Corruption/ Page Two.

Statement.

I attach 4 letters from the Hong Kong Police files.

Those letters, and there are many others, show, prima facie, that Razaleigh

was offered a $50m bribe by George Tan.

The letters also show that tan was acting on behalf of Razaleigh

and the Malaysian Government, in large transactions.

11 days after the auditor Ibrahim, wrote asking Razaleigh if he owned

the shares, he was murdered.

The man convicted of his murder, said, in a part of his confession that

is now missing from police files, but which was reported in Court,

that he had been sent to HK by Razaleigh.

Corruption.

No action was ever taken against Razaleigh. The letters were known to

the authorities, and were deliberately witheld at the murder trial.

They were also witheld from the defence in the Osman case.

The Governor knew that the Malaysian's were seeking a political

prosecution, having been so advised by the UK High Commissioner in

Malaysia.Members of both the High Commission staff and the Governors

office knew about the Razaleigh link, and the use of this corrupt

prosecution as a means of covering it up. The FO will no doubt give

you sight of some of the other 150 cables.now held under Parliamentary

privilage, outside the jurisdiction. They carry a fairly full account

of the actions of the HC staff, and of the jailed prosecutors arrangements

with the Malaysians relating to the evidence.

The extent of the cover up and the bringing of a corrupt and perverted

prosecution is known to a range of Crown servants, outside the law

offices, at Downing Street, in The Governors Office in HK, at the High

Commission in KL, in the FO and at the HO.
