That is why those behind the PKFZ scandal are not scared. They did not do anything wrong. They did not commit a crime. They just did what the Cabinet knew all along they were doing and with the full permission of the Cabinet.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

In Malaysia, Federal Cabinet papers and State EXCO papers are automatically protected by the Official Secrets Act -- whether stamped RAHSIA or not. Of course, so are any other papers marked RAHSIA, Cabinet papers or otherwise -- which is why Ezam was found guilty and sentenced to two years jail when he had in his possession ACA (now MACC) investigation papers related to Trade Minister Rafidah Aziz’s corrupt acts. And the irony of it all is that the ACA as well as the A-G had recommended that Rafidah be arrested and prosecuted although this did not happen in the end because the Prime Minister did not allow it.

One of the reasons these papers are marked RAHSIA, other than for purposes of national security, is to hide the corrupt acts of those who walk in the corridors of power. What the public does not know can’t hurt the public, is the warped logic of the government of the day.

What Malaysia needs is a Freedom of Information Act instead of the Official Secrets Act that we now have. Or at least classified papers (RAHSIA) not involving defence or national security should be declassified after, say, 15 or 20 years, so that the public will know what went on behind the scenes in the corridors of power. (And it should be the task of an independent Ombudsman-type committee that vets these papers and not the decision of just one man).

Well, Malaysia Today can’t wait for papers of public interest to be declassified or for the Official Secrets Act to be abolished and replaced with a Freedom of Information Act. That is why, today, we are publishing the ‘secret’ Cabinet papers related to the PKFZ scandal so that Malaysians will know that the Cabinet had actually endorsed the entire fiasco.

There is no corruption involved in the PKFZ fiasco -- at least not as far as the government is concerned. What happened was exactly what the Cabinet wanted to happen. And that is why no action is being taken with regards to the RM12.5 billion disaster. It was no disaster. The Cabinet knew all along what was going on. And the Cabinet approved it.

That is why those behind the PKFZ scandal are not scared. They did not do anything wrong. They did not commit a crime. They just did what the Cabinet knew all along they were doing and with the full permission of the Cabinet.

By the way, you had better not print out these papers as the police might arrest you and charge you under the Official Secrets Act. Tomorrow, we will reveal more. In the meantime take a look at these four pages. They reveal much as to why Malaysia is having to pay RM12.5 billion of taxpayers’ money to enrich a few who walk in the corridors of power, plus some of their cronies.

This is a Malay-Chinese ‘joint venture’ at its best involving those from Umno and MCA.

Stay tuned for more revelations and by the time we are finished you might just decide to pack your bags and leave the country.

This is clear confirmation that the BN goons are official sponsors of public robbery of mega proportions beyond belief. They are beyond redemption. Perhaps it is better for the rakyat to abandon a sinking ship, migrate to Australia, US or Canada. Those countries do care for its people not like Malaysia where the government robs from their own.

My disgust for this pariah country is beyond description. Since the past year after observing all that is going on I really want to "pack my bags and leave the country" I've been reading about migration a lot but sadly I don't qualify.

We must, really really must get rid of the umNO-Nazi-Party once and for all in next general elections.

OTK may have unintentionally gone too far thats why PM quickly put up a task force to do damaged control, before more damaging revelations are out.
However we can rest assured that the two biggest political parties in Malaysia (UMNO & MCA) are deeply involved hand in hand in this episode.
Long live UMNO...Long live MCA....IN HELLL!!!

Hi Justice, good graphics for us to visualize. Man, 10 pallets for 1 billion. That means >125 pallets for 12.5 billion siphoned off by these lanuns in 1 project alone!!! That's just the tip of the humongous BN rasuah iceberg where another 90% of pillaging and plundering are hidden by Mahatahi, Diam, Toyol, Rafidah and the other lanuns over 52 years. I am damned piss!!! I want all the moeny these lanuns plundered to be recovered back and all these bastards thrown into jail like the Taiwanese President.

Let us wait for the rest of the revelation. This is just a memorandum asking for approval of the request. It also gave some background information. The document is not revealing anything new that is not already in the public domain i.e. it had already happened.

One question that came to mind was whether the cabinet knew of the issuant of letter of support by the minister of transport.

What is so secretive about this directive that it should warrant a "Rahsia" chop. The objective,that is the development of this sector would have all the support of the people ,and with a wider public discussion of the pros and cons of the project. Other than the centrifugal ,which the the engineers and his tool maker claimed ignorant of its end use, nothing made in Malaysia is not in the world domain. That said,the misuse of classification serves one purpose,and one purpose only,providing the smoke screen for looters of public coffers to have a free reign at every turn. Do not blame the beat policeman for emulating the leadership by considering his side income morally okay.

The next project that potentially can make PKFZ look like peanuts is the Iskanda Project in Johor. I think the people should take heed of this from the beginning so that it will not end up like the other one in Port Klang.

BN has always treated the rakyat as sacrificial pawns while plundering the country's rich resources for themselves. Thank goodness for RPK who has single handedly expose their evil intents, fighting fire with fire.
We cannot talk of upholding the laws when the whole legal set-up has been sabotaged by BN. We need to set new platform for a new order but that can only come when and should PR wins the next GE. Meanwhile, RPK has all my support with his wily ways.

So, RPK has confirmed what many have been suspecting-the PKFZ scandal goes to the top of the food chain here.
No wonder, no action can be taken!
But wasn't OTK part of the Cabinet then?
Ha! He's not a member of that inner Cabinet that authorised the swallowing of this vast amount of the rakyat's money!!
So, poor OTK, he's history!!
And the MCA will get a scandal tainted leader who will not dare to squeak in front of the UMNOputras!!

An WISE effort to tell the TRUTH before it is swept under the carpet.
"There is no corruption involved in the PKFZ fiasco.. And the Cabinet approved it.
They did not do anything wrong. They did not commit a crime. They just did what the Cabinet knew all along they were doing and with the full permission of the Cabinet." It is a very good reading materials for all VOTERS to ponder over during every by-elections and 13GE ! LET's have more REVELATIONS ! SABM.

My simple brain is dazzled by all these numbers like 4,632,732,000. I can't comprehend how much that is. Now I understand why MACC hasn't taken any action, because they are like deers caught in the headlight when they stare at these numbers, the brain just goes blank. Now, a councilman alleged to have misused 2,000 riggit, that's something to "kill" for.
