by Ganesh Sahathevan When Malaysia's Attorney General The Very Learned Appandi declared PM Najib not guilty of gratification with regards that RM 2.6 billion donation he said : Evidence obtained from the investigation does not show that the donation was given as an inducement or reward for doing or forbearing to do anything in relation to his capacity as a prime minister....furthermore, in August 2013, a sum of US$620 million (RM2.03 billion) was returned by Yang Amat Berhormat PM to the Saudi royal family because the sum was not utilised."

by Ganesh Sahathevan If does not get (I hope) more foolish and incompetent than this. Mr Indonesia Bapak Duncan Lewis, well versed in Indonesian and the ways of the Javanese, as head of ASIO, in charge of counter-espionage, internal security and counter-intelligence,decided that a 76 year old grandmother happy that her son was being kept safe at Villawood from the hangman's noose that awaits him in Malaysia, was the greater threat to Australia's national interests than Malaysian Special Branch officers and their local agent. This is evident from the story below, and it is clear from this part of the article in yesterday's The Australian that Border Force expect Pak Duncan to share in the blame: Serco, are vetting his visitors — subjecting them to full ­security screenings and running names through the government’s extensive intelligence holdings. Malaysia's Special Branch officers are good at their work, but they are not the best in Malaysia , or the region .One sh...

by Ganesh Sahathevan SERCO, Borderforce and its cheif Michael Pelluzzo and the chinless wonder Peter Dutton have insisted since November last year that Villawood detainee Sirul Azhar is being managed to the highest standard of security and intelligence: As reported in The Australian , 3 November 2015: In March (2015) , a delegation comprising Umar’s mother, sister and at least one Malaysian opposition MP visited the former policeman inside Villawood detention centre.The visit was approved by Serco, the contractors responsible for running Australia’s detention centres.The centre was at the time under the control of the Immigration Department.Border Force officials found out about the visit after the fact and are understood to have become highly alarmed amid concerns Umar may be vulnerable to intimidation or coercion. However, Sirul's mother was happy for her son to remain in Australia : He makes a cup of black tea for myself and his mother, Piah Samat, who is all of five foot tall...

by Ganesh Sahathevan Readers are reminded that the main beneficiary of all this money spoken of by A merick Sidhu,a highly regarded member of the    Malaysian Bar is a Malaysian  police commando held in the highest security section of Villawood: You (Sirul Azhar) were about to (prepare a statement in support of a protection visa) until a hurriedly gathered posse of advisors from Malaysia descended on Villawood to persuade you otherwise. I am reliably advised that amongst this posse were three Special Branch officers from Bukit Aman(Malaysian Police HQ). They were in contact with a “Datuk” ( believed to be one Ganasan Narianasamy,a former employee of the Supreme Court NSW Registry ) in Sydney who was then entrusted with the task of looking after your financial affairs and those of your son (who is still in Australia),and to identify a AU$1 million property into which you would move once your visa was granted, all to be financed by a certain party. Readers can decide for t...

by Ganesh Sahathevan Australian migration agent Robert Chelliah's statement to The Australian with regards the matter of Villawood detainee Sirul Azhar: "..I will be forced to reveal the nature of conversations he had with me and that we had with his Malaysian lawyers..":; repeated in his own words in an email (copied below) to Steven Gan of Malaysiakini and other media : “Should my professional assistance to Sirul gets politicised than  I would have to reveal some aspects of my conversation with Sirul  in order to  protect my professional integrity, that has withstood the span of 26 years, on the nature of the  advice I gave Sirul..” is an admission that not all has been revealed to the Minister and Department  Of Immigration in the matter of Sirul's application for a protection visa. As for his claim  to some form of professional privilege, suffice to say that a call girl with clients in the  legal profession  has  a batter chance of succes...

by Ganesh Sahathevan Amanda Hodge of The Australian reported on 15 February 2016: Robert Chelliah, the Australian migration consultant for Sirul Azhar Umar, yesterday threatened to reveal the extent of access high-ranking Malaysian officials have been granted to Sirul inside Villawood if he is among five people named by the former commando as trying to coerce him into linking Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak to his crime. Mr Chelliah told The Australian yesterday that if Sirul tried to “politicise my profes­sional help then the gloves will be off. I will be forced to reveal the nature of conversations he had with me and that we had with his Malaysian lawyers … I would have thought a platform would not be freely granted to a person in ­detention to propagate his version of the story. If the Department of Immig­ration does not know the extent of Sirul’s freedom of communication with the outside world … they would be derelict in their duty. ”  The problem for Mr Chelliah , given h...
