Global Witness on Taib: Was it really a sting operation?

Big purposes in UK-sponsored movie

At the 12th general election in March 2008, which was Barisan Nasional's worst, Taib Mahmud still delivered twenty-nine out of the 31 parliamentary seats in Sarawak for the ruling coalition. At the Sarawak state elections two years ago, the Chief Minister done mincemeat of an over-confident Anwar Ibrahim as good as Co, winning 55 of the 71 seats as good as retaining the two-thirds majority. Clearly, if Pakatan dreams of conquering Putrajaya, it has to initial take Sarawak, deliberate the "fixed deposit' for Najib Razak's BN since of its capability to broach the seats.

In sequence to overcome Sarawak, they will have to move down Taib.

BN's bound depositer

The 'secret' reduced movieInside Malaysia's Shadow State produced by Global Witness, the previously obscure UK-based NGO, is seen as such an try to move down Taib. The film implicates the Sarawak Chief Minister as good as his family in purported multi-million ringgit untrustworthy deals. Despite its insistence which the film was "apolitical" (see the interview by Malay Mail's Haresh Deol, GW defends Secret Video), many of us have been distant from convinced. The timing for the dissemination of the video itself, during the verge of Malaysia's 13th GE, makes the domestic spectator laugh during the explain which the film is directed during exposing as good as ! fighting hurtful practices.

Me, we find it insulting which these English chaps consider which scuttle-butt is sufficient to infer which someone is corrupt. Did they consider you were going to handle like locals as good as swallow their difference hook, sink as good as ship like in the good, old, colonial days?

Read the Benchmark's GW upon Taib: Was it unequivocally the sting operation? (The Mole picked up the positing by the unknown blogger as good as sells it asGW upon Taib: A well-crafted Conspiracy?

Could it be the good crafted conspiracy opposite Taib by his own family who have the coveted Chief Minister's chair during sight?

Could it be the Rahman family's final try during the throne?

The Benchmark also thinks thatthe attack is not quite opposite Taib per contend though it is directed during derailing Taib's transition devise as good as sabotaging his selected successor, whoever which might be.

The good thing right away is a police report has been lodged opposite the reduced movie. When investigating the movie, we am sure the authorities will follow the income trail. we am curious to find out who is financing Global Witness, really.

I have the gut feeling about this though let's wait for the little for which to surface, shall we?
