Your Native Lands To Pay Off My Bomohs!
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 GMT From Sarawak Report
Su'ut's fancy Kuching residence, plenty of flash cars outside
We can confirm that more of the land that rightfully belongs to the natives of Sarawak has been grabbed by Taib’s cronies, this time as payment to one of his Bomoh’s, Ahmad bin Suut! Clearly the Chief Minister prefers to exploit the poor, rather than pay in his own hard cash for such black magic activities!
The area concerned is in the Bidayuh region of Serian, adjacent to the huge tracts of reserve forest, which Taib handed to his own sister Raziah at Ensengei. However, the gesture has ended up in a messy and damaging court case that has exposed the Chief Minister and his government to accusations of supporting a ‘con-man’. Suut now stands accused of trying to sell on his vast concessions without revealing the Native Customary Rights attached to the land!
Banned practices
It has been well-known in inner circles that Taib has employed a string of Bomohs over the years. Hj Ahmad bin hj Suut is just one of a motley crew that he has relied upon to help him with his decision-making. Indeed, the basement area of his huge mansion is widely reported to be crammed with alters and artifacts devoted to such superstition and black magic devilry!
As we previously exposed, for a considerable period the Chief Minister was in the thrall of a Pakistani Ustaz, organised by his brother Tufail. We can now also reveal that he currently favours a blond female ‘witch’, this time provided by his sister Raziah.

Ahmad bin Suut, on the other hand, is an Indonesian and his sister is married to his business partner Francis Tan. Tan publicly enjoys an extremely friendly relationship with Taib’s own sister Zaleha, who is also married. The consulting of witch-doctors is of course banned by the Muslim faith and regarded with ridicule by educated people. Yet Taib is nevertheless clearly prepared to avail himself of the ‘Dark Arts’, particularly if he thinks he can frighten people with them. Bomohs like Suut claim that they are able to consult the spirits of the dead and fallen angels (Djinns), who can give them advice and power against their rivals and enemies. They indulge in numerous primitive practices to impress their clients. Sarawak Report declares itself unfrightened by mean old men and women who call themselves Bomohs, but angered that poor people are being forced into paying for their spells.
Fast living Bomoh!
Mixing spirits - Bomoh Suut ran a lucrative petrol outlet, thanks to a concession from the Chief Minister
Hj Ahmad bin hj Suut, who is in his mid-50s and limps from polio, is particularly noted for his enjoyment of material things, despite his spiritual profession. He consults the ghosts of the dead for a living, but is known to own upwards of 15 luxury cars! He also ran his own petrol station in central Kuching for a number of years, thanks to the kind concession gifted to him by his top client the Chief Minister. It was useful for filling up all his limousines and is also worth millions of ringgit. Everyone who has to use this petrol station can remember each time they fill up their tanks that they were subsidising the Bomoh of the Chief Minister!
Suut is also extremely fond of women. He has three official wives and is frequently seen in the company of other young ladies as well. All these tastes, as we all know, cost a great deal of money. However, he is clearly providing a service that the unaccountably wealthy Chief Minister has been happy for his citizens to pay for.
Insiders have told Sarawak Report that Suut’s ritual includes falling into a trance like state after steaming his eyes in a charcoal flame. One has observed:
“He will surface from the charcoal smoke, will predict, forecast and do whatever is prayed for”
We have learnt that Suut has worked for the Chief Minister since the 1990s, but is believed to have lately “lost the magic touch with the Big Boss”. However, during the course of his period in favour he managed to acquire several other business interests with further concessions in the timber and plantation businesses.

Land hand outs too
Sarawak Report has now established that one such recent concession, directly handed to him by Taib’s Land and Resources Ministry, has allowed him ownership of over a thousand hectares of land in the Bidayuh region of Serian.
The land was ’alienated’ from the native customary owners by Taib’s Planning and Resources Ministry and once again the Chief Minister handed it straight to a crony for a give-away price to be paid whenever convenient. This means that not only do the local people lose out, but the whole of Sarawak loses revenue, because the State has not even been paid the proper price for the land.

Land for spells - but no magic outcomes for the poor people of Serian!
Suut did the deal in 2007, getting the area for well under a million ringgit. Conveniently it is stated in the Land Registry that it was been agreed that the Bomoh didn’t have to magic up the cash in advance of the acquisition, as he has been given 5 years to find a purchaser to sell it on to. It is common practice for Taib’s friends and family to be let off the premium until they have made their huge profit by selling on the land to a genuine plantation company! (very close relatives don’t have to pay a premium at all).
Magic touch lets the Bomoh off his payment!
Once again the Native Customary Land Rights are ignored
As usual the Bidayuh communities of the area say they had no knowldedge of these decisions behind government closed doors until timber lorries turned up on their land and started to cut down their trees. One of the land owners, Peter Runin, told us:
“They bought their machinery, but they were stopped by the Kampong people”
Runin explains that the people are very angry about what has happened and that they immediately hired the famous Native Land Rights lawyer and PKR opposition leader Baru Bian to fight the case through the courts.
Dawos chips in
“Everyone has chipped in to pay the legal fee”,
The campaigners told us that even their local YB State Representative, the BN Minister James Dawos, has contributed to the fighting fund against the decision by his own political boss to strip his constituents of their land. We wonder if this action was in defiance of Taib or supported by him?
Favouring his sister as well? Zaleha is known to be close to Bomoh's business partner and brother in law, Francis Tan
Dawos has recently been exposed as one of the Crocodile bin Abdullah’s in a recent Sarawak Report expose and we are interested that on the one hand he is willing to crawl to BN , but on the other to curry favour with the victims of Taib’s policies with small contributions of money to try and keep their votes!
Dawos has claimed to have given RM 40,000 to the legal fighting fund, which is of course a mere fraction of the billions in profit that can be made out of the forests and lands that BN has taken from them. Sarawak Report wonders if Dawos’s contribution was actually also funded by Taib to try and prevent his actions losing BN the once safe seat? We also wonder if Dawos has not only converted to being a secret Muslim to please his boss, but has perhaps gone further. Does he also follow Taib in indulging in Bomoh black magic as well?
‘Deceiving Bomoh’
The action by Baru Bian has so far prevented any further robbery of the forests and the case comes to a full trial in June. Meanwhile, the Bomoh himself has found himself facing legal action from the Saw Mill company which had hoped to take out the timber from the area.
In order to make his quick profit from the concession Suut and his brother and law/ business partner Francis Tan (Tan Shaw Shyong) had sold on the rights to the wealthy businessman Sng Chee Hua for a cool RM 6 million ringgit. The company they used to take ownership of the concessions was called Poliga.

Sng claims the brothers in law had not warned him that the land in fact belonged to the native communities and was neither Taib’s to give nor Suut’s to sell on! Sng is also furious that Taib’s political crony, Michael Manyin Jawong, had encouraged him to go ahead and take on the Bomoh’s concession without warning him of the problems with the land. Since Bomoh Suut and Francis Tan are refusing to return the money Sng is now suing them for deception!
A close friend of the multi-millionaire businessman has told Sarawak Report that in his view Ahmad Suut is nothing more than a ‘Conman’.
Conman bomoh?
An ‘evil’ Bomoh thingy! The only thing that is really frightening is that the Chief Minister believes this stuff and he hopes if he keeps people away from proper school then they will too!
As all our religions teach us, the activities of Bomoh’s are a load of malign rubbish. The only real harm they can do is to cause considerable mischief and to waste the country a great deal of money. This situation has been particularly injurious to the poor local people of Munggu Kupi, Serian, whose land has been grabbed in order to pay off the grasping and greedy Ahmad bin Suut.
It is an outrage that a Chief Minister should allow himself to be beguiled by such dangerous nonsence.
Thirty years of such silly sorcery has to be enough. Can Sarawak please be allowed to join the rest of the modern world?
PS: Masih lagi ada pemimpin BN yang percaya pada tahyul dan BOmoh? Jangan biarkan diri kamu dikuasai oleh setan2 yang menjelma sebagai manusia.
Hasil jualan tanah-tanah ncr anda untuk mengupah bomoh-bomohku!

Gambar Hiasan pemujaan setan
Kami boleh membuktikan lagi banyak tanah yang dimiliki oleh orang-orang asal Sarawak telah dirampas oleh kroni-kroni Taib, dan kali ini pula rampasan dibuat untuk mengupah salah seorang dari bomoh-bomoh beliau, Ahmad Bin Suut! Jelaslah Taib lebih gemar mengeksploitasi orang-orang tempatan yang hidup dalam kesusahan, daripada mengupah bomoh-bomohnya menggunakan wangnya sendiri untuk kerja-kerja syirik dan ilmu hitamnya!
Kawasan hutan dan tanah NCR yang terlibat berada di kawasan kaum Bidayuh di daerah Serian, berhampiran dengan kawasan tanah NCR Ensengei yang telah diserahkan Taib kepada adiknya, Raziah Mahmud. Walau bagaimana pun, rampasan tanah-tanah di kawasan tersebut telah berakhir dengan kes mahkamah yang hebat yang telah mendedahkan Ketua Menteri dan kerajaannya sebagai membantu seorang ‘penjahat’. Kini bomoh Ahmad Suut telah didakwa kerana mencuba menjual konsesi-konsesi yang amat luas tanpa menyatakan status NCR yang terdapat pada tanah-tanah berkenaan!
Amalan-amalan yang haram
Seperti mana yang telah diketahui di kalangan kenalan-kenalan Taib, beliau mempunyai bomoh-bomoh peribadi sejak berdekad-dekad yang lalu, dan Haji Ahmad Bin Haji Suut merupakan salah seorang dari bomoh-bomoh yang membantu beliau dalam membuat apa jua keputusan yang kritikal. Kenyataan ini diperkuatkan lagi dengan keluasan kawasan bawah tanah rumah mewahnya dipenuhi dengan artifak-artifak dan mezbah-mezbah yang digunakan dalam amalan-amalan ilmu hitam!
Seperti yang pernah kami dedahkan terdahulu, Ketua Menteri telah mengupah seorang ustaz berbangsa Pakistan sebagai bomohnya dan bomoh tersebut diuruskan oleh saudaranya, Tufail Mahmud. Kali ini pula kita mendedahkan bahawa Raziah telah memperkenalkan seorang lagi bomoh wanita berambut perang kepada Taib. Taib dikatakan menggemari bomoh wanita tersebut. Ahmad Suut pula adalah warganegara Indonesia dan adik perempuan Ahmad berkahwin dengan rakan-niaganya, Francis Tan. Tan pula dikatakan mempunyai hubungan intim dengan adik Taib, iaitu Zaleha Mahmud, juga telah berkahwin.
Menggunakan khidmat bomoh dan pengamal ilmu hitam atau ilmu sihir adalah dilarang keras oleh agama Islam tetapi sering diperlekehkan oleh golongan berpendidikan. Tetapi Taib tetap menggunakan khidmat bomoh sebagai suatu cara untuk menakut-nakutkan sesiapa. Bomoh seperti Ahmad Suut mendakwa dia boleh berhubung dengan roh-roh orang yang telah meninggal dan juga jin-jin untuk membantu mengalahkan musuh-musuh mereka. Bomoh-bomoh ini dikatakan terlalu taksub dengan amalan-amalan mereka untuk mendapatkan kepercayaan para pelanggan mereka.Sarawak Report menjelaskan di sini bahawa ianya tidah gentar akan kehebatan bomoh-bomoh ini, tetapi tetap merasa marah kerana golongan yang miskin telah dipaksa membayar upah khidmat bomoh-bomoh ini.
Bomoh yang hidupnya mewah!
Haji Ahmad Bin Haji Suut yang berusia di sekitar 50-an tidak dapat berjalan dengan sempurna akibat penyakit polio, dikatakan bersifat materialistic, walaupun dia mempunyai profesyen kebomohan. Dia dikatakan berurusan dengan roh-roh orang yang telah meninggal sebagai mata pencariannya, tetapi juga memilik lebih dari 15 buah kereta mewah! Haji Ahmad juga memiliki sebuah stesen minyak di tengah-tengah bandaraya Kuching sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu, terima kasih ke atas konsesi-konsesi yang telah dihadiahkan kepadanya oleh pelanggannya, Ketua Menteri. Stesen minyak ini amatlah penting untuk mengisi tangki minyak kereta-kereta mewahnya. Setiap orang yang pernah mengisi minyak di stesen tersebut perlu ingat bahawa mereka membantu Ketua Menteri membayar subsidi kepada bomoh itu. Haji Ahmad dikatakan menggemari wanita-wanita. Dia mempunyai tiga orang isteri yang sah dan sering dilihat bergaul dengan wanita-wanita muda juga. Segala selera dan nafsu seperti ini sudah pastinya memerlukan wang yang banyak.
Kami diberitahu bahawa Haji Ahmad telah bekerja untuk Ketua Menteri sejak tahun-tahun 90-an lagi, tetapi sejak kebelakangan ini ‘kuasa ilmu hitamnya’ kian merosot di mata bosnya itu. Walau bagaimana pun bomoh tersebut telah berjaya memperolehi segala kemewahan menerusi konsesi-konsesi yang diberikan oleh Taib kepadanya. Ini termasuk konsesi pembalakan dan perladangan kelapa sawit.
Kini Sarawak Report telah mendapat suatu bukti yang melibatkan pemberian konsesi ke atas tanah NCR milik kaum Bidayuh oleh Taib. Tanah tersebut telah diukur and dibahagi dari tanah NCR orang-orang tempatan dan sekali lagi diberikan begitu sahaja kepada kroninya yang akan dibayar pada bila-bila masa sesuai. Ini bermaksud orang-orang tempatan yang telah kerugian tanah-tanah kerana dirampas begitu sahaja, malah kerajaan Negeri juga belum dibayar sebarang amaun oleh si pembelinya.
Dalam tahun 2007 Haji Ahmad telah menguruskan pemilikan tanah tersebut pada kadar harga kurang dari sejuta ringgit. Pihak Pendaftar Tanah telah bersetuju untuk menunggu bayaran premium oleh bomoh berkenaan sehingga dia berjaya menjualkan tanah itu kepada sesiapa yang sanggup membeli dalam tempoh masa 5 tahun. Amalan seperti ini kerap dilakukan oleh keluarga dan rakan-rakan Taib sehingga mereka berjaya menjual tanah untuk mendapat pulangan yang berlipat-ganda baharulah premium dibayar kepada kerajaan Negeri.
Pada kebiasaannya berlaku di tempat-tempat lain, kali ini masyarakat Bidayuh tidak mengetahui apa jua keputusan yang dibuat ke atas tanah-tanah NCR mereka kerana proses ini dilakukan secara tertutup dan rahsia, sehingga pada suatu ketika mereka dikejutkan dengan kehadiran lori-lori balak dan kelengkapan pembalakan yang lain di kawasan mereka. Salah seorang pemilik tanah NCR, Peter Runin, memeberitahu kami:
“Mereka membawa masuk segala kelengkapan pembalakan mereka ke kawasan kami, tetapi orang-orang kampung berjaya menghalang mereka”
Runi menjelaskan bahawa penduduk kampung merasa sangat marah dengan kehadiran para pembalak dan mereka terus mendapatkan khidmat guaman seorang peguam hak asasi NCR dan ketua PKR Baru Bian untuk membicarakan kes tersebut di mahkamah.
Dawos masuk campur
Para pekerja kempen pula memberitahu pihak kami bahawa YB wakil rakyat, seorang menteri BN, James Dawos dikatakan turut menyumbang kepada tabung untuk membiayai perbicaraan kes ini sebagai usaha untuk mempertahankan bosnya bagi merampas tanah-tanah dari orang-orang di kawasannya. Dawos telah didedahkan sebagai salah seorang dari Buaya Bin Abdullah dalam laporan Sarawak Report yang lalu dan kami berminat untuk mengetahui bagai mana dia merangkak menuju BN, tetapi sebaliknya bagai mana dia mengaburi mata para pengundinya dengan sumbangan-sumbangan kecil atas kesengsaraan yang mereka tanggung!
Dawos mendakwa dirinya telah menyumbangkan sebanyak RM40 ribu kepada tabung bagi memenangi kes perbicaraan tersebut, iaitu sejumlah wang yang amat kecil berbanding dengan keuntungan berbilion-bilion ringgit dari tanah-tanah NCR yang dirampas oleh BN. Sarawak Report juga mempersoalkan sama ada sumbangan Dawos itu datangnya dari Taib sendiri yang cuba digunakan untuk mempertahankan kerusi DUN yang dahulunya dianggap selamat? Kami juga meragui Dawos yang telah memeluk agama Islam secara senyap-senyap untuk menyejukkan hati bosnya, Taib, tetapi dia telah lakukan lebih dari itu. Adakah dia juga mengikuti cara Taib yang menggunakan khidmat bomoh?
Tindakan yang diambil oleh Baru Bian telah seterusnya menghalang kemaraan para penceroboh ke atas tanah-tanah NCR yang dalam persengketaan itu. Kes tersebut akan didengar sepenuhnya pada bulan Jun tahun ini nanti. Sementara itu si bomoh tersebut turut berhadapan dengan masalah perundangan dengan sebuah syarikat kilang kayu yang telah berhasrat untuk mendapatkan kayu balak dari kawasan tersebut. Untuk mendapatkan keuntungan segera dari konsesi itu, Haji Ahmad Suut dan iparnya, yang juga rakan-niaganya, Francis Tan (atau dikenali juga sebagai Tan Shaw Shyong) telah menjual tanah-tanah tersebut kepada seorang lagi usahawan kaya Sng Chee Hwa dengan harga RM6 juta. Syarikat yang mereka gunakan untuk mendapatkan hakmilik ke atas konsesi-konsesi itu dikenali sebagai Poliga.
Sng mendakwa kedua-dua ipar itu tidak pernah memberitahunya bahawa tanah tersebut dimiliki oleh orang-orang tempatan. Sng juga marah kerana seorang kroni Taib, menteri Michael Manyin Jawong, telah memujuknya untuk mendapatkan tanah itu dari bomoh, tanpa memberitahu tentang persengketaan yang berhubung dengan tanah-tanah itu. Memandangkan Haji Ahmad dan Francis Tan enggan mengembalikan wangnya, Sng kini dikatakan mendakwa mereka telah menipu dan mengelirukannya! Seorang kenalan rapat dengan usahawan kaya itu memberitahu Sarawak Report bahawa Haji Ahmad Bin Haji Suut itu sebenarnya seorang ‘penipu besar’dan juga ‘penyangak’.
Bomoh yang juga seorang penjahat dan penyangak?
Ajaran agama kita mengharamkan khidmat kebomohan. Kerosakan yang timbul dari kegiatan haram ini sebenarnya mengganggu perbelanjaan negara. Situasi ini telah mendatangkan kesengsaraan orang-orang tempatan di Munggu Kupi, Serian, yang mana tanah-tanah mereka telah dirampas untuk membiayai khidmat haram bomoh yang tamak itu. Tiga puluh taksub dengan kegiatan kebomohan yang dilarang keras oleh mana-mana agama sudah tiba masanya untuk dihentikan. Ianya amalan yang bodoh. Haruskah Sarawak dibiarkan untuk sehaluan dan seiringan dengan negara-negara lain di dunia moden ini?
