Holy Hypocrisy Rapidly Exposed

Two consecutive election results have made clear the majority of Malaysians want an end to political corruption and reform. The PAS party have rejected this request on both occasions and indulged in the orgy of plunder under the unelected coup administrations of Muhyiddin and Ismail Sabri. They have no right to claim ‘moral’ superiority whilst criticising others…….

How Conspiracy Propaganda Pollutes The Internet

First Najib and then Taib hired Israel based APCO, and then its allied FBC Media from Texas, to attack and defame Anwar and later Sarawak Report. Next, Bell Pottinger was hired in London. Then, Jho Low funded a massive western media operation to attack SR over 1MDB (and Najib chucked money at RPK). Now, the online attacks have begun again but this time they appear paid by China – or Jho Low again? Meet ‘Tony Cartalucci’ aka ‘Brian Joseph Thomas Berletic’ the Thai based ‘vlogger’ with a mission to destroy….

SLAPPED Down! London’s Libel Litigators Face Consequences At Last

Growing Tangle That The Istana Would Do Well To Step Aside From

The Agong deserves to be keep well out of this and to remain untarnished – he should leave the parties to slug it out on the floor of parliament not behind closed doors at the palace with his name dragged in.
He just needs to give each of them their turn in order of their precedence in the popular vote.

No More Of Mahiaddin’s Phantom SDs!

It is not the first time that the party-hopping PN Chairman, Mahiaddin, has been found ‘economical with the truth’ in presenting alleged SDs to the Palace showing MPs’ support. This practice should end….

GPS’s Drunken Disgrace!

Those who have conspired to thus beguile and trick their victims are no better than vile drug dealers who seek to suck the life blood from their clients……

Continuing Criminal Chaos Or A Proper Clean Up? Malaysia’s Choice

Sarawak Report has ended up reporting on volumes of corrupt practice in Malaysia over recent years. Now all the perpetrators are fighting amongst each other in the hope of regaining office and avoiding jail. It is not a pretty sight and such creatures and those who once supported them are not fit for office. Their only promise is more chaos and more corruption …..

He appears to have a strong case!

Arise Sir Jake

Is there anything Liz Truss could have done this weekend to make herself even more unpopular?

Poacher Turned Gate-Keeper At No 11?

Murky Business At Battersea?

As the Battersea Power Station development in London finally opens in the presence of the Agong and Malaysian developers backed by Malaysian taxpayers’ cash we look at some of the UK intermediaries who have profited while promoting the project in their capacity as decision makers in the public interest by at the same time taking up directorships with the spin-off company Eco World. Did murky Malaysian money muddy this London project?…..

Remember Remember The 5th Of November!

If UMNO was hoping to avoid constant reminders of its criminal connections and the global 1MDB scandal during GE15 then maybe November was not such a clever time to call it after all? The celebrity trial of the year is due to set off the fireworks on November 5th in Hollywood. If that was not in the UMNO PM’s diary then someone slipped up…..

Failing State….

Call In The Investigators Over UK’s ‘KamiKwazi’ Budget!

The Conservative Party’s ‘250 Group’ of major donors appears to have received troublingly close access to the new Chancellor, allowing potential insight into his budget plans denied others in a series of gatherings over the past weeks.

A Tale Of Two Wives? We Reveal The Hidden Scandal Behind The Redacted Segment Of The LCS Auditor’s Report

UMNO’s Silence Over Kuwaiti Hoard Signals Further Cover-Up

Kuwait has been sitting on $1.8 billion of stolen Malaysian cash for two years as KL refuses to pick up the phone and admit another scandal by ex-PM Najib.

Carbon Credit Rush Hits Papua New Guinea

As a shipload of mysterious timber extracted from Papua New Guinea is impounded in Bintulu we look at how the carbon speculators are also targeting the poor communities of that nation.

Back To Business In Johor!

Ministry Of Justice Moves Against Britain’s Rogue Libel Lawyers At Last!

Just weeks ago it would have seemed inconceivable that the attack dogs from Britain’s defamation law firms, who have proved so relaxed about taking cash from all quarters to harass and silence journalists, would find themselves held to account.

The Oligarch Syndrome – Has The Fog Of War Brought Clarity On Corruption?

Putin’s oligarchs have operated no differently to Jho Low. It beggars belief they raided the state without the sanction of the man in charge or got away with so much money (and stayed alive) without being proxies. So, just as Jho Low lobbied for Najib, why should the West imagine they have not acted as Putin’s agents all this while?……

Sabah’s Government Held To Ransom By A Carbon Kleptocrat – Devastating Plea To The UN!

Yesterday’s appeal to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous People by no less than 19 civil society organisations, including WWF Malaysia, the Centre for International Environmental Law and South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership, is a damning document.

Foreign Financing In UK Politics Sparks Growing Concern

Sarawak Report has been following the global money trail as kleptocrat and autocrat cash funnels through the off-shore system and into advanced ‘concierge’ economies where professionals serve and shield those who have pillaged their own countries. In 2022 we will occasionally shine a light on the so-called ‘London Laundromat’ to warn that corruption is an infectious disease that impacts and destroys governance beyond borders……

Another ‘Special Task Force’ – Friend Or Foe To The Rule Of Law?

Najib has published his own self-justifications daily on Facebook and in a proxy book by his communications advisor Roman Bose. Therefore, his vengeance against the former AG for exercising his own freedom to write a book is telling. UMNO’s ‘Special Task Force’ is the Court Cluster’s latest blatant attempt to re-write history and cancel court judgements to avoid the jail sentences they deserve….

Has Malaysia Woken Up To Its Logging Crisis At This Eleventh Hour?
