<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ini kemewahan yang disaksikan ketika majlis perkahwinan anak seorang Perdana Menteri yang kini bergelumang dengan skandal rasuah, salahgunakuasa serta kebaculan melampaui batas. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Rakyat Malaysia harus lebih peka tentang wabak merbahaya ini. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">RM adalah singkatan bagi Ringgit Malaysia, Rosak Malaysia serta singkatan nama sejenis wabak yang telah melanda ramai pemimpin negara sehingga mereka menjadi dayus dan tidak bermaya untuk menegakkan kebenaran. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has come to our attention pertaining the sinister creation of a blog also called The BENCHMARK </span>at the URL - <a href="http://thebenchmark1.blogspot.com/">http://thebenchmark1.blogspot.com</a> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">portraying a similar template of this blog. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Due to this obviously desperate attempt by parties who are out to confuse the public on the on going criminal probe against 1MDB we have decided to notify our readers and others who are concerned of this desperate move by certain criminal and:or their hired operatives. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Until the fraudster behind this latest attempt to hoodwink the public is identified and shamed we wish to notify the decision to change our template for a fresh look. It must be noted that this move would not stop those criminals and their accomplices from attempting other methods of impersonation or misrepresentation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We hope our readers are vigilant at all times as attempts to cover up the 1MDB scandal appears to have hit high gear. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thank you for your support and be rest assured the criminals won't stop at just duplicating prominent blogs to gain prominence. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Let us all go back to the root cause of Tabung Haji's dilemma. Who is the Tabung Haji Chairman and why Najib appointed him to that position.<br /><br />1.Siapa sebenarnya Datuk Seri Panglima Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim?<br /><br />2.Bagimana seorang warga Kampung Medan di Petaling Jaya boleh berjaya menguasai Bahagian Umno Baling Kedah?<br /><br />3.Bagaimana Umno Baling memilih individu ini menjadi Ketua Bahagian mereka? <br /><br />4.Jika dihitung dari wang yang ditabur serta publisiti yang dicanang menerusi media arus perdana kantung bekas peniaga kereta terpakai PJ Old Town ini ternampak dalam lagi luas.<br /><br />5.Apa mungkin nilai serta kebolehan luarbiasa individu ini sehingga Perdana Menteri serta isteri begitu akrab dan seterusnya melantik beliau sebagai penjaga Tabung Haji?<br /><br />6.Sebelum itu. Bagaimana individu ini berjaya menjadi calon BN dalam pilihanraya yang lalu?<br /><br />7.Adakah benar pada awalnya cadangan untuk mencalonkan individu ini TIDAK DILULUSKAN oleh pihak PDRM dan SPRM?<br /><br />8.Apakah benar individu ini tidak melepasi tapisan keselamatan PDRM serta SPRM kerana latar belakang serta penglibatan dalam beberapa kes rasuah peringkat tertinggi, salah satu-nya kes jual-beli tanah Bukit Kiara antara DBKL dan Sime Darby?<br /><br />9. Akhirnya pihak PDRM dan SPRM terpaksa mengalah sebab Najib tetap dengan pendirian untuk mencalonkan individu ini? Jika benar, kenapa? Negeri Kedah sudah tidak ada calon lain yang lebih layak? Sebelum ini beberapa blog juga telah membongkar isu<a href="https://bigdogdotcom.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/be-professional-about-politics-part-ii/"> sijil palsu</a> berhubung individu ini yang pada suatu ketika mendabik kelulusan 'Masters in Business Administration' . <a href="http://no2azeezrahim.blogspot.com/2013/09/azeez-rahim-tak-layak-jadi-pengerusi_28.html">Selepas dibongkar gelaran itu pun hilang.</a><br /><br />10.Walau pun Najib sedar akan latar belakang serta fail-fail dan rekod hitam di PDRM serta SPRM, individu ini terus di lantik untuk menerajui Lembaga Tabung Haji sebagai Pengerusi? Kenapa. Apa sebenarnya agenda Najib?<br /><br />11.Apakah benar peranan individu ini tidak hanya terbatas di Tabung Haji malah lebih jauh dari itu serta melibatkan pengurusan masalah politik serta peribadi Najib dan Rosmah? Apa hubungan individu in dengan peniaga karpet Deepak?<br /><br />12. Apakah benar individu ini juga begitu berpengaruh di Kementerian Kewangan, Pejabat Perdana Menteri dan Pejabat Ketua Setiausaha Negara?<br /><br />13.Apa sebenarnya hubungan individu ini dengan Ketua Setiausaha Perbendeharaan dan Ketua Setiausaha Negara? Direct-nego is his forte? <br /><br />14.Adakah benar individu ini telah diberi kebebasan mutlak untuk mencari dana politik agar Najib kekal berkuasa?<br /><br />15.Individu ini juga terlibat dalam mengagihkan dana politik bernilai jutaan ringgit kepada bahagian bahagian UMNO serta kepimpinan negeri yang menyokong Najib? Jika benar, dari mana individu ini memperolehi dana sebegitu banyak? Apakah ini diantara kelayakan untuk menjadi Pengerusi Tabung Haji?<br /><br />16. Kembali kita ke Tabung Haji. Apakah jenis pelaburan dan bentuk projek yang di pelopori Tabung simpanan bakal haji kita sejak individu ini dilantik sebagai pengerusi?<br /><br />17. Berdasarkan kontroversi pembelian tanah 1MDB, apakah wajar jika Jemaah Menteri membuat ketetapan mengarahkan pihak SPRM membuat satu penilaian khusus berhubung semua urusan pelaburan/projek Tabung Haji sejak dua tahun kebelakangan ini? <br /><br />18. Oh yea. Apa benar pemberitaan salah seorang ahli lembaga TH bahawa sebenarnya Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar dipersetujui semua pihak sebagai pengerusi Tabung Haji tetapi surat lantikan beliau ditarik balik pada saat terakhir setelah Najib didesak. Siapa yang mendesak? <br /><br />19. Apakah pihak SPRM serta mungkin LHDN tidak berhasrat menbuat penyiasatan terperinci keatas individu ini? Tak mungkin hanya yang membuat laporan keatas 1MDB sahaja yang di siasat hingga ke lubang cacing. Individu yang mempengerusikan Tabung Haji ini ternampak sungguh tidak amanah dan berintegriti. Pihak berwajib harus menyiasat. <br /> <br />Di harap segala maklumat diatas dapat diteliti, disiasat dan tindakan diambil sebelum malapetaka yang lebih dasyat melanda kita.<br /><br />Harus di ingatkan kepada semua pihak bahawa ini bukan lah tindakan untuk menyerang atau mengaibkan mana mana individu, isteri atau keluarga mereka untuk kepentingan peribadi atau kelangsungan agenda mana-mana kumpulan.<br /><br />Pembongkaran ini adalah perlu kerana saya sayangkan negara ini lebih dari segalanya. <br /><br />Berani Kerana Benar</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Tabung Haji has entered into a deal to purchase 2 plots of TRX land from 1MDB for a total sum of RM772 million cash. Tabung Haji is using depositors money and not government funds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">According to a set of documents made available to us, Tabung Haji is believed to have paid a whopping <b>RM2,860 per square feet</b> (RM194million) for the first plot of land. Little birds in Tabung Haji confirmed it was a fast-track deal which gained the Minister's approval in less than two weeks and that the money has been paid to 1MDB in full, as demanded. (see documents for details)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For the second plot of land in the same TRX vicinity Tabung Haji has agreed to pay <b>RM3,900 per square feet</b> (RM578million) in cash. Don't bother about the 'Signature Tower', its just a </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In both deals the risk analysis by experts in Tabung Haji is self evident (see documents). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Despite the high risk and a looming property and office space glut in Kuala Lumpur, Tabung Haji seems to be twisted into pumping cash into 1MDB for land which was initially owned by the Government.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1MDB, as exposed recently by former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, is believed to have been awarded the large track of Government owned TRX land in Jalan Tun Razak at a dirt cheap rate of <b>RM60 per square feet</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1MDB is also believed to have paid a slightly higher rate of about <b>RM90 per square feet</b> for the Sungai Besi RMAF airport/ base land. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Why is Tabung Haji now paying an average of between <b>48 to 65 times more</b> for the same piece of Government land with the poor depositors money? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Basically <b>1MDB got Plot 1 for RM4 million</b> from the Government and now <b>Tabung Haji is paying RM194million</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For Plot 2, <b>1MDB got it for a mere RM8.9 million</b> and <b>Tabung Haji is buying it at RM578 million.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Is it halal or haram?</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak appears oblivious to such massive scams in government and government agencies but would Tabung Haji depositors rise to put a stop to such blatant abuse of their hard earned money? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The full set of the documents is appended below.</span><br />

<div>
After much push and shove from the MACC and those in the know of this diamond profile case, the second guy without a Datukship was charged in court last month. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;"><b>A former officer with the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry was charged in the Shah Alam Sessions Court today with soliciting bribes for projects under the National Key Result Area NKRA, worth RM18 million four years ago</b>. <a href="http://www.ntv7.com.my/7edition/local-en/BRIBERY_CHARGE_EX_GOV_T_OFFFICER_PLEADS_NOT_GUILTY_TO_RECEIVING_RM1_9_MLN.html">NTV7 reported.</a></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;">This high profile corruption and siphoning case was closely linked to NFC scandal tainted Wanita Umno chief Shahrizat Jalil and the 1Azam poverty eradication program under the Ministry when she was Minister.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;">The Datuk who is yet to be charged is Shahrizat's former political secretary. The MACC, The Benchmark was told, had a strong case against both the culprits but only one was charged. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;">Why was the Datuk not charged? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;">Before the public start pointing fingers at the MACC and aim to tarnish their image once again it would be wise for those who decided against charging the Datuk to speak up. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;">Please spell it out if the Datuk enjoys some kind of immunity that we the public are not aware of. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;">If there is no immunity, both for the Datuk and his BOSSes, stop interfering in the name of national interest. Dump political blackmails into the bin and charge the culprits.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;">National interest cannot be about protecting the corrupt. In this case the bloody corrupt who allegedly siphoned funds meant for the poor. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;">We are watching you. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Divorces are fun,
except for the people and families involved. Divorces of the rich are particularly stimulating as couples
fight over money, and argue about interpretations and accuracy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">So the divorce hearing
of Datuk Seri Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib looked to get itself a certain amount of
notoriety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it is turning
out to be remarkable for reasons far away from the personal life of a long-separated
and honestly rather boring couple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For Datuk Seri Mahmud Taib is the son of Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud, who when
this marriage started was a powerful Chief Minister of Sarawak, and as the
divorce started was under increasing energetic attack for corruption, and as it
drags on is the Governor of that state.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">When one looks hard – as
the MACC has apparently been doing – the evidence of corruption is hard to
find, while the slick and extraordinarily funded (how much DOES it cost to run
a radio station based in Taiwan, or the South Pacific, or wherever Radio Free
Sarawak is?<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7777015184063346193#_ftn1" name="_ftnref" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]-->[1]<!--[endif]--></span></span></a>)
campaign gets shriller and shriller.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">And yet, when the
evidence is examined the smoking gun is not immediately apparent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The anti Taib shriekers will tell you
that his brother Onn Mahmud was controlling the sales of timber to Japan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It turns out that he wasn’t, and the Japanese tax authorities
proved this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Malaysiakini
repeated the allegation it lost a lawsuit, and had to retract and apologise<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7777015184063346193#_ftn2" name="_ftnref" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]-->[2]<!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
(not that you would know that it had been disproved, if you just read Sarawak
Report - they keep reporting the story as if it had never been disproved by two
court cases in two different countries). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">Then came the
revelations in this case, where the wife, Shahnaz Abdul Majid, produced
testimony that her ex husband had billions of ringgit in over a hundred
offshore bank accounts, mainly in Switzerland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As he denied this, the implication was that these were
SECRET accounts, and we were all told that this is where the family stored its
corrupt money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, and they didn’t
just tell US:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the evidence from
that case was used in a blanket campaign in Switzerland where it became the
basis of a motion by outraged MPs, and the same evidence was circulated, if the
activists are to be believed, to law enforcement and companies and compliance
officers and banks and newspapers across the globe<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7777015184063346193#_ftn3" name="_ftnref" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]-->[3]<!--[endif]--></span></span></a>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">But the court in which
the evidence was given never actually SAW the evidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was never tested:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was not subject to any of the tests
that such damning and important evidence should be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And now, at last we are hearing Datuk Seri Mahmud’s side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He doesn’t just claim it was
exaggerated, or twisted, or misrepresented.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He explains that the whole lot was completely made up by a
notorious Canadian forger, Cullen Johnson who alternated between hacking bank
accounts and – when he failed – forging the results for his clients.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not once, but maybe a hundred times
over a decade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">If Datuk Seri Mahmud is
wrong, no doubt Shahnaz and her legal team will publish the evidence in full,
as he is challenging them to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What a coup for them:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To
prove that Datuk Seri Mahmud is not only extraordinarily rich, but a liar in
court.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far, they haven’t done
so, and the evidence elsewhere seems to indicate that Datuk Seri Mahmud may be
telling the truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cullen Johnson,
you see, was arrested for these crimes, and the US Government extradited him
from the Turks and Caicos Islands, from where, on the run, he seems to have
supplied the Shahnaz camp with the “evidence”…<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7777015184063346193#_ftn4" name="_ftnref" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]-->[4]<!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">And now Mr Johnson and
his accomplices have done a plea bargain with the Feds, and explained how he
worked for so long as a hacker and forger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">So presumably his
evidence on individual cases is leaking out, and Datuk Seri Mahmud can stand up
and be taken seriously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But this
raises three questions:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">Who is responsible for
the evidence brought by the Shahnaz camp, in a case which increasingly looks
more like a political circus than a court?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they asked Mr Johnson to get them the evidence they
used, were they thinking that they were hiring a criminal hacker, or a criminal
forger?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In producing the apparent
product of this in a Malaysian court, how many professional and criminal lines
did they cross?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>W</b></span>hile we continue to wait and speculate on who will win the 2000 MW coal fired power plant Project 3B, Tony Pua the people’s hero has decided to wade in today and champion the “real winner” YTL Corp.<br /><br />Mr Pua, in his blog, is worried that if project 3B end in the hands of YTL’s closest competitor, 1MDB, it will be because of an unfair decision colored by political influence, and the rakyat will be paying the price. YTL must therefore win.<br /><br />Really Mr Pua? Isn’t the rakyat already paying the price all these years precisely because YTL won?<br /><br /><br />Maybe we need to refresh Mr Pua’s memory a little, what with age catching up on him and all. YTL was the first among the blood sucking first generation IPPs to sign the punishing, lopsided PPAs with TNB in 1995 that guaranteed its power plants returns of 20% for a period of 21-year.<br /><br />Do you remember what you were doing in 1995? Because you are still paying the price for the agreement YTL signed during that time today, and will continue to pay all the way up till next year.<br /><br />With its concession finally ending in 2015, YTL is desperate to get Project 3B in the bag. They brought in the lowest bid at 25.12 sen/kwh, and 1MDB’s bid stood at 25.33sen/kwh, a difference of 0.21 sen or just 1 per cent. (This is a lot closer than 0.42 sen difference that Mr Pua quoted from the Edge who quoted from “some” documents??).<br /><br />TNB and Malakoff put in around 28 sen/kwh and 26 sen/kw respectively.<br /><br />It is an open secret in the industry that YTL managed to get this lower price by bringing in an inferior boiler maker. How far off is the standard? Well, on paper, Doosan from South Korea did not qualify for the main requirements lined up in the RFP documents issued by the EC.<br /><br />Do Doosan’s boilers have a proven track record in ultra supercritical (USC) category? Nope. Its first ever USC boiler will only be completed and commencing in 2017. That’s two years away. <br /><br />Do Doosan boilers have adequate track record for the supercritical category? Nope. For it to be adequate, it has to have five or more units operating for at least three years. Doosan falls short both in number of units as well as number of years in operations.<br /><br />But I reiterate, this is on paper. How YTL’s bid got through is a question we need to ask the EC.<br /><br />Mr Pua keeps harping on lower bid price though. That should be the main contention for choosing a winner, right? If we go by his argument, 1MDB would have won Track 3A, the 1,000 MW coal fired plant awarded to TNB in 2013. But it didn’t, despite having the lowest bid, because there is always a wider consideration.<br /><br />For Project 3B, YTL is unfortunate to choose a plant site that is much further away from the major load center in Klang Valley. Most electricity consumers are in the central region. The electricity supply has to travel 160km from Tanjong Tohor to get to its main consumers, at least three times the journey from any other proposed plants, all of which are in the central region.<br /><br />The transmission losses occurring during the journey, even at estimated conservative 2 per cent loss, would have already bumped up YTL’s bid to more than what 1MDB’s bids are.<br /><br />On top of that, new transmission line to be built all the way to Tanjung Tohor is going to cost TNB some pretty penny. How pretty? Cost of transmission line ONLY, not accounting for transmission losses that is sure to happen, can break RM700 million.<br /><br />Now 1MDB is not without criticism – who really knows what’s going on in there. For this particular bid though, when you look at the overall picture, that 1 per cent difference in bid price between YTL and 1MDB would have been more than completely erased. The “real” price that would have to be borne by TNB and the Government, and ultimately the people, is much higher if YTL win.<br /><br />Over the years YTL have also secured, with varying degree of controversy:<br /><br />· a 30 year concession to finance, build, maintain and control the operations of the ERL in 1997 at an estimated RM2.4billion. You’ll be glad to know that you are still subsidizing this operation via a RM2 and RM6 tax for every domestic and international passenger respectively. YTL is also doing ERL extension for KLIA2<br /><br />· a RM1 billion river cleaning contract in 2007.<br /><br />· and most recently, the 1Bestarinet project to wire up schools costing RM1.5billion, which have been criticised for being utilized as a means of expansion for YTL’s 4G network.<br /><br />· Many, many more. Mostly awarded due to their close relationship to the powers that be.<br /><br />Do we really need to reward YTL with even more? Let me spell it out to Mr Pua – YTL brings in a nominally lower bid for 3B – but with an additional cost in hundred millions ringgits to be borne by Tenaga and the Government, for a plant that will have inferior machinery (thus higher risk of breaking down), at the expense of the Rakyat.<br /><br />So why is Mr Pua championing YTL?<br /><br />YTL, long the favoured corporate behemoth for big ticket contracts. Don’t suddenly clothe them as doing service to the rakyat – it is lazy and hypocritical.<br /><br /><h2 class="contentHeadline" style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<b>Berikut adalah senarai harta dan simpanan yang dimiliki bekas Pegarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial PDRM Dato Ramli Bin Yusuff. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Pasti pelbagai persoalan timbul dibenak fikiran kita. Mungkin tidak wajar melemparkan tuduhan namun Dato Ramli Yusuff harus memperjelaskan harta karun ini. Bagaimana ianya diperolehi? </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Mungkin ada harta lain seperti tanah ladang yang belum diistihar. Pastinya Dato Ramli Yusuff adalah seorang individu, penjawat awam dan bekas pegawai tertinggi polis yang sangat berintegriti dan segani. Beliau harus tampil memperjelaskan harta karun ini. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Jabatan Hasil Dalam Negeri juga wajib tampil membuat kenyataan membersihkan imej Dato Ramli yang cuba dicemarkan pihak tertentu - sepertimana kenyataan Dato Ramli sendiri. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Seperkara lagi. Sewajarnya Dato Ramli juga harus memberi salinan sijil pemilikan harta-harta karun beliau kepada YAB Perdana Menteri Malaysia jika ada lagi pertemuan di-antara mereka untuk <i>mengeruhkan yang jernih. </i></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Allahuakbar! </b><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I agree wholeheartedly with the assessment of this organisation. It is infested with PR/BERSIH supporters and has become an opposition Trojan Horse right in the heart of the PM's dept.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />Scores of Pemandu senior staffers are totally unqualified to justify their HUGE salaries and perks. Many are outright incompetent and indeed a threat to our nation's security.<br /><br />I give you one such glaring example below.<br /><br />This person, Farah barely made it thru UIA (with a couple of repeats) and was a total washout at Zaid Ibrahim & Co. After getting laid off from ZICO, she reappeared out of nowhere into a key post in Pemandu. She handles PDRM programmes and KPIs and monitors the police force on behalf of Najib and previously for Hishammuddin H. Onn as well. Hishammuddin thr weakling was in her pocket and she -- in HIS name -- could summon CPOs and OCPDs to her beck and call.<br /><br />Her partying lifestyle, heavy drinking and expensive trips overseas (disguised as "working visits") are well known in the office, where she is known as the Party Queen of Pemandu.<br /><br />Her promiscuous liaisons with foreign men makes her vulnerable to undue influence by foreign interests and she could even be blackmailed into divulging national secrets to her foreign seductors.<br /> </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378262794681_2716">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Farah is a security threat. Her lavish lifestyle, promiscuity and drinking habit makes her TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for her job. How can this drunk slut be advising softy Najib on anything? In the interest of our nation, pls get her and others like her removed from Pemandu. <br /><br />Pls see below the lifestyle of Farah , a Najib advisor who will ruin our nation if left unchecked.<br /><br />Pic 1 - Walking drunk on the backstreets of KL.<br /><br />Pic 2 - On holiday with foreign boyfriend.<br /><br />Pics 3 & 4 - On the lap of a foreign (agent?). She is in Pemandu; ini sudah kena "di Pandu."<br /><br />Pic 5 - More drinking parties with Singaporeans and other foreigners.<br /><br />Pic 6 - Her Facebook page. More drunkard fooling around.<br /><br />Pic 7 - Record of disciplinary action by Bar Council - for numerous unethical public behaviour ...<br /><br />AND this person right now is in the PM's dept. advising Najib and the cabinet over national security issues. Unbelievable!</span><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;"> </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A recent short film by Global Witness has exposed damaging claims and allegations against Sarawak CM Taib Mahmud. The allegations have been given a wide variety of adjectives but basically it is about Taib's alleged corrupt practices and abuse of power.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The crux or core of the allegation is made by two of Taib's cousins Norlia and Fatimah (daughters of Taib's uncle and former CM & Governor Tun Rahman Yakub). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Global Witness claimed the short film, professionally produced in English and B.Malaysia, was a result of a sting operation with hidden camera recorded by a Global Witness operative masquerading as a potential foreign investor. The claim certainly gives a sense of excitement and has drawn great interest in the movie made by the Western crusaders against corruption.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But was it really a sting operation? Could it be a well crafted conspiracy against Taib by his own kin who have the coveted Chief Minister's seat at sight? I'm sure those who know what happened during Ming Court 1987 won't be surprised with Norlia & Fatimah's latest tune, would they?</span><br />

He criticised his nephew in a speech at a ceremony of opening of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bintulu" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Bintulu">Bintulu</a> port in 1983.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" style="line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Rahman_Ya'kub#cite_note-7" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[7]</a></sup> In 1985, Rahman Ya'kub was involved in a bitter dispute with his nephew, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Taib_Mahmud" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Abdul Taib Mahmud">Abdul Taib Mahmud</a> over allocation rights.

In March 1987, 27 of the 48 state assemblymen suddenly directed their support to Rahman Ya'kub while calling Taib Mahmud to resign as a chief minister. Among the defectors were Taib's 4 cabinet ministers and 3 assistant ministers.<b> A war of accusations on timber concessionaires then broke out between Rahman Ya'kub and Taib Mahmud.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Timber company’s appeal dismissed</b></span><br /><br />by Churchill Edward, reporters@theborneopost.com. Posted on<b> March 6, 2013, </b>Wednesday<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday dismissed an appeal by Keruntum Sdn Bhd against the Kuching High Court’s decision on April 13, 2010 which ruled that the revocation of its timber licence no. T/0279 in August 1988 was done lawfully.<br /><br />Named as respondents were the Director of Forests, Minister for Resource Planning and the Government of Sarawak.<br /><br />Court of Appeal judges namely Datuk Ramly Ali, Datuk Wira Mohtaruddin Baki and Datuk David Wong Dak Wah ruled that the High Court had correctly and fairly evaluated all the evidence and upheld its conclusions that the revocation of the licence was valid and that the director of forests and the minister did not abuse their statutory powers in cancelling Keruntum’s licence.<br /><br />The Appeals Court also ordered Keruntum to pay RM30,000 legal costs to the respondents.<br /><br />In July 1990, Keruntum filed an action in the Kuching High Court, claiming that the respondents had acted unlawfully and abused their powers in revoking its timber licence which at that time covered the largest forest area of over 188,000 hectares in Ulu Baram. Keruntum claimed over RM100 million in damages against the government for wrongful termination of its licence. The trial of the case, the longest in local legal history, took place over several years.<br /><br />Four different High Court judges heard the case. <i>Important personalities like former Head of State Tun Abdul Rahman Yakub, former assemblyman Salleh Jaffaruddin and one <b>Norlia Abdul Rahman</b> </i>gave evidence on behalf of Keruntum to prove its allegations that the cancellation of the licence was “politically motivated” and carried out in bad faith.</span><br /><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Read more</b></span>: <a href="http://www.theborneopost.com/2013/03/06/timber-companys-appeal-dismissed/#ixzz2O6NRKDX9"><span style="color: red;">http://www.theborneopost.com/2013/03/06/timber-companys-appeal-dismissed/#ixzz2O6NRKDX9</span></a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, do you still think it was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1RRNggnM6A">Global Witness'</a> successful sting operation ?</span><br />

This policy has been implemented together with an energy sector where various sub-sectors are dominated by only one or at most a few players.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-weight: normal; font: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Perhaps these policies were appropriate in the past; they were well intended and based on Malaysia having large oil and gas surpluses combined with shortages of skilled technical and managerial personnel at the different stages of the energy chain.</span></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-weight: normal; font: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">However, these circumstances no longer exist.

<h1>The Jerusalem Post celebrates Anwar’s Support for Israel</h1><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Contributing writer to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Jerusalem Post</i>, Michael Ordman, whose piece was published on the online version of the newspaper <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(jpost.com)</i> spared his punches for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, and instead went to town celebrating the Malaysian opposition leader’s defence of the Tel Aviv regime, which was carried by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>“And from the political world, I personally liked the news of the high regard that Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim gave to the Jewish State when asked whether he would open diplomatic ties with Israel,” observed Ordman in his piece <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“We have Lift-off.”</i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><b><br />
</b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Also blogging for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘Good News From Israel”</i>, Ordman sits high on the Israeli media’s credibility chain for his efforts in highlighting the regime’s latest achievements in the fields of technology, health, business, co-existence and building the Jewish State.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Last January 26, WSJ published Anwar’s provocative statement, in which he expressed support for the protection of the state of Israel, and in which the influential paper noted that “…although he stopped short of saying he would open diplomatic ties with the Jewish state, a step which he said remains contingent on Israel respecting the aspirations of Palestinians”</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>What he said was evidence enough to merit the outpouring of criticisms from many pockets of Malaysians, who unreservedly expressed dread should he succeed in taking over Putrajaya along with his Pakatan Rakyat cohorts.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Following the statement in WSJ, Anwar subsequently came out with another statement on January 28 – this time through his official website, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">anwaribrahimblog</i>, where he emphasised his desire for a ‘two states solution’ as the most apt panacea for the Israeli-Palestinian stand-off.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>The ‘two states solution’ is an idea lobbied by Jewish apologist organisations in the likes of the International Crisis Group (ICG), which suggested that both Israel and Palestine be given recognition as legal and sovereign states, and that the Islamic world, in particular the Arab countries establish diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>According to Anwar his position was consistent with the principles held by PKR, which he said was in line with universal justice and the rights of the oppressed.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>He pointed to Resolution 1397 of the UN Security Council and the Arab Peace Initiative, which were founded on the much-touted ‘two states solution.’</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Back in March 2008<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, jpost.com</i> journalist, Shani Ross wrote a piece titled “Anwar Ibrahim: Malaysia’s Future Prime Minister?” which unabashedly heaped praises on Anwar’s perceived resounding victory in the 12<sup>th</sup> General Election.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>According to Ross, Anwar’s win had given him the much needed boost for the erstwhile Deputy Prime Minister to redeem his shine on the political road.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>“As a proponent of moderate Islam, cultural and religious impartiality, and liberal democracy, Anwar's popularity is gaining strength, with some reports suggesting that should the opposition coalition win the next election, he may well be next in line as Malaysia's Prime Minister,” wrote Ross, who was also the Coordinator for the Executive Programs & Conferences at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT), Interdisciplinary Centre Herzliya, Israel.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>To a question posed by a journalist at a media conference during a programme organised by the Foreign Correspondents Club Thailand (FCCT), while avoiding eye contact and shaking his head, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim agreed that his controversial statement published by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) had brought forth a deluge of polemics in Malaysia.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Expressing regret that such a question was raised by someone whom he considered to be a friend (and ally?), Anwar reminded the journalist that he should realised how much trouble he (Anwar) was in over the Israeli-Palestinian issue.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Subsequently, Anwar went on trying to explain and justify his statement in which he maintained that the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people must be respected.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>He said as long as the U.S. and Israel did not recognise Hamas, the two states solution agenda would forever be doomed to failure.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>According to him, peace talks with Israel could only be a reality when Hamas and Fatah made peace with each other, along with the involvement of international bodies. That, to him, would be the best resolution.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Anwar, as reported by WSJ on January 26 said, “I support all efforts to protect the security of the state of Israel,” said Mr. Anwar, although he stopped short of saying he would open diplomatic ties with the Jewish state, a step which he said remains contingent on Israel respecting the aspirations of Palestinians”<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
