WHY IS THE MACC FOLLOWING AND MONITORING ME?

How much does the MACC spend just to follow me around and monitor me in Bangkok? Is this how they spend the Malaysian taxpayers’ money? And is this their job? And why do they need to follow me around and monitor me? Are they investigating a corruption case that I am involved in?

It’s just after 5.00am here in Bangkok and tonight I will be leaving for home after spending nine days here to meet various people, a couple of those my Deep Throats in the government. Yes, I still do have my Deep Throats, although nowadays I need to meet them outside Malaysia such as in Bangkok, Phuket, Jakarta, Medan and Singapore.

I have dropped Singapore from my list, though, because the last meeting I had there was quite scary. The taxi driver at the airport know who I was while one Chinese chap (who could have been a Special Branch officer) at the train station not only knew who I was but even knew the chap I was with.

The scary part about it was that this Chinese ‘Special Branch officer’ (if that was who he was) knew how many trips the chap I was with had made to Singapore and he also knew that although we both had made regular trips to Singapore that was the first time we had made that trip together.

The question is: why did this Chinese chap who was a total stranger walk up to us to tell us all this? Was this a sort of warning and to tell us that they know who were were and why we were in Singapore and how many trips we had made to Singapore and that that was the first time we had made that trip together?

Anyway, my ‘friend’ has never gone to Singapore since, and neither have I.

This latest trip to Bangkok, though, is very interesting. This time it was officers from the MACC who were following and monitoring me. I normally feel quite safe in Bangkok compared to Singapore or Indonesia because I have friends in the right places — people who matter, of course — my ‘protectors’.

I never would have guessed I was being followed and monitored if not for the fact that my ‘protectors’ in Bangkok had informed me about it. Now that I knew I paid special attention to those people who looked suspicious.

Lo and behold, during one breakfast meeting one chap sat at the next table and did not do a good job at pretending to look innocent. So we asked the waitress to change our table to the far end of the restaurant so that we would not be within earshot.

I then asked my local ‘protectors’ to check who was following and monitoring me, thinking that they may be Malaysian Special Brach officers, and what they told me was most interesting. These people were not Special Branch officers but officer from the MACC.

So it looks like the MACC has now taken over the role of the Special Branch. And it looks like their job is no longer to check corruption but to follow me and monitor what I do and who I meet. And it also looks like they know who I met in the last nine days I have spent in Bangkok.

My local protectors tell me that they even have photographs of me going to the spa and so on. The fact that they tell me the photographs show I went to the spa together with my wife makes the information correct. And they even know how many times and which spa I went to. Luckily I did not have any Lady Boys with me or else by now these photographs would be all over the Internet.

How much does the MACC spend just to follow me around and monitor me in Bangkok? Is this how they spend the Malaysian taxpayers’ money? And is this their job? And why do they need to follow me around and monitor me? Are they investigating a corruption case that I am involved in?

Yes, MACC, I know what you are doing and that I am being followed and monitored. Anyway, in case this is what you were looking for, maybe I can assist you by giving you some of the photographs you were hoping to get but were not able to. Below is one such photograph that I took with some delicious Lady Boys.
