What Is Mahathir Daim Up To On Osa Of Cep Report

---

The CEP report was promised to be made public by Tun Daim when CEP was formed. By the time it was completed, Daim passed the buck to Mahathir.

Lim Kit Siang insisted on the CEP report made to the Prime Minister be made public. His DAP underlings, Deputy Minister Simon Simm repeated the same request. PKR MP Abdullah Sani requested its disclosure.

From Mahathir's refusal to make it public to the announcement to make it OSA, it raise the suspicion that Mahathir and Daim is up to no good.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government has no intention of making the findings of the Council of Eminent Persons' (CEP) 100-day report public and has, in fact, placed it under the Official Secret Act (OSA), Parliament heard on Thursday (March 28).

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohamed Hanipa Maidin said the report was currently protected under OSA.

"At the moment, it has only been submitted to the Prime Minister, and the government has no intention to make the findings public," he said in reply to a supplementary question from Wong Kah Woh, Pakatan's MP for Ipoh Timur, during Question Time.

Wong had asked the government whether it had any intention of releasing the CEP report findings, and to allow it to be debated in public.

Mohamed Hanipa explained that the report needed to be protected, saying that "many countries also needed it."

"Maybe some will ask why we classified it under OSA, but many other countries also needed it.

Previously, we were not totally against the OSA, but we were angry at the abuse, protecting corruption, power abuse and injustices under OSA.

"When some people raise issues involving corruption, power abuse and injustice, they were detained and charged in court under OSA.

"But now, we really want to protect the problems or confidential and sensitive information. This is the difference between us and the previous government," he said.

Many politicians and civil society groups, such as the G25 group of eminent Malays and electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0, have asked for the report to be made public.

In August, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said CEP’s role was to investigate and inform him of their findings, and that the report might not be made public.

Mohamed Hanipa said the CEP had previously set up special teams to look into several issues, including megaprojects such as the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project.

"Aside from that the Institutional Reforms Committee (IRC), which was suggested by the CEP, were among the government's commitment to restore public confidence towards key public institutions," he said.

To the question of whether the government had any intention to appoint former CEP members as mentors of ministries, Mohamed Hanipa said no decisions had been made by the government.

"This is because, Insya-Allah, we are learning very fast. I would also congratulate the opposition for quickly learning the ropes of becoming an effective opposition," he said.--------------

From the report, it gives the impression that Hanipa Maidin is defensive argument, and compliments of opposition indicate he too is not comfortable with the decision.

The CEP report is believed to be the "guiding principle" for cabinet members to put together policies.


With many characters like Dr Muhammad Khalid. Endie Shazli Akbar Ali and Faris Rabidin repeatedly seen in supporting roles for Daim and Mahathir at PMO, CEP and NEAC 2.0, the actions of NEAC 2.0 will be along CEP report.

The CEP report will affect the social, economic and political life of all Malaysians and the future of the country. There is no reason for Mahathir and Daim to escape public scrutiny.


That is unless Mahathir and Daim have something to hide of their intentions.

It is worrisome that the leading players of CEP are businessmen and corporate businessmen that could easily out-manouvre the macro thinking of bankers and economists and gainfully take advantage of the business opportunity out of the policies and actions they crafted.

Robert Kuok was recently given marketing "monopoly" on marketing of Malaysian oil palm to China.


In the same note Nurul took issue with the breaking of election manifesto for transparency for PAC Chairmanship being held by a crossed over former BN, Nurul Izzah should voice out against the secrecy and suspicious manner Mahathir is conducting the government's affair.

It is the return of opacity in the dealings of Mahathir and Daim.


The last time around corruption, cronyism and nepotism was rampant under the guise of privatisation to bring about efficiency in government services and Bumiputera economic agenda.

By the end of his term. Mahathir robbed back the privatised entity and few are not paid till today in the hundred of billion.

This time around GLCs and public trust and savings fund will likely be broken up and liquidated for cronies and families to seize on the prized corporate jewels.

Their target are Khazanah, Tabung Haji, PNB, Felda, Felcra, LTAT. and the public companies owned by all these fund.

So much for Daim claiming not much to time to help Melayu and need be done in a hurry. They are robbing institutions set-up to safeguard Malay economic interest.

A matter of time EPF and the savings for retirements of Chinese and all Malaysians too will be raided!

The excuse is trumped up lies on last government's amassed debt figure, borrowings of 1MDB, Dato Najib's policies and fugitive Jho Loh.


This video clipping exhibit Lim Guan Eng's insecurity of being exposed of the government's 1 trillion debt lie he and Tony Pua created.

This time it would leave the country and rakyat impoverished and the government's coffer dependent on these monopolies.

They will call the shot on everything!
