What makes Justo’s data so valuable?

A call for Malaysians to think and to spread the truth without fear.

By P Ramakrishnan  - Aliran
 

Think, Malaysians, think! Why would the data that Xavier Justo stole be worth millions, with various parties, including PetroSaudi, willing to pay him if they were not detrimental to some VVIP?
 

Think! If the data were tampered with, just show the evidence, refute and sue The Edge, Sarawak Report and the Wall Street Journal. That would have totally discredited all these publications. Why use someone like Lester Melanyi, a man said to be of ill-repute, to try and discredit Sarawak Report? Why does MCMC need to block the website? Why suspend The Edge for three months?
 

Think! The allegations that RM2.6 billion ended up in Najib’s personal account and that

RM2 million cash was deposited into Rosmah’s account were not denied.
 

Think! The reports about RM2.6 billion or RM7 billion is just what has been uncovered. What about the RM42 billion minus cost (not value) of assets bought, and uncovered amounts? Was it not Mahathir who estimated that something like RM27 billion was unaccounted for? Where is the balance? Are there other 1MDBs, smaller schemes, to plunder our wealth?
 

Think! Whose money is it if not the rakyat’s? 1MDB borrowed the RM42 billion, guaranteed by the Malaysian government. Who is paying the annual interest of RM2.7 billion if not the rakyat?
 

Think! Why does our Government need GST? A nation blessed with oil, natural resources and industrious people, going bankrupt after 52 years of nationhood? We must have the most incompetent government in the world! Guess who put them there.
Think! Why has our ringgit fallen? Are international investors and traders fools who can’t tell who is telling the truth and who is trying to cover up?
 

Come on, Malaysians, think for once and do the right thing. Spread the truth, don’t be afraid. There are more of us who are fed up with this government than those who for reasons best known to themselves, still believe that this is the most efficient and clean government in the world. Think.
To resist is to win!
