak Report as well as a associate Radio Free Sarawak have been anarchist media outlets formed in a United Kingdom founded by British investigative publisher Clare Rewcastle Brown, as well as have been openly hostile to a Barisan Nasional-led state governments of Sabah & Sarawak.
Brown has demonstrated a clear disposition by negligently exaggerating assorted claims, alluding to isolated incidents of joist workers raping tribal women, that Brown outrageously insinuates is a one after another policy of Prime Minister Najib Razak'! s govern ment.
It is a small measure of unsteadiness that while Clare Rewcastle Brown as well as her classification focus upon discrediting care in Malaysia, her own brother-in-law, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, partnered with a United States' to invade as well as occupy Iraq during a expense of over a million of civilian lives.
In conclusion, a Malaysian officials indicted of laundering income contingency make all efforts to be transparent as well as to go upon to broach a kind of environmental policy that respects ecosystems, biodiversity, as well as inland people.
Barisan Nasional have prolonged regarded Sabah & Sarawak as their loyal domestic stronghold, as well as it would appear that members of a antithesis as well as their affiliates have been attempting to make use of all equates to to discredit a ruling governments of those states prior to a highly anticipated general elections.
While a domestic member behind allegations of crime as well as resource grabbing contingency not be ignored, authentic crime does exist as well as committed efforts contingency be taken to examine indicted people if these people have been innocent, afterwards their exoneration is a preordained conclusion.

The Politics in Political Economy
by Steven Wong |steve@isis.org.my
POWER FOR THE GREATER GOOD: There contingency be checks as well as balances as well as awkward Rule of Law
WHEN you was in university 35 years ago, the theme of domestic conduct to buy had the notorious reputation. It was compared with left-wing anti-establishment radicals, even yet it additionally had many moderate as well as well-meaning liberals in the midst.
This was not regularly the case. Economists had used the tenure domestic conduct to buy for centuries some still do so today without any idea of prejudice.
Adam Smith, for example, had been the Professor of Logic as well as Moral Philosophy during Glasgow University's Department of Political Economy.
The University of Chicago's School of Economics, long regarded as the bastion of free-market economics, has published the famous Journal of Political Economy for 120 years.
Political conduct to buy originally just meant the operative of economics within the state (or polity in Greek). Over time, however, the word domestic proposed to move closer to the judgment of power. It captivated and, as the effect began to be defined by, those who viewed the universe primarily through the lens of governing body as well as power. One of the greatest exponents of this was Karl Marx.
To domestic economists, the idea which markets, much less society's welfare, ! have bee n 
guided by an "invisible hand" is laughable. Power either resides with an enlightened as well as good state or with miserly capitalists as well as their henchmen.
History, of course, has shown which those who represent the state can compare the many acquisitive of capitalists. Furthermore, they can additionally make make use of of state equipment to stifle open dissent. But which is an additional story.
Western domestic discourse for some-more than the century has, therefore, rather unfortunately in my opinion, been portrayed as the battle royal in between individual freedoms as well as collective welfare.
In the economic realm, it has been depicted, again, regrettably in my view, as the onslaught in between big, absolute as well as coercive government versus free, open as well as intentional markets. This dialectic continues to this day. It is one of the executive skeleton of contention in the United States' presidential elections as well as you will find out the decision of the American people upon November 6.
It is, to varying degrees, additionally being played out, infrequently in aroused as well as full of blood confrontations, in Europe as well as throughout the rest of the world, including this region.
So should you right divided place our certitude in absolute as well as compulsory governments or strenuously giveaway as well as intentional markets? From my perspective, this is not even the genuine question.
The reason why you cruise these to be unfortunate (if rather understandable) is threefold. First, you unequivocally do not consider which any of us can brawl which power, either open or private, is integral to each aspect of tellurian affairs as well as the management, from the smallest units to the largest organisations.
!The o nly genuine preference is either the energy which is placed during one's ordering is used in legitimate, responsible as well as efficient, or illegitimate, irresponsible as well as inefficient ways.
Second, history shows which whilst both autocracies as well as democracies can elevate tellurian gratification for the time, they have been additionally capable of starting off the rails as well as contributing to great tellurian wretchedness as well as suffering.
After some-more than thirty years, you contingency contend which you am distrusting of either all-powerful as well as all-knowing individuals or governments. To me, both have been pure fantasies as have been their choices.
Third, for energy to be wielded for the larger good, there contingency be systemic checks as well as balances, there contingency be awkward Rule of Law as well as there contingency be the right to take divided energy when it is misused.
There is zero inherently good in one system or another. Power contingency simply be recognized for what it is as well as under arrest opposite abuse.But recognized as well as under arrest by whom? The answer patently is by those who swing the power.
Most statute elites cannot be approaching to be struck by the hitch of conscience as well as give up optional energy willingly nonetheless this has happened over the final century.
More expected than not, however, it will have to be an act of open acclaim, either deliberate or spontaneous.Many of the economic successes which you see around the universe have been the outcome of the latter.
Understanding the nature as well as consequences of energy holds the pass to making the transformations which Malaysia wants as well as needs. All the best laid skeleton may ! teeter u ntil you learn to acquire, conduct as well as make make use of of it better.
