BN govt's attempt to cover up the Scorpene subs' scandal

With the arrest and deportation of French lawyer William Bourdon who is acting for an NGO, Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) had deliberately shown that the BN federal government is working round the clock to ensure that the purchase of the two Scorpene submarines by Najib Razak does not turn into an official scandal which could force him to resign as prime minister if the truth were to exposed.

The swift arrest and deportation were ordered by the home ministry just after Bourdon arrived at KLIA airport recently from Penang, who had earlier briefed the people in that state on the invitation of Suaram Penang.

This scandal, Malaysia's most recent and high profile defense procurement are the most expensive to date at a total value of more than RM7.0 billion of our taxpayers' money. The scandal which lead to the murder of a Mongolian national has been linked to a reported kickbacks and commissions of as much as RM500 million or more received by a local Malaysian company and its agents.

The murder trial which involved one of Najib's best friend Razak Baginda and two bodyguards of Najib has failed to unearth any important leads to the contracts which eventually saw Razak Baginda being acquitted of any murder charges and he since being compensated and migrated to England to prevent any further cause of embarrassment to the BN government.

Investigations in France by its judiciary authorities are still ongoing on the French based major arms manufacturer DCNS and as well as the other company which had extensive dealings leading to the purchase of these two submarines by the BN government.

Source from the French judiciary inquiry had also reported that there is another commission which involved a few more billion of Ringgit was being paid out to a third company engaged together in this purchase, where it involved a VVIP, Razak and the murdered 28 year old Mongolian national named Altantuya Shaariibuu. And the suspected VVIP whom the French still refused to reveal might be Najib. The deal was reported to have taken place in Macau.

Najib had since continuously deny any involvement in the Macau deal and he had never knew Altantuya at all.

And if the French judiciary were to find DCNS guilty, the arms manufacturer will have to reveal all it accounts and transactions leading to the sales and purchase of these two submarines, commissions being paid out, who are the parties involved in the deal, the company officials who sealed the deal, as well as officials from the BN government who were part of this business.

Should this happen, it will spell an end to Najib's political adventures and the case of the murdered Mongolian national would have to be re-open for another judiciary review or a possibly a retrial could be requested on this case.

Najib, you could not cover up all this from our Malaysian public at large. The French government is putting a thorough investigation into this and you know the transparency of the judiciary over there. Once there is a scandal and wrongdoing, the results of the investigation will be announced publicly and once it spill over here, you have no where to hide, even if you continue to conceal it by exhausting all your powers as prime minister or with the help of your cousin home minister Hishammuddin Hussein.
