Posted by Kit in Election, Parliament on Tuesday, 13 March 2018, 7:08 pm
The Cabinet at its weekly meeting tomorrow should decide that the Prime Minister should not table the Election Commission’s unconstitutional Constituency Redelineation Report in Parliament or ask for a vote until the outcome of judicial challenges that Election Commission had not fully complied with constitutional requirements.
This follows the announcement by Bersih Acting Chairman Shahrul Aman Mohd Saari that several voters in Selangor who were denied the right to be heard by the Election Commission during the second public enquiry had filed actions in court.

Why is Najib keeping silent and not instituting defamation proceedings although he had been publicly called a “thief” by two international media, the Economist and MSNBC, within two days?
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Najib Razak on Tuesday, 13 March 2018, 12:40 pm
In the first time in 61 years of the nation’s history, the Prime Minister of the country has been publicly been called a “thief”, not once, but twice within two days, by two international media organisations on completely different issues.
One was the international weekly magazine, the Economist which on 8th March, 2018, carried an article titled “Stop, thief! Malaysia’s PM is about to steal an election”.
The report alleged that Datuk Seri Najib Razak feared that most voters would not vote BN to power again if given a choice, and is “taking their choice away” by means of gerrymandering and malapportionment, among other tactics.
It cited the 1MDB scandal, in which US authorities say billions of ringgit have been misused, as the main point of argument. Read the rest of this entry »
Challenge to IGP Fuzi to quote chapter and verse from the PAC Report on 1MDB which states that there is ‘nothing to link Jho Low with 1MDB” or that Najib had not committed any crime in the 1MDB scandal!
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Police on Monday, 12 March 2018, 11:46 am
For the past five days, informed and concerned Malaysians must have felt very uneasy and uncomfortable, as if a bone is stuck in the throat, with the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun’s ridiculous statement that there is “nothing to link Jho Low with 1MDB”?
I challenge Fuzi to quote chapter and verse from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Report on 1MDB, submitted to Parliament in April 2016 which states that there is “nothing to link Jho Low with 1MDB” or that Najib had not committed any crime in the 1MDB scandal.
This is because Fuzi had used the PAC report to reinforce his contention that there is nothing to link Jho Low with 1MDB” and the PAC Report has been used by those in power to cover a multitude of sins in the world’s worst kleptoracy, claiming that the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak had not commited any crime in the 1MDB scandal.
I stand corrected, but as far as I can remember, there is no mention of Jho Low whatsoever in the PAC Report. Just compare the PAC Report with the 251-page 958-paragraph United States Department of Justice’s (DoJ) kleptocratic litigation under the US Kleptocratic Assets Recovery Initiative 2000 on the US4.5 billion 1MDB funds stolen and money-laundered in various countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Singapore, which is studded with references to Jho Low all over the litigation.
Such a comparison will highlight why the PAC Report is a faulty document. The whole world knows about the linkage between Jho Loh and 1MDB – in fact we can state without fear of contradiction that without Jho Loh, there would be no 1MDB. Read the rest of this entry »
Call on Penang to be the “fixed deposit” state in the Save Malaysia campaign to ensure Pakatan Harapan wins Putrajaya not only in 14GE but becomes the government for the next 10 to 20 years
Posted by Kit in Pakatan Harapan, Penang on Monday, 12 March 2018, 10:55 am
We gather tonight to celebrate the tenth anniversary of a great political change in the “308” 2008 General Election – when a DAP-led coalition toppled the Barisan Nasional in Penang and went to make Penang a model state for good governance.
But we have two other objectives tonight:
Firstly, to enlarge this political change to the national landscape and declare Pakatan Harapan’s readiness to replace UMNO/Barisan Nasional in Putrajaya in the imminent 14th General Election and form the new Federal Government, which will the first change of Federal Government in the nation’s history since Merdeka in 1957; and
Secondly, to clearly and unequivocally our preparedness to be the Malaysian national government, not just for one term after the 14th General Election, but for many terms in the subsequent general elections. Read the rest of this entry »
Pakatan Harapan wants to change the national landscape not only in the next five years but the next 10 to 20 years
Posted by Kit in Election, Elections, nation building, Penang on Sunday, 11 March 2018, 7:34 pm
Today’s launch of the DAP Penang Ubah fleet of 113 vehicles for the Pakatan Harapan 14th General Election machinery sounds the bugle of battle for the 14GE – not a war of cannons, guns or knives but a battle to win the hearts and minds of Malaysians to exercise their peaceful, democratic and Constitutional right to decide the next Federal Government through the ballot box.
I remember that when I first contested in Tanjong parliamentary constituency 32 years ago in 1986, it was to make the Penang the beach-head for a national campaign to make Malaysia an united, democratic, just, progressive and prosperous nation which would be a model to the world of how a nation of diverse races, languages and cultures could unite, succeed and prosper.

I have emailed Swiss MPs asking them to support the motion in Swiss Parliament to repatriate RM430 million 1MDB-related funds confiscated from Swiss banks because of corruption to Malaysia to benefit Malaysians harmed by the 1MDB scandal
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Parliament on Sunday, 11 March 2018, 3:00 pm
I have emailed Swiss Members of Parliament asking them to support the motion in Swiss Parliament to repatriate RM430 million 1MDB-related funds confiscated from Swiss banks because of money-laundering and other corrupt practices to Malaysia so as to benefit Malaysians harmed by the international mega 1MDB financial scandal.
The Swiss Parliament is to debate a motion on Tuesday calling for the repatriation of confiscated corruption funds, including the CHF104 million (RM430 million) allegedly stolen and money-laundered from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
Lawmakers at the national council, the lower house of the Swiss federal assembly, are expected to vote on the matter on Thursday. Read the rest of this entry »
IGP Fuzi had done in six months what his predecessor Khalid Abu Bakar dared not do in five years as IGP – exonerating Jho Low in the 1MDB scandal
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Police on Sunday, 11 March 2018, 12:01 pm
The Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun has done in six months as the top cop in the country what his predecessor Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar had not done in his five years as IGP – exonerating Jho Low in the 1MDB sc scandal.
Why Khalid dare not say in his five years from 2012-2017 as IGP (during the “happening” years of 1MDB scandal) what Fuzi said last Wednesday that there is “nothing to link Joh Low with 1MDB”?
Does Fuzi needs a re-education on the 1MDB scandal and Jho Low’s role in it, which has resulted in 3Is for Malaysia – infamy, ignominy and iniquity as a global kleptocracy? Read the rest of this entry »
Najib should return the Constituency Redelineation Report to the Election Commission for it to rectify failure to fully comply with constitutional requirements and due process
Posted by Kit in Election, Parliament on Sunday, 11 March 2018, 8:43 am
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak should return the Constituency Redelineation Report submitted to him by the Election Commission on Friday for the Election Commission to rectify failure to fully comply with constitutional requirements and due process.
The Election Commission has been accused of cheating in the redelineation exercise and failure to comply with the various constitutional requirements when conducting review of the delimitation of constituencies.
The Prime Minister must be mindful of international opinion which are most wary about attempts to cheat and steal the 14th General Election to be held shortly. Read the rest of this entry »
Why did IGP go out of a limb to make the ridiculous statement that there is “nothing to link Jho Low with 1MDB”?
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals, Police on Saturday, 10 March 2018, 4:13 pm
For the past three days, informed and concerned Malaysians must have felt very uneasy and uncomfortable, as if a bone is stuck in the throat, asking why the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun, had gone out of a limb to make the ridiculous statement that there is “nothing to link Jho Low with 1MDB”?
The whole world knows that if there is no Jho Low, there is no 1MDB.
How had the Malaysian Police, which had quite an international reputation for its professionalism, sunk so low as to come to such a conclusion which has made the Malaysian police the laughing stock of its police peers in the world and the butt of jokes of the international community?

Will Parliament be dissolved in the third week of March and PPBM deregistered before Nomination Day of 14GE?
Political news jostled for attention in the past few days but two items won hands down last night, raising two questions: Will Parliament be dissolved in the third week of March and will Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) of Tun Mahathir Mohamad and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin be deregistered before Nomination Day so that it could not use its party symbol in the 14th General Election?
This follows two news reports: One that the Election Commission has submitted its final report on the redelineation of electoral constituencies for parliamentary and state constituencies to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
This means that a motion of the Prime Minister on the redelineation of constituencies is likely to be placed on the parliamentary order paper next week, which could be adopted as early as the Monday of the third week of March, ie. March 18. Read the rest of this entry »
Ministers who agree with Nazri and find it easy to defend Najib on the 1MDB scandal because Najib is innocent of all allegations made against him please put up your hand!
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Financial Scandals on Friday, 9 March 2018, 5:36 pm
The Minister for Tourism and Culture, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz is the latest addition to the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s growing band of 1MDB court jesters.
Nazri made quite a fantastic statement in his exclusive interview with Malaysiakini, declaring that it is not difficult to defend his “boss”, as Najib is innocent of all the allegations against him with regard to the 1MDB scandal.
I get the impression that Nazri is the only Minister who feels that it is easy to defend the Prime Minister over the 1MDB scandal on the ground the Najib is innocent of all the allegations against him.
We have had a Minister, one who had been named Cabinet spokesman for 1MDB in 2015, who fell ill because of the mental agony he had to go through to defend the 1MDB scandal. Read the rest of this entry »
Best way to remember Sanusi is to fulfill his dream for a change of government in Putrajaya in the 14GE
Posted by Kit in nation building on Friday, 9 March 2018, 1:10 pm
It is sad to receive news of Sanusi Junid’s passing this morning.
He himself said he was living on “borrowed time” and his attendance of the launch of Pakatan Harapan’s Manifesto for the 14th General Election in Shah Alam last night showed the significant progress achieved to realise his last dream of his “borrowed time” – to save Malaysia from the trajectory of a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state and to re-set nation building policies and directions to make Malaysia a success story and a world-class nation.
The best way to remember Sanusi is to fulfil his dream for a change of government in Putrajay in the 14th General Elections. Read the rest of this entry »
1MDB scandal should be on agenda of ASEAN Summit in Sydney next weekend to discuss how 30 million Malaysians could get justice from the world’s worst kleptocracy
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Financial Scandals on Friday, 9 March 2018, 11:44 am
Yesterday, the world learn about the banker son of Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Alex, becoming one of scores of international victims of 1MDB scandal.
But even more important than the international victims of the 1MDB scandal, which are not confined to individuals but also banks and financial companies – are the 30 million Malaysians who are directly the victims of the 1MDB scandal.
What is being done to give justice to the 30 million Malaysians?
Alex was sidelined from his executive position at Goldman Sachs after acting as a whistle-blower on allegedly shady deals involving billions between the global investment bank and the Malaysian state investor, 1MDB.
In 2012 and 2013, while Alex was working at Goldman Sachs in Singapore, the bank raised US$6 billion (RM24 billion) in bonds for 1MDB, in deals organised by senior banker Tim Leissner.
The bank earned US$590 million in fees and commissions from the 1MDB deal. Read the rest of this entry »
Let 308 double anniversary foreshadow first change of Federal Government in Malaysia in 14GE as among other things, I believe there will be more women Ministers in the first Pakatan Harapan Cabinet
Posted by Kit in nation building, women on Thursday, 8 March 2018, 4:02 pm
Today is a double anniversary for 8th March – International Women’s Day as well as the tenth anniversary of the urban political tsunami of the 12th General Election exactly 10 years ago.
Let the 308 double anniversary foreshadow the first change of Federal Government in Malaysia in the 14th General Election expected to be held in less than 70 days before mid-May, where Malaysia starts the journey on the world stage to become a normal democracy where voters can peacefully and democratically elect the Federal Government of their choice through the ballot box in a general election without any man-made chaos or catastrophe.
Let us enlarge the urban political tsunami ten years ago into a national political tsunami, encompassing rural political tsunami, where all Malaysians regardless of race, religion or region unite as Malaysians to re-set Malaysian nation-building direction and policies where all Malaysians can feel proud as Malaysians because the country becomes a show-case unity, harmony, justice, development and prosperity of a plural society to a troubled world instead of hurtling along the present trajectory towards a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state after six decades of nationhood.

Is it possible for a top public servant to destroy his public standing and repute, even his professionalism, with one act or statement?
Yes, and the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun, has furnished such an example with his statement last night that “nothing to link Jho Low with IMDB”, which made him the laughing stock of his police peers in the world and Malaysia the laughing stock of the international community.

Why are Malaysian government leaders, including a Minister, a Deputy Minister and a MP rushing to defend Jho Low and his billion-ringgit superyacht seized in Indonesia last Wednesday when the international noose around the neck of 1MDB scandal getting tighter?
Posted by Kit in Financial Scandals on Wednesday, 7 March 2018, 6:00 pm
Six days ago, the Wall Street Journal reported that a top Republican fundraiser close to President Donald Trump had asked as much as US$75 million (RM295 million) from Jho Low to get the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) to stop investigating the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
The US business daily broke the news by reviewing a cache of emails from Elliott Broidy, a venture capitalist and a long-time Republican donor, and his wife, Robin Rosenzweig, a lawyer.
“The messages include draft agreements between Ms Rosenzweig’s California law firm and representatives of Mr Low about the possible terms of their business engagement. In one draft, there is a proposal that includes a US$75 million fee if the Justice Department quickly drops its investigation,” the daily said in an online report.
Yesterday, we learnt that Red Granite Pictures, the company that which produced “The Wolf of Wall Street”, had agreed to pay US$60mil (RM234mil) to the US government in order to resolve allegations that it profited from the 1MDB scandal. Read the rest of this entry »
Warning to Communications and Multimedia Deputy Minister Jailani, UMNO/BN fake papers and “quinoa cybertroopers” not to play with fire by spreading fake news that I have criticised and attacked the Yang di Pertuan Agong
Posted by Kit in Fake News, Parliament on Wednesday, 7 March 2018, 2:05 pm
I want to give a warning to the Communications and Multimedia Deputy Minister, Datuk Seri Jailani Johari, the UMNO/BN fake papers like Berita Harian and New Straits Times and the army of UMNO/BN “quinoa cybertroopers” not to play with fire and spread false news that I have criticised and attacked the Yang di Pertuan Agong.
I understand that such fake news that I have criticised and attacked the Yang di Pertuan Agong had gone viral this morning.
It all started with the “fake news” published by today’s Berita Harian in the report ‘Kit Siang bersikap biadap, perlekeh titah Agong’, which among other things said:
“KUALA LUMPUR: Ketua Parlimen DAP, Lim Kit Siang, disifatkan sebagai biadab, kerana mengeluarkan kenyataan yang memperlekeh dan menghina titah Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Muhammad V.
“Ia susulan kenyataan Kit Siang ketika sidang media di Parlimen hari ini, yang menyifatkan titah Seri Paduka pada pembukaan Mesyuarat Pertama Penggal Keenam Sidang Parlimen Ke-13 semalam, sebagai ucapan dasar kerajaan pimpinan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
“Malah, Kit Siang yang juga Ahli Parlimen Gelang Patah, secara terbuka menyatakan beliau kecewa dengan titah Yang di-Pertuan Agong itu.
“Timbalan Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia yang juga Ahli Parlimen Hulu Terengganu, Datuk Seri Jailani Johari, menyifatkan kenyataan Kit Siang itu menunjukkan sikapnya yang biadab serta tidak menghormati Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan institusi Diraja.”
Malaysian Parliament confirmed as Parliament of a global kleptocracy as Parliament not prepared to do anything to challenge, purge and cleanse Malaysia of the ignominy, infamy and iniquity of a global kleptocracy
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Financial Scandals, Parliament on Wednesday, 7 March 2018, 12:11 pm
The first working sitting of the sixth meeting of the 13th Parliament has confirmed that the Malaysian Parliament has become a Parliament of a global kleptocracy as Parliament is not prepared to do anything to challenge, purge and cleanse Malaysia of the ignominy, infamy and iniquity of a global kleptocracy for over three years.
Coming at a time when the 1MDB scandal had been delivering bad news by the lorrylooads to Malaysia’s repute and standing, the failure of the Malaysian Parliament to protect the reputation of Malaysia and rebut without equivocation the epithet of Malaysia as a global kleptocracy will go down in history as the most shameful episode of Malaysian Parliament since Merdeka in 1957.

Is Wee Ka Siong’s efforts to distract attention from 1MDB scandal and Malaysia as a global kleptocracy by attacking Penang undersea tunnel project and tarnish Lim Guan Eng’s image a quid pro quo for UMNO helping the three top MCA leaders to get elected into Parliament on UMNO’s Malay votes?
MCA Deputy President Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong has suddenly put on the garb as an anti-corruption crusader although neither Wee nor any MCA Minister, Member of Parliament or leader had done or said anything to check the downward slide of Malaysia on the annual Transparency International (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) in the past two decades.
Both Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, the MCA President, and Wee Ka, the MCA Deputy President, had been in Parliament and Cabinet for the last two decades, when Malaysia’s TI CPI plunged from 32ndranking in 1999 (when Liow was first elected to Parliament) to No. 39 in 2004 (when Wee was first elected to Parliament), and today, to the lowest TI CPI ranking of all – No. 62 out of 180 countries in the latest TI CPI 2017!
But both Liow and Wee’s records in the past two decades in the fight against corruption and abuses of power were a total blank sheet!
But in the past month, Wee had put on the garb of an anti-corruption crusader, although he dared not breathe a word about international multi-billion dollar 1MDB money-laundering scandal and Malaysia’s world-wide infamy, ignominy and iniquity of being regarded world-wide as a global kleptocracy!
