More exclusive leaks on the biggest heist in the world

Orb Solutions - Total Bill Tops RM68 Million! EXCLUSIVE
21 May 2017 14 comments

Sarawak Report has obtained further details on the expenditures made by Najib Razak on a mysterious company named Orb Solutions from money which he stole from 1MDB.

It was originally understood that Orb, which developed an App detailing ‘news and achievements’ by Najib Razak, received RM2 million for the job.  However, we have now been passed details of at least 24 separate payments made to the company between 2011 and 2014 totalling a staggering RM68 million.

Given that this was all public money, paid from accounts in the name of Najib Razak which were funded by 1MDB, more information should surely have been obtained by investigators into the purpose of Orb Solutions Sdn Bhd?

Just some of the payments listed for Orb Solutions…

The main Director and registered shareholder of KL registered Orb Solutions Sdn Bhd, Amhari Nazaruddin, has been with the company since its incorporation in 2010, not long after Najib became PM (and the first of the 1MDB money was stolen through the PetroSaudi joint venture).

Astonishingly, Nazaruddin is himself a public servant based in the Prime Minister’s Office.  He was joined by a second director in 2015, a senior Astra executive named Har Kok Kit, who is now registered as a 50% shareholder.

PM’s civil servant received RM68 million into his company paid from 1MDB stolen funds

Nazaruddin describes himself as a ‘Special Officer to the Prime Minister’, who works directly with Najib and who is also a Director of the Economic Division.  He explains he has a special interest in “Communications, Media, Political Campaigns and Digital Communication”,which would appear to be a main focus of Orb Solutions.

So, what on earth exactly was all that public money ploughed into Orb Solutions for?

A major obsession of the Najib premiership has certainly appeared to have been the promotion of positive propaganda on behalf of the Prime Minister, whilst at the same time supporting ‘Black PR’ campaigns against his perceived adversaries, which he frequently describes as ‘Media Warfare’ and ‘Cybertrooping’.

Although, Najib openly admits to the practice of ‘Cybertrooping’, very little of this sphere of activity is ever conducted in an open and legitimate fashion.  Anonymous attacks, deliberate disinformation, defamation and negative comments are the stock in trade of these campaigns and all these tactics have poured out of Malaysia against government critics (including Sarawak Report) in recent years.

So is it this form of covert activity what Orb Communications has been fed such staggering sums of money to orchestrate?  It is certainly time we learnt more about the exact purpose of this company hired by Najib at such public expense out of misappropriated cash.

Mr Nazaruddin should be further grilled by the Public Accounts Committee (and investigators) to explain how he as a civil servant received such vast sums of money from his direct boss into his own private company of which he is the formal shareholder.

He should also be probed over moonlighting with this major private enterprise alongside his official public job, unless of course he was fronting for his boss?  Mr Nazaruddin’s closeness to the Prime Minister was publicly highlighted just last month when ‘well placed Malaysian inside sources’ told the Straits Times that he was instrumental in framing the controversial settlement with IPIC over money owed due to 1MDB:

“The executive disclosed that that other key players in the negotiations included Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin, who is a senior advisor to Mr Najib, and senior officials from Abu Dhabi’s Executive Affairs Authority, a special government agency that provides strategic advice to the Gulf state’s rulers.” [Straits Times]

With evidence like this unearthed by the MACC and other Task Force investigations Malaysians have a right to once again ask what on earth did AG Apandi think he was doing trying to close down the investigation in to 1MDB’s stolen money?

Why bother when God is not even bothered about the Malays as must be scratching God’s head where God went wrong them

‘TO BE MALAY IS TO BE BAD LAZY & CORRUPT, SO WE HAVE TO BE MUSLIM’ : BEING MALAY IS NO LONGER ENOUGH – STUDY
Politics | May 22, 2017 by | 0 Comments
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
LAST year, we undertook a project to meet with Malay-Muslim youth and to find out how they felt about their identities as Malays and Muslims. The project is still ongoing.

What started out as a project based on our curiosity morphed into something bigger – in fact, we were quite naive when we first started out.

It was our first IMAN Research (IMAN) project, and we wanted to explore Peninsular Malaysia. Simply put, we just wanted to know what it meant to be young, Malay and Muslim.

And so we launched our Assalamualaikum Project. We began with 30 participants from Bangi, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Gombak, Kedah and Terengganu. Both sexes participated equally, and we discovered many things – Malay youth wherever they are from are willing and wanting to discuss sensitive issues, and are articulate. They may be shy at first, but are not meek about voicing their feelings about politics, religion and race.

So what did we discover?
Among many things that knocked us back for six, are the following:

Resentment and distrust against non-Malays’ economic advancement, and increasingly, of other Malays’ success.

While most have an ideal view of an Islamic state, this is not demonstrated into a revolutionary zeal à la ISIS propaganda. Most do not agree with the violence. However, they are pulled into two directions: the violence may be abhorrent but DAESH are their Muslim brothers and sisters. They have to… sort of support them, no?

“Being Malay is equatable to being bad, lazy, corrupt. So the only (identity) we have is being a Muslim.”

This statement got us stumped, but we resumed our questioning. Why did they feel this way? And why were these sentiments the same across the board? Trust fund babies of Taman Tun Dr Ismail, working-class young Malays of Gombak, aspiring middle-class professionals in Bangi and not forgetting the youth we met in Kedah and Terenganu – they all said the same thing.

They felt as if they were under siege. They have been told at school, in college and university, by their families and teachers that everyone hated them for being Malay. No matter how hard they worked and did their best to dispel the negative perception others had of the race, it was not good enough.

Also, if the Malays acted and believed in Islamic principles, there would be no corruption, no political malaise in this country at all. Politicians talk and tout Malay rights, but Malaysia is in a mess. And that can be solved by implementing shariah law in Malaysia.

Even if they themselves were not too sure what hudud was all about.



This conversation we are having with youths is still ongoing. I had just come back from Johor Baru on the invitation of Bait Al Amanah, a Johor think-tank, and we have just finished a couple of focus group discussions with college students. While the responses were more varied, and this could be due to the fact that they were university students studying political science and literature, the same sentiments kept coming out.

This new batch we met all said that they had a slim future – and with more and more unemployed graduates in the market, what could they turn to?

To say it would be religion – even they themselves were conflicted, and yet, all they had for an identity was that of a Muslim.

Their sentiments, if we are able to summarise it at this stage, were that they were young, Malay and Muslim. They were feeling more and more disempowered and disenchanted by their own country every day. They may not agree with ISIS/DAESH, but they turn to one identity because that is all they have to give them hope for a future. – May 22, 2017.

BATTLE OVER ROSMAH’S BODY FAT INTENSIFIES: LATEST ‘CHEERLEADER’ KHAIRY UPSET WITH DR M FOR SAYING HIS BOSS’ WIFE SO FAT ‘SHE WALKS LIKE A GEARBOX’

Khairy Jamaluddin has criticised Dr Mahathir Mohamad for “fat shaming” a woman during his recent speech in Kedah.

“Bet he gets a free pass for fat shaming a woman. Free pass. All day, everyday,” said the youth and sports minister on Twitter.


The tweet included a link to a video which contained an excerpt of Mahathir’s speech in Kubang Pasu on May 16.

In the video, Mahathir, who is also Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) chairperson, said that he is slim because he does not “makan rasuah” (take bribes).

“I do not want to become fat like some people… like someone’s wife. When she walks, it’s like a gearbox,” he said, waving his arms up and down to mimick how the person walked.

Though he did not mention names, it appeared that he was referring to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s wife Rosmah Mansor.

In an obvious referrence to Najib, Mahathir said he wanted “this person” to quit, but this person has refused to do so.

“If he does not want to quit, what do we do? We ensure he loses in the next election,” he added.

Bersatu Youth chief Syed Saddiq Syed Rahman later responded to Khairy’s tweet, agreeing that Mahathir should not have made such remarks.

However, he questioned why Khairy did not speak up when Umno politicians made disparaging remarks against women.

“Mahathir should not have said that, even as a joke.

“May I ask, where were you (Khairy) when your colleagues (Federal Territories Minister) Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and MP rape shamed women as a whole,” he tweeted.

Tengku Adnan had said on May 17 that women who wish to avoid being harassed in public should dress in a shabby manner.

He had said this during a Transformasi Nasional 2050 (TN50) dialogue in Bandar Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur, in response to a woman who expressed concern about public safety.

“It’s because you’re so beautiful. The next time you go out, wear more comot (shabby) clothes,” he had quipped, after the woman expressed concern about robberies, kidnapping and being disturbed in public.

In early April, Tasek Gelugor MP Shabudin Yahaya had also caused an uproar when he said in Parliament that a rapist marrying his victim could be a remedy for social ills.

The MP pointed out that there was no law preventing those who had been raped from marrying their rapists.

He had also said that girls under 16 could marry under Islamic law, as long as they were granted leave by the syariah court.

Page from the Past - NOBODY WILL NOTICE, LAH! THE CRAZY STORY OF HOW A MALAYSIAN ‘1-CENT THIEF’ BECAME MILLIONAIRE

You’ve heard the peribahasa “sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit”, the line that parents and teachers always like to use to instill the habit of saving money and all that nilai-nilai murni stuff we learnt in Moral class.

This Malaysian guy applied the same principle, except in a not so moral way. Instead of saving up his own money, he STOLE money from other people, little by little, until he became a MILLIONAIRE! People knew him as the 1-cent thief although he didn’t actually steal one cents. That part of the story is more of an urban myth. If he did though, that would be a more amazing story. Such dedication! Too bad the 1 cent is now defunct, but on the bright side, 5 cents faster to reach 1 million compared to 1 cent.

malaysia 1 cent sen

This is the crazy story of how he managed to pull off such a stunt…

He started out a regular bank executive, until he went for computer training

It began when 25-year-old Aman Shah Ahmad was working at Hock Hua Bank, along Jalan Raja Laut, KL, as a young executive in 1990. (A bit of background info on Hock Hua Bank… it was established in 1951, registered in Sarawak, but then in 2001 it was absorbed by Public Bank.)


Today this is the only remnant of Hock Hua Bank. Image from koleksijohari.com
Aman was described by his buds as a friendly guy, who liked meeting new people, and loved to joke AAAND heloved fast cars – it was this passion that got him caught later! According to a newspaper clipping, he was Money Market Processing Department Chief, earning about RM1,800 a month. Frankly, it’s quite hard to find information about him on Google, so we relied on old newspaper clippings people uploaded on the internet.

The former accounting student from Universiti Teknologi MARA was quite an efficient employee and soon he was trusted to manage customer accounts. He didn’t dive right into crime at first, but all that changed when the bank sent him for… computer training. It was then that he learned the ins and outs of computer banking and without anyone suspecting, hatched a genius plan that fooled even Bank Negara!

Armed with computer knowledge and his new role as head of the department that processed Bank Negara’s Sistem Pemindahan Elektronik Untuk Dana dan Sekuriti (SPEEDS) aka the fund and transfer system, he set SPEEDS to transfer money every day from every customer account in Hock Hua Bank into his own account in Bank Bumiputra. And he successfully did this until he amassed:



RM4.1 million. .He bought 6 luxury cars and openly displayed them in Bukit Bintang


After Aman became rich from other people’s money, he left Hock Hua Bank to open his own advertising company, Bistro, near KL. So what next? Spend the money, duhh. He chose to park his cash in automobiles. You know, if you save RM10 a day, you could buy a Perodua Axia SE Edition in 10 years… provided prices haven’t inflated by then or they stop producing Axia. But he wasn’t content to buy a modest car, nope it had to be LUXURY cars for him,fulfilling his dream since high school.

He bought a Lamborghini Countach at RM1.3 mill, Mercedes Benz 300SL at RM502,000, Mercedes Benz 300E at RM192,000, Porsche 928 S4 at RM638,000, Porsche Carrera at RM350,000, and BMW 329i at RM68,000!! To give a better perspective on these purchases, a Proton Saga cost only about RM30,000 at the time.

The Lambo and Porsche Carrera were specially flown in from London, whereas the BMW 329i was a used car. He paid for all of them by cash. Three of them were unregistered and he didn’t have to pay import tax, while two were registered under his name, and another was registered to his girlfriend, Raha V V Aboo. What an odd name.

To protect his unusual assets, Aman parked his luxury cars at an exhibition centre at Plaza Bukit Bintang and would take them out for a spin whenever he wanted to. He was smart not to park them at his home, or surely the neighbours would start asking questions.

As if that wasn’t flashy enough, he appeared on national TV


We could only find the opening sequence of Sekapur Sirih, not the episode with Aman in it. Screenshot from Khairul Hazim Zainudin on YouTube
This guy’s bravado knows no bounds. You would think if he was careful not to keep his 6 luxury cars at home, he would be careful not to appear in the limelight, but when TV3’s talk show Sekapur Sirih invited him to the programme, he agreed to go on.

In that episode, he talked about his fancy rides. As it happens, his former manager at Hock Hua Bank watched the episode and that was the beginning of the end of his dream life, dun dun dunnnn. Immediately, Mr. Manager (he’s not named in the newspaper report) smelled something fishy about Aman’s lifestyle, so the following day, he did some internal audits and was shocked by what he discovered – RM4.1 million disappeared from the bank customers’ accounts.

The manager lodged a police report at Campbell Police Station (otherwise known as Dang Wangi Police Station) on 8 June 1990. Three days later, the police arrested Aman Shah Ahmad at a condominium in Bangsar (11 June). Game over!




The Sessions Court found him guilty of criminal breach of trust under Section 408 of the Penal Code on seven occasions, between 26 January to 27 March 1990. Judge Haji Muhammad Noor Abdullah sentenced him to five years jail. By this time, Aman was 26 years old. Throughout the court trial, he chose to remain silent and he appeared calm when the sentence was read. The small courtroom was packed with his family members.

In defending him, Aman’s lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said his client was not himself ever since he got into an automobile accident in 1989, where he sustained head injuries. “According to his father, after recovering from his accident Aman Shah entertained grandiose ideas of owning a jet plane.” But then his friends said he memang liked fast cars from high school though.

After he was arrested he couldn’t even post bail

Sadly, with all the wealth he acquired through criminal means, Aman couldn’t even post bail which was set at RM200,000 by the judge. Finally he was sent to Pudu Prison (now demolished).

“Most young people tend to show off if they hold responsible positions. They are attracted to ‘glamour’ like moths are drawn to light and it is no surprise that some of them come to a sad end. Aman Shah’s mentality and personality are that of a young person. He held a responsible post in the bank and he wanted to show off.” – Judge Haji Muhammad Noor in this newspaper clipping
This case was the talk of the town in the 90s, but we don’t know what happened to Aman after that. No news of his release from prison after five years.

He is not the first and only bank personnel to have stolen from his workplace. Bank Negara clerk Harun Osman was jailed five years and fined RM50,000 for stealing RM22.2 million in May 1989. A lagi high profile case is the one of former Bumiputra Malaysia Finance (BMF) Chief Lorrain Esme Osman who was charged with 39 counts of fraud and corruption relating to US$800 million (RM2.5 billion then) between December 1979 and October 1983. He served only one year in jail.

Lockheed pitches new F-22 models to boost the life of its stealth coating

By: Valerie Insinna, May 22, 2017

WASHINGTON — Lockheed Martin has proposed doing additional maintenance work on F-22s in the hopes of lengthening the life of the fighter’s low observable coating.

Under the current contract, Lockheed is charged with refurbishing the low observable (LO) coating on the inlets of 10 F-22s per year at its facility in Marietta, Georgia, while the U.S. Air Force recoats F-22 inlets at the base in Ogden, Utah, using its own organic maintainer staff.

However, the company believes it can get a head start on work planned for 2019, when the leading edges of the aircraft will need to be recoated, with a number of near-term modifications to keep the existing coating in good shape, John Cottam, the company’s F-22 deputy program manager told Defense News.

Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor
Stealth aircraft
The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force. Wikipedia
Top speed: 1,498 mph
Program cost: US$66.7 billion as of 2011
Number built: 195 (8 test and 187 operational aircraft)
Unit cost: US$150 million (flyaway cost for FY2009)
Engine type: Pratt & Whitney F119
Developed into: Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA; Lockheed Martin FB-22
Developed from: Lockheed YF-22

Lockheed submitted its proposal for additional F-22 work in late April and is awaiting a decision from the U.S. Air Force on whether to move forward with any of the suggested work.

One of the modifications involves applying a product called Mighty Tough Boot to the aircraft, which fills gaps on the surface of an F-22 that could cause the aircraft to be seen on radar, Cottam said.

“The gaps on an airplane are what raises the signature of an airplane, so by putting these coatings or these gap fillers into the airplane, you’re helping the low observability of the airplane,” he said. “It reduces the amount of corners and things that are picked up by radar.”

From 2014 to 2016, the F-22’s mission capable rate has fallen from almost 73 percent to 60 percent. One contributing factor is the breakdown of the Raptor’s stealth coating, Col. Michael Lawrence, chief of the maintenance division in the Air Force’s directorate of logistics, said in a March interview with Defense News’ sister publication Air Force Times.



“Across the entire F-22 fleet, we’re experiencing low observable coating reversion problems. Basically, in high flow areas, what’s essentially happening is there’s a gradual deterioration of the coatings,” he said. “If the LO coatings aren’t doing what we need them to do, then the platform loses its ability to do its primary mission, which is get behind enemy lines without detection.”

However, Lockheed and the U.S. Air Force had always expected the LO coating to gradually degrade, and it is doing so on pace with the company’s predictions, Cottam said. He likened the LO coating deterioration to a painted fence post that is exposed to the elements.

“If you leave it out in the sun long enough, eventually that paint is going to crack, and if you don’t do anything to fix it when it cracks, eventually it’s going to start to peel off in chunks,” he said. “In this case we knew it was going to occur about this time in the aircraft’s life, [and] we are starting to see the coatings on the airplane start to wrinkle and crack just like you would the paint.”

A stealth jet’s inlets are the most critical part of the plane to recoat because, if the LO coating begins flaking off, it could be ingested by the engine, causing permanent damage.

“When we do these fixes to the inlets, and we will continue this as we do the edges, we’re actually using a different compound than we had used on the production airplanes, which has significantly stronger, lasts much longer, so it’s going to be giving the Air Force a longer time in the next interval where this might become a problem,” Cottam said.



Although both the F-22 and F-35 incorporate low observable technologies, the composition of the LO coatings are completely different and require separate application processes.

“We would very much like to go towards, as best we can, the way the F-35 coats their airplanes for a number of reasons,” he said. A single or more similar coating would lower material costs, enable the Air Force to train one set of maintainers to sustain the coating and simplify the inventory.

“If we could get closer to something common, it would be a great savings. We’re trying to work that. Our engineers are very busy trying to see where that is possible.”

Top US Air Force general opposes formation of separate 'Space Corps'

By: Valerie Insinna, May 18, 2017

WASHINGTON — While the U.S. Air Force needs to change the way it thinks about space operations, creating a separate “Space Corps” isn’t the right answer, at least right now, the service’s top general said Wednesday.

The U.S. Air Force is in the midst of a major strategic shift from seeing space as a “benign environment” to a “war-fighting domain” where adversaries could seek to start a war or engage in combat, Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein told lawmakers during a panel Monday.

Goldfein argued that the service’s focus should be on ensuring it can meld space operations with the rest of the war-fighting domains. The Air Force needs to figure out how it can apply its existing tactics, techniques and procedures in space instead of seeing it merely as an area from which to “report, sense and monitor.”

“Anything that separates space and makes it unique and different, relative to all of the war-fighting missions that we perform that are reliant on space, I don't think believe that will move us in the right direction at this time,” he said in a Senate Armed Services Committee strategic forces subcommittee hearing.

Last month, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., called for the creation of a separate “Space Corps” that would be able to focus all of its attention on training, organizing and equipping in space.

Rogers pointed out that the U.S. Air Force has 12 core functions, and space makes up only one of those. Furthermore, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army have their own stovepiped space capabilities and organizations, creating a fragmented, overly bureaucratic enterprise.


“Space must be a priority, and it can’t be one if you jump out of bed in the morning thinking about fighters and bombers first,” he said then, according to prepared remarks.

But Goldfein said his big concern is that a major organizational transition could slow down the changes the U.S. Air Force needs to make on the operational side to ensure that it is prepared to — if necessary — engage in a war that has extended into space.

“Whether there's a time in our future when we want to take a look at this again, I would say that we probably ought to keep that dialogue open,” he said. "But right now, I think it would actually move us in the wrong direction."

The Government Accountability Office stated in a May 17 report that Defense Department space programs continue to face cost and schedule problems and that the continued fragmentation of the space enterprise contributes to those issues.

Cristina Chaplain, author of the GAO report, told lawmakers that she understood Goldfein’s reluctance to pursue a Space Corps and that Congress should take into account concerns about unintended effects to space operations before pursuing a sweeping reorganization.

“But I will say that the solutions tried to date that don't separate space as people think it should be separated, haven't worked very well,” she said. “And the reasons that people in these prior studies and even today believe there needs to be some kind of segmentation is to protect the space budget, is to leverage expertise for the workforce and it's to really clearly designate who is in charge. So if it's not going to be [a Space Corps] it needs to be some kind of solution that does those things."

U.S. Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, whose first day on the job included testifying at the hearing, said the 2018 budget request would include a bump to space funding. As the Pentagon’s principal space adviser, she also plans to review proposed changes to the Air Force’s space organization.  

“I want to go through them in detail and analyze them and make sure that we’ve got this right, but there has been considerable staff work done on how do we organize effectively to support the war fighter,” she told reporters after the hearing.
