Taib Mahmud and another RM90 bil story of wealth plundered

Alan Newman

LETTER In some 45 years Sarawak's Taib Mahmud, his Uncle Yakub before him, their relatives, cronies, associates, timber tycoons, oil palm magnates, shipping, realty and construction moguls, etc, etc, have allegedly directly or indirectly stolen from Sarawak (including tax evasions) an astronomical amount:

Based on RM$2billion a year x 45 years equates to RM$90 billion = RM$90,000 million = RM$90,000,000,000.


To Everyone in Malaysia,

Speaking as a neutral, 3rd party observer, and hailing from NZ (voted as No. 1 in the world for non-corruption), please make all your loved ones, friends, associates, neighbours, countrymen realise this:

In some 45 years Sarawak's Taib Mahmud, his Uncle Yakub before him, their relatives, cronies, associates, timber tycoons, oil palm magnates, shipping, realty and construction moguls, etc, etc, have allegedly directly or indirectly stolen from Sarawak (including tax evasions) an astronomical amount:

Based on RM$2billion a year x 45 years equates to RM$90 billion = RM$90,000 million = RM$90,000,000,000.

Enough to build electric train lines, super highways, hundreds of schools, hospitals, several universities, multifarious amenities and bring tremendous development and wealth for the people.

In returrn for being elected, Taib deceived the people for 30 year, and yet he still stands proud and shouts today, without the slightest trace of conscience, morality or sense of shame.

Yet people in the street are heard saying: "Of course vote for the Gov't, they have money for development, Opposition - no money." Oh My God! Look at your DAP Party taking the CM post and government in Penang!

All must wake up and act NOW, not tomorrow!

For a start, team up and bring a Class Action Lawsuit (concerted legal action) against your MACC (Anti Corruption Agency).

Then press for Taib to be arrested immediately. If necessary,start street protests, state-wide work-stoppages, blockades of roads and airports. He must be brought to justice and all wealth hunted down, audited and returned to the State. None of the tycoons spared in the exercise either.

Recently an MP in NZ Taito Philip Field was jailed for using Asian immigrants to do up his house in return for promises of helping them with residence application; just for that! What a contrast your Country!
