Sir John Coles/3

You will appreciate that Noordin was prevented from examining the areas of legal responsibility most directly involved in, firstly, the failure to prevent the events at BMFL, and secondly the question of who instigated these events.

Finally you have before you prima facie evidence, recently placed before the UK Divisional Court, that Tengku Razaleigh, the Malaysian Finance Minister at all material times, appointed G. Tan, Chairman of the Carrian Group, the principle creditor of BMFL, as his personal agent and as a financial agent of the Malaysian Government in Hong Kong. This relationship was never disclosed to Noordin, nor did he know of it. The Hong Kong authorities, on the other hand, appear to have been in possession of this information since 1983.

You dismissed my assertions, but you have not answered them. You now have the full factual and quantative analysis behind my laying of information. If you can point to any error of fact, I will stand corrected. In my view these were the facts which informed the author of "Exhibit One", and brought him to the same conclusion that I would have reached in similar

circumstances.

Yes, I know about FCO cables. I have handled over 4,000, but thank you for the clarification.

Yours Sincerely

Your
