Classified By: Political Counselor Mark D. Clark for reasons 1.4 (b and
d).
Summary
-------
¶1. (C) This cable provides a preliminary review of Prime
Minister Najib Razak's close aides and political associates,
known associated companies, and business contacts, as well as
summary information on Najib's four brothers. The review is
based on information available prior to Najib's confirmation
as Prime Minister on April 3 and his formation of his Cabinet
on April 9. Najib's aides could find themselves in positions
of influence with the PM's office, while four political
associates from his inner circle have taken positions in
Najib's cabinet. Post identified 16 companies with strong
links to Najib and his family, with many of the companies
having substantial business interaction with the government.
Among the 19 key business leaders listed, Rohana Mahmood
stands out as deeply embedded in the Najib family's
commercial interests. Najib's family has personal links to
the Sultan of Perak, of note given Najib's involvement in
wresting control of the state from opposition hands in
February (ref B). Syed Mokhtar Albukharry, a major Malaysian
investor in Iran, has significant business operations in
Najib's constituency and in the defense sector. The Embassy
provides this information, not as a definitive study, but to
help guide Department offices as they examine Najib's
emerging administration and policy decisions, and identify
actors of influence. End Summary.
Political Aides
---------------
¶2. (C) According to Embassy's information, including one
well-placed source, Najib's three closest advisors are
Shahlan Ismail, Alias Anor, and Shafie Mohd Abdullah.
Previously, Alias was Najib's political secretary, but has
since assumed the role of a key advisor. Shahlan and Shafie
are Najib's current political secretaries, with Shahlan
filling the position since April 2008.
Political Associates
--------------------
¶3. (C) Post developed the following list of close political
associates by speaking with informed observers, including
those on Najib's current political team, and by identifying
individuals who have worked closely with Najib, some since he
was the UMNO Youth Chief from 1988-1993.
-- Hishamuddin Tun Hussein, named Home Minister in Najib's
new cabinet. He was the former UMNO Youth Chief and Minister
of Education under PM Abdullah Badawi. Najib and Hishamuddin
are cousins (their mothers are sisters). Hishamuddin was
elected to one of three UMNO Vice President posts during the
March party elections.
-- Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Najib's choice as Defense Minister.
He was a Minister in the PM's Department for religious
affairs under PM Abdullah Badawi. He was also a former
political secretary to Najib and former UMNO Youth Chief.
Ahmad was elected to one of three UMNO Vice President posts
during the March UMNO party elections.
-- Nazri Abdul Razak, retained by Najib as Minister in the
PM's Department in charge of parliamentary affairs, a
position he also held under former PM Abdullah Badawi.
Former UMNO Perak Youth Chief and was the UMNO International
Bureau Chief when Najib was the Youth Chief. Nazri had
lobbied for the position of Foreign Minister in Najib's new
cabinet.
-- Shafie Apdal, named by Najib as Rural Development
Minister. He was Minister of National Unity, Culture, Arts,
and Heritage under former PM Abdullah. He is Najib's point
man in Sabah, former UMNO Youth Sabah chief and was Najib's
deputy at the Ministry of Defense (1999-2004). Shafie was
elected to one of three UMNO Vice President posts during the
KUALA LUMP 00000268 002 OF 005
recently concluded party elections in March.
-- Jamaluddin Jarjis, former UMNO Youth Chief for the state
of Pahang. He was Najib's chief campaign strategist during
the party's elections in March. Jamaluddin is a member of
UMNO's Supreme Council. Some observers expected Jamaluddin
to be included in Najib's Cabinet, but he was not.
-- Johan Jaafar, former editor in chief of Utusan Malaysia
newspaper owned by the ruling party, is Najib's media point
man. According to sources, Johan will be appointed as
executive director of The New Straits Times Press Berhad
(NSTP) (the publisher of the government-dominated mainstream
newspapers New Straits Times, Berita Harian and Harian Metro)
as well as chair of Media Prima Berhad, which operates all of
Malaysia,s private television stations and two private radio
stations.
-- Mohd Zin Mohamed, Minister of Works under PM Abdullah and
former UMNO Youth leader. He is a member of UMNO's Supreme
Council.
Political Ally
--------------
¶4. (C) Newly-named Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin
emerged as a key Najib ally over the past year. Muhyiddin
was the most prominent UMNO leader responsible for forcing
former Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi to agree to step down
in favor of Najib after the March 2008 elections. Najib
personally but quietly supported Muhyiddin as the choice for
Deputy UMNO President after Ali Rustam, Melaka Chief Minister
and former UMNO Senior Vice President, was barred from
contesting for the post for corruption. During the March 24
- 28 UMNO General Assembly, Muhyiddin pledged to be "ultra
loyal" to Najib. Muhyiddin won the UMNO deputy president
post, which by tradition carries with it the Deputy Prime
Minister position. In addition, Najib made Muhyiddin
Education Minister, an important patronage position but
without access to the central levers of power. Observers
debate how close Muhyiddin really is to Najib as some
consider him as ambitious and a possible rival to Najib under
certain circumstances. Some observers have indicated
Muhyiddin has yet to completely satisfy Najib of the new
DPM,s loyalty. Their relationship bears watching before we
can draw firm conclusions.

build an initial picture of the companies associated with

Najib and his Brothers
----------------------
¶7. (C) Najib, who is the eldest son of former Prime Minister
Abdul Razak, is said to consult closely with his four
brothers, who all have extensive commercial ties.
-- Johari Razak, the second eldest brother and a close friend
of Perak Crown Prince Raja Nazrin Shah. He is a lawyer and
senior partner at Shearn Delamore & Co, a large law firm in
KUALA LUMP 00000268 005 OF 005
Kuala Lumpur. His areas of practice include corporate and
commercial joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions;
corporate restructuring; and the listing of public companies.
He is also the Chairman of Courts Mammoth Pte Ltd and Daiman
Development Berhad, a director of Hong Leong Industries
Berhad, Nylex Berhad, Daiman Golf Berhad, and Deutsche Bank
(Malaysia) and a non-executive director in several publicly
listed companies.
-- Mohamed Nizam Razak studied politics, philosophy, and
economics at Oxford University. He was a stockbroker and CEO
of PB Securities Sdn Bhd in the 1990s. He is currently a
non-executive director in several publicly listed companies
including Hiap Teck Venture Bhd, Mamee Double-Decker (M) Bhd,
Delloyd Ventures Bhd, and Yeo Hiap Seng (M) Bhd. Like
Johari, Nizam is also a director of Deutsche Bank.
-- Mohamed Nazim Razak, the fourth brother, studied
architecture in the UK. He is Chairman of Meru Utama an
outdoor advertising company that received a seven-year
advertising concession in 2007 to advertise the Kuala Lumpur
International Airport and Low-cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT).
He is also Chairman of the Governing Council of Masterskill,
a private University/College (the Pro Chancellor is Raja
Azureen Raja Azlan Shah, the daughter of the Sultan of Perak)
and Director of OYL Industries (a subsidiary of Hong Leong
Group of Companies).
-- Nazir Razak, the youngest brother, is the most well known.
He obtained a Master of Philosophy at Cambridge University.
He is a career banker, joining CIMB Investment Bank almost 20
years ago and rising through its executive ranks to become
its CEO in 1999. Following the merger of CIMB and
Bumiputra-Commerce Bank, to become Bumiputra-Commerce
Holdings Bhd (BCHB), Nazir became CEO of the merged group.
Under his watch, the BCHB group, which is branded as CIMB
group, was transformed into a GLC bank that could compete
with its peers in the private sector regionally. Informed
observers widely believe Nazir advises Najib on finance and
economic policy issues.
