SARAWAK REPORT REPLIES TO NST’S EXCLUSIVE
Malaysian Insider
Accused of forgery, Sarawak Report puts Umno-owned NST under spotlight instead
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — Sarawak Report (SR) founder Clare Rewcastle Brown is accusing New Straits Times (NST) of publishing false news to discredit her website, noting that the newspaper is owned by Umno.
The London-based editor rubbished the newspaper’s report yesterday that claimed her website tampered with documents on PetroSaudi International’s (PSI) abortive deal with 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), claiming the article contradicted other reported statements from the Thai police on the same matter.
“I don’t believe a word that is reported by the NST, based on their recent stories. So, if the policeman has allegedly said these things to NST who else has he said it to?
“The NST account entirely contradicts what other newspapers have reported the Thai police as saying,” she said in an email to Malay Mail Online, claiming the newspaper was prone to bias on the topic of 1MDB.
“And one therefore has to wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that NST is owned by Umno and the chair of Umno is Najib Razak who is up to his neck in the problems with 1MDB which have been the subject of these reports?” she added.
…
The report, however, contradicted a previous article by news agency Associated Press (AP) that said the Thai police have refused to share with Malaysian diplomats information on their investigation on Swiss national Xavier Andre Justo.
Justo, a former PSI director who was recently arrested by Thai police for attempting to extort and blackmail his former employees, is said to be the source of the documents that allegedly suggest impropriety in the PSI-1MDB venture.
According to AP, Thailand national police chief Somyot Poompunmuang had conveyed this to a delegation of Malaysian diplomats after meeting them two days ago.
“So how come this guy gives a different story to NST?” Rewcastle Brown asked, referring to Prawut, the Thai police spokesman interviewed by NST.
“After all, the sort of statements that NST are quoting this policeman as making are highly unprofessional for a policeman in the middle of an investigation,” she added.

BANGKOK: Thai police today confirmed that a news outlet based in London had tampered with classified documents belonging to Saudi oil company PetroSaudi International.
Without naming the news organisation, Thai police spokesman Lt Gen Prawut Thavornsiri said it belonged to a Malaysia-born woman who moved to Britain.
He said the news outlet had tampered with the documents with the intent of discrediting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his administration.
Speaking to the New Straits Times, he said the woman was part of a group of potential buyers interested in purchasing the documents from Swiss citizen Xavier Andre Justo.
“Some members of the group, including the woman, had met with Justo three times in Thailand to determine whether the information contained in the documents was of any use to them,” he told the NST in a phone interview today.
He also said Thai police had strong reason to believe that the documents were tampered with after the transaction.“The information contained in the documents that were published online appear to be different from the original digital copies retrieved from Justo’s personal computer,” he said.

‘Justo meeting’: Own up, opposition figure told
A cabinet minister has challenged opposition leaders who have met Swiss national Xavier Andre Justo to clear the air.
Communications and Multimedia Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek said Justo had been implicated in a conspiracy against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, thus the matter is of serious nature. “(If the allegations are true) it is an act to sabotage the country, this is treason against the country,” said Ahmad Shabery when met at the open house event at the prime minister’s official residence in Putrajaya today.
According to several news reports, Thai police claim that Justo had confessed to meeting 10 Malaysians, including Umno and opposition figures, in Singapore.
