Shahidan Kassim says molest report was just a 'misunderstanding'

KUALA LUMPUR: Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim has come forward to say that it was all just a "misunderstanding", after allegations emerged that a Perlis MP had sexually molested a 15-year-old girl.

A police report was made alleging that the victim, 15, was molested by the MP, but the report was then withdrawn by the victim’s family.

Perlis police chief Senior Asst Comm Noor Mushar Mohamed said the suspect, who went to Bukit Aman at close to noon on Tuesday (Oct 30), spent a few hours with investigators.

Reading from a prepared text and accompanied by his lawyer, Thalia Rohaina Abdul Latiff, at the press conference, the former minister in the Prime Minister's Department said the misunderstanding stemmed from a meeting with a group of buskers when he wanted to hand over some financial assistance.

"One of the busker members and their manager wanted to meet me.

"After handing over the assistance, I went back home.

"I treat all of the busker group members just like my own children and family members," he told reporters in Parliament.

Asked about the conversation between him and the girl inside his car, Shahidan said that "it is all in my police report, the police is investigating so I cannot divulge more."

Pressed on whether his driver was there at the time, Shahidan said: "There is a report lodged."

"Let's be fair and let the police investigate. Furthermore, the family has retracted the police report, but you people re-open it," he added.

Asked to explain why there was a misunderstanding to the point that the issue went viral on social media, Shahidan said he himself was asking the same question.

He said media reports emerged only after the police report was withdrawn.

"It happened last week. Why did the story come up now? I don't understand why it became viral and where it came from," he said.- Star

NAJIB BARBECUED BY HIS OVERCONFIDENT HOTSHOT LAWYER EVEN BEFORE TRIAL BEGINS? ‘GOOD IDEA TO AIR 1MDB TRIAL LIVE ON TV,’ SAYS SHAFEE – YET NAJIB’S PATHETIC PERFORMANCE AT AL-JAZEERA INTERVIEW SHOWS THE DISASTER THAT CAN BEFALL EX-PM WHEN GRILLED BY PROSECUTORS

THE trial of former prime minister Najib Razak, who is facing a total of 38 charges related to troubled state fund 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and affiliated units, should be aired lived, said his lawyer Shafee Abdullah.

“I think it’s a good idea. Let people know what the trial is about,” he told reporters.

“For me, I’ve got no issue. I think everything should be transparent. Nothing to hide.”

A Change.org petition was started as early as July to communications minister Gobind Singh Deo to air the trial live. However, there were no signatories to the petition.

Earlier, Shafee shot down a request by the prosecution team, led by special prosecutor Sulaiman Abdullah, to change the venue of the trial to the Palace of Justice from the Kuala Lumpur court complex.

“They wrote a letter requesting. It was very long. We replied with a longer letter saying we shouldn’t. We should have it here (KL Court),” he said.

“This is a bigger court that in Putrajaya. You can put three Putrajaya (courts) inside. So why you want to transfer there? Putrajaya has only eight courts.

“We’ve got here, 38 high courts. And then you have 27 sessions courts. And then you have another 30 magistrate’s courts,” he said, adding that there are 12 unused courts.

“This is the bigger court,” he said.

Chief Judge of Malaya Zaharah Ibrahim will rule on the request of venue change at an undetermined date.

Today, Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali allowed the case transfer of 25 of Najib’s charges from the Sessions Court to the High Court.

Najib appeared in the dock, while wife Rosmah Mansor sat in the public gallery.

He was later greeted by shouts of “Long live Najib” by 50 supporters as he left the court.

100 UMNO & PAS-LINKED PROTESTERS CARRY COFFIN TO PARLIAMENT TO FRIGHTEN MAHATHIR & CO – AND THEY SUCCEED! DR M BACKS DOWN, SAYS TO ‘DISCUSS WITH ALL RACES’ BEFORE SIGNING ‘ICERD’ DESPITE PLEDGE IN NEW YORK TO UPHOLD U.N. PRINCIPLES

About 100 representatives from Malay-Muslim NGOs today held a protest against Malaysia’s commitment to ratify the UN International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Icerd).

Chanting calls for Muslims and Malays to unite against alleged attempts to threaten the sovereignty of race and religion, the group’s representatives gathered about a kilometre away from Parliament’s main gate.

“To hell with Icerd! Down with Icerd! We reject Icerd!” chanted the crowd as they lifted placards with similar messages warning against alleged attempts to sacrifice the nation’s sovereignty through ratification of the UN human rights convention.

The group also brought along a coffin that according to them symbolised the “death” of Malay-Muslims in the country.

At about 11am, the group was met by top PAS leaders including party president Abdul Hadi Awang, deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and central committee member Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz – who accompanied the group’s representatives into the Parliament building to submit a memorandum to the government.

Also seen were several Umno Youth grassroots members.

Among the Malay-Muslim NGOs involved in the protest were Muafakat, Isma, Gamis, PPIM and Perkid. – MKINI

Dr M: Gov’t to discuss ratifying Icerd with all races first

RELATED STORY: Dr M pledges to uphold UN principles in New Malaysia

The government will seek to discuss the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Icerd) with all races in the country before ratifying the treaty, said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The premier told reporters today that he had stated previously that adopting the convention would not be an easy task, as Malaysia is a multiracial country.

“We will sign it after we discuss (the matter) with all the races in Malaysia.

“I have mentioned in my speech (before this) that this (Icerd) would not be easy to be implemented in Malaysia because in Malaysia we have multiple races…everyone is sensitive towards certain issues.”

He was answering a reporter’s question after launching the National Policy on Industry 4.0 at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) Tower in Kuala Lumpur.

The reporter had asked for Putrajaya’s stand on Icerd and whether it would ratify the convention by next year.

Icerd recently became a hotly debated issue after de facto National Unity Minister P Waythamoorthy said the government would ratify it in the first quarter of 2019.

This had created uproar among several groups, including Umno Youth, who said that Icerd contradicted the Federal Constitution in terms of bumiputeras’ special rights and would sideline the Council of Rulers.

1MDB WHISTLEBLOWER JUSTO DROPS BOMBSHELL: ‘3 MALAYSIAN COPS FORCED ME TO SAY NAJIB WAS THE BEST PM EVER’ – IS THIS TRUE AMAR SINGH?

KUALA LUMPUR — Former PetroSaudi executive Xavier Justo revealed today that the Malaysian police had asked him to admit publicly that Datuk Seri Najib Razak was “the best prime minister” as part of his forced confession.

The whistleblower central to the unravelling of the 1MDB financial saga said the admission was part of several instructions imposed as a condition for his release, which he confessed to under the assumption that it would secure his release.

“The Malaysian delegation was of three Malaysian policemen and they told me to say I was a bad man, I liked money and Tarek and Petrosaudi were nice,” he told a conference on financial crime here.

“And also I had to say Najib was the best PM ever… Of course, I don’t know if he was,” he added.

Among the delegation of police personnel that met him was current Criminal Investigation Department Datuk Amar Singh Ishar Singh, Justo claimed.

MAHATHIR SMASHES MALAY ‘SUPREMACY’ – NO NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT WHEN YOU ARE LAGGING THE OTHER RACES: ‘TO BE MASTERS, YOU NEED KNOWLEDGE, WORK HARD, DON’T LIE, DON’T STEAL, DON’T FOLLOW IN NAJIB’S FOOTSTEPS’

KUALA LUMPUR― Malay rights groups should strive to increase their knowledge and steer clear of following in the missteps of former leaders before touting “ketuanan Melayu” or Malay supremacy, the prime minister said today.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad added that it was pointless to entertain such notions when the community was still lagging others.

“No need to talk about Malay supremacy if you are someone else’s slave.

“We can be masters but we need knowledge, we need to work hard. We don’t lie, we don’t steal and we don’t follow in the footsteps of the previous prime minister,” he told reporters after launching a talk on the future of industries here.

Dr Mahathir did not name anyone, but he was likely referring to his predecessor Datuk Seri Najib Razak who is facing criminal, corruption and money laundering charges for misappropriation of public funds.

The prime minister was responding to several groups that marched to Parliament earlier to express objections to calls for Malaysia to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).

The groups argued that ratification will infringe on the special rights accorded to the Bumiputera, though none are expressly stated as such in the Federal Constitution as cited.

On ratifying ICERD, Dr Mahathir said that further engagement with all stakeholders is crucial.

“We will ratify once we engage with all races in Malaysia as this is not a simple matter.

“Each race is sensitive to certain issues,” he said.

Yesterday, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa, said that ratification of ICERD will be done with “reservations’, adding that the convention can be adopted while still adhering to existing laws and provisions.

Middle East Snake Pit Part 2 : Erdogan, US, UK Move To Oust Salman And MBS

Folks, do read this very, very carefully. My comments follow.

younger brother of Saudi King Salman, Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud

arrived home from London to tackle "toxic" crown prince MBS 

under security guarantees of U.S., U.K., Middle East Eye reported Tues

Ahmed in his 70s, is Al Saud family member

son of King Abdulaziz, founder of Saudi state

he was not touched during last year's purge by MBS 

MBS not dare make enemy of children of founding father 

Ahmed "realized MBS toxic" 

open critic of crown prince

he is former interior minister

• prince to play role to make changes
• either he will play major role in new arrangement 
• or choose alternative to MBS

confidence to go home because of senior status

U.S., U.K. assured "not be harmed" 

"encouraged him to play role of usurper"

My comments  :  The days of King Salman and his wacko son crown prince Mohamed bin Salman or MBS are numbered. 

This guy here is Prince Ahmed bin Abdelaziz Al Saud perhaps the last remaining son of the founder of Saudi Arabia King Abdelaziz Al Saud.

Just a few days ago the Saudis flatly turned down an official request by Turkey to extradite those 18 chop-chop murderers who killed and chopped up Jamal Kashoggi. This was to be expected. There is no way the Saudis would allow those 18 murderers to be tried in an open Court room in Turkey. 

(By the way Turkish police have still not found the body. The Turkish Police are also checking out the sewers running through the Saudi consulate. One theory is that the Saudis minced up Kashoggi's body to enable the body to be flushed down the toilet. More on that later.)

Back to the story - Erdogan still has all the cards up his sleeve.

The biggest cards are the audio and possible video tapes of Kashoggi being murdered. Frankly the Saudis will not care two hoots if Erdogan has evidence that will embarrass them or not. 

But it will certainly embarrass Trump and the British - the real rascals who also knew of the plot to murder Kashoggi.  The US and the UK will be terribly embarrassed.

Hence the above news story. At this point in history the US and UK really do not need  both King Salman and his wacko son Mohamed Bin Salman. But they still need Saudi Arabia. Hence the two will have to go.

The new hope on the ground in Saudi Arabia is the guy in the picture above Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who has now been sent back to Saudi Arabia from his "exile" in London (where else?) 

He cabut from Saudi Arabia after MbS was appointed Crown Prince. Now he has boldly gone back under security guarantees provided by the US and UK.

How is this guy going to get King Salman and the Crown Prince to leave? 

He cant just walk up to them and tell them, "Please leave now".

There is going to some kind of fight.

Alternatively the US and UK will engineer a situation where this guy also gets his head chopped off. Then that will create a big outcry in Saudi Arabia and may cause a civil war (or at least a civil commotion) of sorts during which both King Salman and his sin MbS are taken out.  

Here is something else folks. US Ambassador to the United Nations Nimrata Kaur Rhandhawa aka Nikki Haley resigned her post suddenly on 9th October 2018.

Ambassador Nikki Haley 

The news going around now is that Nikki Haley wrote her resignation letter on October 3rd - just one day after Jamal Kashoggi was killed on October 2nd 2018.

Implying that the US and the UK already knew immediately on October 3rd itself that Kashoggi had been killed in Istanbul. They were just pretending not to know - and hoping no one else will find out. Either the coverup or the Great Istanbul Game had started. 

Nikki Haley did not wish to be part of any of this. 

That is why she resigned as the United State's top diplomat to the UN. 

The British Press now says the British already knew that Khashoggi was going to be killed. Here is some news :

The suggestion is Kashoggi was going to blow the whistle on the UK supplying chemical weapons to Saudi Arabia which the Saudis had used against the Yemeni people.

So this is a real thriller isnt it?

Here is a future movie script folks:

1. Khashoggi was going to expose the UK (and possibly the US) supplying chemical weapons to the Saudis which they used in Yemen.

2. This would really embarrass the US and UK.  (The Saudis do not give a sh_t, nothing can embarrass them).

3. So my guess is the UK (the hairline receding Brits are the real nasties in this world) "leaked" this info to MBS.  Telling him that they do not like Khashoggi squealing on them.

4. It is not beyond the Brits to order MBS to "take out" Khashoggi. Without British weapons the Saudis cannot continue the war in Yemen.

(The Turkish Police must check to see if those black mini vans made any stops at the British Embassy or buried anything in the British Ambassador's back yard. You never know. Or if there was a big old Rolls Royce waiting somewhere near that Belgrad forest).

5. After the shit hit the fan, and the whole world started screaming, the Brits have now amended the script accordingly. (Or was it all part of the plan?) It has now become too embarrasing. Too messy.  They decided to wash their hands off King Salman and MbS. They let MbS and the King take the blame. 

7. So the script has now changed : this new guy Ahmed bin Abdelaziz Al Saud has been sent from London back to Saudi by the Brits. Under security guarantees by both the US and UK.  His job is to 'engineer' the exit of King Salman and MbS.

8. If he succeeds in getting rid of and replacing Salman and MbS, he will obviously become another British American puppet. All the dirty British secrets about Yemen will get buried. 

If he is  instead killed  by MbS, both MbS and his father will get overthrown but in a more violent manner. Most likely heads chopped off.

8. There may or may not be an eruption in Saudi Arabia but something is going to happen.

9. Question : Why did they let Erdogan come out on tops in all this?  The Muslim Brotherhood may be buying new black shoes.

AG TOMMY SCORNED BY THE AGONG, DOES WELL FOR MALAYSIA

WAKE UP CALL FOR MALAYSIA: AG TOMMY, SCORNED BY THE AGONG, DOES WELL FOR MALAYSIA – CAPTURES JHO LOW’S YACHT, FILES LAWSUIT IN U.K. TO STOP RM24 BILLION IPIC FRAUD – WHILE APANDI, APPROVED WITHOUT QUESTION, CLEARS NAJIB & HELPS UAE TO RAPE MALAYSIA

Tommy Thomas was initially rejected as Malaysia’s next Attorney General when Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad proposed his name. Even the “Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V (the King)” disagreed with the appointment of the senior lawyer as the country’s top legal adviser. The excuse – not only he isn’t a Malay-Muslim but an ethnic-Indian, he is also a Christian.

After Mr. Thomas received massive support from Malaysians, especially the netizens, the King had a new twist – he wanted somebody who had been a judge or even a retired judge. The King also argued he wanted an A.G. who is able to advise him on Shariah matters. Mahathir, nevertheless, countered that the Solicitor General can handle that job. Still, the King insisted the A.G. should be the one advising him.

However, the 93-year-old PM refused to budge and stood his ground. That terrified the monarch. In fact, Mahathir was ready to start a Constitutional Crisis with the monarchy, considering he deliberately proposed only one name – Tommy Thomas. And when the monarch tried to be funny, probably emboldened by UMNO racist supporters, Mahathir fired a warning shot.

On June 3 (Sunday), Mahathir declared that his administration will not submit any other names for the position of attorney-general, as the Malay rulers prepare to gather for an emergency meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday over the matter. “Under the federal constitution, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has to act (to appoint the A-G) on the advice of the prime minister,” – warned the prime minister.

It was over before the rulers emergency meeting could even begin. Had Mahathir bent over and kissed the hands of the monarch like Anwar Ibrahim, the US$250 million superyacht Equanimity bought with stolen money by Jho Low would most probably had sailed for the United States. Malaysia would be at the mercy of the U.S. for whatever leftover crumbs arising from the sale of the yacht.

Working with the best brains, including Ms Sitpah Selvaratnam, the Attorney General Chambers quickly and efficiently invoked the Admiralty jurisdiction of the High Court of Malaya at Kuala Lumpur against the yacht, and on 6th August 2018, the Court issued a Warrant of Arrest against it. Thanks to Tommy Thomas, Malaysia has finally started the auction of the Equanimity.

But saving the country hundreds of millions of ringgit in claiming the yacht was just the appetizer. The attorney general, attacked by racists and extremists belonging to UMNO-Malays and PAS Islamist party, is now trying to save a staggering US$5.78 billion (£4.53 billion; RM24.17 billion) of taxpayers money which otherwise would go into paying Abu Dhabi’s IPIC.

Unlike his incompetent and corrupt predecessor – former A.G. Apandi Ali – who was caught dancing with disgraced ex-premier Najib Razak’s band of crooked ministers, A.G. Tommy Thomas has been working quietly on the Abu Dhabi’s International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) case. Now, Mr. Thomas will show why meritocracy, not kleptocracy, is important to the country.

Thanks to Najib Razak, an arbitration tribunal sitting in London had on May 9, 2017 recorded a consent award for Malaysia to pay US$5.78 billion (£4.53 billion; RM24.17 billion) to IPIC and the bond trustee over a five-year period. So far, US$1.46 billion (RM6.1 billion) has been paid, leaving a balance of US$4.32 billion (RM18.1 billion) – with the next interest payment of US$50 million (RM209 million) due on Nov 11.

But now the new Malaysian Government will apply to the High Court in London for an order to set aside the US$5.78 billion consent award. Essentially, if succeeded, not only the country does not have to pay US$4.32 billion (£3.38 billion; RM18.1 billion) to Abu Dhabi, but will also able to recover the US$1.46 billion (£1.14 billion; RM6.1 billion) already paid.

Expressing his confidence that the Malaysian government has a “strong case”, Tommy justified the basis of Malaysia’s legal challenge was that the consent award was procured by fraud (committed by Najib Razak) or in a manner contrary to public policy. And Abu Dhabi’s IPIC or Aabar Investments PJS knew about the fraud but made the fraudulent claims anyway.

Apparently, Abu Dhabi’s IPIC or Aabar would have known of Najib’s alleged fraud by the time of U.S. attorney-general Loretta Lynch’s announcement in the DOJ’s July 2016 press conference of the department’s filing of several civil suits to freeze assets that it said were the result of US$3.5 billion that was misappropriated from 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Bhd) – a fund set up by Najib Razak in 2009.

The theft, described as the “greatest kleptocracy in modern history”, was given tremendous global publicity, particularly in the political and business media. Tommy also said that Najib is identified as “MO1” in the DOJ pleadings and any reasonable reader reading these documents would immediately become aware of his central role in defrauding 1MDB to the benefit of himself, his stepson and Jho Low.

“In such circumstances, Malaysia takes the position that IPIC and Aabar were aware of the fraud of Najib Razak. He was principally responsible for 1MDB and Minister of Finance Inc. consenting to the Award. Every system of law would hold that he could not possibly have acted in the best interests of his country and his company,” – said A.G. Tommy Thomas.

Actually, Malaysia can sue U.A.E or Abu Dhabi because Khadem Al Qubaisi,former managing director of IPIC, was working with Jho Low (real-name: Low Taek Jho), whom in turn was Najib’s partner-in-crime in stealing or scamming Malaysia to the tune of US$3.51 billion. Its worth to note that 1MDB has claimed to have paid to the IPIC or its subsidiaries the money owed (US$3.51 billion).

However, Abu Dhabi said they had received none. As a result, 1MDB has to pay IPIC the US$3.51 billion all over again – for the second time – after claiming they had already paid the money. As it turned out, 1MDB had paid US$3.51 to Aabar Investments PJS Limited (Aabar BVI) – a fake subsidiary of IPIC (the real subsidiary is Aabar Investments PJS (Aabar)).

Strangely but interestingly, it was only after the filing of lawsuits by U.S. Department of Justice to seize assets that it said were the result of US$3.5 billion that was misappropriated from 1MDB that Abu Dhabi authorities moved in to arrest Mr. Khadem, the person entrusted with running Abu Dhabi’s US$80 billion sovereign-wealth fund.

Khadem Al Qubaisi, who was working hand-in-glove with partner-in-crime Jho Low, received at least US$470 million of money siphoned from 1MDB. In 2016, Jho Low was involved in the process of trying to stop the U.S. from seizing US$650 million in real estate and business investments the U.S. government claims were acquired with funds stolen from his home country – Malaysia.

Had Mahathir appointed another incompetent attorney general similar to the disgraced Apandi Ali, just for the sake of appointing a Malay-Muslim, it could be business as usual today. Malaysian taxpayers would continue to pay interest payment of US$50 million periodically and the two final bullet payments of US$1.8 billion each for the principal until April 2022. There won’t be any Equanimity, of course.

Now, do you understand why it’s so important to hire the right person based on meritocracy for the job, regardless of his or her race or religion? Apandi Ali, a Malay-Muslim, was appointed by Najib Razak as the attorney general and endorsed by the King without any objection. But what had he done? He cleared Najib of any wrongdoing and he allowed Abu Dhabi to rape Malaysians – including the Malay-Muslims – of RM24.17 billion.

JoLo Has Not Committed Any Crime In China Just Like Zakir Naik Has Not Committed Any Crime In Malaysia.

Hishammuddin Hussein offered full cooperation to police hunting JoLo  

PDRM and Chinese authorities established network on this matter Hisham said 

He said his close contacts in China have been informed of his visit on the matter

“If Jho Low’ in China,  why has Chinese govt not handed him over to us?” 

My comments :  When the Indians want Zakir Naik back in India to answer questions, our reply was 'Zakir Naik has not committed any crimes in Malaysia'.

Using that same argument, the Chinese can say the same thing as well. JoLo has not committed any crimes in China.  

Lets digress a little - about extraditions and extradition treaties. 

This was the situation in the world BEFORE we had Interpol, before we had extradition treaties, before we had the United Nations and international organisations and treaties.  

Criminals could commit crimes in one country and run away to another country. Then when the first country asked the second country to send back the fugitive criminal the first country will say, 'He has not committed any crime in our country'.

One of the most famous cases of this situation was Ronald Biggs and his Great Train Robbery.   

Ronald Biggs was not a western cowboy in Texas or Arizona. He lived in Britain and robbed the British Postal Train in 1963. Here is a quickie but fascinating story about Ronald Biggs' 'Great Train Robbery'.

Ronald Biggs (8 August 1929 – 18 December 2013) carried out Great Train Robbery of 1963. Became notorious for his escape from prison in 1965, living as a fugitive for 36 years, and for his various publicity stunts while in exile. 

In 2001, he returned to the UK and spent several years in prison, where his health rapidly declined. Biggs was released from prison on compassionate grounds in August 2009 and died in a nursing home in December 2013.

Great Train Robbery (1963)

Biggs, needed money to fund a deposit on a house for his family

He happened to work (as a carpenter) on the house of a train driver. 

He was the one who introduced Biggs to the train robbery plot.

The gang stopped the mail train from Glasgow to London early hours of 8 Aug 1963.

Unloaded 120 of the 128 mailbags from the train 

Robbery yielded £2.6 million (equivalent to £49 million in 2017); Biggs's share was £147,000 (equivalent to £2,824,900 in 2018). 

In 1964, nine of the 15-strong gang, including Biggs, were jailed for the crime. Most received sentences of 30 years

In 1965 Briggs escaped from prison and ran away first to Australia where he lived until 1970. Then in 1970 he moved to Rio De Janeiro in Brazil where he lived until 2001. 

In 1997 UK and Brazil ratified extradition treaty.  UK Government made a formal request for Biggs's extradition.  Rejected by Brazilian Supreme Court. Giving Biggs the right to live in Brazil for the rest of his life. 

In March 1981, Biggs kidnapped by British ex-soldiers. The boat they took him aboard suffered mechanical problems off Barbados, and the stranded kidnappers and Biggs were rescued by the Barbados coastguard and towed into port in Barbados. Biggs was sent back to Brazil.

Biggs returned to the UK in 2001. He was immediately jailed. On 18 December 2013, aged 84, Biggs died at the Carlton Court Care Home in Barnet, north London

The story of Ronald Biggs is really fascinating - as most great crimes cases tend to be. But Briggs train robbery was run of the mill. His escape from prison, living in hiding in Australia, then running away to Brazil where he lived for 31 years, played music, recorded songs, had affairs, fathered children, was abducted,  returned to Brazil, returned to the UK, jailed again, grew old, was released from jail and finally died in 2013 is one long story.

He could live safely in Brazil because the Brazilians for some reason did not wish to have him extradited back to the UK. 

Ok back to Jo Lo. As Hishamuddin and the Police have said, JoLo is believed to be in China. This 'JoLo in China' news has been doing the rounds for some time now.

Talk is JoLo is under some sort of 'house arrest' in China.   Or, that JoLo will NOT be allowed to leave China.  Tun Dr Mahathir's visit to China may have sealed JoLo's fate while he is in China.

So JoLo is not going to be appearing at the party scene in Los Angeles or in the south of France. Not for a long time. 

I think there are reasons why he is being kept in China. 

Most likely there is some type of time table.

My interest is the security of our country. 

We need to answer those phone calls from India.

CURRENT OR EX-BN MPs MUST BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE

The blame game has just started. Every BN fomer or current, especially UMNO MP, ex-Ministers or ex-Deputy Minister or those appointed to hold government appointments, claims they are unware of things under their control.

These affected persons must realise that public had paid their salaries or allowances on time and had expected that they be totally responsible for their actions.

Now trying to pass the buck to others is unacceptable. 

The present Government should immediately take action against these irresponsible officials and also get others, Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri, Police, MACC, Courts to do their task without fear or favour.

The time has come for MALAYSIAN VOTERS to realise that their voting power had been abuse and in future to use their rights effectively, carefully and responsibly.

Ordinary citizen seem to be bullied by every authority in power. "Powerful" citizens seem to be getting away.

Time for justice to be fair to all class of citizen.

Do you think this will happen in Malaysia??
