1Malaysia Development Berhad Fraud Case – Malaysian Police Insists Low Taek Jho Hiding in Macau

The Inspector-General of Police of the Royal Malaysia Police (#PDRM) Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador recently stated that the mastermind behind the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (#1MDB) fraud case and wealthy Chinese businessman Low Taek Jho was hiding in Macau.

PDRM accused Chinese law enforcement agencies of providing asylum to him and causing many obstructions in the extradition process. The Chinese Embassy in Malaysia and the Macau Government subsequently denied the claims. The Office of the Secretary for Security of Macau issued a statement saying that PDRM unilaterally claimed that Low was in Macau and that it was inconsistent with the facts.

Abdul Hamid pointed out that "the Macau police should take this matter seriously"

According to foreign news reports on Aug 7, Abdul Hamid reiterated that Low was hiding in Macau. Speaking about requesting the foreign police to arrest a criminal, he asked, "Did we do anything wrong? If they asked for our cooperation, we would also assist." He believed that it should be in the “nature” of police to bring criminals to justice. He emphasized that this is a crime involving RM50 billion, not a political feud.

Abdul Hami pointed out, "Low has developed business in Macau with almost no constraints. His family is there. Is it really that difficult to investigate into their whereabouts?" He said that since PDRM has submitted an Interpol red alert calling for police everywhere to assist in tracing Low’s whereabouts, “Macau police should take this matter seriously and uphold a spirit of mutual assistance, instead of shirking responsibilities."

Malaysia Refuses to Extradite Uyghurs to China. Scholar Says Malaysia’s Move Might Anger Beijing

Reuters reported that the Malaysian government declared its stance in September this year to firmly refuse extraditing Uyghur refugees to China. South China Morning Post reported on November 15 that the move could drive Uyghurs to seek refuge in Southeast Asian Muslim countries. The report also said that this move represented Malaysia’s declaration of Uyghurs’ status for the first time, and contrasted its neighbouring country Indonesia. A professor from George Washington University has said, “This is likely to anger Beijing, but it is a responsible move.”

The report said that the government of Malaysia, a country with the majority of its population being Muslims, mentioned in a response to the Parliament in September that even if requests were to come directly from Beijing, they would not repatriate Uyghurs who have sought refuge in Malaysia. This move represented Malaysia’s declaration of Uyghur’s status for the first time, and contrasted its neighbouring country Indonesia. Last month, Indonesia repatriated three Uyghurs back to China.

Cancelled $10.5bn Malaysia port project plays down China role

The Melaka Gateway project is a $10.5 billion project of a vast artificial island off the coast of Malaysia. In late November authorities cancelled land reclamation of this project awarded to KAJ Development after four years of “no development”.

The massive project was awarded to KAJ, a Malaysian-registered and -owned developer, in 2016 during the administration of former Prime Minister Najib Razak. The following year, the company roped in Chinese companies PowerChina International Group which is an entity of China’s state-owned, Shenzhen Yantian Port Group and Rizhao Port Group to develop the project jointly.

A high-ranking state government official told Nikkei Asia that KAJ’s failure to acknowledge the extent of Chinese involvement in the development led to it being labelled a “China project” among state authorities.

It is quite clear what #CCP will do if #USA continues to handle it with "strategic patience". But in case it isn't clear, just look at what Hitler did after peace talks with Chamberlain. 🙃

China-Russia-Iran.... why don't I like the sound of this alliance? #CCP is trying to buy friends, do the governments and people of all these countries know that friendships are built on common principles and beliefs and not money???

China outspends US in ASEAN investment blitz

China plans to open a big solar panel module plant in Malaysia and build a 580 km highway in Laos, part of a charm offensive as the U.S. steps up efforts to counter Beijing's influence in Southeast Asia.

The plant will be built by Chinese solar power giant Risen Energy, which has agreed to invest 42.2 billion ringgit ($10.1 billion) in the photovoltaic industry in Malaysia, the nation's Ministry of International Trade and Industry announced June 24.

The day before, China held an online meeting with cabinet ministers of partner countries in its Belt and Road infrastructure initiative. Beijing offered COVID-19 vaccines and cooperation as these nations struggle to shift to low-carbon economies. Risen Energy's investment decision likely reflected the wishes of Beijing policymakers.

Will China be able to join? Japan and Australia has the ability to block it; but it depends on other members too.

Short intro to the South China Sea issue - when the bully keep infringing other’s territory.

FYI these aren't the entire story, but the key takeaway is: a lot of countries is involved, and any conflict is bound to be huge.

Despite being deterred, China still claims an area known as the "nine-dash line" (approx 90% of the South China Sea) and backed its claim with island-building, patrols, and expansion of military presence.

Chinese rocket falls to Earth, NASA says Beijing did not share information


//A Chinese rocket fell back to Earth on Saturday [July 31, 2022] over the Indian Ocean but Nasa said Beijing had not shared the "specific trajectory information" needed to know where possible debris might fall.

US Space Command saidthe Long March 5B rocket re-entered over the Indian Ocean at approximately 12.45pm EDT Saturday (1645 GMT, July 31, 2022), but referred questions about "reentry’s technical aspects such as potential debris dispersal impact location" to China.

"All spacefaring nations should follow established best practices and do their part to share this type of information in advance to allow reliable predictions of potential debris impact risk," NASA administrator Bill Nelson said. "Doing so is critical to the responsible use of space and to ensure the safety of people here on Earth."//
