命案主谋嫌犯李志坚 命案死者比尔卡勇
通缉拿督李志坚(Dato’ Lee Chee Kiang,译音)
在马来西亚,极少有人敢直呼拿督李志坚(Dato’ Lee Chee Kiang,译音)的名字,因为他与政治(人物)有良好关系。
但是,我们可以发现一张控状指名李志坚涉嫌唆使谋杀一名维护原住民土地权的英雄 ——比尔卡勇(Bill Kayong)。在同一张控状底下执行夺命枪杀任务的其他嫌犯已经遭到逮捕。
比尔卡勇被发现死于自己的汽车内,地点就在美里的一处交通灯处。相信大约在发生枪杀案的时候,李志坚已经逃离砂拉越远赴澳洲。一项通缉李志坚的红色警报已经发出,当局至今仍然没有发布公告。我们要问澳洲警方是否知道,一名被通缉涉嫌枪杀案的马来西亚人仍在潜逃,相信是(匿藏)在澳洲境内?
上星期枪杀比尔卡勇的被告和李昌隆(Lie Chang Loon,译音)一起被带上法庭。起诉李昌隆的控状书这么写道:
“.......你和李志坚(身份证号码:710816-13-5079)以及正在潜逃的其他人.......唆使一名莫哈末费德里(Mohamad Fitri Pauzi).......执行谋杀比尔卡勇(Bill Kayong)的行动.......”
上图所示,提呈法庭的控状上,李昌隆(Lie Chang Loon,译音)被指名为谋杀比尔卡勇的教唆犯。
对同发种植有限公司(Tung Huat Plantation)的斗争
这宗砂拉越一位最著名维护原住民土地权的人物被谋杀案立即引起广泛怀疑,是跟州内木业黑帮政治有关。
公司注册资料显示,天猛公父亲(李旭同)与儿子(李志坚)是公司原始的董事 —— 注意:上图椭圆形红圈内的身份证号码与控状书内的相同。
李志坚是同发种植有限公司的董事和主要股东。事实上,同发种植有限公司的事件清楚反映征用土地的伐木或种植公司和高层政治人物之间错综复杂的犯罪关系。这些高层政治人物对政府执行法律拥有不适当的影响力。
生活在该原住民习俗地的居民多年来多次入禀法庭,跟同发种植有限公司展开法律斗争。这些原住民得到维护原住民土地权的律师阿本瑞(Abun Sui)以及社运人士比尔卡勇的支持。他们两人都跟在野的人民公正党有联系,其中比尔卡勇曾是砂州议会选举的一名候选人。
在枪杀案发生不久前,天猛公李旭同(左)从人联党副主席李景胜手中接受延长他的天猛公的委任状。
另一方面,李志坚和国阵人联党有着密切的关系。纳吉在砂州选举时签署百万令吉的支票资助该党。
李志坚的父亲,同时也是公司董事之一的李旭同,即美里现任天猛公,众所周知和人联党关系密切。
人联党副主席、砂州旅游部(助理)部长李景胜在6月1日正式颁发天猛公任期延长委任状给李旭同,并公开祝贺天猛公,说他“为国阵政府取得社区的支持扮演关键角色”。
天猛公和他儿子都不仅是同发种植公司的董事,他们也都是公司的大股东。
公司注册资料显示,两父子是同发种植有限公司的大股东。他们也是美里政治界的权势人物。
尽管这父子俩扮演了如此显要的的公共角色,他们的同发种植有限公司所发生的以暴力对付原住民利益的捍卫者的事件,成为砂拉越近年来以暴力欺压胁迫社区的许多案件中最为恶劣的实例。自由砂拉越电台(Radio Free Sarawak)从2011年起就报导了这些事件,维护民权工作者也在此期间持续地表达了关注和忧虑。
村长在他的车子里被人用巴冷刀攻击(这事件发生在美里市中心)。
据知情人士透露,比尔卡勇和其他社运人士都收到过李志坚本人和据称他所雇用的黑帮人物所作的冷酷无情的口头威胁,经常在一天里收到近20通恐吓电话。
与此同时,同发尼亚种植公司针对其公司在双溪柏格立(Sungai Bekelit)的发展计划下受影响的当地伊班社区发动了一系列骇人听闻的暴力攻击。
在去年杪发生一宗几个黑帮人物在公路上以巴冷刀砍伤一名村长而后坐上一辆注册在同发种植公司的名下的车子逃逸的事件。
其他的一连串暴力事件,包括汽车被烧毁、房屋被掷燃烧弹,以及据报道黑帮人物多次到村里去恐吓设置路障的当地人。据报有的时候黑帮人物还特意驾车撞倒他们,导致他们因伤入院。

肆意犯罪却免受法律制裁?
地方领袖和社运人士申诉,尽管村民持续受到暴力对待,警方却依然没有采取任何的行动来保护他们(村民)的安全。
莫哈末费德里(Mohamad Fitri Pauzi)昨日被带上法庭
相反地,村民的代表律师发现同发种植有限公司竟然开始不断引发事端对付村民,并入禀法庭指控村民煽情滋事。
当地人民在有关当局长年累月没有执法,没有维持公共秩序的情况下被迫站稳立场。社运人士相信,这样过了多年后,同发种植有限公司的老板总结出他们可以任意犯罪而不受到惩罚。
至于逃亡嫌犯拿督李志坚,目前的控状显示,他认为他有办法恐吓这名反对其种植园的主要的政治鼓吹者,之后便发出指示执行那些恐吓行动。
共犯 ——根据控状,李昌隆雇用费德里行凶
据知情人士向《砂拉越报告》透露,由于警方之前未采取任何行动对付那些做出暴行并且和李志坚的公司有关的人士,李志坚已经开始到处物色当地的雇佣兵。
李志坚被指控通过李昌隆(遭扣留的二人的其中一人)枪杀比尔卡勇,而李昌隆则将此工作转包给莫哈末费德里(现在也遭逮捕及提控)
然而,当李昌隆和莫哈末费德里昨天被带上法庭及在这些罪名指控下还押候审时,得意洋洋的警方完全没有提到他们正在追捕的其他嫌犯的姓名。尽管地方性报章都有办法获得控状内的所有信息,他们却没有报道涉嫌这宗命案的主谋人物的姓名。
《婆罗洲邮报》仅敢以暗示的语言“一名拿督级的主谋人物正在潜逃”作出报道。
该报只以一句“李昌隆与仍在潜逃的Lee CK以及另外两人,被控唆使莫哈末费德里(Mohamad Fitri)进行谋杀社运分子”含糊地交代“神秘拿督”的身份。
与人联党的关系
快乐的日子不复再!在一次国阵的竞选活动中,人联党前主席陈华贵(Peter Chin)与嫌疑枪手莫哈末费德里(Mohd Fitri Pauzi)手臂与手臂相靠合照 !
更令人震惊的是,此案的嫌疑人 —— 李志坚与人联党及国阵的政治关系,让他在砂劳越境内继续得到庇护。有关当局甚至没将他列为涉及此凶杀案的主要嫌疑人。
与此同时,砂劳越报告取得了上述照片。照片里能清楚看到被指涉及此案的枪手,当时和人联党前任主席陈华贵在一个国阵举办的竞选活动里肩并肩站在一起。健壮魁梧的莫哈末费德里(Mohamad Fitri Pauzi),熟络的将手搭在这位政治领袖的肩上,显示他们之间关系匪浅。
比尔卡勇 ——一名著名的社运人士破坏了拥有密切政治关系的同发种植有限公司的经济利益。
这年轻的莫哈末费德里是否知晓,他协助铲除了一名有魅力且杰出,不过却挺身阻止人联党相关人士获取经济利益的反对派政治领袖,而这也许是砂劳越某种政治图谋的一环?
公司老板与政治人物有密切关系,警方不会对这个公司所犯罪行采取行动。是时候由砂拉越政府打破沉默,站出来对这个令人震惊的案件做出回应:指控这个跟政治人物有关联的公司所犯的罪行。
陈华贵也应该出面澄清人联党和同发种植有限公司的关系,特别是他本人或是其他人联党领袖是否持有该公司股份(或其代理人的股权和利益)?如果他们和该公司之间没任何关系,而当地居民是由人联党所代表,为何警方多年来对那些黑帮人物攻击或骚扰当地居民的活动束手无策?
最后,也别忘了深受迫害的砂拉越原住民。这些贪婪公司仗着当权者全力撑腰,肆意暴力恐吓砂拉越原住民和强硬夺取他们的土地。是时候让这一切都划下句点。
砂拉越首长阿德南曾声称他要求更多自主权。但事实上,这个州政府一直纵容这种不平的社会事件在这片土地上不断发生。试问,砂拉越原住民怎么可能期望他们的权益会得到这样一个更强的州政府更好的保护?
发生在美里此交通灯处的谋杀案结束了一场遭受暴力打击的社运,而有强大势力的主谋正在潜逃中!
Plantation Boss Wanted
Over Bill Kayong Murder
WORLD EXCLUSIVE
By SARAWAK REPORT
So politically well-connected is Dato’ Lee Chee Kiang that it seems that no one has so far dared to name him in Malaysia.
However, we can reveal that he is squarely cited in the charge sheets against others arrested over the fatal shooting of the land rights hero Bill Kayong, where he is named for having abetted the murder.
Lee is believed to have fled Sarawak for Australia at about the time Kayong was shot dead in his car at a traffic light in Miri, yet there has been no public notification so far that a Red Notice Alert has been issued for his arrest and we ask if the Australian police are aware that a wanted Malaysian suspected killer is at large and believed to be in their territory?
After all, the charge sheet against Lie Chang Loon who appeared in court last week together with the man accused of shooting Kayong plainly reads:
“..you together with Lee Chee Kiang (I.C. No.: 710816-13-5079) and other persons at large.. abetted one Mohamad Fitri Pauzi ..in the commission of murder of Bill Anak Kayong."
Named as an abettor in the murder of Bill Kayong in the charges laid against Lie Chang Loon.
Tung Huat Plantation Battle
The murder of one of Sarawak’s best known land rights figures was immediately widely suspected as being linked to the gangster timber politics of the state.
Temenggong father and son were the original Directors of the company – note the ID number matches the charge sheet above.
Indeed, the criminal nexus between land grabbing timber/plantation companies and top politicians, who hold undue influence over the forces of the law, has been perfectly illustrated in the case of Tung Huat Plantation, where Lee Chee Kiang is a Director and key shareholder.
For years native landowners have been locked in legal battles against the company, supported by land rights lawyer Abun Sui and campaigner Bill Kayong, who are both linked to the opposition PKR party – Kayong was a candidate at the state election.
Temenggong Lee (left) received his extension from SUPP Vice President just before the murder.
Lee Chee Kiang, on the other hand, is very closely linked to BN’s SUPP party, whose local election battles have been heavily financed by Najib personally (as million ringgit cheques signed by him at the general election bear testimony).
Lee’s father and fellow director, Lee Sie Tong, is none other than the present Temenggong of Miri, known to have close ties to the SUPP.
On June 1st that post was extended in a ceremony officiated by an SUPP Vice President, the Tourism Minister Lee Kim Shin, who openly congratulated Temenggong Lee for having “been instrumental in getting the community to support the Barisan Nasional (BN) government“.
Together with his son, the Temenggong is not only a Director of Tung Huat Plantation they are the major shareholders also.
Father and son – Major shareholders and directors of Tung Huat plantation, as well as movers and shakers in Miri politics.
Despite this prominent communal role the struggle involving Tung Huat has been one of the worst examples of violence and bullying towards local communities in recent years in Sarawak. Radio Free Sarawak has reported on the issue since 2011 and civil rights campaigners have raised ongoing major concerns throughout this period.
Tua Rumah (headman) was attacked with parangs in his car Central Miri.
Bill Kayong himself and other campaigners had received unrelenting verbal threats from Lee himself and gangsters allegedly paid by him for months, often receiving up to 20 phone calls a day, according to people close to the case.
Meanwhile, a series of appalling violent attacks had been launched against the local Iban community affected by the Tung Huat Niah Plantation in Sungai Bekelit.
In one incident late last year the headman was run off the road by gangsters, who were in a vehicle registered to the plantation company and slashed with a parang.
In a string of other incidents cars have been burnt out, houses firebombed and gangsters have been reported numerous times arriving at the village to intimidate locals who had mounted blockades. In some cases they were reported for deliberately running people over in their vehicles, landing them in hospital.
How Radio Free Sarawak reported the issue on Friday 27th November.
Impunity?
Yet, despite the unrelenting violence against villagers, local leaders and campaigners have complained that the police did precisely nothing to protect their safety.
Brought to court yesterday – Mohamad Fitri Pauzi.
To the contrary the villagers’ legal representatives found that instead the company had started mounting cases against them, denouncing them in the courts for incitement.
After months and years, during which local people were forced to stand their ground without the support of the forces of law and order, campaigners believe that the owners of Tung Huat Plantations came to the conclusion that they could act with impunity.
And in the case of the fugitive Dato’ Lee Chee Kiang it appears from the present charges that he decided that he could threaten the main political campaigner against his plantation and then order that those threats be carried out.
Accomplice – Lie hired Fitri according to the charges.
Sarawak Report has been told by those with knowledge of the case that Lee Chee Kiang had started asking around for local mercenaries in the absence of any police action against the earlier outrages, which had plainly been carried out by those associated with his company.
It is alleged that Lee approached Lie Chang Loon (one of the two in custody), who in turn sub-contracted the shooting to Mohamad Fitri Pauzi (also now apprehended and charged).
Yet, when the two men were brought to court yesterday and remanded on these charges there was no mention by the jubilant police force of the names of the other suspects they are hunting. Nor did the local papers name the key suspect for commissioning the crime, although they too have had access to the charge sheet information.
All the Borneo Post dared hint was that “A Dato’ ‘Mastermind’ is on the run“!
“Lie was charged together with one Lee CK and two others still at large for abetting Mohamad Fitri in the commission of the murder of the activist”
was the only coy reference to the identity of the “mystery Dato’ from Borneo Post.
SUPP Connection
Happier days! Ex- SUPP Chief Peter Chin stands arm in arm together with the alleged shooter Mohd Fitri Pauzi (centre) on the BN campaign trail!
The shocking extent to which the SUPP/BN political connections of this suspected gangster, Lee Chee Kiang, continues to protect him in Sarawak could not be clearer than the failure to even name him as the prime suspect in this murder.
Meanwhile, Sarawak Report has obtained the above picture of the very man accused of pulling the trigger, earlier standing side by side with the former SUPP boss Peter Chin on the BN campaign trail. The tall and muscular hit man, Mohamad Fitri Pauzi, has his arm draped over the shoulder of his political leader in a gesture of close affection.
Bill Kayong – a popular campaigner who got in the way of financial interests of politically connected Tung Huat Plantations.
Had the young man seen his contract to eliminate a charismatic opposition figure, who was getting in the way of the financial interests of SUPP-connected figures, as somehow part of a political mission in Sarawak?
It is time that the rulers of the state end their deafening silence over the shocking circumstances of this case and denounce the politically connected company, which benefited from the failure of the police to stand up to their criminal behaviour.
It is also time that Peter Chin spoke out to clarify SUPP’s position with relation to the Tung Huat Plantation company – in particular does he or any other SUPP politician hold shares or interests (or nominee shares or interests) in this company and, if not, why does he believe the police have for years failed to address its gangster activities against the locals whom SUPP are supposed to represent?
Finally, it is high time that the violent intimidation of the natives of Sarawak by greedy companies, who have raped their lands with the full support and backing of the political establishment, was ended.
Chief Minister Adenan Satem has claimed he wants more autonomy, but what hope is there for natives that their interests will be any better protected by a stronger state government, which has allowed such a state of affairs to develop?
A violent campaign which ended in murder at this traffic light in Miri – and with the powerful main suspect on the run.
