MALAYSIAN REGIME HELPING THE CIA TO DETAIN AND TORTURE MUSLIMS!!!
By Admin
The Malaysian BN/Umno Regime of Prime Minister Najib Razak has been proven to be a tool of the CIA to torture and detain Muslims despite the fact that this Regime claims to be a champion of Muslims the World over. I wonder what the Mufti's of Malaysia, Chandra Muzaffar, the Sultans, JAKIM, PERKASA, PEKIDA, Khairy Jamaluddin and his Umno Youth posse are going to say now. If I were Hamas PM Ismail Haniyeh, I would be very careful in rubbing shoulders with a CIA (probably Mossad) operative like Najib Razak!

Malaysia has been named among 54 countries which have helped the US's Central Intelligence Agency by hosting secret torture cells and participating in illegal deportation of detainees to and from US custody without any legal process.
In a 216-page report (left) released by New York-based Open Society Foundations on 'extraordinary rendition', or the transfer of detainees bypassing legal process, the plight of some 136 individuals was studied, revealing how they experienced 'extraordinary rendition' in 54 countries.
One such case is that of Libyans Fatima Bouchar and her husband Abu Abdullah al-Sadiq or better known as Abdul Hakim Belhadj, who had led a military group fighting the former Muammar Gaddafi regime and who now leads a political party in Libya.
The report - the first ever such report to document globalising of torture - said that the couple was detained for 13 days in 2004 by Malaysian authorities in Kuala Lumpur, before being told later that they could travel to Britain via Bangkok.
Pregnant and chained to the wall
However, both were subjected to torture by CIA agents, who detained them in a special room by the CIA at the Bangkok airport.
Fatima reported of being "chained to a wall and not fed for five days", while being about four month pregnant.
The report found that Malaysia had detained the couple on behalf of the CIA.
"Documents discovered in Tripoli in September 2011 show cooperation between the CIA and the Malaysian government in effecting al-Sadiq’s transfer.
"A memorandum dated March 4, 2004, from the CIA to the Libyan government states '[w]e are working energetically with the Malaysian government to effect the extradition of Abdullah al-Sadiq from Malaysia. The Malaysians have promised to cooperate and arrange for Sadiq’s transfer to our custody'," it added.
The report also details the arrest of Malaysian national Mohamad Farik bin Amin, who was nabbed in Thailand in 2003 and transferred from secret CIA detention to Guantánamo Bay, where he now remains, alongside fellow Malaysian Mohammed Nazir bin Lep who is accused of terrorist acts without due process of law.
The CIA, according to the report, has been involved in a secret detention programme under which suspected terrorists were held in CIA prisons outside the US, where detainees were subjected to torture.
"Secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations, designed to be conducted outside the United States under cover of secrecy, could not have been implemented without the active participation of foreign governments. These governments too must be held accountable," it stressed.

TIME FOR THE MALAYSIAN ROYALS TO MAKE THEIR STAND
The Malay Rulers can choose to be like the Three Monkeys above where they SEE NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL & HEAR NO EVIL when it concerns BN/Umno or be on the side of the RAKYAT. The CHOICE is theirs.

The moment of TRUTH has arrived for the Malaysian Monarchy. The Malay Rulers must make their stand now whether they are on the side of the Rakyat (People) or that of the Satanic BN/Umno Regime of Najib Razak. It is hard to believe that the Royalty are oblivious to what is happening to the country whether it is about deaths in Police custody, demolition of non Muslim places of worship, threats to burn the Bible, murder cover ups, election fraud by the Election Commission, foreigners been given Citizenship in return for voting BN/Umno, financial scandals by the BN/Umno Regime, the continued persecution of non Muslim Malaysian's by the JAKIM and the State Religious Councils, the continued existence of extremists organizations such as PERKASA, PEKIDA, GPMS etc..
The Royalty can't just say that they are above politics when you have idiotic decrees from the likes of the Sultan of Selangor on the Allah issue. The Malay Royals must realize that 40% of their subjects are non Muslims. The Royals must be reminded that they are ruling at the pleasure of the Rakyat and not the other way around. The Malay Rulers can't pretend to SEE NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL & HEAR NO EVIL!
The following article from the MALAYSIA CHRONICLE sums it up:
Speaking at the launch of a book on the Malaysian monarchy, Malaysian prime minister Najib bin Razak said that the Malay Rulers “are above politics” (see ‘Najib: Constitutional monarchy fosters stability, prosperity ’, The Malaysian Insider, 30 Jan 2013).
He said that the Malaysian monarchy “provides a solid foundation” for turning Malaysia into a high-income nation.
To be above politics means to not interfere in the political workings of the country and to take no sides in party politics.
To act as a foundation to the economy so that Malaysian citizens enjoy high incomes means abstaining from and disapproving the undemocratic use of the public's wealth and resources.
So is the prime minister's statement about the Malaysian monarchy true?
The evidence paints a different story.
A Negri Sembilan prince clarified that the royalty have and do participate in party politics and gave five examples (see ‘ Response to statements by Tunku Aziz and Anthony Loke ’, The Malaysian Insider, 29 Jan 2013).
In his biography of Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysian Maverick (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2009), Barry Wain speaks about how the sultans of the nine states had “sometimes played politics, leveraged their positions for financial gain and indulged in fairytale-like extravagance at the public expense”. Although the sultans were “not meant to engage in commerce, they were actually so deeply involved that they were resented by the business community”.
Roger Kershaw's Monarchy in South-East Asia (Routledge, 2001) states that “in return for secure wealth and status”, the Malaysian monarchy gives the ruling Malay elite a "more traditional kind of legitimacy” by proxy, in what is said to be an “important but unwritten 'social contract'” in contemporary Malaysia.
On this political relationship, associate professor Azlan Tajuddin in Malaysia in the World Economy (1824-2011) (Lexington Press, 2012) claims that when the constitutional article on royal immunity in 1993 was removed, “the real aim” of the government of seeking “full control of the monarchy" was “to ensure that the Malay royalty continued to serve a political function in preserving Malay electoral support for UMNO”. The author says it should not be surprising “to find some of the sultans publicly generating support for UMNO or admonishing those who have been critical of the party”.
He explains: “For the royals, the reward for subservience to the party [UMNO] would also sustain continued enjoyment of unsurpassed advantages... Several members of the the Malay royalty... have found their way into UMNO's circle of crony entrepreneurs... Many royally-run businesses have resulted in numerous bankruptcies... [but] as long as the Malay rulers remained staunch UMNO supporters, they would be assured their businesses stayed operational and are given access to lucrative commercial ventures”.
Fadzilah Majid Cooke's The Challenge of Sustainable Forests: Forest Resource Policy in Malaysia, 1970-1995(Allen & Unwin, 1999) notes that between 1987 and 1990 alone, the Pahang royal family was awarded logging concession licenses totalling 18,723.82 hectares (or 187 square kilometres) of forest.
In illustrating the “growing economic nexus in the ruler-executive relations in virtually every Malay State”, Kershaw links the “[Pahang] Sultan['s] eager taste for timber concessions” to “being 'genuinely' consulted... over the appointment of Chief Ministers” and the need for a “malleable” Chief Minister to expedite or bend rules in the “processing of land alienation at preferential rates”.
Tajuddin claims that “[i]n 1981, the Sultan of Pahang and some members of his family had allegedly gambled away massive amounts of taxpayer money within days of an outing at an overseas casino. When the state government refused to settle the debt, the state's chief minister, Rahim Bakar, was forced to resign from office. UMNO resolved the issue by... replacing the minister with a more amenable candidate, who expeditiously helped in clearing the sultan's gambling dues. In return, the sultan has remained a strong and loyal advocate of UMNO, especially during elections”.
Tajuddin supplies another example: The Sultan of Perak's eldest daughter Eleena is “a major controlling shareholder of Gamuda, an UMNO-linked construction company... [and] among Malaysia's top 40 millionaires in 2011”. He adds that “[t]his has provided reasonable grounds for Malaysians to speculate on the connection between the Sultan of Perak's family fortunes” and the dislodgement of Pakatan Rakyat's state government headed by ex-chief minister Nizar Jamaluddin.
According to The Economist (2 May 2009), Nizar "had been removed, not as is usual in parliamentary systems, by his elected peers but by the Perak sultan", Azlan Shah, "ignoring an appeal from [Nizar] to dissolve the house". The outcome favoured UMNO.
These pieces of information indicate a long-standing royal-political-business collusion.
If these academic sources are correct, it means that the Malaysian monarchs are not “above politics” in spite of appearances, and that the monarchy's impact on the public's economic welfare and rights is questionable.
