BN politician Muhyiddin Yasin has just joined a long queue of people
to denounce the self-important blogger, ‘RPK’ for outrageous lies.
Sarawak Report has no evidence (and indeed no opinion) on the details
of the alleged libel in this present case. However, we do have volumes
on the non-trustworthyness of RPK.
Our evidence shows that it is barely relevant whether what RPK says
at any given time is true or false, because the man is so deceitful,
discredited and unreliable. If something true needs to be revealed,
therefore, then a more credible outfit will have to be persuaded to
publish it instead.
As for the recent jumping up and down by RPK, demanding to be sued in this matter by Mr Muhyiddin, let us inform the world how RPK reacts when he is actually sued.
First the cringing fellow pretends he doesn’t reside at his own
address and that his wife and his son don’t know him and so cannot pass
on legal letters addressed to him.
When that doesn’t work he next he pleads utter poverty and mewls that
it isn’t worth suing him, since he has no money and has no assets to
pay up when he loses.
But, even more laughably, RPK once backed in a corner, denies that he
actually is responsible for his notorious platform, the blog Malaysia
Today!
How things were before we issued proceedings…..
I am not responsible for Malaysia Today!
Malaysians, including the handful who remain regular readers of
Malaysia Today, will be doubtless rather astonished to learn that RPK is
now formally denying that he controls the blog, which has been the
source of all his puffed up notoriety.
Yet this excuse became his prime defence when challenged to defend his case in court by Sarawak Report.
The same archive story after the legal action – RPK has disappeared and Julian Khoo has assumed responsibility for the story!
The doughty accuser, who had earlier made a string of outrageous and
untrue accusations about the Sarawak Report Editor, had by then turned
yellow, of course.
To begin with he had written apocalyptic pieces about having “crossed the Rubicon” and being ready to fight even unto jail, in order to defend the man he described himself as being a “proxy” for – i.e. Prime Minister Najib Razak:
“…do your worst. We have both now crossed the Rubicon and
there is no longer any turning back. And as much as they may try to
oust Najib Tun Razak, he is still going to be the Prime Minister of
Malaysia long after I come out of jail.”[April 10th]
But, as the deadline for a formal reply in legal terms arrived, RPK’s tail dived firmly in between his legs.
An email arrived at SR’s lawyers with just hours to spare, in which
RPK denied he was any longer responsible for Malaysia Today, saying that
instead it is run by anonymous characters in KL, over whom he has no
control!
Yes, he does write the occasional opinion piece for the outlet, RPK
explained, but none of those had raised any of those false allegations
Sarawak Report was objecting to (untrue).
RPK went on to say that we really needed to address our concerns to
the Editor named on the present masthead of Malaysia Today … a chap by
the name of Julian Khoo.
Meanwhile, the afore-mentioned ‘Mr Khoo’ had simultaneously issued
his own formal apology in the blog itself – a major first in that
Malaysia Today had uttered the ‘S’ word (sorry) for the first time ever!
RPK was plainly hoping that this dual strategy of semi-apology and
semi-denial would ward off SR’s famously mean and hungry firm of lawyers
and get him off the hook over all the lies he had uttered in his
proclaimed role as Najib’s proxy.
RPK/ Mr Khoo appear to have removed their apology when we indicated it was inadequate and more needed removing from the site!
The mysterious Mr Khoo
However, Sarawak Report suggests that Mr Khoo is a fiction and a
deception, invented in a sorry attempt to save face and prop the
puffed-up ego of the ranting Mr Kamarudin.
We have evidence to this effect, which we would be happy to lay
before those British courts, which RPK is now running from as fast as he
can muster.
Specifically, before we sent our legal letter to RPK we took the
obvious precaution of capturing an entire copy of the website Malaysia
Today.
Prior
to our legal challenge this picture stated RPK’s editorial imprint on
the top of each article published. The terms ‘admin’ or ‘super admin’
accompanied articles not authored by himself.
There was no sign then of any Mr Khoo, just a picture on the masthead
of each and every article showing the self-important RPK, in his
favourite pose sporting a beard and cheeky chappy beret.
A week later, on the day of his apology and denial, the entire site had undergone a sudden transformation!
Mr Julian Khoo had been introduced as the ‘Editor’ on the masthead of
nearly every article on the site, dating right back through the
archives to the very first utterings on Malaysia Today.
Likewise, the cheeky chappie photograph of RPK had vanished from the top of those self-same articles!
SOMEONE had taken a very risky and deceitful decision, therefore, to
try to alter and disguise not only the present but the past on Malaysia
Today.
BEFORE – RPK took ownership of his articles
This is extremely easy to detect and prove, Me Lud: not only does our
own captured copy of the site show exactly how SOMEONE has attempted to
retrospectively alter it, in order to introduce a Mr Khoo (who simply
did not exist as Editor before that date) and remove the presence of
RPK, but every other public web archive also shows the same discrepancy.
AFTER – RPK has removed his own picture and placed the name of the mysterious new ‘Editor’, Mr Khoo on all his archived material
Look at any regular archive service on the net and you can
demonstrate the exact same phenomenon. Sweeps of Malaysia Today taken
prior to our legal letters, right up to March this year, feature RPK’s
picture on each and every article, while Julian Khoo is absent.
Compare these to the present site and Mr Khoo has miraculously
replaced RPK on articles, which he did not claim ownership of until the
day of the apology.
This is why Sarawak Report says we have hard evidence of RPK’s
deliberate deceit and lying. He is a man of such pathetic vanity that
when forced to say sorry (or face the music) he has to invent a ‘Julian
Khoo’ to do it for him.
It naturally fits in very well with the harping, racist theme of
RPK’s unpleasant ranting that he has given a Chinese name to this
particular whipping boy – it seems he didn’t want to ‘humble’ his core
constituency either.
Abusively stirring up racial disharmony is RPK’s key stock in trade…..
At which point it befits to mention that, of course, the proud ‘Malay
blogger’, who pours bile on non-Malays, is not actually Malay anymore
himself.
RPK has managed to gain refuge from his numerous detractors in
Malaysia over in the UK, thanks to a Welsh mother. He has taken a UK
passport, which means that his Malaysian passport has been removed under
the country’s nationality laws.
Since the offensive RPK would never dare swap back his present status
as a passport holder of the more tolerant United Kingdom, his claims to
be a ‘real Malay’ are therefore as bogus as much of the rest of what he
writes.
In fact, he has no more or less of a right to an opinion on matters
in Malaysia than Sarawak Report, even according to his own bigoted,
racist criteria.
Step forward Julian!
So, before RPK challenges the former Deputy Prime Minister of
Malaysia to waste time suing a penniless foreign refugee abroad, who is
known to be truth-shy, he should first present to the world this alleged
new Editor of his site, the intriguing ‘Mr Julian Khoo’.
If this Julian Khoo is based in Malaysia, runs a business and is
indeed RPK’s alleged publisher, he might certainly be worth taking to
court. But, right now, few people are likely to believe that he
actually exists.
If he does exist, then plenty of people with issues about Malaysia
Today would doubtless be most interested to have his full contact
details. They would also be able to ask him why he is now willing to
take on ownership of ten year old articles, which until mid-March
boasted RPK on their masthead instead?
