IS RAFIZI INSINUATING THAT THE CHINESE BRIBED NAJIB?

So stop pretending as if there is a conspiracy afoot and that everything in Malaysia is tied to 1MDB. When jobs go to Bumiputera companies they scream about cronyism and how the Chinese are being oppressed and discriminated. But when they go to Chinese companies they scream about ‘secret deals’.

After 1MDB deal, Rafizi says Chinese firms to win KL-Singapore fast train project

(The Malaysian Insider) – PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli today predicted that the RM47 billion high speed rail project between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore would be awarded to companies linked with the government of China.

The Pandan MP said he felt the government under Prime Minister Najib Razak was bound to favour the China-owned companies following their deals with 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB). (READ MORE HERE)

Rafizi Ramli is insinuating that China is being ‘rewarded’ for helping to ‘bail out’ 1MDB.

“If my guess is correct, Malaysia would soon be entering a complicated era as the stakes held by the China-owned firms are bound to complicate matters that Malaysia share a mutual interest with China, such as the nation’s stand on the Spratly islands.”

“Therefore I invite Malaysians to appreciate how lately Najib’s administration had a tendency to sell or award bids to companies linked to the China government,” said Rafizi.

Rafizi is trying to give an impression that he is ‘exposing’ a ‘secret’ that no one in Malaysia knows about yet. Has it not occurred to Rafizi that China won the contract because they were qualified and competitive? China is building high-speed railways in more than ten countries, Europe included. So China is conquering the high-speed railway market.

In November, China and Laos signed a US$6.3 billion agreement for the construction of a 418km railway in Laos and China will contribute 70% of the funds. In October, a consortium of several Chinese state-owned companies signed a US$6 billion deal to build and operate a railroad between Jakarta and Bandung in Indonesia.

Furthermore, this is not the first and only Chinese presence in Malaysia. You can read some of the news regarding Chinese companies doing business and winning contracts in Malaysia — and below is but just some of them.

So stop pretending as if there is a conspiracy afoot and that everything in Malaysia is tied to 1MDB. When jobs go to Bumiputera companies they scream about cronyism and how the Chinese are being oppressed and discriminated. But when they go to Chinese companies they scream about ‘secret deals’.

What a fooking bunch of losers. Only when jobs go to ‘Friends of Pakatan’ will they be happy even if the price is far higher.
