A leak in Washington suggests that correspondence between the Malaysian Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and Washington over the past 6 months has laid bare the facts of the 1MDB matter which Loretta Lynch overreached and acted precipitously accusing the government of Malaysia and indirectly the prime minister himself of wrong doing.
A source in Washington says that the president is ‘aware the thorn in the side of relations between the two friends has been damaging and it is regrettable.’ He also said that ‘the President is preparing to assure the prime minister of Malaysia in a public way when he visits Washington that ‘the relationship between Malaysia and the US remains on a firm footing and an even keel.’
When asked to comments more specifically on the 1MDB affair and the kleptocracy initiative under which Loretta Lynch launched her attacks against Malaysia and its prime minister, the source said “The president is determined to mend fences and build bridges to try to repair the damage done to friends like Malaysia by the former administration.”
“We have nothing to pursue against Mr. Najib or his government and neither has the Malaysian prime minister and his government anything to fear from us. We’re just cleaning up the mess of the former administration.”
In the meantime in Australia it has been revealed that Australia’s foreign minister Julie Bishop told a source that she did not make the statements attributed to her and published in the Australian Newspaper last year about allegations of corruption in the Malaysian government that was of concern to her (published in the Australian in June 2016).
“The foreign minister has a close relationship with her counterpart in Malaysia and has a high regard for the Malaysian prime minister and his government.” The source went further to say that “The Australian like much of the Australia’s media took a much larger statement the foreign minister made on reports from Malaysia about allegations of corruption and they got creative with it. They re-arranged her words to produce something that was both inaccurate and offensive.”
Away from the 1MDB matter, it has been revealed that Dr. Mahathir’s secret defence arrangements with the government of the US formed the basis for the US to compell Malaysia later under the agreement to host the illegal practice of “rendering” of “Muslim” alleged “terror suspects” kidnapped from abroad and tortured in breach of public international law and Human Rights practices for a decade.
A further disclosure indicates that the DAP was amongst some of the local groups paid handsomely by the US government to turn a blind eye to the use of clandestine bases in Malaysia for the practice of “rendering” of so called “Muslim terror suspects” many of whom were eventually found to be innocent of charges against them.
