WikiLeaks: Anwar had "firm information" Najib's aide ordered Altantuya's killing

A leaked diplomatic note from the US embassy in Malaysia to Washington has asserted that Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim was convinced it was Prime Minister Najib Razak's aide-camp, who had ordered two of the PM's former body guards to kill Altanutya Shaariibuu.

The Mongolian translator, who allegedly helped in the Scorpenes deal, was murdered in Malaysia in 2006 and Anwar also said she had been lovers with both Najib and his close friend Razak Baginda.

The note also said Anwar had in his possession "solid" information, even "documentary evidence" that Najib's frontmen had received kickbacks from the Malaysian government's purchase of Scorpene submarines in 2002 and Sukhoi jet-fighters in 2003.

The US cable also points to the corruption and rot already existing in the Abdullah Badawi administration and eventually hallmarking Najib's tenure as prime minister. The abuse of power has not diminished but grown stronger as Najib fights to stay in power, with corruption and interference entrenching itself even further into all arms of the government machinery, the civil service and the judiciary.

And this perhaps explains the Pandora Box of events currently being played out as Malaysia heads towards its 13th General Election, widely expected to be called later this year or early next year.

WikiLeaks pinpoints Mahathir, Umno and EC in Sabah's infamous Project M

A recent diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks has a rather ominous entry that pinpoints the then prime minister Mahathir Mohamad as being the perpetrator of a citizenship-for-votes scam, with the alleged direct involvement of the then Election Commission chief.

The cable stated: “During their discussion, Hussin claimed that (former EC head) Rashid admitted his direct involvement in UMNO's shadowy 1990s push to assume political control of the East Malaysia state of Sabah. During that decade, UMNO granted citizenship and Malaysian Identity Cards (ICs) to over 600,000 foreign migrant workers (predominantly Muslims from Indonesia and Mindanao) in Sabah, in exchange for their votes in state assembly elections (ref B). UMNO-affiliated parties subsequently took over all of Sabah's state assembly seats. According to Hussin, Rashid "admitted to personally issuing over 60,000 fraudulent Malaysian ICs in Sabah," to help UMNO assume political control there. Hussin told us Rashid characterized his Deputy EC Chairman, Wan Omar, as "an UMNO member who is anti-reform."

WikiLeaks: Eskay had dealings with insurgents

A leaked US embassy cable from 2006 reveals businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah's indepth knowledge on the Southern Thailand armed conflict.

KUALA LUMPUR: A leaked confidential US embassy cable from 2006 has revealed the extent of influence wielded by businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah in dealing with Thai Malay separatists who are still involved in a war with the Thai government.

Eskay, who was then the honorary Thai consul in Langkawi, had shared his indepth knowledge of the separatist movement and their activities with the US embassy high-ranking officers in a meeting on Feb 5, 2006.

Details of the meeting were sent in a confidential cable by political counsellor Mark D Clark to the US State Department in Washington.

Details of the cable were leaked by WikiLeaks to popular blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin who had published the leaked cable in his Malaysia Today website today.

Clark, in the cable, had revealed some of Eskay’s insight and knowledge of the separatist movement and their acts, including:

• the use of Malaysia as a safe haven;
• the role played by older generation insurgency leaders in providing support to the younger leaders;
• identifying one veteran insurgent as actively ordering attacks;
• the insurgents receiving financial assistance via Singapore from unknown sources;
• younger generation separatists entering Malaysia, particularly when the situation became “too hot”; and
• young insurgents given jobs at Thai restaurants and on rubber estates.

Clark noted that Eskay’s information on the insurgents were the most detailed the US team had received.

“Eskay credibly appeared to have contacts with a large pool of old guard leaders, insurgents, and sympathisers from Thailand’s Malay south.

“His views on the insurgency were the most detailed we heard during five days of travel in northern Malaysia and tracked well in many respects with information and opinions from others,” Clark said in the cable.

The cable added that Eskay had described his significant “mediator” role in the 2005-2006 dialogue with Thai Malay insurgents and his frequent interaction with separatists on both sides of the border.

“Eskay said he carried out his work on the Thai insurgency largely independent of the Thai and

Malaysian governments, and maintained direct links with most known Malay separatist leaders resident in Malaysia.

“To bolster his credentials, he showed video footage he had recorded of various meetings with men he described as elder separatist leaders and younger operators,” added Clark’s cable.

Clark, however, warned that Eskay’s belief in the usefulness of engaging the old guard contradicted the opinion of Malaysian politicians, officials and police who generally dismissed the old-timers as irrelevant.

He also said that several Malaysians volunteered they were suspicious of Eskay’s contacts with

Malay separatists and alleged Eskay had been involved in controversial business deals in the past.

Clark also pointed out in his cable that the identity of Eskay is protected throughout.

The old guard

The cable said that Eskay had informed the US officials that most of the older generation of

Malay separatist leaders lived in Malaysia with the Malaysian government’s knowledge and acquiescence.

“Eskay confirmed that younger generation separatists, including those involved in recent attacks in southern Thailand, frequently entered Malaysia, particularly when the situation became ‘too hot’ and they required safe haven,” the cable said, adding that the Malaysian government was not always aware of the identity and travel of younger separatists.

The cable said that the older leaders, with well-established networks in Malaysia, constituted the support service for the insurgents, providing shelter and transportat, and arranging jobs, including in Thai restaurants and on rubber estates.

Clark also said that Eskay named one veteran insurgent, Abdullah Idris, the vice-president of National Revolutionary Front, as responsible for ordering some of the ongoing attacks in southern Thailand.

However, Eskay believed that the Malay separatists accounted for only 30% of attacks in the south with Thai army, policy and intelligence agency factions, along with criminal gangs, responsible for the balance.

“Eskay relayed that many insurgent leaders believed deposed Prime Minister Thaksin (Shinawatra) and Thai Rak Thai party adviser General Chavalit (Yongchaiyudh) were funding much of the recent violence.”

The cable also said that Eskay admitted arranging meetings between Malaysian intelligence and various insurgents operating in Thailand, meetings which included an understanding of safe passage within Malaysia.

However, he had said that even on Malaysian soil, Thai Malay militants did not feel safe from possible assassination or kidnapping.

“On at least one occasion, a Thai bounty hunter had bribed local Malaysian police to abduct a separatist who was in Malaysia.

“Eskay had intervened to release the target, whom the Malaysian police officer had locked in the trunk of his police car,” added the cable.

Foreign funding and international links

The cable also noted that Eskay had revealed that some insurgents received funds from a bank in Singapore, which passed through money changers in the border town of Padang Besar, in Perlis.

Eskay had also informed the US officials that he saw no evidence the Malay separatists had linked up with external terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda or Jemaah Islamiyah.

“Eskay did not know the origin of the funds… though there was in his view a clear potential for a link-up with terrorist groups,” said the cable.

Eskay commented that Malaysian intelligence did not pay adequate attention to this risk and he encouraged the US to keep a close watch on developments.

The US officials’ meeting with Eskay took place just days before a visit to Thailand by the then Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to offer a Malaysian “facilitator” role for future informal talks between Malay separatists and Thai government intelligence.

Eskay, however, felt that the Malaysian mediation role would not make progress.

“Instead, Eskay anticipated continued violence,” said the US cable, which also stated that Eskay had shared with the US officials a 12-page “confidential” paper on the insurgency and Thai Malay views, resulting from his interviews with numerous separatist leaders.

More than 4,500 people, both Muslims and Buddhists, have died since shadowy insurgents launched an uprising in Thailand’s southernmost region bordering Malaysia in early 2004.

The three southern provinces have been under emergency rule since 2005, giving the military broad powers of arrest.

Eskay is back in the news again in March this year after releasing a sex video which he claimed showed Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim having sex with a Chinese prostitute.

Anwar has denied it was him in the video but Eskay is adamant that he is right, claiming that he was in the video together with Anwar.
