The Malaysian Elections , Anwar Ibrahim and the USD 8 Billion Commercial IBT

The following are matters of public record. Readers can draw their own conclusions.

a)MALAYSIAN ruling party MPs are willing to defect to the opposition in sufficient numbers to trigger a change of government, according to de facto opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim..."The sentiments in Sabah and Sarawak are strong, with a number of people approaching us," Mr Anwar said, referring to the states on the island of Borneo.(http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/anwar-tips-defections/2008/03/19/1205602481927.html)



b)Anwar Ibrahim and associates have clearly linked themselves to formerly Melbourne based Commercial IBT Bank of Labuan, a USD 8 Billion cash-box.See story and a collection of some of documents at http://www.abc.net.au/rn/backgroundbriefing/stories/2006/1754286.htm


c) Anwar Ibrahim is not averse to money politics-See for example page 6 onwards of article at http://www.jstor.org/view/00044687/di014538/00p0434z/0
Also comments by former Anwar man Chandra Muzaffar at http://www.just-international.org/article.cfm?newsid=20002672
