KUALA LUMPUR: The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) is investigating howa little-known IT company with little experience became the local partner in the RM1bil project to upgrade the Royal Malaysian Police’s communication systems from analogue-based to digital.
The project has since been scaled down.
According to sources, the ACA was also probing how a Singapore-based company, several of whose directors are Israeli nationals, was awarded a slice of the project when it was against the Government’s directive to do so.
The Israelis are said to be former officers in the Israeli Air Force.
The upgrading of the communications system would enable traffic policemen, those in mobile patrol vehicles and beat-duty policemen to communicate with each other and with their control centres.
The sources said the authorities had begun their preliminary inquiries into the companies to ascertain whether there was any irregularity in the awarding of the project and whether they could pose a security risk.
They said the ACA would call up several people, including police officers and senior government officials to assist in investigations following allegations that the company does not possess the requisite expertise.
It is learnt the Home Ministry had first awarded the RM980mil upgrading project to a well-known multi-national company in February.
However, in March, the company was informed that a local IT company had been appointed as local partner for the project, causing eyebrows to be raised.
With the latest development, sources said the IT company’s involvement in the project has since been limited to enable further discussions on the matter.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said police were aware of the involvement of the Israelis in their communications systems upgrading project.
“We informed the Home Ministry as soon as we learnt about it,†he said, declining to elaborate.
It is learnt that the Government has decided to scale down the project for the time being and had only approved its first phase, estimated to cost around RM42mil.
The IGP had last October announced that the police planned to equip their personnel with hand-held computers, and micro-cameras fitted into walkie-talkies, as part of a massive plan to beef up the force’s capability.
He had said the police wanted to use such high-tech devices and set up a network of camera surveillance systems to fight crime more effectively.
Musa said the force needed to have an e-solution system that would enable them to communicate with police helicopters, airplanes and marine police as well as with their mobile police vehicles.
“The Bukit Aman control centre will use the latest high-tech devices and communication systems to relay, monitor and coordinate operations throughout the country,†he said.

Why make a big fuss about the involement of Israeli’s in upgrading of facilities to bring down the crime rate that will ultimately benefit the entire Rakyat?!!! Look! my dear brothers!, ask yourselves this question…how was it possible for the Israelis to be where they are today if not for their firm determination to be self reliant? Stop bluffing yourselves and, if you people do not have an ego as big as yourselves, try and emulate from these people for the betterment of your countrymen!!!
Please tell your prevailing government, SODOMY is not going to get Malaysia to achieve its target of 2020!!! Whatever that means!!!

Seems to me all this expenditure – RM42 million or what – has only 2 purposes :
One, to enrich the coffers of UMNOPutras,
Two, to render this country into a police state whereby the UMNOPutras will rule forever. The current bias, prejudicial, partisan, and grossly unprofessional performance of the Police does NOT warrant any more mollycoddling via such sweeteners and oodles of monies for them. It will only be used against the people of this country.
I say, stop it. Stop this useless exercise. Until and unless the PDRM is revamped and reformed, tighen further development funds for them. They do not deserve it.

Home Minister Hamid Albozo has a lot to explain.
How can such a small company team up with a foreign company for such a costly project? Apa ini pun macam Scorpene deal ke? Hey Albozo what is your cut in this?
Lagi the BN government tries to implicate DSAI with Israel? Hey Albozo time to start explaining.
And Mr. Dass, i have to agree with you about how hardworking the jews are but you must understand that malaysia has no diplomatic ties with that Israel. And that how it stands.

Das,
Why be a K poh chii. Do u think the Israeli are self reliant? They depend on the US for billion of dollars in aid every year. The German Goverment must pay the Israeli $5 billion yearly as compensation for the Holocaust. Self Reliant? How do u think the state of Israel came about? self reliant?
If we don’t like the Israeli, means we don’t like. To us, a Jew in Malaysia is like a Malay fighter pilot in the RSAF. Opppsss no Malay fighter pilot in your air Force! Ok ok a Malay Commanding Officer of a warship in the Navy. Opppsss no Malay Commanding Officer. Ok ok a Malay Chief of Staff. Ooopsss again no Malay Officer. Hey bro…podah. Semua tak ada je….
So if sodomy is not goin to get us there, hmmm maybe getting the CEO of Temasek Holdings or CEO of Singtel or LKY to jump ship to us can huh???

I wonder what the hell is Das doing and making such stupid remarks ( about himeself ???) when it is a known fact that our beloved country will never be involved with this zionis nation for whatever reasons. Your support for this zionis nation clearly shown your stupidity and insensitivity to us Malaysian, as Singapore is an avid supporter for this bloody zionis. You should look at what at how much this zionis nation has caused sufferings to our muslim brothers in Palestine and you singaporean should never intefere with our fights for justice in Malaysia, and stay the F@#$ out of our politics.

Does KJ have a hand in this?
Emulating Israel tantamount to declaring Malaysia the State of one particular Race-based-religious entity which seeks to carve up its neighbours territory by violent force sighting scriptures which deem everyone else inferior subhuman and subjects of the Jewish Zionist entity whims and fallacies.
The world has enough talent knowledge and determination also there is no such monopoly of a race base technological advantage.
You are dealing with myths while we are seriously trying to address a corrupt and demoralising situation in Malaysia which coincidentally compromises our national security due to well known adverse rivalries. So Mr.Das stop talking crap!
It is not just a question of disobeying government orders and policies and the manner in which these contracts were awarded.
This is opening and subjecting Malaysia political economical and defence institutions to foreigners who will lose no sweat in swapping the country’s most intimate security and safety defensibility; that Mr.Das amount to treason.
Our politicians have grown so greedy whereby they actually took the nations short and long term security for granted – this grave oversight tantamount to the grandest of blunders.
It begs to reason that the IGP Musa Hassan who he claims that Anwar is an American agent while Minister Hamid Albar claims Anwar is a snitch for America.
look at the logic in the treatment of Anwar on their allegations while under their very noses Singaporeans and Israelis both in territorial claims while confiscating Malaysian citizens EPF continuously encroaching on our boundaries are awarded expensive sensitive National Security contracts right in their very domain.
The very personnel involved are high grade military experts trained in intelligence techniques which is what landed them with these contracts in the first place.
Malaysia can’t and should not be pretentious about this in fact the ACA isn’t enough to probe this blunder.
These folks were let into our bosoms which means that they will have access to every aspect of Malaysia because this is what the current police force have at the moment even constitutional powers over our Military.
Can I spell the consequences out more plainly – whereas in any other state in the world heads will be rolling and rest assured it will not be deputies or associates but the upper most.
I beg anyone dare to challenge the nature of the risk involve. Who are the losers in this blatant disregard for security over dollars; yes dollars because that is what this boils down to – God Forbid!
The Government is treating its own fabrication of Anwar Ibrahim far greater a threat than this preposterous and negligible breach of National security.

The very personnel involved are high grade military experts trained in intelligence techniques which is what landed them with these contracts in the first place. They did not need a public listed company to penetrate our security institutions but well placed high calibre intelligence officers posing as businessmen offering quality intel/service in exchange for 1.5 billion and the nations security operations and privileges. Dog eat we supper.
Malaysia can’t and should not be pretentious about this in fact the ACA isn’t enough to probe this serious blunder. I can’t find enough words or the right phrase to describe this scandalous ineptitude. These folks were let into our bosoms; right into our bed room in the dead of night – which means that they will have access to every aspect of Malaysia because this is what the current police force have at the moment even constitutional powers over our Military.
Can I spell the consequences out more plainly – whereas in any other state in the world heads will be rolling and rest assured it will not be deputies or associates but the upper most with jail to boot.
I beg anyone dare to challenge the nature of the risk involve. Who are the losers in this blatant disregard of national security over dollars; yes dollars! Because that is what this boils down to on the Malaysian side – God Forbid! Yesterday US warned its erstwhile friend for life, the Cancerous Bacterium call the State of Israel Quote; 04/08/08 “Press TV” — – The top American military officer has warned Israel against orchestrating ‘USS Liberty Part II’ to provoke a US-led war against Iran. The USS Liberty, a $40m state-of-the-art surveillance ship, was ‘inadvertently’ attacked by Israeli fighter jets and torpedo boats in international waters north of the northern Sinai Peninsula coast.
The attack, which lasted at least 40 minutes, claimed the lives of 34 American soldiers and wounded at least 170 crew members.
These are Ex-Israeli pilotsâ€without doubt intelligence operatives “setting up our security surveillances throughout the country. These are the same folks defended by America at all cost which in broad day light attack its friend to meet its own nefarious means yet our nation’s security businesses and politicians brazenly and secretly open our doors to members of this entity.
What in hell were these people thinking and whose interest were they acting on behalf of/for?
Contemplate this lame duck response/excuse from none other than the; Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said police were aware of the involvement of the Israelis in their communications systems upgrading project.“We informed the Home Ministry as soon as we learnt about it,†he said, declining to elaborate.
The Government is treating its own fabrication of Anwar Ibrahim far greater a national threat than this preposterous and negligible breach of National security. Be very afraid as this isn’t about politics this transcends to the question of moral-sovereignty more than anything in our nation’s history.
Have we not learn of the happenings prior to the Japanese invasion of Malaysia, how our security was compromised – this is by far incendiary a threat and bears fruit of eroded values a virtual lack of professionalism a void of analytical and experience personnel overseeing the nation’s security let alone their loyalty.

Dey DAS, what talking you? Talk as if you know. I am telling my fren, spent lah so many million..to buy gadgets. You think Malaysian police know how to use meh? We had spent millions to fix traffic cameras but now no use. We had spent million to buy speed detector – but cannot summon singaporean cars for speeding on our highways. We had to witness Pulau Batu Puteh stripped from our map because of our incompetent Jabar The Hut. Yet we still allow you all to fill up petrol here and supply you all fresh water. I think you had too much Neuwater in your system.
Who cares about Israel and what talking you about where they are today? We are talking about principle. Once the Govt had agreed not to have any link with the Jew – the govt themselves should abide. Not just telling the people and do tricks behind our back!
Didn’t you know that in our International passport we are forbid from entering Israel? We have big egos meh? Yeah right…. travel out of your little cocoon and meet Singaporean abroad. Their egos are bigger than their heads. I think you should learn more about the difference between ego and patriotism.
And lastly…what was that about 2020? Wah so surprise that you know one. I wonder how the vision got to invade the mindset of your cocoon. Actually…it is everything got to do with sodomy. If other country can success….SO DO .MY ! (LOL) :-p

Hi guys
We are commenting wrongly on this story here as appeared in The STAR . The issues is about how come a small IT company obtained such a big project. The projects they are referring to here one is Police Reporting System which handles all the police reports and the upgrading of the walkie talkies system of PDRM. The company in question is Masterplan Consulting Sdn. Bhd. which was awarded the PRS project with a Israel linked company as a subcontractor. The walkie talkie project is awarded to Motorola on a direct nego valued at RM980 million and Motorola named Masterplan who has zero experience in telecommunication, as their local partner. The award to Motorola was hastily given just before election at double the actual cost according to market source. Why double the price? What is the consideration? Since this is direct nego obviously there was no price comparison . Is a little known IT company a front for Motorola for payoff? Who are the people behind this scam?
Just a matter of observation, Motorola has a company in Israel, Motorola Israel Ltd, which develops a wide range of radio communication equipment, including the digital walkie talkie.. The company main activities are the design and development of products for worldwide marketing and manufacture, and the the sale and maintenance of Motorola communications and systems. Think about that.
