Kenneth Vun @ Vun Yun Liun, what's the colour tempting fate?

KENNETH  Yun Vun Liun, once a fugitive of law, has tempted fate, a yard too much this time around, with the appointment  off Farhash Wafa Salvador to the board of Key  Alliance Group Bhd.

KEY Alliance Group to those, not familiar with its history, was formerly known as the notorious and infamous DVM Technology Bhd..

CLOSE to eleven years ago, Kenneth  Yun  Vun Liun was exposed for what he is by the Securities Commission READ ; for rigging DVM Technology Bhd shares.

HISTORY  seems to be repeating itself, as minority  shareholders of Key Alliance Group Bhd have been taken for a bloody ride, which could cost them up to 30 times their cash outlay investments into the company.

HOW is this so, one may ask. Well from 2022 to 2024, Key Alliance was on a cash raising spree, done via rights issue. ESOS, private placements and asset acquisition,  which put this bleeding red ink company's Number of Shares Outstanding or NOSH to swell to 3.678 billion shares.

THEN from out of the blue, on January 13 this year, READ :Key Alliance announced plans for a 30 to one share consolidation exercise, trapping investors who bought on the high side into a 30 times deep pit hole.

DAYS latter. Kenneth Vun Yun Liun, a known donor of Perikatan Nasional,  saw his Key Alliance READ : appoint the 42 year old Farhash Wafa Salvador as the executive chairman of the company.

FROM a distance the appointment of Farhash Wafa Salvador,  looks and feels like a brilliant  move by the former fugitive , Kenneth Vun  Vun Liun .

LOOK closer though, and one will be able to see, why the thin, pale and frail looking Kenneth Vun Yun Vun  is NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer by a mile and  a half.

FARHASH Wafa Salvador, doesn't seem to have the best interest of Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister for taking the bait and jumping into bed with the gayish Kenneth Vun Yun Liun. 

WHY you may ask? Recall what Dr Mahathir said VIEW : that there is growing perception among the Malays, that the current Government is only going after Muslims, while non Malays who are not Muslims seem to given a mere pat in the back even when there is ample trail that crimes were commited.

YOU give Dr Mahathir and easy ball, and ten our of ten times the 98 year old will hit a decisive home run.

SO guess who is being investigated by the anti corruption agency and the tax man, READ: even though the Securities Commission took credit for the raids? :

AS Mat Sabu said sometime back,  the grass will suffer when an elephant and another elephant go head to head and rumble in the JUNGLE.

XI Jinping's Reputation Is On The Line.

THE "American Idiot" is not as dumb or divided, as we would love to assume. Rather, regardless of their domestic politics, their world view is frighteningly very cohesive.

TAKE for instance the rise of China's Deepseek, which initial reports, READ ; hail as a game changer in the Artificial intelligence field.

OTHERS  point to Deepseek's READ :  Sputnik moment which trashed US$1 trillion from the American stock market, as proof of Deepseek's threath.

THOSE who actively trade on stocks though , will tell you that every time the market climbs it's way up to the highest floor, it's always on the look out for a window to jump off the cliff.

DONALD Trump, the newly elected president of the United States though READ : may have let the cat out of the back by hailing and praising Deepseek

DARK humour at its best, saw China READ; unleashing Deepseek to the West on Christmas Day  

THE Americans have returned favour in the coldest way possible, a day before Chinese New Year, with a one trillion dollar bashing of its own stock market, idiotically laughing at the fact READ ; Deepseek says it is Chat GPT.

THAT, in itself says a lot, for an AI Chatbox dominating the world right now ,  that is READ : telling the world it has nothing to say of the Tianammen Square killings, the Ugyhur people's plight but acts as a communist mouth piece demanding for Taiwan`s unification with China.

DEEPSEEK`s cost, of US$6 million, if it ends up being a deepfake cost, could well be the icing on the cake for Washington, because that's what the world will remember Xi Jinping for.

WiseGuy inside The Corporate Mafia: The Grim Reaper

UNDER seige is an understatement, especially since the alleged members  of Malaysia's notorious and once unbeatable Corporate Mafia will be ushering a new year in less than 48 hours time.

FROM the head right up to the toe, every notable member is on the grim reapers watch, with the full backing and blessing of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

FOR the boss of bosses, who has a ten men private  security 24/7,  the move to leverage on Datasonic Group Bhd, the prominent security-based ICT solutions providers in Malaysia with track record in mission-critical national projects, was initially tolerated.

THE camels back, broke the moment the Home Minister was basically held foe ransom via Datasonic via a demand  that the pricr for the company's  services be increased steeply.

THAT power play has backfired,  with the ministry opting for a one year instead of five years extension.

THIS , is merely the first cut from the Home Ministry, though it is not the deepest.

WAIT for it; It's coming via a Government led takeover of Datasonic.

ELSEWHERE, at the bottom half of the food chain,  soaring like a phoenix is Eddie Ng Chee Siong and  his little company , which specialises in securing bank loans for a steep price. READ :MACC busts RM700mil loan syndicate; banks, borrowers suffer fallout.

I already identified VIEW :the main company and individual who is at the storm. That doesn't mean Eddie Ng Chee Siong is not in the equation for a SHAKE DOWN!!!

State of the Nation : RICE wars and more...

ANWAR Ibrahim, the man who fulfilled his goal to lead Malaysia, after waiting for more than two decades, has surprisingly over come with ease the Najib Razak addendum issue, and Tengku Razaleigh's call for him to resign.

READ: Ku Li demands Anwar Ibrahim quit as Prime Minister.

NO longer a  member of Parliament, the former finance minister's call, lacks sting and venom.

THE clearest indication that the Prime Minister has the upper hand, in my opinion can be seen in the move  to restart the momentum to free the paddy farmers from the yoke of Bernas.

READ : Majlis Tindakan Ekonomi Melayu (MTEM) says BERNAS has failed the paddy farmers.

IF you recall, as early as January 5th, I had highlighted READ : that the rice war has been restarted again.

THE other ominet sign that the Prime Minister has over comed a difficult December , can be seen via READ ;Malaysia reengaging the EU after a 12 years hiatus to work towards a free trade agreement.

ONE of the reason a free trade agreement with the EU has stalled for 12 years is because of the approved permit for automobile sector in Malaysia. 

The missing Mycc Report.

WHERE is the The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) report on the stage of the paddy industry in Malaysia.

THE report was deemed to be so important since it would effect how BERNAS operates, we had a deputy minister  proclaim READ : back in November that the Prime Minister himself will disclose the findings of the report.

IN  a couple of days time it would be February 2025, meaning nearly 90 days would have passed, but the completed report is still being kept a secret.

FOR those in a hurry to pin the blame on the Prime Minister, I suggest they have a careful READ : on the Rice war that officially restarted on Jan 6 2025..

AS  a result of the on going war which had just been restarted, we have the Prime Minister's special appointee attacking the day lights of the  Agriculture Minister. READ :Isu beras tempatan: Menteri gagal, asyik kajian demi kajian – Syed Abu Hussin.

WiseGuy inside The Corporate Mafia: Datasonic, Dead Man Walking

DATASONIC Group Bhd, after a much hyped up public relations exercise, failed where it matters the most.

THE company with a lot of help from Tong Kooi Ong's theEdge had the public sold on READ :  Datasonic having won a new five-year contract for the supply of Malaysian passports.

FRINGE online investigative sites such as Malaysia Corporate. Com though were highlighting READ: Red Flags, such as the company has been infiltrated by the Corporate Mafia

IN between those two reports, Urusharta Jamaah (UJ)  an asset management company wholly owned by the Minister of Finance (Incorporated)  has kept  on VIEW : selling Datasonic Group Bhd shares.

URUSHARTA Jamaah's  sale is fascinating because it is done in very small bits and done in a manner to coincide with Datasonic related  contract awards. READ: Datasonic wins one year contract extension to supply Malaysian passports, and not five years as initially claimed by TheEdge.

SO is Urusharta  going to exit Datasonic? The answer is NO but rather a subtle message from the Anwar Ibrahim administration who are no friends of the Corporate Mafia, that there are a few dead men walking in DATASONIC. 

WiseGuy inside The Corporate Mafia ; Two Enforcement Units Opens a full blown probe.

MALAYSIA'S as at final quarter of 2024, remained Invisible yet alone untouchable are now under active and effective probe.

AMONG those being looked at are Teh Chee Hoe,  Francis Leong Seng Wui and a tycoon  who made a vast fortune operating from Bukit Bintang's Low Yat Plaza.

A specific team, with its nucleas from the Prime Minister's Department has been watching carefully the antics of this group, which benefited financially during Perikatan Nasional's rule, and has been said to be a strong monetary supporter of the party.

I wont indulge on the specifics,  but it can be authoritatively summarised that the Corporate Mafia's success in gaining control of the strategic  Datasonic  Bhd,  has sent red flags.

Changes in Darasonic and in Revenue Group Bhd looks very likely this year because the buck stops in 2025
