Bukit Aman’s Commercial Crimes Department Director, Amar Singh, told the IGP that they have not yet fully valued the seizure. But he was told not to worry about the real value because they need him to announce the figure of ‘RM1 billion and most probably more’. The word ‘million’ no longer impresses Malaysians. They must use the word ‘billon’ even if they need to say half-a-billion or three-quarters-of-a-billion. Whatever it may be, use the word ‘billion’.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
This is just like what happened 20 years ago back in 1998. They dragged what was supposed to be the mattress from the apartment in Tivoli Villa — where Anwar Ibrahim allegedly had his sex romps with numerous boys and girls — in and out of court every single day of the trial.
TV stations showed Malaysians this mattress being carried from the police lorry into court and out again at the end of the day. They then leaked the story that the DNA test on the mattress proved that Anwar, Azmin Ali, Azizan Abu Bakar and Azmin’s wife Shamsidar Taharin (plus many more unidentified people) had sex on that mattress.
This was the ‘smoking gun’ to prove that Anwar had sex with many boys and girls
Did Anwar use that mattress to have sex with Azmin, Azizan and Shamsidar on different occasions? Or did they all have sex together in a three-some or four-some? That they never revealed. They just spread the story that the four of them (plus many more unidentified people) had used that mattress for sex and then left it to the imagination of millions of Malaysians to figure out whether it was Anwar versus one at each time, or Anwar with all three at the same time.
In the end the mattress quietly disappeared. The mattress was inadmissible as evidence and really had nothing to do with the trial. The mattress was merely a prop to sensationalise what may have been a boring trial. The mattress was, kononnya, the ‘smoking gun’ to prove that Anwar had sex with many, many boys and girls on that bed in Tivoli Villa.
They said the mattress proved that Anwar had sex with Shamsidar, Azmin’s wife
And it worked. Without the mattress it was merely an allegation that could not be proven. With the mattress in plain view on your TV screen every night, Anwar is undoubtedly guilty of having sex with many boys and girls — Azmin, Azizan and Shamsidar included.
In fact, when the ten of us were detained under the ISA in April 2001, we were told by the Special Branch that Anwar and Azmin did have sex and that they were gay lovers. If Azmin would like to make a police report, I can give the police the name of that Special Branch officer who told us that Anwar and he were gay lovers.
Amar Singh was told to announce the value as RM1 billion or more
Anyway, today’s press conference (Value Of Cash And Goods Seized From Najib-Linked Residences Amounted To About RM1bil), which we knew about yesterday (PDRM To Announce The Value Of Valuables Confiscated From Najib Tomorrow), was done on the instructions of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Mahathir needs Malaysians something new to talk about other than the Ringgit is sliding against the US Dollar, the Bursa Malaysia is collapsing, Vincent Tan’s insider-trading crime, petrol price went up instead of dropping to RM1.50, the ECRL is on after all and at an increased price, Lim Guan Eng’s booboo on the Mandarin as an official language stunt, the price of goods going up after implementing zero GST, and much more. And he wants today’s press conference on Najib’s valuables amounting to RM1 billion to be that distraction.
Bukit Aman’s Commercial Crimes Department Director, Amar Singh, told the IGP that they have not yet fully valued the seizure. But he was told not to worry about the real value because they need him to announce the figure of ‘RM1 billion and most probably more’. The word ‘million’ no longer impresses Malaysians. They must use the word ‘billon’ even if they need to say half-a-billion or three-quarters-of-a-billion. Whatever it may be, use the word ‘billion’.
So, Amar Singh held the press conference today and announced that the value of the ‘loot’ seized from Najib was around RM1 billion and maybe even RM1.5 billion or RM2 billion on the open market. If the value on the open market is RM1.5 billion or RM2 billion, what is that RM1 billion? Is it on the ‘closed market’?
All this is worth RM1 billion, or maybe RM1.5 billion, or maybe even RM2 billion
Who was the valuer? Christies? No, it was the police officers who did the estimate of ‘RM900 million to RM1.1 billion and probably even RM1.5 billion or RM2 billion’.
Okay, most important of all, do all these RM900 million or RM1.1 billion or RM1.5 billion or RM2 billion worth of valuables belong to Najib? Not sure. Did Najib buy all these valuables? Not sure. If Najib did not buy these valuables then who bought them? Not sure. Most importantly, were these RM900 million or RM1.1 billion or RM1.5 billion or RM2 billion worth of valuables bought with 1MDB’s money? No evidence of that yet.
So, what was today’s press conference all about then?
Has Najib been arrested yet? No! Will not today’s press conference plus Mahathir’s interview yesterday where he said Najib is going to be sent to jail for a very long time (READ HERE) be prejudicial to the case? And why is the new good-Christian-Attorney-General who goes to church to thank God for his appointment keeping quiet if he is not only a good Christian but a good AG as well?
Today’s press conference is Mahathir’s WMD
So now Malaysians are going to talk about the RM900 million or RM1.1 billion or RM1.5 billion or RM2 billion worth of valuables seized from Najib like how they used to talk about the mattress which Anwar had sex on with many boys and girls 20 years ago back in 1998. And Malaysians will stop grumbling that the Ringgit is sliding against the US Dollar, the Bursa Malaysia is collapsing, Vincent Tan’s insider-trading crime, petrol price going up instead of dropping to RM1.50, the ECRL is on after all and at an increased price, Lim Guan Eng’s booboo on the Mandarin as an official language stunt, the price of goods going up after implementing zero GST, and so on.
Pandai tak Mahathir? President Bush, in fact, did the same thing with the WMD stunt. And it works every time. Oh, and by the way, Mahathir’s boys coordinated this thing so that foreign newspapers also carry the story at the same time it explodes in Malaysia. And this is why Mahathir’s boys are better than those idiots working for Najib.
