MACC investigates Taib Mahmud over timber corruption allegations

2011/06/09

KUALA LUMPUR -- The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has confirmed that it is currently investigating Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud over allegation of timber corruption.

Its commissioner, Datuk Seri Abu Kassim Mohamed said the commission was in the process of gathering more information regarding the matter.

"As I said earlier, we are investigating Taib Mahmud and whatever our action is, we cannot reveal at this moment," he told reporters at Sime Darby Bhd's signing and handing over corporate integrity pledge to the MACC, here today.

Abu Kassim was responding to a question on whether the MACC was looking at carrying out a similar action by the Swiss Anti Corruption Agency, which recently froze the assets of Taib Mahmud over the allegation of timber corruption.

According to a foreign news report, the Swiss Federation president Micheline Calmy-Rey was reported to be aware of the allegations and had forwarded the information about Taib’s assets in Switzerland to its regulatory body FINMA (the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority) for investigation.

Taib hits the roof at ‘daring’ reporter

Joseph Tawie | December 21, 2011

It appears the chief minister is not entirely unaffected by the allegations of corruption against him.

KUCHING: Is Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, whose US$1.46 billion wealth made global media headlines, beginning to feel the heat at home?
Already stacked against him are a series of local and international reports of alleged corruption and abuse of power.
Topping the list is the most recent and globally published report submitted by a group of international and Malaysian non-governmental organisations on the alleged corruption committed by him.
The allegations, it appears, are affecting him after all if his violent reaction to a reporter’s question last weekend was any indication.
Taib was officiating at a function at the Kuching Waterfront last Saturday when a reporter asked for his comment regarding the report submitted by the group of international NGOs.
Turning on the reporter, an angry Taib demanded to know the identity of the reporter who had “dared” to ask him that question.
“Who is the reporter (who dared to ask)?” Taib was overheard asking while his bodyguards identified the reporter and allegedly pushed the newsman.
Luckily for him the other journalists quickly rushed to help him.
Reporters barred
When they saw Taib was so angry, the reporters left and boycotted the function.
“It is obvious that the chief minister is haunted by allegations of alleged corruption against him,” said a senior reporter.
Last Thursday, Taib refused to see pressmen after his weekly Cabinet meeting.
For the past 30 years, it had been a traditional practice for Taib or other Cabinet ministers to meet and brief the press of government projects or programmes.
But this time, Taib not only refused to see the reporters but also barred them from entering the Wisma Baba Malaysia building that houses the ministerial complex.

Chin: Respect majority’s decision

Joseph Tawie | December 14, 2011

The mood within Sarawak United Peoples' Party is far from reconciliatory as a defiant former deputy secreatry general Wong Soon Koh choses to wait for ROS decision.

KUCHING: Newly elected Sarawak United People’s Party president Peter Chin has advised Wong Soon Koh, the party’s former deputy secretary general and his team, to respect the decision of the majority.
“We think we are in the majority because of the attendances. So if you are in the minority, you have to accept the majority decision, and that is basic,” said Chin, who is the Energy, Green Technology and Water minister.

YB Dato Sri Manyin applauds Riot’s election as SUPP deputy chief

Borneo Post December 13, 2011, Tuesday

SERIAN: PBB vice president Dato Sri Michael Manyin yesterday congratulated Serian MP Datuk Richard Riot for being elected as deputy president of fellow BN component party SUPP.
Manyin, who is assemblyman for Tebedu, which is one of two seats under Serian, said it was a great achievement considering that a fellow Bidayuh had been elected as the number two in a Chinese-based party.
“Congratulations. Good. This is good news for the Bidayuh community. That’s the first time the post is being held by a non-Chinese,” he said to reporters after presentation of land titles to Salcra participants at Kampung Bunan Gega.
On Sunday, Riot, who is also Deputy Foreign Minister and five-term Serian MP, made history after the SUPP’s central committee (CC) delegates elected him as the first non-Chinese deputy president of the party.
Riot has been a member of SUPP since May 1, 1993, having joined the party three years after he won Serian on an Independent ticket.
“Even though SUPP is a Chinese-based party, the Dayaks will be looked after, not that we were not looked after, but we are now looked upon as equal partners in SUPP.”
Manyin, who is also Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communications, and Riot are both from Kampung Pichin, near Serian.
