Did Hasanah Hamid mislead Najib to sabotage GE14?
Since then, a letter that Hasanah wrote to the CIA has been leaked (and is confirmed authentic) while she has also been arrested and may face trial for bringing millions of ringgit into the country. Lokman, in the news report below, has condemned Hasanah. Did Hasanah sabotage GE14 by misleading Najib? And was the leaked CIA letter and leaked information regarding the millions that Hasanah is alleged to have smuggled in from the Middle East the work of Najib’s people as payback for her sabotage work?

Malaysia’s ‘CIA’ chief, Hasanah Hamid: was she working for the CIA to topple BN?
According to those who personally know Hasanah Abdul Hamid, the former director-general of the Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation (MEIO) — Malaysia’s equivalent of the CIA — she is well-connected and has links to all the foreign intelligence agencies, even in the UK and US.
These people say she also has her eyes and ears all over the place and there is nothing that happens inside and outside the country involving Malaysian politics that she does not know about.
I actually saw her once in London — like two ships passing in the night — but I did not stop to talk to her. The look on her face showed she recognised me, as I did her. It is enough we both nodded to indicate we knew who the other was.
Anyway, it was Hasanah who reported that Barisan Nasional was assured of winning at least 130 parliament seats in the 9th May 2018 general election or GE14. Another intelligence source I spoke to disagreed and said if Umno is not careful Barisan Nasional may win only about 80 seats. When I mentioned that the ‘CIA’ reported Barisan Nasional was going to win 130 seats my intelligence source disagreed.
That put me in a dilemma. Malaysia’s ‘CIA’ said Barisan Nasional was going to win 130 seats while another intelligence source said it was going to be only 80 seats. The Military Intelligence agreed with the 80-seat prediction while the Special Branch agreed with the 130-seat prediction.
At that point I knew Najib Tun Razak was in trouble and I told my daughter, Sara, not to worry about being dropped as Gerakan’s candidate for Segambut (Gerakan was upset about what I wrote regarding Robert Kuok). I told Sara that Barisan Nasional was most likely in trouble and was going to get wiped out anyway.
“I suspect,” I told Sara, “that Najib is being sabotaged from within and I also suspect that Tun Dr Mahathir is spending billions to buy off those within Najib’s inner circle.”
My question is: my intelligence source said Barisan Nasional was going to win just 80 seats and the Military Intelligence agreed with this. The MEIO and Special Branch, however, both said Barisan Nasional was going to win 130 seats. While I can understand the Special Branch, which is working for Mahathir, misleading Najib with false intel, how come the MEIO was also misleading Najib?
Since then, a letter that Hasanah wrote to the CIA has been leaked (and is confirmed authentic) while she has also been arrested and may face trial for bringing millions of ringgit into the country. Lokman Noor Adam, in the news report below, has condemned Hasanah. Did Hasanah sabotage GE14 by misleading Najib? And was the leaked CIA letter and leaked information regarding the millions that Hasanah is alleged to have smuggled in from the Middle East the work of Najib’s people as payback for her sabotage work?
Interesting questions are they not?

Letter to CIA ‘unforgivable’, says Umno leader
(MMO) – Soliciting a foreign power for political support is unacceptable, said Umno supreme council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam.
Commenting on the controversy around a letter the former director-general of the Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation (MEIO) wrote to the US’ Central Intelligence Agency seeking support for Barisan Nasional, he said the move “is a mistake that cannot be forgiven”.
While saying he was informed that the private letter was intentionally leaked to sabotage Datuk Hasanah Abdul Hamid, he stressed that she must be investigated if the document was authentic.
“We cannot tolerate this. It’s very wrong, very wrong,” Lokman told reporters at a private celebration of the 61st anniversary of Merdeka at the Perdana Botanical Gardens here.
Hasanah’s lawyers confirmed the authenticity of the letter by insisting it was protected under the Official Secrets Act.
The former head of the now defunct agency previously insisted it was not related to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak who has denied any knowledge of the matter.
Another reason Lokman cited for criticising the move was his belief that the CIA was “deeply involved” in deposing Najib as prime minister.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission arrested Hasanah on Tuesday over an unrelated investigation into the misappropriation of millions of ringgit meant to be used for the 14th general election.
She remains in the commission’s custody.
