These days every ‘bright idea’ is promoted in the same way, especially in Sarawak. Each money-spinning project is now championed as ‘holistic’, ‘sustainable’, ‘clean’, ‘eco-friendly’ and ‘renewable’, at least according to the BS Greenwash that wraps around every destructive, dirty, greedy idea designed to enrich the few and do nothing for anyone else. On the…

Did The Tories Biggest Ever Donation Come From Sanction Busting Profits Made In Russia?
When wealthy individuals wade into public life by making game-changing donations to political parties or campaigns (usually in the expectation of becoming a Lord and engaging in the legislative process directly) they invite scrutiny. This scrutiny is often objected to with outrage by such individuals and some have been known to respond with thin-skinned defamation…
Final Appeal Court Slams Sarawak’s Land Grab Tactics And Hints At The Elephant In The Room – CORRUPTION
To deprive the natives of their NCR over the land without compensation being paid to the natives whose forbears had been on the land under their system of customary laws long before anyone of us set foot on the soil, should be unheard of after nearly 60 years of statehood. We are conscious of the…
Federal Court Slams Sarawak’s Land Grab Tactics But Can Only Hint At The Elephant In The Room – CORRUPTION

PR Cat & Mouse Games By Pro-Samling ‘Sustainability NGO’, APS?
There is very little to find on the newly created website for the alleged Indigenous People’s NGO, ‘Advokasi Primbumi Sarawak’ (APS). The About Us page claims “APS is a non-government organisation set up to champion sustainable forest management and safeguard the interest of native communities in Sarawak.” This mission statement goes on to cite the…
Dirty Tricks By Samling’s PR Department?
When it comes to ripping out forests, dodging environmental restrictions and employing heavy handed tactics towards indigenous protests, the global timber giant, Samling, leads the field. However, when it gets to the subtler arts of communication, specifically disinformation known as ‘Black PR’, the Sarawak loggers appear out of their depth, like many of their ilk….

The delay came despite the fact, as the prosecutors themselves point out, “The US…
Malaysia And Modern Slavery – ‘PM Must Take Control’
The existence of modern slavery is a shocking truth and the world is rightly waking up to it. Public opinion is starting to put pressure on the global supply chains and consumer brands to prove they are not contaminated by this disgraceful practice. Malaysia faces a reputation disaster unless it wakes up too. The country’s huge…
Najib Paid Millions But Didn’t Get His Golf Game With Trump!

How Najib Framed His 1MDB Cover Up Scheme At The Highest Levels In China
Back in 2020, the finance ministry’s Tony Pua MP requested China, in view of its strong ‘anti-corruption’ stance, to assist Malaysia in investigating the 1MDB cover-up stage that had involved the theft of several more billion dollars through projects issued by the previous PM/MOF, Najib Razak, to major Chinese state-owned companies. The money was then…

How Jho Low Illegally Funded Obama’s 2012 Presidential Campaign Through Rap Star Pras Michel & His Hollywood Pals!
When, back in 2015, Sarawak Report flagged up suspicious payments that were plainly funded by 1MDB cash into Democrat campaigns for the Senate during the previous year, we guessed there was a wider story, especially given links we traced to Jho Low’s star associate, Pras Michel, a singer with the Fugees. However, we could not…

Who Influences The Real Influencers?
The Andrew Taits of this world are of deep concern, yet relatively easy to identify and hold to account. Billionaire think tank donors, political strategists and media moguls, on the other hand, who hold certain ministers and politicians enthralled like gasping teenagers, are subject to far less scrutiny, despite the uber-influence they wield. For example,…

KTS Says “Not Us”!
Reporting on the latest round of pillage and civic unrest provoked in Baram by loggers, Sarawak Report referred in an earlier article to the understanding by angry locals that the company GT Interhill is co-owned by the Hii family’s Interhill Group and also the Lau Family’s GT Plywood.
