TAIB NAMED IN UK PARLIAMENT

. Sarawak Report

The UK Parliament’s Upper Chamber

Knowledge and concern about the timber corruption associated with Sarawak’s Chief Minister is now spreading to the UK.

Last week his name was raised in the UK Parliament’s upper chamber, The House of Lords, after a question had been asked of the Government to give an assessment of the impact of logging on indigenous people, plants and animal life.  Present to answer the question was one of the Government Ministers from the Department for International Development (DFID), Baroness Verma.

Only the rakyat can abolish Najib, Taib and the ISA

The best way of establishing political stability in Malaysia is for the rakyat to establish insecurity among our politicians.

If the politicians, either from the decaying Barisan Nasional (BN) or the fledgling Pakatan Rakyat (PR), feel insecure in their jobs, they will inevitably perform better, and will respond openly to what the people need.

A large part of Malaysia’s dismal political corruption and ennui is a result of BN’s 54 years in government in Malaya, and 48 in Sarawak and Sabah.

Half a century! This is the longest uninterrupted rule by any political party anywhere in the history of the entire world, since elections were recorded. There’s one for the Malaysian book of records.

Canadian government aware of Malaysian money-laundering allegations

Prime Minister Stephen Harper alerted over massive Taib family-linked property holdings in Ottawa – Canadian police commends the Bruno Manser Fund but refuses to  confirm or deny a criminal investigation

(OTTAWA, CANADA) Only days after the German government announced a money-laundering investigation into Deutsche Bank over its close ties with the Malaysian Taib family, Sarawak potentate Abdul Taib Mahmud (“Taib”) might be facing difficulties from yet another Western government.

In July 2011, the Swiss Bruno Manser Fund alerted the Canadian government about suspected money laundering activities of the Taib-family-founded Sakto Corporation, an Ottawa-based property developer. Sakto owns and administers properties in Ottawa, Ontario, estimated to be worth well over 100 million US dollars. Sakto is also the center of a Taib family-linked property empire with significant holdings in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia.
