As promised, Malaysia Today is going to publish a series of reports backed by official documents to prove that there is more than meets the eye in how the Ministry of Defence under Najib Tun Razak spent the taxpayers’ money. All these incidences involved blatant abuse of power and violation of procedures. Today is the first in a series of exposes.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Since 1988, the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) used to train its personnel in Korat, Thailand, at a cost of RM2 million per year.

In 2007, the then Deputy Prime Minister approved the leasing of the Aircraft Combat Manoeuvring Instrument (ACMI) from a Malaysian company at a cost of RM21 million per year -- more than ten times what the RMAF was paying to train its personnel in Thailand. The leasing was for 15 years. 

The contract was based on ‘negotiated without tender’ and the company had no prior experience in the business. The negotiated contract was not conducted through the normal procedure nor was it approved through the proper channels. Yet the current Prime Minister approved the contract in violation of procedure and what could be classified as abuse of power.

Malaysia Today kicks off this expose with the documents below. More on this matter will be revealed as we go along to show the many blatant incidences of abuse of power and violation of procedure perpetuated by the Ministry of Defence under Najib Tun Razak.

don't they reliase that this is their country too ? these people are suppose to be in a position where their duty is to protect the country, not in a position to steal from the country. when they "rob" the country this way, isn't it same as robbing from their family, relatives and friends. does their religion allow & approved them to do such ? i always thought military people are very discipline and are train with high self-control...

It's no use. Despite all the exposes, all the blatant abuses of power, open daylight robbery and corruption, the earthprince rakyat will continue to throw their support behind UMNO. To the extent even if some senior leaders were to order a murder to be committed, he will still be supported for higher leadership role.

The earthprince people have been brainwashed and hypnotised to such an extent that they can only see UMNO as their saviour and protector.

This is not all. I suspect TNB of raking in money from govt coffers. Those who enjoyed free electricity last year because they used less than RM20 per month. Check your electricity bill - especially those computer generated from TNB office and not by the meter reader.

If the amount of electricity you use costs RM12.53 (say), The bill shows that the govt pays RM125.3 to subsidise you!!!

The way the billing is done is quite confusing and I am not exactly good in accounts. Can someone double check please? A friend asked me about his bill but I was unable to explain it properly to him.

Beranikah Utusan Malaysia mengambil pendedahan artikel ini di muka halaman suratkhabar mereka sebagai satu berita yang sensasi lengkap dengan dokumen sebagai bukti untuk tatapan pembaca mereka yang setia ? Siapa yang pengecut ? Raja Petra Kamarudin atau pengarang Utusan Melaysia ?

MT readers, the trouble with UTUSAN gundus is that they do not realise that they are shouting from a sinking ship. The self importance and misplaced self righteousness is just riduculous. But I hear there will be mass resignations from their ranks soon. The younger rank and file are getting disillusioned. They know what they are doing is wrong.

Well, As I See It, all this kind of proposal was done with inside information and a form of corruption leading to the real corruption of money matters.

However, many of the people are with "BLINKERS " and would just brush it off as something unimportant.
These type of letters I have seen too often enough from our state government where my friends were
'in cahoots' with the MBs since Mike Tyson was around until the Java Toyol's time. WE KNOW!, WE KNOW!

Those assemblymen I can remember clearly working hand in hand with the cina-kuis from MCA is one Semanta fella which I need not mention his name lah! People are sleeping and the MCA chow-kows with their UM-NO BRAINERS master even robbed the cina-kuis of the Buddhist burial grounds in Shah Alam and 'sold' off to Nirvana (NV Multi).

Oh yeah, and that bastard MCA cina-kui is a Christian, so does not give a damn shit if you are a Buddhist.
The crux of the matter is I think the Hindu burial plot has also been HIJACKED! I have asked sent e-mails on this matter to Teng Chang Kim and LKS but perhaps the e-mail is full of crap that they cannot see this matter on hand. Well, how? BN is full shit corruption!

This is getting more interesting... Better than watching "friends"... And more "suspen" than watching CSI...

But... I'm expecting the below to happen:

I'm too busy to entertain all these fitnah. I have more important task to perform, like promoting 1 malaysia (with his finger crossed at the back)... All these are attempts by some party to create disunity... To create distrust over the government... We have gone through the process through proper procedures... These are lies...

And he again forbid any press from asking those questions anymore... While at the same time just shove it off without supporting proofs...

And the police and MACC will still remain deft over it.

End of story. And they continue BELIEVING and HALLUCINATING that everything is perfectly beautiful... And they also want us to imagine that...

Will our nightmare never end? It seems to be a 'free-for-all' as BN/UMNO goes on a pepetual looting spree. Why are the police, MACC, judiciary, royalty, the PM and Cabinet all quiet? Why are the UMNO members and Buntutsan newspaper quiet too..this is THEFT of the nation's coffers.
For those who have not registered to vote, please do so now and get everyone you come in contact with to do so too. Our $$ is shrinking in value each time such thievery happens. As a result, they make our cost of living outspace our salaries and impacts our standard of living.

Dear RPK,
1. There is another case that PM approved a tube well maintenance service contract for Sarawak and Sabah as direct negotiation to Azair, Bank Negara Governor family company. There are companies want to participate tender process for the maintenance contract with competitive price and additional services, however decline by MOF.
2. PM approve the contract without technical input from MOE and MOF
3. The approval is given directly to Governor without proper process
4. Once approval obtained, Governor family member submit the approval directly to MOF Secretary General without the knowledge of MOF procurement division.
5. MOF Secretary General instruct Azair to proceed with the maintenance service without LA from MOE.
6. Azair carry out the maintenance service since Nov09 till now... eventhough there is no LA from MOE yet.

After that, Malaysia should bury the ISA together with BN 6 feet underground.

Dear all citizens of Bolehland,

This is what you get when you have a crook being a leader of Bolehland.

If you sum up the total amount from the defunct Offshore Petrol Vessel (OPV) project in Lumut, the purchase of Sukhoi, the Phantom Skyhawks that was purchased and paid but remains in the Nevada dessert, the scandalous Scorpane submarine, the UK battle ships paid 50% above what others are paying, the Eurocopter (yes. . ., the deal is still on) and now this Aircraft Combat Manouvering Instrument. . ., we will find that these hundreds of billions of RM of the tax-payers money had been channeled to crony companies (and of course these ill-gotten loots are shared with the thief(ves) that gave the cronies the fat contracts).

Isn’t all these sickening. . ., it makes your stomach summersault like the Phantom Skyhawk in a storm sky every time you think how those thieves had stolen your money and getting away with it! Bloody. . .shit!

In Red China, an embezzlement or corruption for a mere USD1,000 would have the culprit shot at the back of the head. In Bolehland, the culprit will be put on the pedestal to rule the country. . . .!

Still want to vote this regime?. . ., wise up please!

My dear Raja Petra, you never failed to amaze me with the abundance of documents to expose the irregularities practised by the goons. I guess you would never stop trying to right the wrong till the culprits are rounded up to confront head-on with their due punishment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you are trying to do to defend all Malaysians. May God bless you always and guide you against the demons in disguise.

Please, take all precaution and stay safe. You are always in my prayers.....My love to you and family.
