Ibrahim Ali, did you work for Vincent Tan?

Wong Choon Mei, Harakah Daily

PAS leaders have called on Perkasa chairman Ibrahim Ali to clarify a news report that he had worked for Chinese gambling king Vincent Tan, who has become the latest Malaysian to join the Forbes’ list of billionaires.

“If this report is true, then Ibrahim Ali must explain to Perkasa members, in fact to all Malays, why he keeps harping on the Chinese overtaking the country and yet quietly, he works for them,” PAS central committee member Dr Syed Azman told Harakahdaily.

“What is this if it is not double standards and hypocrisy? He is going to give Malays a bad name if he continues to play his racist card and Umno continues to sanction him.”

On Friday, news portal Malaysia Today splashed out a 2003 annual report of manufacturing firm Dunham-Bush Malaysia, which was then controlled by Vincent and his brother Danny.

In the annual report, Ibrahim is listed as an independent non-executive director and also a member of the firm’s audit committee.

Slamming tycoons like Vincent

Of late, Ibrahim has ruffled racial feathers more than any other political personality. He has denied being a racist, yet in the next breath, he has slammed the non-Malays for demanding equal rights.

He has also warned his community that Malaysia was in danger of being controlled by the other ethnic groups in particular the Malaysian Chinese.

“Look at how Vincent Tan became successful - he took over the privatisation of Berjaya-Toto," Ibrahim said in a recent press interview.

"The Genting group succeeded because of its monopoly on gambling. Ananda Krishnan rose to the fore because of his monopoly over Astro and the Maxis 012 license

“Looking at what they got, is it not a form of assistance, 'affirmative action' for the Chinese taukes? How can we compare what they got with the two sen small contracts given to the Malays?”

Praising the NEP

However, what Ibrahim did not say about the affirmative action plans in the New Economic Policy is that they have actually done very little to spread wealth amongst the Malays, particularly those in the rural areas.

Instead, the NEP, which originally aimed to eradicate poverty and help backward groups get a toehold in the economy, has been severely abused through the decades by Umno leaders.

In the name of protecting the Malays, Umno’s elite leadership granted huge economic largess and government contracts to unscrupulous cronies, resulting in widespread and endemic corruption.

“The NEP benefits only the Umnoputras and not the ordinary folk. This is something the Malays themselves are very well aware of,” PAS vice president Mahfuz Omar said.

“So Ibrahim should stop playing the race card as if no one can see through his tactics. In fact, everyone knows of his connection to Umno stalwarts like Mahathir Mohamad and Prime Minister Najib Razak. He should stop taking Malaysians, especially the Malays, for fools.

Ee Bra Him is worse than a prostitute who sells her body to survive. He sells his soul for the lust of money. His greed & avarice knows no bounds..
Ee Bra Him is the greatest hypocrite the world has ever known. He speaks with a fork tongue & acts contrary to what he stands for.
Ee Bra Him is worse than Brutus & Judas combined. He is the world's greatest betrayer of people.
Ee Bra Him is more evil than the devil. He is the devil's "sifu".or master.
He needs the bra to strangle himself.

What do you expect of a former UMNOputra, now an alied member of UMNO? These crooks cheat their own kinds to enrich themselves.

> "Why would Mamak be so stupid to give such licenses for free to Vincent Tan and others?" A rumour that fails to die down is that Vincent Tan and Ananda Krishnan are Mahathir's proxy. Whether UMNO has access to the fund is anybody's guess.

Ibrahim Perkosa,
There's not much difference between "doing business-with and working-for" anybody.
To work is to earn monthly pay and other perks.
To do business is to get dividends & profits .
But in your case, you get maximum gains through your political connections or influence.

You are insulting Najib Razak deep into the ase.Cos His late father Tun Razak was the 1st PM visited China 40 yrs ago and friendly relation there started.Was Tun Razak betrayed Malays of Malaysia being friendly with then was still genuine communist country China?It is better you say Malays will not depend any other races in this world.Malays are superior enthnically while they can do,make and survive on their own.Malays are genius,top specie.Malays have their own belief,religion and Malays are the sons of The God.
I am very doubted why in this world especially to this IT world,this typical and idiotic Malays are still existing here and there!

This TOAD from Perkosa and Mamakutty speak the same RACIST language. They are very cunning to try cheat the people.They like to create racial unrest so they can divide and rule. Everyone know there is such a thing as a NOMINEE meaning I may own the shares of the company in my name but the REAL OWNER is someone else. Many of these companies are owned in Chinese names but the benefit go to the Malay political elites. Why would Mamak be so stupid to give such licenses for free to Vincent Tan and others? Yet they highlight all the chinese ownership to inflame the Malays to feel that the chinese are threatening their rights.
If you don't believe me why Vincent Tan Donated money for the Perak chicken to jump? Because he has to do national service. Afterall Vincent Tan didn't benefit from her jump but who benefitted? Perak UMNO!! So it is very clear Vincent Tan is nominee for who? Ibrahim Toad tak malu-la!!! Hope RPK dig out more shit on you people so you can bury your face in SHIT!!!!

This TOAD is a real hypocrite. He tries to make Malays jealous of Chinese by saying the Chinese will run the country and point out rich chinese tycoon like vincent Tan and Ananda who got the gambling licenses. Why you think Mamak so stupid to give them license without getting anything? It is haram and so license given to non-Malays but I am sure he benefitted too!!! Then he use such examples of rich chinese and play up the Malays jealous feelings when actually he and his cronies get very very FAT. I am sure they use Chinese as fronts or trustees and Mamak & Co are the true beneficiaries.

Ibrahim Toad you and your elite friends use Chinese to get Gaji Buta then make Malays feel chinese are a threat to them. You talk so much and won't even give the 5% due to your own malays in Kelantan who are poor. So fortunately we have people like RPK who expose your shit.

You think you can fool us for 52 years and still carry on doing that? Don't think the Malays are so stupid and gullible like those days when there was no internet and you can feed them all the LIES!!!
Sorry-la nobody believes you anymore or your MSM!! Even the Malays can see through your evil intentions to divide and rule the people and consolidate your power. The only Malays who still support you must be both blind and deaf!!! Babi Neraka!!!!

Might be interesting to find out why he resigned his directorship in Dunham-Bush in 20 March 2004; before the company was taken over by Russians in 2007. Pax.

Our dear PAS leaders, what are you talking about? Ibrahim Ali memang didn't do any work for Vincent Tan lah.
See what Ibrahim Ali will say : " Work? What work? What is work? Since when did I do actual work, like earning my living? That kind of work is for the hardworking people of the street, doing the daily grind. That's why they are called 'hardworking' lah. Me? I am far more superior than them all, because I just get myself in positions to freeload. I am the hardly-working type. I do nothing and get paid big money wor, no good meh? After all, people like me personify the term Gaji Buta mah! "

So you are also interested to take over Genting ? It's a casino and make you a anak haram. Are you sure all the shares held by Ananda belong to him and not a nominee to someone else ? Go and grab your share from umno in Toto and yes this is also a gambling unit that will make you another anak haram.

Berjaya-toto, Maxis, Astro and Genting all rose to the fore due to the help of Mahathir/UMNO.

Now, Mahathir is a patron of Perkasa together with Ibrahim Ali.How can these guys talk about unfair licenses given to the non-malays when it was Mahathir/UMNO which lent those taukes the tongkat in the first place?

Hey Ibrahim, "do businesses" and "work for" are two different things. As far as I am concerned, your presence in Vincent Tan's company is not a 'businesses deal' on your part. Period.

Someone commented Ibrahim Ali became rich because of a contract to build a bridge at an exorbitan price which he subcontracted to a Chinese contractor. Can that someone please name the bridge/contract and the name of the subcontractor? We need to expose all these UMNO crooks who cheat the Malays of their rights whilst claiming to represent them. The Malays are wakening up to this dirty trick. Those who support him are hoping for some easy deals to cheat their countrymen. They are the real traitors to the Malays.

Look at Diam, Mahathir's sons, etc. Vincent Tan and Ananda are proxies for Mahathir. The old fox is very crafty to cover his tracks. Ibrahim Ali was likely put to work under Vincent Tan to look after Mahathir's interests. How else could Vincent Tan and Ananda have got these lucrative deals? The public is not fooled. I would like a gambling licence: why can't I get it?

First he gets to sit on the board of a hugely successful company. BUT wait a minute he gets to be there because of UMNO not because he is smart or anything like that. Its the NEP mah - meaning every listed company must have a UMNOpukimak. That's why NEP has failed the malays because wealth is not distributed to the deserving. It enriches the ungrateful. THEN while he is there he suddenly realises that the people in the company (if they are not UMNOpukimak ) are smarter, more capable, intelligent, high achievers, with excellent track record. He in the meantime is there to goyang kaki- shouts NEP! mana duit saya? Someone posting under the name of "longjaafar' says that when he received a contract to build a bridge in Kelantan years ago, he sold it to a CHINESE CONTRACTOR and pocketed the difference. Now back to the company owned by Vincent Tan, after a while people shunned him, called him a fool, bodoh, malas behind his back. Tak Tahan lah. So to hide his bungling ineptitude he hides behind race and religion and creates trouble. Then He jumped boat to PAS. Tok Guru should have shut the door on him then . Don't you see? Ibrahim Ali and a long list of his ilk are the source of trouble in the country. When the BN was in power all the corruption and abuse are swept under the carp[et. Now that PR is starting to uncover rampant corruption by theese goons, it is no wonder they are hitting back. We should not be surprised that they are bankrupt of ideas in their strategy - race and religion are al they have left in their pack of cards. IN the first place they are not people with substance. My favouritie phrase this month - The TRUTH WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL.
