Taib Paid Out $5 Million To Attack Sarawak Report! – International Expose
Misteri gentar mempertahankan 1 Malaysia

We revealed how BN politicians, including the Prime Minister Najib Razak, Abdullah Badawi and Taib Mahmud have been paying the production company, the UK-based FBC Media, millions of ringgit of taxpayers' money to buy them positive publicity on the show.

Allowing slots to be purchased in this way, deceiving millions of viewers who thought they were watching impartial programming, is a serious breach of broadcasting laws, for which broadcasters such as CNBC's parent company, the American broadcasting giant NBC, would be held ultimately responsible.

Last night the company's acting chief executive, Charlotte Westgate, made this statement to Sarawak Report confirming the decision to withdraw the show:

"In light of serious questions raised last week, CNBC immediately initiated an examination of FBC and its business practices and has withdrawn the programme 'World Business' indefinitely."

Further questions to answer

The BBC, who also carry programmes by FBC Media have yet to respond to our enquiries, however it is believed they too have launched an immediate enquiry into the activities of FBC Media. CNN has also carried a number of suspect shows made by FBC, including a number of interviews with Najib by the company's President John Defterios.

Meanwhile, there remain many questions that the broadcasters still need to answer. According to broadcasting laws it is the broadcast company that is held ultimately responsible by the licencing authorities for the content of their programmes, so how could they have allowed the corruption of one of their top shows by Malaysia's BN politicians to carry on for so long?

Our key questions are these:

Chairman Mao and the Communist Party of China are widely known to be the inspiration and source of support for the Communist Party of Malaya.

In 2009, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak met with President Hu Jintao of the Communist Party of China on cooperation in trade and investment.

Every year, representatives of the Communist Party of Cuba are invited to and attend the Umno general assembly in Kuala Lumpur.

Mukhriz Mahathir is the president of the Friends of Cuba Association in Malaysia, which was set up to enhance bilateral cooperation between Malaysia and communist Cuba

A Vietnamese delegation headed by the secretary-general of the Communist Party of Vietnam was warmly welcomed at the Umno headquarters in January 2010.

Going by the irrationality and paranoia that has characterised the government's thinking and actions over the past one month, all the individuals in these situations should be charged with waging war against the Agong or, if that charge is untenable, then held without trial for 60 days, and later, for multiples of two years under the Emergency Ordinance (EO).

Their association with communist leaders or anything communist should be interpreted as trying to revive and 'deify' the communist ideology, without a thought, as de facto Law Minister Nazri laments, for 'Malaysia's security forces (who) had fought, died or were maimed by the guerrilla units (of the Communist Party of Malaya).'

And such action would be justified for, as Nazri moans, "... how to explain to soldiers and soldiers' families they died for nothing?"

Such has been the misfortune of the six Parti Sosialis Malaysia activists who were held in solitary confinement until the evening of last Friday – for having in their possession half a dozen T-shirts bearing the images of Che Guevara, Rashid Maidin, Chin Peng, Abdullah CD and Suriani Abdullah.

All of these people, except for Che Guevara, are members of the banned Communist party of Malaya (CPM) with which the government signed the Haadyai Peace Accord in 1989, which ended the armed struggle of the CPM.

These T-shirts became the 'weapons' used by the police to justify a seven-day remand, at the end of which the PSM 6 were released from the original charge, and rearrested on a new charge that exposed the true motive of the government in initially ordering the fantastic Section 122 Penal Code charge.

The EO notification paper revealed that the police considered the six to be the prime movers of Bersih 2.0, which was deemed a security threat, and thus had to be locked up. It was clear that the government was using the PSM 6 to warn and deter people from participating in the Bersih 2.0 rally.

Surely, police intelligence cannot be that stupid. Though we think it is a huge compliment to be seen as prime movers of Bersih 2.0, the truth is that the Bersih 2.0 organising committee is restricted to NGOs, and the PSM as a political party, is merely a supporter.

Anyhow, the now historical July 9 has come and gone. Despite the government terrorising the citizens, and creating an emergency situation in Kuala Lumpur, 50,000 brave and patriotic Malaysians made their way to the rally.

psm

What reason remained, then, for the continued denial of the six their freedom? If initially the government denied the PSM 6 their freedom with the use of taking illegal and criminal actions, holding them until July 29 and using them as scapegoats for its political ends proves their release proves it wrong.

To resort to the communist bogey to legitimise the illegal and inhuman detention of the six is an act of desperation by people who are willing to clutch at straws to justify their actions and remain in power.

Many times in the past the government has used the draconian ISA to put away loyal Malaysian citizens on charges of being 'subversives' and 'communist terrorists'

In reality these political prisoners have only been fearless critics of corruption, nepotism and overall bad governance, racist divide and rule policies, and the unfair distribution of the nation's wealth, all of which have become the dominant features of the BN government over their 54 years in power, and especially in the last 30 years.

The Last Tango

But the 13th general election is not just the 13th general election. It is the final showdown between Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim. It is the Battle Royale, the final determination of the last man standing. This is the crucial test as to who will reign Putrajaya as the Emperor of Malaysia and who will sit out his final days in the Sungai Buloh Prison.

But this is not about a turf war between two people who think they are God's gift to Malaysia and therefore should be Numero Uno in the administrative capital of Malaysia that used to be called Perang Besar before the name was changed to Putrajaya.

This is about who shall take the reins of leadership and guide Malaysia through the most critical period where the brain drain and capital flight over the last couple of years promises to relegate Malaysia to the level of a third world nation with third world mentality.

This is about what lays in store for the rakyat if the country is torn apart by battling giants who will lay waste to whatever little is left of this country. Is there not a Malaysian saying that when the elephants fight the grass gets trampled?

A few weeks ago, RPK already predicted that the 13th GE will be held after the Budget - which means the Budget is likely to be an 'election budget' with a lot of goodies to beguile the rakyat into voting for BN. He said:

The government realises how dangerous it is to allow the march to go on. To a certain extent the November 2007 march, BERSIH 1.0, had an affect on the March 2008 general election. They are worried that the BERSIH 2.0 march may also affect the next general election, whenever that may be held -- probably on 11 November 2011 or 11-11-11 according to some estimates.

Lim Kit Siang also spoke about it here.

RPK has planned for the MCLM AGM to be held outside Malaysia in December because he expects the BN to retain the Federal government which will mean all doors are closed for his return to the country. If not, he would have planned for the MCLM AGM to be held in KL. The AGM will be held outside Malaysia with a video link or SKYPE connection for those in Malaysia to participate.

The performance of Pakatan Rakyat thus far leaves much to be desired. There is a huge gap between what was promised and what has been delivered. Because of this, Pakatan Rakyat may fail to win the confidence of the voters. Najib is not about to twiddle his thumbs and let Pakatan take over and then spend a long time in the Sungai Buloh Prison for a variety of crimes, maybe even murder. Still, it is not too late for Pakatan Rakyat to get its act together.

This 'Last Tango' in the guise of the 13th GE will be a life-and-death struggle between Najib and Anwar.

And only one man will be left standing at the end of it. It is winner takes all and loser lose all. One will "die" and the other will be "immortal'.

Obviously, the stakes are high and this is a fight to the death and could be brutal and bloody, figuratively speaking.

That's when I realised how important gender recognition and acceptance was for her, and how without it, life was not worth living. I had this strange fear that she was going to take her own life. Of course, the hospital and doctors now tell us she died of a heart problem and low blood pressure. It would not be proper for me to think otherwise.

We as a nation must not let her death go to waste, for we can learn something from this tragic loss of life. If we do nothing, then more lives will be wasted, and more families will be heartbroken or will suffer in silence. Questions about sexuality, gender, belief, faith and personal freedom are important matters to the individuals concerned. To many of us, they constitute the core of our existence. That's why the Government (and that includes the Ministers, the Registration Department, religious authorities and judges) should handle these issues with care and gentle consideration.

I know it's difficult for this Government to be gentle and respectful of minorities, or anyone different. They have begun to believe their own spin: that they are the great protectors of the religion, race and general wellbeing of the Malays. They have taken it upon themselves to decide for the Malays (who are by law Muslims) everything under the sun, big and small. For example, if the Malays want to sell a piece of property, chances are the Menteri Besar and his Exco have to approve the transaction. I tried to sell a small shop lot after owning the property for four years,but my application was rejected. Maybe one day during a recession when prices have gone south, I will finally get the approval to sell from these great protectors of my race. It seems that as a Malay, I am not considered fit enough to decide when I can sell my own property. I am not fit to take advantage of the market situation. I must be really incapable and weak, like a walking handicap. My rights as a property owner are restricted, but the Government will say it's for my own good.

I apologise for the digression, but this same lack of recognition of our right to choose is reflected in Aleesha's case. In future, if a Malay says she is a woman, whether by birth or by biological transformation in adult life (and scientifically or by hormonal testing one can easily establish that assertion to be largely correct), then I hope the Registration Department will just accept that fact. Why is the Department so interested in denying her proper identity?

We can expose FBC Media, a TV production company which doubles as a "strategic communications" firm, for conducting an illicit scam over the past decade, secretly selling slots across a number of supposedly impartial TV news programmes to promote its international clients, including Najib Razak and Taib Mahmud.

The practice, which is designed to deceive hundreds of millions of TV viewers, has netted the company tens of millions of dollars, providing characters like Taib Mahmud with positive publicity on prime international TV shows. It is all paid for, of course, by their own taxpayers, whom they are also seeking to dupe and impress.

Our evidence further shows that FBC Media are also linked to the vicious online blogging campaigns in the US which have defamed both Anwar Ibrahim and Sarawak Report over the past months [see Sarawak Reports Dirty Tricks Coverage].

Top global TV stations in trouble

Our in-depth investigation into the scandal implicates some of the world's most prestigious broadcasting networks, including CNBC, CNN and even BBC World, which is supported by the British government.

All these stations have carried programmes made by FBC Media, containing items promoting their multi-million dollar PR clients.

Allowing characters like Taib Mahmud to buy positive coverage on editorial news shows is rightly banned under broadcasting laws and it is those broadcasting companies themselves that hold ultimate legal responsibility for all the content they put out.

Maka, mana mungkin sesiapa gentar mempertahankan 1 Malaysia?

Mungkin kita jadi gentar sebab orang UMNO , parti yang di ketuai oleh PM kita, mengalami tekanan kelam kabut serta tidak karuan fikiran mereka. Bayangkan, semenjak 1981 dan berkemuncak pula dari 1988 apabila UMNO baru di ujudkan, orang UMNO hanya ada satu sahaja paradigm- iaitu bercakap segala gala nya dari sudut kepentingan orang Melayu.

Tiba tiba, tahun 2010, setelah lebh 30 tahun bercakap dari sudut Melayu sentrik, orang UMNO di suruh bercakap mengenai 1 Malaysia. Bagaimana mereka tidak bercelalru fikiran? Selama ini mereka hanya tahu bercakap serta beroperasi atas landasan pro- perkauman, Najib pula suruh mereka cakap tidak perkauman.

Sebab itu, ketika selesai Perhimpunan Agung UMNO tahun lalu, saya melihat para perwakilan semua menolak idea idea besar Najib. Secara keseluruhan idea Najib mengenai 1 Malaysia, mengenai transformasi ekonomi, mengenai segala nya lah, di tolak. Namun, akhbar arus perdana tidak menghuraikan perkara ini. Maka elok pula saya mengingatkan nya.

Bila Najib cakap mengenai 1 Malaysia, perwakilan bercakap mengenai ketuanan Melayu atau Melayu di dahulukan. Apakala Najib bercakap mengenai transformasi ekonomi, para perwakilan mendesak dasar ala DEB di kembalikan. Akhirnya, modal untuk Najib mempertahankan diri ialah mengistiharkan bahawa dia anak Tun Razak. Yang ini, tentulah tidak ada orang boleh nafikan.

Tapi apakah penilaian kita apabila seseorang hanya boleh mempertahankan diri nya, dengan resort kepada mengingatkan perwakilan bahawa dia anak Tun Razak? Kepada saya itu sudah jelas menunjukkan Najib tidak terdaya mempertahankan idea idea besar nya atas dasar merit.

Jadi deep down orang Melayu curiga dengan wawasan Najib.

Setelah 30 tahun bercakap dan menghidupkan cita cita Melayu Raya dalam segala aspek kehidupan, kita di kehendaki mengubah haluan. Sampai bila bila pun, matlamat dan agenda orang Melayu tidak akan dapat di capai dan ianya akan di tunda untuk jangka waktu yang tidak dapat di tentukan.

Keadaan yang melanda orang Melayu hari ini, terutama nya orang UMNO tidak ubah seperti orang yang baru hendak belajar solat dan puasa.

Seorang ustaz bertanya pada sahabat nya, wok weh, mengapa kamu tidak berpuasa, maka sahabat nya menjawab, bagaimana mahu puasa sedangkan aku tidak sembahyang. Bukan kah ulamak mengingatkan kita, kalau kita puasa tapi tidak sembahyang, maka puasa kita jadi sia sia kerana yang kita dapat ialah berlapar.
