My fellow Malaysians,
This is the time for you to stand up
against Malaysia's modern dictator
and ruthless leader, Dr. Mahathir Mohammad.
An authoritarian who only
thinks of himself, family members and
cronies. Mahathir has violated
all the legal norms that we Malaysians
cherish. The country's Bar Council,
Deans and Professors of our law schools
and our respected retired judges,
for the first time in our legal history
conclusively agreed that Mahathir
had trampled the country's constitution
and now submits only to his whims
and fancies. He is fortunate to be able
to do all this with the support and
collaboration of two corrupt figures,
the highly emotional and easily
panicked Inspector General of Police
(IGP) and the Attorney General. The
IGP and AG are as enthusiastic as PM
Mahathir to finish Anwar's
political career because they know that
Anwar knows too well of their
misdeeds and corrupt practices.
Mahathir who is definitely in the final
lapse of his premiership is
getting agitated and behaving like the
late Shah of Iran. He is now
surrounded by loyal and staunch but
corrupt sycophants. Daim,
the culprit behind all this, is corrupt
to the core. How did he amass
wealth up to RM 20 billion if he is
not corrupt? For us Malaysians, RM
20 billion is a lot of money. Mohamad
Rahmat is also very corrupt. He
receives millions of dollars from Ghanalingam,
the person who
monopolises the supply of films to RTM.
Mustapha Mohamad, the so-called
"Clean Minister" also amassed his fortune
through acquisition of land in
Pulau Carey near Pelabohan Kelang (Port
Klang). His brothers are also
very rich.
The newly appointed governor of Bank
Negara, Ali Abdul Hassan, who
faithfully carries Mahathir and Daim's
order is also very corrupt. When
his EPU office was raided by ACA recently
on Dato' Seri Anwar's instructions,
they found in his possession RM 100,000
cash, which he could not explain.
He asked his friend from Wisma Putra
to admit that the cash was a loan
extended to him. But on ACA's pressure,
this Wisma Putra friend of his
admitted that he never advanced any
money to Ali Abdul Hassan. From
here, ACA raided 15 companies including
a few belonging to Daim's cronies
and this quite naturally drew Mahathir's
wrath, despite the fact that he
originally consented on Dato' Seri Anwar's
order for the investigation. The
highly respected Chief Secretary to
government (KSN) KSN also gave his
blessing to ACA's investigation.
Before I end this note, let me also remind
you not be deceived by
Abdullah Badawi's image as "Mr. Clean".
Abdullah is not clean at all.
When he was Minister of Education and
Defence did you remember and know
who benefited from the ministries awesome
budget? The answer: his late
father-in-law, Dato' Mahmood. He milked
hundreds of millions of dollars
and this was passed to Abdullah for
his political campaign. This was
confirmed by his closest adviser, Shagul
Hamid in a private conversation
with his close friends.
Similarly with Ghani Othman, formerly
a mere lecturer (not even an
Associate Professor). When he was the
College Master of Kolej Pertama
Universiti Malaya it was the only college
(out of 8 colleges) which was
always in the red. He misused college
funds to the tune of hundreds of
thousands of dollars (that's a lot of
money for a college which charged RM5
per day per student) to renovate his
(masters) house and his sister-in-law's
(Rohana) apartment. When he became Menteri
Besar (MB) he spent a few
million ringgit to renovate his official
residence, Saujana. Mahyuddin who
was MB for 2 terms did not spend a single
cent to renovate it. Two years ago
Ghani bought 4 acres of a strategic
piece of land adjacent to Universiti
Tenaga at RM4 million. Where did he
get all this money? If you sum up his
monthly salaries, I don't think he is
able to buy this land.
Many more stories about our leaders to
come. Malaysians, WAKE UP! Don't
let Mahathir, his cronies and blind
supporters forever dupe and mislead
you.
My fellow Malaysians,
As promised, I am now presenting you
one major misdeed of Dr. Mahathir
which contribute to the break-up of
his relationship with his ex-deputy
Anwar Ibrahim.
About 2 years ago, Mahathir instructed
his blue-eyed ‘boy’ Rashid
Hussain to submit a proposal for a major
privatisation project named
National Health Insurance Scheme. The
scheme would make it obligatory
for each and every able bodied Malaysian
to contribute an certain amount
of money per month and in return he
doesn’t have to worry much of his
health bill. If fully implemented, the
company given the privatisation project
would collect a hefty RM10 billion a
year. Rashid Hussain, probably due to
his many commitments and obligations
submitted a proposal which was not
to the liking of EPU. According to EPU
sources, he submitted a proposal very
much similar to the one practised by
our neighbouring country.
When EPU’s displeasure of Rashid Hussain’s
proposal became known to
others, one group of highly experienced
insurance practitioners (led by
a gentleman by the name of Rashid) submitted
a convincingly workable
proposal to EPU. This group, for lack
of accessibility and connection approached
Baharin Ayob, a close partner of Tan
Sri Ali Abul Hassan, D.G. of EPU. Bahrin
took them to see T.S. Ali who came with
the proposal that T.S. Ali (through his
company) would take 30%, Bahrin 40%
and the group that proposed 30%. The
group had no choice but to accept the
very much reduced figure of 30% because
they "did not know anybody" and powerless.
The proposal was submitted by a
newly formed company known as Al-Kawthar
with Bahrin as its chairman and
promoter. Tan Sri Ali, in his capacity
as D.G. of EPU took a personal interest in
the project and proposal but as time
passed by became greedy and kicked out
the original group, which in order to
prepare the proposal spent approximately
RM2 million from their own purse.
The group became frustrated but did not
easily give up. Their solution
to their problem were:-
Took the matter to the court and claim
copyright to the original
proposal submitted to EPU.
Brought Mirzan, Mahathir’s son into
the new consortium. The new
consortium proposed would divide the
cake in the following proportion:
Rashid and group as original promoter
40%, Mokhzani 25% and Rashid
Hussain 25%.
Mokhzani was excited about the matter
because out of the blue and
without spending a single cent, he would
get 25%.
Tan Sri Ali Abul Hassan was mad about
the matter (and) not knowing
Mirzan’s involvement wrote a long letter
to PM Mahathir and recommended
Al-Kawthar (minus Rashid, the original
promoter) to be awarded the project.
Mahathir agreed to the proposal. When
Mirzan knew of Tan Sri Ali’s move,
he was mad and complained to his father
and demanded that Tan Sri Ali
be investigated for corruption case.
Mahathir agreed and asked the Director
General of Anti Corruption Agency (ACA),
Dato’ Shafie, to check with Dato’
Seri Anwar Ibrahim, whether he would
agree to investigate Tan Sri Ali. Upon
knowing that PM consented to the investigation,
Dato’ Seri Anwar instructed
Tan Sri Ali to be investigated.
In the meantime, Mirzan had quietly instigated
Rashid and group to
officially complain to ACA of Tan Sri
Ali’s corrupt practice. Rashid and
group consulted KSN for advice and the
latter did not object if Rashid
would like to make a formal report to
ACA.
Dato’ Seri Anwar was furious when ke
knew that Mirzan was behind all
this. He asked ACA to step up investigation
of Tan Sri Ali and at the
same time in not many words showed his
displeasure with Mirzan’s
involvement. His comment was "cukuplah
Mirzan". Mirzan knew of Anwar’s
displeasure and complained to his mother
about the matter. His mother
was said to be very angry with Anwar’s
remark.
Not long after, Mahathir ordered the
investigation be stopped. The
reasons:
ACA, in the process of investigation
of Tan Sri Ali uncovered many
"hanky pankies" which involved PM &
Daim’s close associates. Mirzan’s
involvement was known to Anwar.
Now the project is shelved for the time
being. With Anwar not around and
when everything is quiet, the project
will be given to Mirzan and Daim’s
cronies. Daim has already made known
his interest in this major privatisation
project. He even ordered the Commercial
Crime Division to investigate Rashid’s
involvement in the original proposal.
This is basically to scare Rashid with the
hope that he will withdraw from pursuing
the matter.
Mahathir and Daim will definitely share
the cake as it is too big to
miss it. It involves billions of
ringgit. MCA and MIC will probably be
given some share to please the Chinese
and Indian communities.
With Anwar no longer around to stop Mahathir
and Daim to distribute the
spoils to his family members and cronies
and with both of them now
controlling the levers of power, Malaysians
will only be seeing from a
distance how the nation’s wealth is
plundered.
My fellow Malaysians, I really pity you.
We really need clean leaders as
well as REFORMASI.
My fellow Malaysians,
The time has come for us to stand up
and revolt against the most corrupt
Prime Minister in the history of Malaysia.
The Germans could dump
Chancellor Helmut Kohl for the simple
reason he was at the helm of power
for too long (16 years) and not because
he was corrupt or inefficient.
There is every compelling reason for
us to also dump Mahathir who not
only has been there for 17 years already
but lately has been behaving
truly like an authoritarian and a dictator
who is bringing the country
into the abyss of destruction. We must
put a halt to his stewardship as
he has committed major sins that we
are not prepared to forgive. For the
sake of the nation and party (in the
case of UMNO members) people should
revolt now and should not wait further
as this can spell disaster to the country.
One major sin of Mahathir which is public
knowledge is his enrichment of
his family members and here he is worst
that Suharto. Suharto, from what
we know only enriched his children but
in the case of Mahathir not only his
children who benefited immensely but
also his brothers, sisters, nephews, etc.
His children are board members of 200
companies (if you do not believe check
with ROC) and shareholders of a great
number of major companies. If one
company pays RM2000 monthly as board
fee (a very conservative figure) then
the Mahathir children easily collect
RM400,000 a month. Meaning, if equally
shared, Marina, Mokhni, Mukhriz and
Mirzan gets RM100,000 each for doing
nothing.
This is why during one weekend lunch
not long after the downfall of
Suharto, when Datin Asmah suggested
Mahathir should seriously consider
resigning gracefully before being kicked
out by the people, all the children
(except Marina) objected the suggestion.
They knew very well without daddy
around they would miss all these opportunities.
I don't have to mention the
many big companies controlled by his
children as this is well-known. We all
know who controls MISC, Pantai Medical
Centre, etc. Another information that
not many people (Muslims in particular)
know is that the company, Transmile
Sdn Bhd which has been given the exclusive
license to carry passengers
to Mecca during haj season belongs to
Mirzan. This is "sure" money because the
planes are full of passengers. The exclusive
right was given to him by Tabung Haji
whose chairman is Dato' Ahmad Razali,
Datin Asmah's brother and the most
corrupt ex-MB of Selangor. (For the
information of Muslim passengers, the planes
used to carry them were certified not
fit to travel).
Mahathir has given projects (if you total
up all of them) worth billions
of dollars to Datin Zaleha Ali (already
80 years old and should be
spending her time praying, etc. to God),
Jaffar Ali (please look at the
profile of his architectural firm; you
will be shocked to see the number
of projects given by
Mahathir), General (Ret.) Hashim (the
Sukom chief - in the words of one
senior Sukom official, the money he
made from the 'gift' given by
Mahathir could last for a few generations)
and not to mention Ahmad
Razali himself (who is going to destroy
Tabong Haji).
The list is endless. As to his nephews,
please check what Dr. Aminudin
Rose and Azlan Razali got. You wouldn't
believe it (I hope to reveal
many more after this).
In addition, Datin Asmah is also making
tons of money through a company
based in Subang Jaya. The job of this
company is only to collect
commissions. Major projects are given
to the company and it will then be
passed to companies which are prepared
to pay 5% commission of the value
of the project. If you are lucky, you
can negotiate and pay only 3% (the
Manager will tell you subject to mama's
approval).
Mahathir has been too long in power and
finds the seat too comfortable.
He would use anybody as long as this
will prolong his stay. He used Musa
Hitam as Musa was immensely popular
among the Malay nationalists but
refused to dump Tengku Razaleigh (despite
Musa's insistence) to neutralise
Musa's influence. He knew both Sanusi
and Dollah Badawi were rising stars
in UMNO but he did not want any one
of them to be too strong to later pose a
challenge to him. He therefore brought
in Anwar Ibrahim. Both Dollah and
Sanusi were traditional enemies of Anwar
right during their 'youth' days.
Sanusi, as President of MAYC aspired
to be the President of MYC but never
materialised as Anwar was already entrenched
in the organisation since his
student days.Dollah who was once
GPMS's President could not swallow the fact
that GPMS always trailed behind
Anwar's PKPIM / ABIM.
Mahathir's approach in politics as openly
admitted by him in 1987 during
the Kelantan UMNO state Liaison committee
meeting that politics is
basically "divide and rule". To survive
in politics, he contends, a
leader has to practice this policy well.
Everybody thought he was merely
expressing an opinion
but in actuality he faithfully practiced it. Truly he is a
Marchiavellian and he is showing it
now.
Now he is bringing back Tengku Razaleigh
into the fold after realising
Anwar was too strong a deputy. He admitted
of Anwar's growing political
strength to his close friends like Ananda
Krishnan and Vincent Tan.
He has sidelined Sanusi at national
level as Sanusi has already served
him well in 1980s. And now he is again
promoting Dollah Badawi and
gradually bringing Tengku Razaleigh
into the party mainstream. He now
c
ontacts Tengku Razaleigh 3-4 times a
week. But all the three are not reliable.
But deep in his heart, he does not
forget Dollah Badawi who in 1987 called
him a liar and a great dictator
(please refer to newspaper cuttings at that
time)
and Najib who is always
a lalang (not reliable). As to Tengku, it would be a major
mistake if he thinks Tengku has forgotten
what he had done to him.
Tengku keeps on telling his close lieutenants
(who still cannot
forget and forgive Mahathir) that to
be close to Mahathir is part of his
grand strategy to make a comeback but
when he captures power, he would
go after Mahathir, even Mahathir is
already dead! Indeed, he has never
forgiven Mahathir! Mahathir would definitely
pay a price for his many
misdeeds for he has humiliated too many
people during his tenureship as
PM.
He humiliated Musa, Dato Harun, Johan
Jaffar, Ahmad Nazri, Ahmed Sebi,
Rahim Dahlan and now Anwar Ibrahim.
He is truly a man with no heart.
These are the people who helped him
to become "great" and what he is
today. Musa's service to him is too
well-known. Similarly if not because
of Dato Harun's help he would still
be in political limbo. Johan Jaffar and
Ahmad Nazri, the 2 prominent journalists
played crucial roles in moulding
a favourable public opinion of him.
Ahmad Sebi, a super rich man now
in
Daim's team was once put in prison (the
Operasi Lalang in 1987 and released
on Anwar's intervention) by Mahathir
despite his important role in ensuring
Mahathir's victory against Tengku Razaleigh
(Team B). He was the financial
director of Team A. In short, Mahathir
is really a crook, truly a man without
conscience and feelings, and only
thinks highly of himself.
Fellow Malaysians, the time has come
for us to speak our mind, to show
our anger at Mahathir Mohamad. Malaysia
is a beautiful country with her
peace loving people. But now the good
name of the country is dirtied and
tarnished by Mahathir. Anywhere in
the world today you will get news about
Malaysia being prominently printed
in front page or strategic middle pages of
all major newspapers in
the world - and all give a very negative picture of
Malaysia. Mahathir
is viewed by these major dailies as an authoritarian and
dictator who is destroying Malaysia's
good name. If you don't believe
Australian, British, French and American
media for the allegedly bias
coverage of Malaysia,
as Mahathir used to say, then read major Arab newspapers
such as
al-Ahram, Arab News, Saudi Gazette, etc.
He is seen in the Middle East as a devil
/ satan. You don't have to go
far - read all the major newspapers
in Asean countries then you will
find how disgraceful Mahathir is to
them. Are these Middle Eastern and
Asean dailies envious of Malaysia's
so called "success". I don't think
so.
My fellow Malaysians, Mahathir, despite
his good name and stature as a
statesman, etc, is no longer the Mahathir
we were once proud of. The
many years he took to nurture and build
his image (with the help of Satchi
& Satchi, of course) had gone into
the drain and he needs now another
15
years to repair it. Are we prepared
to give him the opportunity again?
From
what he has done to Dato Seri Anwar,
he has clearly descended to the level
of clay (ie. our origin) and clearly
shows he has acceded to the whispering of
the evil satans (ie. Daim Zainudin,
Megat Junid, Sanusi Junid, Dollah Badawi,
Ghaffar Baba, Rahim Tambi
Chik and Aziz Shamsudin). It is a great pity that
Mahathir who had an excellent relationship
with Anwar Ibrahim was prepared
to destroy his good name simply to protect
these evil satans. I am sure he
regrets for the whole of his life!
Now because of that stupid and fateful
decision (to sack Anwar), he has
spread evil, sin, transgression, corruption
and confusion in the
society. His actions shows his insolence
towards God, fleeing from the
country's constitution and speaking
of Malaysians in a disrespectful
tone
(as if we are all idiots).
We should not allow this stubborn man
(he is known for this!) to remain
in his error and we must be brave to
put a halt to the total transgression
and confusion he has created. Don't
allow him to continue leading the
country as he will leave legacies (political,
economic, social, etc) that contain
elements which are destructive to
the country.
I am not exaggerating but merely stating
a fact that Mahathir is a fraud
who disregards truth and rule of law,
who persists in acts of wrong
doing, who believes in his limitless
ingenuity but in actuality is so
deficient in intellect and has a defective
brain. He has cut-off from
society and does not understand the
profound awareness among the people
that he is no longer wanted and his
days are numbered. He mistakenly
believes people still want him. It is
a mistake, it is a tragedy to
Malaysians. Indeed Mahathir is coming
to the end of the road. In the
eyes of the world he is now totally
discredited. His position is like a
wallpaper which sticks to a cracked
wall. He will fall down soon. He may
have done many things for Malaysia and
has rubbed shoulders with
Thatcher, Lee Kuan Yew, Suharto and
seen off the lot of them. And now
his time may at last be up. In fact,
the chances are that Mahathir is finished.
He is not able to sought out the economic
mess the country is facing.
His skills as an economist are zero.
He is a figure of the past. That's
why he cannot accept Anwar because Anwar
is a new
Malaysian who is rejecting the burden
of the past. History will not be
generous with him. Hidup Reformasi!
My fellow Malaysians,
As mentioned in my previous writings,
it is time for Mahathir to leave
the political scene and we Malaysians
must revolt against him, pressure
him to leave and must not rest until
he leaves.
It is unfortunate that Malaysians have
been deprived of correct
information on what is happening in
our society lately. Our media -
electronic or print - have only been
telling the public what Mahathir
wants to listen. Our media completely
blacked out foreign news about our
country. Let me tell you of what has
been given wide coverage abroad.
1. Prime Minister Howard of Australia
twice attacked Mahathir for
detaining Anwar and
by doing so is inching towards authoritarianism and
dictatorship. Mahathir
responded by saying Howard is also a dictator.
2. President Joseph Estrada of the Philippines
made an off-the-cuff
statement criticising
Mahathir's handling of his friend, Anwar. The
statement was fully
supported by senior senators of the Philippines
Congress who believed
that the Philippine nation should stand up against
Mahathir and urged
other countries not to keep quiet
under the cloak of Asian
values.
3. President Habibie of Indonesia has
also voiced concern of the way
Mahathir handled
Anwar's case. He said one should not forget of Anwar's
great contribution
to Malaysia. He said he would
consult parliament
whether to attend the APEC summit in Malaysia.
4. The New York Times in its editorial
note urged Clinton to openly
demand in KL the
release of Anwar when he attends the next APEC meeting
in KL.
5. People are regularly protesting in
KL in open defiance of Mahathir
and the police but
this is not reported in any of our country's media.
People demonstrate
in Merdeka Square, a few times in mosques and in
front of Istana Negara
and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. All these are
shown clearly by
CNN, TCS, BBC, etc but never showed in Malaysia. We can
easily conclude that
support for Anwar is gaining momentum despite a
total blackout by
our controlled media.
6. All mosques in the four provinces
in Southern Thailand performed
Solat-al-Hajat praying
for Anwar's safety and victory. This news was
splashed all over
the world.
7. All major newspapers in the world
give a daily coverage on the
situation in Malaysia
and the essence of the news is very clear i.e.
i.
Mahathir is arrogant, authoritarian and unjust
ii. Anwar
is innocent and victimised by Mahathir's political
vindictiveness
iii. Mahathir
is afraid of facing Anwar in next year's UMNO General
Assembly
iv. Mahathir has
brought worldwide shame to the country
v. Despite
Mahathir's apparent humility, he exhibits a lust for power
similar to Marcos and Suharto.
My fellow Malaysians, I know it is not
easy for you to go to the street
with the present state of fear in Malaysia.
But you can do something to
show your anger and rejection of Mahathir
and that is to spread my series
of letters to as many people as possible.
End.
