“We want to show Myanmar and tell Aung San Suu Kyi (Myanmar’s de facto leader) that enough is enough,” he had said. At the Yangon protest yesterday, Ko Naung Naung Oo, who is the general secretary of the Myanmar Nationalist Network, called for Najib not to “stand for terrorists”. “The Malaysian prime minister is pressuring the Myanmar government. I would like to tell the Malaysian prime minister, don’t stand for terrorists. You must know the correct history of Myanmar. I would like to announce to the world that there are 135 Myanmar ethnic groups and there is no Rohingya,” he was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, a letter sent to Myanmar Times by U Wirathu, a prominent monk who is a member of Buddhist nationalist organisation, Ma Ba Tha, also lashed out at “Muslim countries” for bullying Myanmar. “The unfair fact is Muslim countries are using a lot of money and unfair techniques and bullying Myanmar to make the world become a Muslim world,” Wirathu wrote from his base in Mandalay, according to the Myanmar Times. In a separate development, the Myanmar government said it would issue an official response objecting to Najib’s participation in the KL protest yesterday. “Asean countries should respect the actions of Myanmar on the Rakhine state issue. “The new government is working on a solution to this issue. And I want to say again that the Malaysian government should respect the Asean charter,” the deputy director general of the President’s Office, U Zaw Htay, told Myanmar Times. He also accused Najib of trying to stoke religious extremism as well as playing to the gallery for popular votes in view of the general election that is expected to be held soon in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: The son of a former inspector-general of police today lodged a police report against Malaysiakini’s founder for allegedly receiving funds from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF).

Abdul Rahman Mohd Hanif Omar, who is an ex-Royal Malaysian Air Force officer, also asked the police to investigate the portal for “activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy”.

Rahman is the son of Hanif Omar, who was the IGP from 1974 to 1994.

“While surfing the Internet, I found documents published by DCLeaks which revealed that there were Malaysians who were attempting to topple the Malaysian government.

“Among them is Malaysiakini’s founder,” he said after lodging a report at the Jalan Tun Razak police station.

Rahman also claimed that Malaysiakini’s tendency to spin news affirmed his suspicion that the portal was receiving funds from Soros.

He said if the trend carried on, the country could fall in “despair” and suffer the same fate Ukraine had.

He said the OSF documents revealed that funds were directed to an organisation in Ukraine, the International Renaissance Front (IRF) based in Kiev, which helped trigger the country’s bloody revolution.

This is why, he said, it was important for the individuals named in the document to be investigated.

On top of that, Rahman also urged the police to investigate statements made by former DAP leader Tunku Abdul Aziz, who claimed that foreign funds were distributed to the Red Bean Army (RBA), which is purportedly controlled by the DAP.

“If the authorities do not act, irresponsible individuals will topple this country and the democratically-elected government.”

In an immediate response on Malaysiakini, CEO Premesh Chandran denied Rahman’s allegations.

“I have not seen this document before, nor was I part of any discussions on ‘shared frameworks’, nor was I the chair of any committee related to OSF,” said Premesh.
