It makes a lot of sense that the most corrupt you are the most votes you will receive from UMNO members!

That is because less than 2,000 sharks (UMNO Division Heads) are responsible for the appointment of their Leader shark. After the appointment has been made, all the sharks will group together and then have a frenzy feeding off the spoils of the nation!

Our Prime Minister is not even decided by the ordinary malays and ordinary citizens of the country but by a small group of well patronaged, well fed and corrupt UMNO malays. It is no wonder that UMNO leaders are patronised by sons and cronies of ex-Prime Ministers rather than picked on their merits! Thus we have Mukhris, Hishammuddin, Khairy, Najib and the like being voted into power. It is just a rotation of a small group of people who have a perpetual dip in the honey pot. This goes round and round until the country is sucked dry or when the rakyat eventually wakes up and boot them out!

Do these UMNO division leaders care about whether their leader is upright? Are they concerned about the plight of the ordinary malays? No,they just care for themselves - they are like Ali Baba and forty thieves; their concern is to appoint a head thief who could share the loot with the rest of the thieves. Any one challenging on their ill gotten spoils will be branded as anti-malays or challenging the rights of malays and sent off to Kamunting or outlawed!

And, boy, this head shark is indeed voracious! Before he has been appointed to be the head shark, he has already been seen as having a voracious appetite - chomping on all the biggest and juiciest national defense contracts, public listed companies and Government linked companies! He has gotten rid of all his competition - Bala, Altantuya, Baginda Razak, Raja Petra and even Badawi!

I wonder what his appetite will be when he eventually becomes the head shark? No wonder, when he assumed the most sought after post of Finance Minister he has already indicated that all the fat, juicy projects proposed in the 2009 budget will be retained!

Corruption at its audacious best by Najis. How else can one explain the astronomical price difference between the Eurocopter's Cougar copters purchase by Brazil and Malaysia. Brazil paid RM82.9 million for each Cougar but Malaysia paid RM193 million for each.

This blood sucker of the worst kind is only interested in bleeding the nation to enrich himself and everyone can see his devious conduct. How on earth, in the name of their faith, conscience and morality can those UMNO warlords root for him to helm the nation next March. The only reason is that they are either blind or equally as corrupted as Najis.

Malays in this country should face reality and rise up to dump these scandalous UMNO's big shorts whose presence in politics is only to fleece them dry and bring more hardship to aggravate their grave suffering. You should see the Eurocopter's scandal as the last straw and tell yourself enough is enough. This greedy and immoral Najis has to be stopped before he empties Malaysia's wealth.

RM4.14 billion for 50 copters or RM82.8 million per unit. And we ordered 12 copters for RM2.317 billion, (refer to http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/91215) meaning RM193 million per unit! So, multiply by 12 units, it comes to a cool RM1.3 billion. Not a bad golden handshake.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To see the impact of this wholesale looting look at this calculations: -

Brazil purchase of Eurocopter 50 copters for RM4.14 billion = RM82.8 million per unit
Malaysia purchase of same Eurocopter 12 copters for RM2.317 billion = RM193 million per unit

Difference in price per unit = RM110.2 million per unit
Najis and cronies are going to pocket = RM110.2 million x 12 units = RM1,322.4 million, that is RM1.332 billion.

imagine the amount of RM1.322 billion being overpaid by Malaysia. This is really wholesale looting! Imagine what this money can do to the poor rakyaat toiling on day to day basis trying to make ends meet. Hey, that is our money, it is the rakyaats’ money! Stop this robbery please.

To all politicians seeking power and fame, please ponder a while what I am going to say: We came to this world without anything and when we die we don't take anything either. Why we are so greedy and amaze wealth knowing we don't take them with us when we die? Even animals attack and eat their prey when they are hungry. Once they are full they never disturb or harm other animals. Surprisingly when we are angry we scold others "babi dan anjing" and so forth. According to many religions, we are the highest creation of God on earth but the way we act and behave show that we are worst than animals? I used to wonder whether religion has failed to humanize human beings! Why can't we make others happy and by making others happy we also feel happy. Don't you think it's the highest virtue! To the people in the corridors of power, life is short and during this short period do good unto others and you will be exalted in the life thereafter.

Its sometimes difficult to conclude based on price alone. The price of EC 532 also called the Cougar can be very much different from the EC 725 Cougar. However to select an helicopter without a test trial being done may be putting the lifes of our pilots in danger. Maybe MoD should reconsider and test the helicopter before issuing the Letter of Award as Eurocopter has only about 14 in number EC 725 in service since 2002. Read article below:

Marignane - In late November 2002, the SPAé (French Aeronautical Production Agency), acting on behalf of the French General Delegation for Armaments (DGA), notified Eurocopter of a contract for the supply of 10 medium-sized EC 725 helicopters to the French Special Forces. The contract, which is worth 271 million euros, covers the helicopters, general customization costs, and support services. Delivery of the first EC 725 is set for late 2004, with the follow-on deliveries spread out over 2005 and 2006. With this contract notification, the EC 725/225 order book now totals 18 machines.

economy of scale. brazil buys 50 units compares to malaysia's 12 units. so france offered a 57% discount. so if malaysia buy 50 units, we can get it at the same price. or maybe buy 100 units and negotiate for a 80% discount. where is the government's negotiation skills? i think the only discrepancy in this deal is the government's failure to negotiate. we can't condemn them for this. but with an extra 88 more units, with each unit able to ferry at least 6 passengers in comfort, all MP's and even backbenchers can travel in style by copters to parliament. how about it?

let's be the first country in the world where our elected government representatives travels to all functions by copters.

Dear LILIN,

You are a stupid bloody IDIOT!!! Based on your stupid argument, Malaysia should pay even less than what Brazil is paying because we did not buy over the technology. Brazil did not just buy the helicopters, they benefitted from the transfer of technology in the manufacture of the helicopters too. So without buying over the technology that EUrocopter has spent on R&D, Malaysia should pay even less than what Brazil paid for their helicopters. I regret the day your mother gave birth to you!!!

LILIN Wrote...Terrible! I checked the website that T Gopal provided. It is clear that Brasil is producing the copters and the Brazilian gomen is buying from a local company. Price is very different here when you buy from a third party or a different country. Malaysia do not produce such copters hence buying abroad with the services and technicians and el al will cost a bomb indeed. T. Gopal's argument is not valid since he did not take all these into consideration.

Brazil paid RM82.9 million for each Cougar but Malaysia paid RM193 million for each. Remember there is no excise duties or sales tax on national defense purchases. Even if one buys from overseas, is it justified that the cost difference is a whopping RM110 each or 133% for the same brand and make?

Even the whole government machinery has jumped in and supported the higher price. Nobody has the right sense to say, "hold on, let's check the prices and see whether we can get it cheaper elsewhere".

Come on, even a kid knows that there is gross impropriety on the defense contract!

The price of the Eurocopter EC 725 which Malaysia going to buy is RM193 Million (USD54 Million) per unit BUT the same helicopter which Brazil going to buy is RM82.8 million (USD23 Million) per unit .

The price of the Sukhoi Su-30MKM which Malaysia bought was >< RM175 Million (USD50 Million) per unit BUT the same Sukhoi Su-30MKM purchased by Indian Army costing about >< RM140 Million (USD39 Million) per unit .

Anyway it looks like the Boeing 737 Jetliner which can carry >< 150 people excluded the cargo is much more cheaper than Eurocopter EC725. The price of the Boeing 737 version is about RM175 Million (USD50 Million)
