The article says that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has set up a multi-agency task force to investigate allegations of graft against Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.The video, Inside Malaysia's Shadow State, released on You Tube by London-based non-governmental organization Global Witness is being used as the focus of the corruption case. This video went viral after it was released on March 18. I saw the video about that time.
I was flabbergasted!
The video featured recorded conversations between Taib's cousins and two lawyers on matters ranging from illegal means to circumvent the operations of Malaysian laws to allegations of kickbacks to high officials within the state administration.
MACC said that it had taken statements from more than 20 people believed to be involved in the case or mentioned in the You Tube video which had alleged corrupt dealings in the state implicating the chief minister.
If you haven't seen the video, here it is.

DeleteUsing public money (stolen from them indirectly) to buy votes to extend one's evil rule, to deceive, to steal & plunder the people/country's wealth & resources. As proven globally, tyrants would kill their people to stay in power (Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mugabe, Gadaffi, Assad). This has gone on for 32 years now, & his Uncle before him! As a recap: It started with someone voted into office to serve the people. Before long he controls 3 supreme portfolios: CM, Finance Ministr & Ministr of Planng & Resource Managemt. He nominates the TYT/Governor, appoints the Dep CM, all the state ministers, all the city mayors, all directors of state departments, none elected democratically! He has his strangle-hold on Land & Survey, Forest & STIDC, etc, etc 365 days for 32 years. Not forgetting Dept of Agriculture and in recent years: SCORE ! He Awards timber concessions, plantation land, development land, mining, road works, bridges & infrastructure contracts/contracts for decades without open tender; instead all the family, relatives & cronies got them all. Land grabs, collusion with timber, oil palm, shipping & developmt tycoons. Archipelago shipping, S'wak Securities, Bank Utama, CMS... Cousin runs Sarawak Energy and the giant Naim Group. He cleaned up all the concessions & land at well below market prices yet amassed all the mega million projects with prices inflated for kickbacks. He controls the media, radio, papers (so the public get all the false or sweetened information) and immigration & blocks entries of righteous people. Astronomical gangsterism, lawlessness & crime! The whole world can smell the stench. Yet he is super proud without an ounce of remorse. The most horrific curse befits this kind of people & all his supporters who have destroyed the livelihood of a million or more people. God awaits with the fire of hell that burns forever.
