Scorpene Submarines: Lord Charles (Chahl) Tells All

Hantu Laut

Read how Suaram spun the yarn on the Scorpene submarines deal. 

I have always had my doubts of this NGO run by witches, sorcerers and political vagabonds used by the political oppositions 

Now that Pakatan had lost the elections and Anwar Ibrahim failed to grab the covetous title more must be done to rattle Najib's cage.

Read the VOICE take on Suaram chasing the chimera and a tell all by Jasbir Singh Chahl, endearingly known among friends as Lord Chahl, or, if you wish, the English version of the more esteemed Lord Charles. 

Would Lord Charles story have taken a different path if Anwar and Pakatan had won the 13th General Elections?

Pesky French Lawyer Seeks to Return to KL

Sub scandal lawyer, booted out in 2011, scheduled by opposition to address parliament

French lawyer William Bourdon, the leader of an investigation into a long-running scandal involving €150 million in kickbacks over the sale of submarines to the Malaysian defense ministry, was due to land in Kuala Lumpur today to testify on the probe before the Dewan Rakyat, or house of parliament.

It was questionable, however, whether Bourdon would be allowed into the country. He was unceremoniously bundled out by authorities in July of 2011 after giving details of the alleged scandal in a speech in Penang to hundreds of people at a fundraiser to continue his investigation. Bourdon was taken off a flight at Kuala Lumpur International Airport by immigration officials and was put on another plane out of the country over his protests. 

Bourdon and his team, who had been hired to by Suaram to look into the scandal in dissatisfaction over the government’s investigation of the 2006 murder for hire of the Mongolian translator and party girl Altantuya Shaariibuu, were asked by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim to answer questions in parliament tomorrow about the affair. 

Bourdon and Suaram have been battered by both the mainstream press, which is largely government-owned, and an army of bloggers who say the scandal has been overblown and that no trial had been ordered by French authorities. Neither Bourdon, Suaram nor Asia Sentinel, which has reported extensively on the case, have ever said a trial was imminent. But the investigation is continuing and investigating magistrates have been appointed by the French courts. 

As Asia Sentinel reported in June 2012, French police acting on a request from Bourdon’s legal team raided the headquarters of the state-owned defense giant DCN and its subsidiaries and came up with a wealth of detail that enmeshed former French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, current Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and a host of others in the scandal, as well as top officials with DCN. Read more.

Anwar In Desperate Mode.

Hantu Laut

Anwar's unprecedented action to bring in three foreign lawyers to brief parlimentarians on the Scorpene submarine issue shows his total disregard for the inviolability of parliament and insult to the intelligence of our parlimentarians, the people and the nation.

One can only interpret it as an act of desperation. 

The presence of these three lawyers in parliament is no doghouse matter but an insult to the whole nation. The fishing expedition of the opposition Pakatan Rakyat and its lackey Suaram's on the Scorpene submarine deal to try connect Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak with the grisly murder of Altantuya, which they have every now and then failed to provide any substantive evidence that connects Najib with complicity to murder or receiving any money from the Scorpene deal.

Has the matter become ignotum per ignotious that those Pakatan MPs with legal background are too stupid to explain the findings of the investigation in Parliament.

Who pays for the three lawyers? 

As a businessman who had the experience of engaging foreign lawyers before, I can safely say they are not cheap and even more so if they have to go on a fishing expedition and a long and winding investigative journey. Unless, they are half-past-six lawyers, the legal fees would run into million of ringgits.

Where did Suaram, who always claimed poverty, get so much money to pay these lawyers, or is Anwar paying them out of his own pocket, or are these Frogs doing it pro-bono, out of their love for Malaysia?

Someone must have a huge slush fund stacked somewhere to finance the opposition's political campaign against the government that have been going strong since March 2008. 

Going by Anwar's American style political campaigning, travelling in absolute luxury in personal coach and plane, one can imagine the magnitude of the cost of his politicial campaigning. 

The Young Journalists Club had taken upon themselves to denounce this wicked act of Anwar by lodging a police report against him.

Striking Off SUARAM Is Justifiable

Hantu Laut


SUARAM is a private limited company registered with the the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) instead of the Register of Societies (ROS).Read here.


How could human rights NGO be registered under the Companies Act, which regulate entity that have its objective the acquisition of gain. For all intents and purposes SUARAM should be considered a society and registered under ROS.


What are the objectives in the MOA, does it include dabbling in politics, which is what it is actively involved in and pursuing right now?


Obviously, the people behind the company have broken the law and like any other lawbreakers they should face the music.


As usual the opposition and its hound dogs would hit back at the government and the prime minister accusing him of using intimidation and harassment  by the authority.


Malaysia Chronicle and its obsequiously-assed journo has her craps here. 


Read to you heart's content, this is not pro-oppositions blog but we want you to read what the oppositions write.If SUARAM can get those documents, you mean the Malaysian Special Branch could not lay their hands on such documents? 


Wong Choon Mei, please get your head wired to the right conduit!


Don't give those jokers too much credit for such an expensive sleuth work which requires millions of ringgit to finance and the account books showed pittance collected over the years. Where the money coming from?



Listen to the political motivation of the speaker.


The CCM and the IRD need to know where you get so much money to finance such extensive and expensive investigative works in Europe. 


You can fool the kampong folks and those educated fools but you can't fool people who had done extensive business and travel in Europe. Nothing is cheap and nothing is free when dealing with Europeans, more so with lawyers.


A raid on SUARAM's office is justified.


A raid by officers of CCM of SUARAM office was aborted due to a faulty search warrant.Trust our civil servant for knowing their stuff, more often than not, they are the source of more trouble and an embarrassment to the government.


Many of you who had run or is running a business know what happened when you failed to comply with requirements under the Companies Act.


Like any company that broke the law where the directors are charged and fined, the charges against SUARAM are far greater than the normal misdemeanour and striking off the company is justifiable.

SUARAM, Who Are The Toadies ?

Hantu Laut


What is SUARAM and who are the people behind it?


This so called human rights movement has now become a front for the opposition Pakatan Rakyat and its godfather Anwar Ibrahim doing the dirty works under the pretext of human rights.


For all intents and purposes SUARAM should now be considered a full-fledged political party replicating, supplementing and helping the oppositions in hyping the Scorpene submarines deal with lies and half-truths. 


Those behind SUARAM should ask themselves whether pursuing at great expense a so called corruption case has got anything to do with human rights.


What is human rights?

The basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, often held to include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law.

It is obvious SUARAM has become the apparatus and vehicle for Pakatan Rakyat and Anwar Ibrahim in furtherance of his desire to be prime minister of this country and payback time.


Those who sit in SUARAM are mostly his toadies.


Read on:


An organisation called SUARAM has featured in the Malaysian and international media a lot recently, often described as an “independent human rights group”. So who are they? The thing is, whilst the group has been very public in attacking Prime Minister Najib Razak, they are very private about their own affairs. Their own website doesn’t give anything away about who is actually behind the group.

After a bit of media research we were able to compile the biographies below. As you can see, the group is dominated by PKR affiliates, officials and even politicians. And these are just the ones we know about. The photograph revealed above shows the longstanding ties key SUARAM members have with Anwar Ibrahim and his interests.

Why does this matter? Firstly, the controversial Scorpene issue has been reheated recently purely because of unsubstantiated claims by SUARAM, and their cunning but misleading portrayal of the French legal process. It’s outrageous that such a serious allegation can be based unquestioningly on the word of a group with clear political motivations.

It’s also fundamentally cynical and dishonest (not to mention damaging to our country’s reputation) to conduct partisan politics in this way. Sadly we’ve seen it before with Anwar’s so-called “international fact-finding mission”. Enough is enough. Please share this website with your friends so that they can find out who SUARAM  are.
