Extensive US Meddling in Malaysia’s General Election Revealed
New Eastern Outlook
After now 2 years of accusations and constant headlines regarding allegations of still unproven “Russian influence” in the 2016 US presidential election, it is difficult to imagine that real political meddling or election interference anywhere around the globe could go unnoticed.
This is especially true regarding the Western corporate media who has portrayed itself as deeply aware of the unethical and undemocratic nature of one nation interfering in the elections of another.
Yet during Malaysia’s recent general election – hailed by the Western media as a “historic win” for an opposition the Western media clearly favored – not a single story was written by media organizations like Reuters, AFP, CNN, the BBC and many others covering foreign interference during the elections.
Despite the lack of Western attention regarding foreign election meddling, it is revealed that Malaysia’s opposition is almost entirely comprised of US government-funded fronts – ranging from opposition leaders themselves, to political street fronts and organizers, to media organizations posing as “independent” Malaysian journalists, and “rights advocates” leveraging human rights advocacy to support the opposition and compromise Malaysia’s Barisan Nasional (BN) party.
Malaysia – a former British colony – faces the incremental expansion of US and European “soft power” within its borders – transforming it from a sovereign nation into a subordinate, modern Western client state. As the US is attempting to do all throughout Southeast Asia from Cambodia to Thailand and the Philippines to Myanmar – the final goal is surrounding China with nations hostile to it politically, economically, and even militarily.
US-Funding and Support Propped up Malaysia’s Opposition
Malaysia’s victorious opposition party – Pakatan Harapan (Alliance of Hope) – is openly headed by “de facto leader” Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar Ibrahim was Chairman of the Development Committee of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1998, held lecturing positions at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, was a consultant for the World Bank, and a panelist at the Neo-Conservative
His service to Western institutions and the corporate-financier interests that created them – including NED – explains the unanimous support he has received for years throughout the entirety of the Western corporate media.
Before his imprisonment in 2015, he led the Bersih street front, a movement Western media sources like the Guardian cited as being pivotal to unseating the ruling BN party.
