There
appears to be a growing possibility that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak
could be indicted in France for complicity in the case. Central to the
inquiry is alleged illegal commissions that were paid out to Malaysian
officials and politicians, which have been deemed illegal and
categorized as bribes, after France became a signatory to the OECD
convention.
So far, the case has gained precious little traction in Malaysia despite nearly six years of sensational revelations involving bribes of hundreds of millions of euros to Malaysian politicians including Najib when he served as defense minister, and the murder for hire by two of Najib’s bodyguards of a 28-year-old Mongolian woman named Altantuya Shaariibuu. Najib has maintained consistently favorable poll ratings and runs well ahead of the United Malays National Organization, the country’s biggest political party, which he heads.
Malaysia’s mainstream news media, which are wholly owned by the component parties of the national ruling coalition, have worked assiduously to bury the story although it has been reported extensively by the country’s ferociously active internet press and bloggers. With the press conference being held in Bangkok, and expected to be attended by journalists from the international press, it remains to be seen if Najib’s luck holds out.
The revelations have picked up in recent months with the appointment of investigating magistrates Roger Le Loire and Serge Tournaire at the Paris Tribunal de Grande Instance, Asia Sentinel reported in April that investigators believe that at least some of €36 million funneled from a DCNS subsidiary through a Hong Kong-based company called Terasasi Hong Kong Ltd. ended up in the pockets of Najib. A handwritten note found in DCNS files said “Razak” wanted the money paid quickly. Najib, of course, is known by his first name. But there are questions whether French defense officials would have known that in a country where people are often addressed by their family names.
A highly-classified document - the Royal Malaysian Navy's evaluation of the Scorpene-class submarines to be purchased by the government - were allegedly "bought" by a French defence company.
French lawyer Joseph Breham, who is acting on behalf of human rights NGO Suaram, revealed that the company paid 36 million euro (RM142 million) to Terasasi (Hong Kong) Ltd, ostensibly for "commercial engineering" works.
And this a Report by Social Scientist Ong Kian Ming in MALAYSIAKINI:
The Election Commission (EC) produced a booklet entitled ‘The Truth Behind the Accusations and Lies towards the Election Commission' on its website. In this booklet, the EC tried to defend itself against 12 allegations made with regard to the electoral roll.
I have written here and here to show that:
1) The EC has not been consistent in its boundary ‘correction' exercise.
2) That the EC had deleted 14,577 names in Quarter 2, 2011 because the records of these voters were not active in the National Registration Department (NRD).
3) That the EC should be greatly concerned by the fact that 56 out of the 57 voters registered in the past year in Kampung Melayu Majidee in Johor Bahru did not have house numbers or street names and were foreign-born, meaning the 7th and 8th digits in their IC number is ‘71'.
In this article, I want to show that the EC cannot reassure us that there are no foreigners/non-citizens in the electoral roll because it is the NRD which issues the ICs and not the EC...Despite all the above concerns that point to TREASON by the BN/Umno Regime of Prime Minister Najib Razak, the Malaysian Royalty has chosen to remain silent but yet demand loyalty from the Rakyat despite the fact that they (the Royalty) say nothing about these acts of TREASON by the Regime and instead have the Rakyat be tried and be imprisoned on grounds of LESE MAJESTE for insulting the royalty.
The Royals instead of being the Protector of the Rakyat are silent when their loyal subjects are brutalized by their own Royal Malaysia Police under the instruction of the BN/Umno Regime.
It is time for the Royals to step up to the plate and be the Defenders of the Rakyat rather then to be seen as apologetics of the Regime.
