These 4 tycoons bankrolled Dr Mahathir’s plot. Really?

What the **** is going on? Vincent Tan, YTL and other ‘cronies’ of Mahathir’s are accused of donating tons of money to PKR for GE13.

THE ARTICLE NAMED THE FOLLOWING:

1 Berjaya Corporation Berhad CEO Dato’ Seri Robin Tan Yeong Ching;
2 Usaha Tegas Sdn Bhd CEO Tan Sri T. Ananda Krishnan;
3 Genting Group Head of Strategic Investments Dato’ Justin Leong;
4 YTL Corporation Berhad Managing Director Tan Sri Dato’ Dr. Francis Yeoh

The RM2 billion ‘donation’ Mahathir kept a secret from you

The Third Force

‘Prime Minister’ is proving to be a title too horrific to bear for Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak. Ever since Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tun Daim Zainuddin chaired the roundtable in London on the conspiracy to oust the Prime Minister late last year, sleep has not come easy for Najib, who may have been sharing a bed with bloodthirsty politicians all this while.

The meeting with some of the biggest deals in corporate-Malaysia, was to discuss ways in which Mahathir could finance a long-shot campaign meant to put a fix on Najib. The broad idea was to wage a war of perception against the government on as many fronts as possible, even if it meant the destruction of UMNO and the economy.

The attack on the ringgit

The only virtue that emanated from the meeting was that it ended. Right after that, Mahathir began courting scorn over every initiative that had Najib inscribed to it. The modus operandi was simple; “if it was a Najib move, it was a bad move.”

Suffice to say, the only recourse Mahathir saw was to attack the ringgit by a slingshot, which explains why the target was always 1MDB, the so called RM2.6 billion in donations and everything else that had an economic ring to it. Mahathir wagered on the likelihood that Najib would stoop to his bidding and retire, like Pak Lah did in 2009.

The mudslinging and the deluge of media clichés by Mahathir and his henchmen created a snowball effect that was plunging the ringgit closer and closer to the RM4.5 mark. But it was all part of the plan. The ringgit depreciated more than it should have, while Mahathir and Daim tipped their glasses over what they thought was a perfect storm that would do Najib in once and for all.

Funding the mudslinging campaign

The smear campaign Mahathir and Daim had contrived bore a price tag only patrons of the billionaires club could afford to split a cheque on. Both the Tuns were reluctant to ride a coup d’ etat on stash they’d have to fork out from their secret green vaults. If money was needed to destroy Najib, it had to be somebody else’s money, not theirs.

With this in mind, the two Tuns tabled a ballpark figure at the London meet, attended also by some of the foremost capitalists in the political arena, listed below:

1. Berjaya Corporation Berhad CEO Dato’ Seri Robin Tan Yeong Ching

2. Usaha Tegas Sdn Bhd CEO Tan Sri T. Ananda Krishnan

3. Genting Group Head of Strategic Investments Dato’ Justin Leong

4. YTL Corporation Berhad Managing Director Tan Sri Dato’ Dr. Francis Yeoh

The group settled on a R 2 billion figure, RM600 million of which was shelled out in worldwide media coverage by a US based lobbyist and Public Relations Group. It seems that the remainder of the fund was used to grease the palms of some Members of Parliament (MPs), local media portals, bloggers, and several other well connected persons closely linked to both Mahathir and Daim.

Where did the RM 600 million go?

Prior to the London meet, Mahathir had already solicited the help of Clare Rewcastle-Brown, best known as the patriarch of all that is subversive and controversial. By February 2015, the Sarawak Report’s founding editor had roped in two head honchos from the local media scene and began to work her guile in an article that was titled “The Heist of the Century.” (refer http://www.malaysia-today.net/the-macc-is-playing-pucks-with-the-rakyat-part-2/).

While Clare did work her guile to perfection and got the ball on conspiracy rolling, she wasn’t without resources. Help came in the form of two Tuns who inveigled and at times, blackmailed politicians and officials from several government agencies into a plot to topple the Prime Minister.

Police probe claim tycoons funded Dr M’s plot against PM

Published Today 12:35 pm

The police are investigating an article that claims several prominent business tycoons bankrolled an alleged plot to topple Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

The article, published in Malaysia Today last week, says corporate barons met with Dr Mahathir Mohamad and former finance minister Daim Zainuddin in London to discuss the matter.

Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said the article contained serious allegations against prominent individuals.

“We will look into it to determine how the author obtained such information.

“The allegations are not only damaging to the reputation of these VIPs but also contain serious accusations of sabotaging the government,” Khalid told Malaysiakini.

The RM2 billion ‘donation’

According to the article titled “The RM2 billion ‘donation’ Mahathir kept a secret from you”, the group, which met in London late last year, settled on a RM2 billion figure.

“RM600 million of which was shelled out in worldwide media coverage by a US-based lobbyist and Public Relations Group.

“It seems the remainder was used to grease the palms of some MPs, local media portals, bloggers, and other well-connected persons closely linked to Mahathir and Daim,” it added.

The article also accused Mahathir and Daim of planning to “buy over” over a total of 40 MPs from Umno, MCA, MIC and DAP at an average price of RM10 million per person.

“It would be interesting to know if any of the projected 40 MPs were remunerated, and if so, how the money was channelled,” the article states.

It also accused Mahathir and Daim of blackmailing politicians and officials from several government agencies into the plot to topple the prime minister.

It also claimed Mahathir attacked the ringgit with a slingshot, where the former prime minister targeted things with an economic ring, such as 1MDB and the RM2.6 billion donation.
