Clare Rewcastle Brown. I took A Pill

In Ibiza, is THE 2015 hit single from Mike Posner.
Reading through the Australian, one has the feeling that perhaps Miss Brown and the reporter 'Took A Pill in Ibiza".
Brown who has done some real outstanding reports on Malaysia, 1MDB (Some of it true, some of it, maybe not, and some of it, we don't know yet), says she was not at the Bersih rally, in Australia and Singapore, because she feared arrest and deportation to Malaysia.
OK, on the Singapore part, it could happen, but do YOU really expect us to believe that Australia will arrest you and  deport you back to Malaysia? Or Are you just doing an anti Malaysia PR exercise?
And if you can do that, then your position as a reporter of FACTS has been compromised.
As for the reporting from the Australian, why was this simple question not asked? When was the last time, had Australia deported a WHITE female Btitish reporter to a THIRD world country, without a red alert Interpol warrant?

Until late last week, British journalist Clare Rewcastle-Brown was looking forward to visiting Singapore and Sydney to march with thousands of people protesting over the Malaysian government’s 1MDB corruption scandal that she has been probing for years.

That was before an alarming discussion with her lawyers ­swiftly ended the trip.

Rewcastle-Brown was warned last week in no uncertain terms: the threat of arrest was far too high, due in part to the latest ­attempt by the Malaysian government to silence the investigative journalist.

“The threat of arrest has ­become quite real,” the veteran journalist told The Australian from her home in London.

“The case about 1MDB and (Singapore’s) BSI bank has been a major case in Singapore. So they have special extradition arrangements with Malaysia, and I was told that Malaysia had been putting enormous pressure to try one way or another to get their hands on me. The lawyers told me it just wasn’t worth the risk,” she said.

The most dramatic step taken by the government came last year when the Royal Malaysia Police announced it had obtained an ­arrest warrant for Rewcastle-Brown and would be applying to have her placed on Interpol’s Red Notice list, normally reserved for terror suspects. The application was swiftly rejected.
