Umno’s hands in every pie
Today, Abdul Rahman Maidin revealed in the High Court (see here) that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad told him that Realmild Sdn Bhd, the shadowy company behind conglomerate Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB), belongs to Umno. Now, Tajuddin Ramli also admits that he was merely the front for Umno to plunder Malaysian Airlines (MAS).
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
In the last two weeks, Malaysia Today revealed how Tajudin Ramli plundered MAS with impunity. Malaysia Today also showed that Ramli Yusuff, the Director of the Commercial Crimes Investigations Department (CCID) of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), and lawyer Rosli Dahlan, paid a heavy price for pursuing Tajudin Ramli.
Both ended up being hauled into court against trumped-up charges. While Tajudin remained free and still extremely wealthy, Ramli lost his job and his shot at being the next IGP while Rosli lost his clients.
Malaysia Today also showed how Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi closed his eyes to the pillaging by Tajudin mainly because Abdullah himself had also used his position as Deputy Prime Minister to secure the MAS Catering privatisation contracts for his own family.
Now we are going to reveal why Tajudin was so bold and could practically get away with murder.
Tajuddin’s perceived success as a bumiputra businessman goes beyond just the New Economic Policy’s affirmative action. It went to the extent that he would be given immunity from the crimes he committed.
This is not what Malaysia Today says. This is what Tajuddin himself says in his affidavit -- see paragraph 6, 7(c), 12 and 13 of Tajudin’s affidavit below.
Tajudin was so audacious as to claim that he had immunity under the Public Authorities Protection Act. Mahathir, therefore, can’t deny that he asked Tajuddin to plunder MAS.
You will recall that Ramli Yusuff, in his letter to Prime Minister Abdullah, had recommended that Tajudin be prosecuted for various offences. This is based on Tajudin’s own claims that he was a government agent and was merely discharging his “public duties” when he plundered MAS.
This means Tajudin can be charged under both the old Anti Corruption Act as well as the new MACC Act for using his office to gratify his family.
For that matter, Prime Minister Abdullah can also be charged under that same provisions of the law.
Now, if Malaysia Today can figure all this out, surely it is not too difficult for MACC to pick it up from here and start prosecuting the real crooks.
You can read what the Act says below.
ANTI-CORRUPTION ACT 1997

And oh yes, while some of this plundered money goes to UMNO, guess where the rest of the money gets detoured to? Yes, nice private schools in the UK, multimillion dollar bungalows in Malaysia and UK, million dollar Mercedes CLKs and SUVs, private jets, harem of toygirls and toyboys and pocket money to throw at Harrods, Cartier, LV, Hermes, Chanel etc. Yes, these UMNOputras are really the actual Raja Raja Melayu.
So the licenses, closed tenders must stay to keep this lifestyle. So this means NEP must, absolutely must stay. Otherwise the Kris comes off the flag......

Another magnificient revelation and thank you for "Opening the Pandora's Box"
Maybe Madey was influenced by Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild & the Saudi Prince...
The Rayaat are "Sheeples" & many are still not awake yet....
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
"If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it..
And if it stops moving, subsidize it" - Ronald Reagan
“The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class...
While, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests” - Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild

For Reflection
We must ALL decide NOW and not a day longer,
the future WE WANT for OUR Children & Grandchildren...
Or Else....
OTHERS will DECIDE for US and TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS.
Then WE will have no one to BLAME but OURSELVES,
for remaining SILENT when we still have the OPTION to do so NOW...

Cafe Barbera has an Italian pedigree which goes back five generations to 1870. It's there on Lorong Maarof, Kuala Lumpur, housed in a single-storey bungalow with a striking Italian-villa-façade.........Operating quietly since about a month ago, the volume was stepped up when Tun Jean Abdullah, wife of former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, officially opened the Café on Feb 23. For many of the invitees, numbering about 100, ...............It was "instinct" that brought this Italian coffee to our shores. Dr Enrico, a fifth generation Barbera, met the local franchisee Datuk Ibrahim Badawi, brother of former PM, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi at a food festival in Bangkok................"I came here to be sure because the franchise agreement is long-term (10+10 years)," added Barbera. "No, Ibrahim didn’t drop names in our first meetings and it is only now that I know what Datuk means." ................he said that there were plans for three more outlets with high exposure — possibly at the KLIA airport to begin with. Singapore and Indonesia are slotted for regional presence..

PROBABLY AFTER HIS DEATH, HE WILL CONTINUE EITHER AS A ZOMBIE, TOYOL OR DRACULA TO CONTINUE HIS CROOKED WAYS OR VIA HIS OFFSPRING. SO MUCH FOR KETUANAN WHICH IS ACTUALLY BUT THE MALAYS' AUTHORIZATION FOR THIS CROOK TO SCREW THEM ALL. BET HE WILL BE HAVING ANOTHER SENILE SPELL SOON.

So he passed on the baton to the Holy Sleepy Devil to take care of his back--- and what did Sleepy Head do?? --- he got greedy !! He started looting while he prayed and ran behind his maid before it was one year since his First wife passed over. He had specifically mentioned he couldn't count so his choice of Religious Studies over Economics. Could some government ""nominee /agent ""(civil servant) from Putrajaya tell me what this Bodohwi advised MAS about??? -------to pray before every takeoff??? And he was the same scum who was talking with authority about new and old"" fermented"" DNA??? He sure is an IceMan!!-------

Same thing with TR, no business acumen other than stealing. In Cambodia, this thief started a cellular phone company without doing market research. He assumes the consumer behavior in Cambodia is the same as in Malaysia. In Malaysia, we do have post paid consumer who uses the phone services and at the end of the month the post-paid consumer paid the phone company when they received the bills. In Cambodia, it doesn't work that way. If you operate postpaid system in Cambodia, your phone company will be doomed. This was what TR did, operating post paid cellular phone service without doing consumer behavior research. Eventually they end up saddled with bad debts amounting to millions of USdollars. On top of that, this no-business acumen thief dumped obsolete analog equipment on the Cambodian project when other companies are already moving into digital equipment. So much for the UMNO proxy in which their spin media always touted him as the "Technology savvy" bumiputra businessman image.
Later, Mobitel (UK) and Takshin (Thai) came in and ventured in the cellular phone industry too in Cambodia. But they are smart businessman compared to the UMNO proxy businessman. Having learnt the Cambodian consumer purchasing behavior both the companies uses the pre-paid system. You pay first before using their services.
To cut the story short, the TR company's venture "bungkus" in less than 5 years while the UK and Thai company thrives and are doing well with their investment.
I can tell you till tomorrow morning many more stories about the thieving UMNO proxies at the helm of GLCs and listed companies who knows nothing about business other than looting. Why they are able to hold on to their positions for quite sometimes is that all mega-projects are given to them on a golden platter without bidding. And these mega-projects take years to complete (or un-complete). But in the end, the golden platter projects and/or the companies are all being screwed up by them; MAS, Sime Darby, Naval Dockyard/PSC, Renong, PKFZ, etc, etc.. . ., malas nak cakap lagi
By the way, why is Azim Zabidi, the Chairman of Kuala Dimensi not being investigated for the other mega-looting PKFZ scandal. Is it because he is an UMNO proxy? Your guess are as good as mine. . .!
Again, malas nak cakap!

Such mammoth corruption crimes should shake the umnoputras into reality to see that they hv been cheated, robbed and lied to by their leader - NO? They shd hv the thinking "my money has been plundered!" and demand answers from the umno leaders, right?
Wrong! Those umnoputras arent doing anything to correct the disease, in the party and esp in the leadership. They are probably waiting by the side-lines and waiting for their turn to plunder ......!!!???
Thats why the umnoputras are still supporting the NEP, racism + ketuan this+that.
Why else are they caling Nurul Izzah a traitor?

Malaysian is different kettle of fish from advanced country norm. Boy, how much more do we have to "split our guts to get the mob overthrown? Do we have to beat ourselves to death before the masses will rise in unison? Do we have to sell our nation soul to get there?
It is mainly the malay who can answer that? If they answer in the negative, the Malay masses deserve to the lousy crumbs for the rest of their lives and condemn their children and grand children to abject poverty. The chinese will be mostly gone, not because they are told to leave because they CHOOSE to leave en masse.

Many ordinary man & woman on the street does not know what IPP stands for. I would say, at most, only 5 % of the general populace knows IPP stands for Independent Power Producers and what they actually do. You now witness Tanjung being taken private - its power division is reaping in big money, since it enjoys subsidised gas while selling all its electricity to TNB at a fantastic rate. Of course, the suckers enriching these billionaire cronies are the rakyat who consumed electricity. Ditto you bn voters. Especially you bn voters. The govt you voted in continuously for decades, gives huge subsidies in gas prices to BILLIONAIRES. If you read this and still don't comprehend, I suggest you better get your heads examined!

equates to umnos' legs in every pile
There goes umno leaders, the great give-away of their spewing racism and ketuanan Melayu, NEP to "please and dub the Malays" and followed by their incest and congenital defect racist birth child named PERKOSA to continue to raise the keris of racism to blind the eyes of the unsuspecting Malays easily fall prey and would believe just by listening to the liars and plunderers who are actually carting away the nation's wealth through the back door (the like and proof of what happened to MAS with similar modus operandi within other GLCs....read : what is the initial purpose of Khazanah?) and they blatantly dub the poor majority by blaming the Nons who actually works hard without the NEP and contribute to the country's wealth and social welfare through the taxes. Who stole the money? The majority poor especially Malay must know and learn to change their dubbed mindset(BTNs) and build up the country with the knowledge of the causes of what actually happened to the wealth which is being plundered away by these same keris brandishing leaders who shouted ketuanan Melayu and NEP to stay.
Who is not changing what is happening to Malaysia. You have the knowledge of who is responsible of the missing wealth yet choose to buy lies from plunderers who are actual traitors to the country? Are we not steadfast and forward thinking and allow ourselves to be buggered by those who blatantly stole from us and blame others and play racism like you would believe as the gospel truth that the are the savior and champion of race and wealth(loss and lost)?
The truth is not just out there and just when many(who are these many people?!) have always been thinking that the man who puts Malaysia on the world map is the champion of the race who made himself as of them(self-denial), he is but a great plunderer as with many among his peers. I am ashamed of what our Big(Maha in Sanskrit) Bluff leader and the rest that sailed in that same political boat of government with him but thieves - Sungguh Memalukan!
To be more than precise....kepimpinan yang mengAIBkan!
All I can say is the majority who are Malay and are poor must know not only what but when it should end - Be End. It's sickening if you choose to prefer to be sickened when you already know what the country needs to do is to change yet continue to vote for a Abusive leaders to be a government. VOTE FOR CHANGE.
The Pandora Box about the Pretentious Thieves Are Already Opened and Now YOU, YOU, YOU and YOU know who are the Traitors, still want them to bugger YOU?
