To hide the fact that Mahathir is giving them millions, Sarawak Report is pretending it does not have money and needs support from the public to fight the suit by PAS. Actually, SR and Clare Rewcastle Brown are not short of money. According to Xavier Andre Justo, Tong Kooi Ong paid Clare $2.7 million and she never handed him the money. It is believed that Clare sailang the money, on top of the millions more that Mahathir gave her and the money she got from the Swiss.
NO HOLDS BARRED

Free Malaysia Today (FMT) is helping Sarawak Report (SR) raise £30,000 from the public to fight PAS. In a news report yesterday, Sarawak Report looks to crowdfunding to defend Hadi’s suit (SEE BELOW), FMT called SR a ‘whistleblower site’, perpetuating the myth that the London-based website is a do-gooder or non-profit website rather than a profit-motivated business.
Thus far SR has managed to raise more than half that amount.
PAS is suing SR for a report on 6th August 2016 where it said Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak paid the Islamic party RM90 million to ‘woo’ them away from Pakatan Rakyat. SR said “RM90 million is reckoned to have flowed into the top echelons of PAS in recent months.”
Clare alleged that Najib paid Hadi and the top PAS leadership RM90 million to ‘woo’ PAS to leave Pakatan and align itself to Umno
SR and FMT distorted the truth and did not clarify that DAP’s Lim Kit Siang unilaterally closed down Pakatan Rakyat in June 2015 so that they could kick PAS out of the opposition coalition. The lie they are now spinning is that Najib paid PAS RM90 million to leave Pakatan.
SR also said the PAS-Umno ‘alliance’ is a crusade that stirs extremism and undermines civil law, suggesting that the RUU355 Private Members Bill or the Sharia law is an act of Islamic terrorism that destabilises and divides Malaysia with dangerous consequences.
SR’s allegation is not only insulting to PAS and/or its President, Abdul Hadi Awang, but paints Islam and the Sharia in a very negative light. SR’s very carefully crafted words are not just an attack on PAS and Hadi but an attack on Islam itself.
SR has entered the domain of Islamophobia, disguised as freedom of speech, and, of course, the DAP Chinese just love all this Islam-bashing.
Justo said he never received the $2.7 million that Tong paid Clare for the stolen data
FMT said that the legal action against SR is politically-motivated, suggesting that what SR wrote about PAS is not politically-motivated but was done based on the truth, justice, freedom of speech and in the interest of whistleblowing.
Those known to be close to this matter (aping the way SR would normally say it) have reported that SR’s legal fees is being entirely underwritten by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. That means the £30,000 which SR is collecting from the public is surplus to their needs and will be sheer profit. ‘It is reckoned’ (to quote SR) that Mahathir is underwriting the full legal cost even if in the end it comes to £500,000, which is what it may cost if the court case goes all the way.
FMT, just like Malaysiakini, has been attacking PAS, Hadi, Umno and Najib in full steam. FMT and Malaysiakini are very popular with the DAP Red Bean Army and the anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-Umno and anti-Barisan Nasional crowd because of the free-flow and no-holds-barred comments that these two news portals allow. The comments section of FMT and Malaysiakini is where the DAP Red Bean Army and the anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-Umno and anti-Barisan Nasional crowd engage in an orgy of vilifying and hate postings.
FMT was set up by John Soh Chee Wen, Anwar Ibrahim’s and PKR’s main funder and a business partner of Tun Daim Zainuddin. John Soh is now in a Singapore jail awaiting trial and since then FMT has found a new funder, said to be a group within Umno that is secretly working with Mahathir to bring down Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
Basically, SR, FMT and Malaysiakini are all aligned to Pakatan Harapan and Team B in Umno. Their objective is to make sure that Najib does not survive the next general election. So they are worried that if PAS does not agree to an electoral pact with Pakatan Harapan then the opposition would never be able to form the next government. That is why they are attacking PAS and Hadi by suggesting that Najib and/or Umno bought off the top PAS leadership for RM90 million.
Mahathir is paying Clare tens of millions to attack Najib with fake news on the 1MDB issue
To hide the fact that Mahathir is giving them millions, SR is pretending it does not have money and needs support from the public to fight the suit by PAS. Actually, SR and Clare Rewcastle Brown are not short of money. According to Xavier Andre Justo, Tong Kooi Ong paid Clare $2.7 million and she never handed him the money. It is believed that Clare sailang the money, on top of the millions more that Mahathir gave her and the money she got from the Swiss.
Clare is very quick to accuse others of this, that and the other, but if anyone says anything about her she will set her lawyers on him or her and threaten to sue. Clare is just like the DAP people who attack others under the disguise of freedom of speech or ‘whistleblowing’ but will not allow others that same right or freedom.
In fact, Clare is probably going to ask her lawyers to send Malaysia Today (MT) a legal notice asking MT to withdraw this report and pay her compensation or else they are going to sue. But then this is typical of whites who think that just because they are white and others are ‘coloured’ they have the right to attack coloured people while coloured people cannot do the same to whites.
More than 500 years of white colonisation has taught Malaysians how pompous white people can be when dealing with coloured people. And Clare Rewcastle Brown is a perfect example of white supremacy at its worst where she can talk down to others. But heaven forbid if you try to do the same to her because white is always right.

Sarawak Report looks to crowdfunding to defend Hadi’s suit
Whistleblower site says this is a politically motivated attack and that those involved are hoping it will settle the action rather than place a defence.
FMT) – Whistleblower site Sarawak Report has turned to crowdfunding in efforts to raise £30,000 (RM165,000) to defend a suit by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
According to its crowdfunding page, the news portal had raised £15,653 at the time of writing, with 29 days left to go.
In a statement on the page, titled “Defend Sarawak Report”, the news portal said it believed it had a strong case against PAS.
“We believe we have a strong case and need to stand up to the big money that appears to be flowing into their action.”
On April 21, Hadi filed a suit against Sarawak Report at the London High Court.
PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said the party was seeking substantial damages and an injunction to compel Sarawak Report to remove the article titled “As Najib Denies All Over 1MDB, Let’s Not Forget His Many Other Criminal Connections”.
The suit is over a claim in the article that RM90 million was “reckoned” to have entered the accounts of top PAS leaders to woo them into supporting Umno and Barisan Nasional.
At its recent muktamar, PAS had set up a special fund to collect money to cover the “costly” legal expenses of the suit. The Islamist party reportedly sought to raise RM200,000.
In its statement, Sarawak Report singled out Hadi, whom it said had taken exception to being caught up in the 1MDB scandal.
“PAS president Hadi has said he views our comments as a personal attack on his reputation in the UK, yet he is seeking to avoid placing security of costs in the UK court before we file our defence.
“This forces us to pay for expensive legal support to file that defence, money we have little hope of retrieving, whether or not he continues with his case.
“We believe this is a politically motivated attack and that the people involved are hoping we will settle the action rather than place a defence. They will then use that outcome, backed by BN’s powerful propaganda machine to seek to discredit us.”
The news portal urged people to help it fight the case “in order to counter this the latest of so many attempts to discredit our work”.
