Freemason; Malay ruling class

On February 3, 2010 Tan Sri Sanusi Junid wrote to the newspaper and also published in his blogs as follows:-

“Saya memberi contoh pergerakan Freemason yang tersangat rahsia pergerakannya. Saya kenal ahli-ahli Freemason Melayu waktu saya bekerja di The Chartered Bank, Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur di mana terdapat akaun Freemason di bawah nama bendaharinya, yang bekerja di UOB di Singapura. Saya kenal siapa yang menjadi ahli pergerakan ini apabila mereka memasukkan yuran mereka ke akaun berkenaan. Saya perhatikan apabila keadaan dalam negara telah heboh mengutuk Freemason maka pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu yang menjadi anggota Freemason telah berhimpun di Equatorial Hotel untuk membuat penjelasan bahawa mereka tidak akan mengkhianati bangsanya dengan menjadi ahli Freemason. Perdana Menteri Tunku Abdul Rahman sendiri telah menjelaskan bahawa beliau menjadi ahli sebagai 'cara nak berkawan saja ... tak ada apa-apa pun.... bukan badan politik pun. ... kalau mereka rugikan Melayu saya takkan ikut mereka...”


Hence, here are some of the information confirmed by him:-


(a)    Quote : “Saya kenal ahli-ahli Freemason Melayu waktu saya bekerja di The Chartered Bank, Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur ..”


Revelation: Tan Sri Sanusi Junid was appointed as Senior Manager of Standard Chartered Bank Kuala Lumpur in 1971. So that confirms that in 1971 the Masonic movement has already been strong in Kuala Lumpur.


(b)    Quote: “waktu saya bekerja di The Chartered Bank, Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur di mana terdapat akaun Freemason di bawah nama bendaharinya, yang bekerja di UOB di Singapura..“

Revelation: There was (and still) a Freemason Account in Standard Chartered Bank Kuala Lumpur. The purpose is to collect the ‘fees’ which shall then be forwarded to United Overseas Bank in Singapore. So yes, Singapore has been the Freemason’s Centre of Asian Operation since long time ago. 


The United Overseas Bank mentioned here was founded in Singapore in 1935 by Kuching-born Datuk Wee Kheng Chiang. Interestingly enough, Datuk Wee Kheng Chiang also the man behind the founding of Bian Chiang Bank in Sarawak in 1924. Today, the UOB Bank is a leading Bank in Asia with 5 subsidiaries across Asia namely United Overseas Bank (Malaysia), United Overseas Bank (Thai), PT Bank UOB Indonesia, PT Bank UOB Buana, United Overseas Bank (China) and United Overseas Bank Philippines. 


On the other hand, the Bian Chiang Bank founded by the same man was purchased by UMNO-owned Fleet group in 1979 and renamed Bank of Commerce Berhad. Today the same bank is one of the leading Bank in Malaysia under the name of Bumiputra Commerce Bank Bank and today renamed again as CIMB.(Did you see the connections?)


(c)    “Saya perhatikan apabila keadaan dalam negara telah heboh mengutuk Freemason maka pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu yang menjadi anggota Freemason telah berhimpun di Equatorial Hotel”


Revelation: I assume this statement refers to the year 1978  when the late Haji Sulaiman Palestine challenged the late Tun Hussien Onn in UMNO general assembly because that I was told (I was only 3 years old back then) by my dad that was the first time the issues of Freemasons was highlighted in Malaysian politic and it was quite a news back then. Therefore if I interpret this statement correctly, Tan Sri Sanusi Junid was saying that some of our politician back then whom were members of Freemasons had gathered in Equatorial Hotel in the year of 1978 following the shockwave caused by the late Haji Sulaiman Palestine that year.


(d)    Quote: “Perdana Menteri Tunku Abdul Rahman sendiri telah menjelaskan bahawa beliau menjadi ahli sebagai 'cara nak berkawan saja ... tak ada apa-apa pun.... bukan badan politik pun. ... kalau mereka rugikan Melayu saya takkan ikut mereka...”.


Comments: Well, at least the question whether or not Freemasons has been here since the day of the independence had been answered. Yep, they’ve been here for a very long time. Even now we know that there’s a Dewan Freemason in Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur. Then of there’s the Penang Masonic Temple at the junction of Jalan Utama with Jalan Brown which had exists since 1924 and today managed by Penang Masonic Temple Sdn Bhd. In fact, the British Colonial Period in Tanah Melayu was started by a Freemason by the name of Captain Francis Light who hoisted the the first Union Jack on Tanah Melayu on August 11, 1786 with a promise of defending Kedah from the attack of Siam. He was be the second generation Freemasons after the the first Grand Lodge of England was formed in 1717. 


But when 1790 when Siam did attack Kedah, Francis Light turned his back on Kedah which led to the Kedah-British war followed by the total handover of Penang to British East India Company. 19 years later the first Freemason Temple named the Neptune Lodge was build on September 1809. It can be said for certain that from the day the Union Jack was hoisted on Tanah Melayu, Freemason had infiltrated our politics and shaped the history of our nation until today.


The fact that the Freemasons has been in Tanah Melayu 171 years prior to our independence is a solid reason to belief that the Freemasons has been running free in this country prior to independence day. Knowing the purpose of the Illuminati and Freemason as they really truly are, there were an awful lot of things they can do within that 171 years. There’s also no secret that the British East India Company is a company established to carry out Freemason’s purpose of “Ordo Ab Chao” (Order of the Chaos) all over the world. The company which promotes itself as Trade Company is actually the LARGEST Legalized Drug Trafficking and Slave Trading Corporation in the history of the world. The fact that Officials of the British East India Company were prominent among the members of the Grand Lodge of Masonry of England is a matter of general knowledge. The company was responsible in shaping the history of India, China, Australia, and The United States (to name a few). Therefore there was no reason for the Freemasons to wet their feet in our soil unless they’ve planned to stay for long.


The presence of Freemasons 171 years before the independence and is what fuelled the stories behind the independence process and certain events took place after that. Some stories such as the real reason behind the formation of PAS as splinters of UMNO, the formation of the Coalition, the 1965’s parliamentary resolution to have Singapore to leave the Federation, , the May 13 incident, the 1969  sacking of Tun Mahathir from UMNO  and many others does make you wonders whether our government was at that time had been infiltrated by the Freemasons. Whatever the truth is, one thing for sure. The Freemasons are here and they definitely been wearing all colors of our political parties.




(e)    If Tan Sri Sanusi Junid knew about the Freemasons then definitely his former boss Tan Sri Ghazali Shafie also knew about them, and therefore it’s safe to say that our intelligence agencies also knows about them. I have no doubts that our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir also knew about it as well as all the other former Prime Ministers of Malaysia. People then might ask, why not eradicate the movement under ISA while there is still time?


What attracts people to join the Freemasonry is the assurance of mutual help which its members pledge themselves to give on joining. A Freemason is expected to give unlimited support to other members of the society. Members have certain signs by which they come to know each other, such as the way they shake hands with other people and certain additions in their signatures on letters, etc. I believe this is attraction of joining Freemason as described by the late Tunku Abdul Rahman. However, the support pledged here is not entirely financial. So it’s not that you have to lend your money to whomever members of Freemason coming to you. 

"The purpose of allegiance is not about pledging money; instead it is more on promising a deed to be performed when the time finally came"

It sometimes reminds me of the character in the Stepehen King’s novel ‘The Needful Things’ where the Devil character Mr.Gaunt  sell items of desire in consideration of not money but a deed to be performed on certain individuals. The victims who accepted this trade thought that the transaction was an amazing bargain because the deed sounds harmless. 

However through a chain of events where multiple deeds were performed by numbers of unsuspecting people on the same time, the Devil was able to control the whole community and caused an unimaginable damage to the whole town.


Eradicating the Freemasons in Malaysia is not as easy as one could suggest. There’s a legal and common sense reasons against branding all Freemasons as enemies of the state. You have to really understand the thin veil separating the Freemasons and the Illuminati to understand most members of the Masonry are harmless. The existence of the Freemason was designed in a way similar to handful of vein of coconut palm frond (lidi kelapa). Each of the veins is harmless by its own, but a handful of it can be used to whack your ass till it bleed. 


Each person who joins the Masonry truly believes that they posed no harm to anyone. If their position remains insignificant, the posed no danger to anyone and can even contributes to the community. But once the position had shifted into something which can be used for the higher purpose, they will find that the Freemasons are more than just a gathering of a bunch of old boys. 

So you see, the laws and common sense prevents us from arresting the ordinary members who attended the gatherings at Jalan Tun Razak or Jalan Utama. These people are the insignificants who technically done nothing wrong to anyone. The one who posed the threat are not them but those who already sat in the parliament or on their way to become leaders for their respective political parties be it UMNO, PAS, DAP, PKR etc etc. Similarly the danger can also come from the Freemasons who now are stewarding the country’s media, communications and banking. These higher degrees Freemasons no longer attend the Malaysian Temples.


This is not to say that we should not try eradicates the problem. We must try because the Freemasons had done so much damage in this world. The harmless Freemason of today is the seeds of humans suffering of tomorrow. Yes some seeds never grow into poisonous trees but that doesn’t mean that we just let it be planted all over our backyards. Freemasons are thought not to believe in another being more superior than the human beings and by principle alone that is against the teachings of all religions. 

Freemason today is also the main vehicle of the Illuminati because Freemason (who promotes Capitalism) had succeeded where Communism and Socialism had failed. Members of the Freemasons who willing to trade their souls for power and worldly possession will eventually eyed a candidacy for ranks in the Illuminati.


Illuminati are the elites amongst the Freemasons. Once you’re in it then you have bestowed an honor upon yourself to sit next to Lucifer in the burning hell for eternity.


I think the government ought to do something about Freemasons in Malaysia. If the government can make a move against Al-Arqam then there should be no reason not to make a move on the Freemasons. I do not see how the Freemason can be less harmful then Al-Arqam anyway. The Freemasons never made their presence a secret in Malaysia (they have buildings and websites and even registered as companies and organization) therefore no one can make a fun of the government if the government finally decided to acknowledge the existence of Freemason in Malaysia. 

If no legal action can be taken, at least our Majlis Fatwa must issue a clear edict to prevents the Muslims from joining them. Sometimes I also cannot understand why they can issue an edict against Yoga but not on the Freemasons.


Freemasonry is a fraternal society that was founded in england in the early 1700's. The membersihp requirement included being male and believing in a supreme being. Most of its members were from the ruling class as another requirement was that the person be free - as opposed to being a slave. It was a secret society which somehow evolved to being a society of secrets. Its members are famously loyal to each other and will protect its members. Contrary to popular belief it is not a semitic or zionist society.


So we learn at the very outset in our Masonic career that indeed from the very beginning Freemasonry has enjoyed the patronage of Monarchs. This is particularly true in the United Kingdom where a whole string of Royal Princes who were members of the Craft succeeded to the Throne. They were King George IV, King William IV, King Edward VII, King Edward VIII and King George VI.


What is not commonly known is that in Malaysia Freemasonry has existed for 150 years. Freemasonry has also enjoyed the patronage of the Malay Rulers or Sultans from as early as 1906 to the present time.


H.R.H. The Sultan of Johor.
---------------------------
The first member of the Malaysian royalty to become a Freemason is undoubtedly HRH Colonel Sir Ibrahim, The Sultan of Johore. His Royal Highness was initiated into Freemasonry on 11th April 1906 in Empire Lodge No. 2108 in London and on a subsequent visit was passed to the second degree in the same Lodge.


After his passing he succeeded to the throne of Johore which prevented him from returning to England as he took his new duties and responsibilities very seriously and played a very
active role in the administration and development of the state . So he remained a Fellow Craft for fourteen years. Fortunately for Freemasonry, a new Lodge was formed in Johor Bahru and when His Royal Highness came to know about it he immediately supported it enthusiastically.


On 5th June 1920 the ceremony of his raising was conducted by the acting Deputy District Grand Master W.Bro. W.Makepeace for whom W.Bro. Lodger had vacated the Chair. It is recorded in the Pentagram that the District Grand Master was also present. In July 1920 he accepted the office of Senior Warden when W.Bro. A.J. Shelley Thompson was the W. Master.


W.Bro. Shelley - Thompson also had the distinct honour and pleasure of installing His Royal Highness as W. Master in July 1921 . The Mastership of the Sultan lasted two years and three months as during this period the Installation meeting was altered from the 3rd Saturday in July to the third Saturday in October.


As provided for in the Book of Constitutions His Royal Highness appointed a Deputy Master and W.Bro. Shelley - Thompson performed very ably in this position . Although the Sultan was not regular in his attendance at Lodge Meetings his contributions to Freemasonry in general and Johore Royal Lodge in particular were remarkable.


H.R.H. produced a 70 page book which he called "By Laws and History of Johore Royal Lodge" which was beautifully printed on art paper . This book contained general information as well as 54 By - Laws which must have been the most comprehensive of any Lodge By - Laws anywhere in the Masonic world. At the top and bottom of each page was a quotation from the Koran, each of which reflected the principles and tenets of Freemasonry.


One can imagine how much time and energy must have been spent in selecting the most suitable verses from the Koran. In examining this book one has to come to the conclusion that His Royal Highness believed that the teaching of Freemasonry are compatible and in conformity with those of the Koran . Every member of the Lodge was presented with a copy of this beautiful book and we are fortunate to have one of the original copies preserved in the Library at Freemasons Hall London . The Sultan was so keen on Freemasonry that while he was the Senior Warden his two sons (Tunku Ismail the Tunku Mahkota and Tunku Abu Bakar the Tunku Aris Bendahara) were initiated into Freemasonry on 19th March 1921.


His third son Tunku Ahmed was initiated, passed and raised in Empire Lodge No. 21 08, London and became a Joining Member of Johore Royal Lodge in the following year. During his Mastership X His Royal Highness and his three sons were all officers of the Lodge which must be a unique occurrence in Masonic history anywhere in the world.


His Royal Highness The Sultan was a most generous benefactor of the Lodge. He made sure that the Lodge was well housed and equipped in every sense of the word with an excellent charity record. Many expenses which should be paid for by the Lodge were in fact paid by The Sultan himself. At the end of his two year term of office in the Chair, the Lodge Reference Committee thought it a splendid idea to mark the occasion by purchasing its own crockery and cutlery with the Lodge crest painted or engraved on each piece which even in those days were not inexpensive. When the bills for these items arrived the Lodge Committee presumed that HH The Sultan would be pleased to pay them.


This was a very serious miscalculation, for The Sultan was furious at having been taken for granted and also for not having been consulted about this large expenditure in the first place. Not only did he refuse to pay the bills but with characteristic swiftness he resigned from the Lodge and ordered his three sons and all government servants who were members of the Lodge to do likewise.


This was a sad chapter in the history of the Lodge and illustrates the fallibility of human nature. The membership slumped to around 45 and the Lodge even lost the Army Drill Hall as its regular meeting place and had to move to a room above a coffee shop in Jalan Lumba Kuda. There is no doubt that the blame for the above events lay squarely on the Lodge Committee who should have been more sensitive to the feelings of The Sultan.


There is evidence that The Sultan may have regretted his quick temper and subsequent actions although he did not rejoin the Lodge. This would have been a big loss of face. The Sultan kept himself informed of all the activities of the Lodge and when in 1925 he heard that the Lodge was
looking for a suitable site to build its own Lodge building he made a generous offer to the Lodge. He would provide the land if the members of the Lodge would erect the building. The present Lodge building in Jalan Abu Bakar, Johor Bahru is the result of The Sultan's challenge to the members of Johore Royal Lodge.


Another item from Johor which is of interest is that the Honourable Dato Abdul Rahman C.M.G. was installed as W. Master of Empire Lodge No. 2108, London on 23rd May 1922 which it may be recalled is the mother Lodge of The Sultan and his third son. He was the first and possibly the only Malay to occupy the Chair of a London Lodge. It was a remarkable and pleasing coincidence that His Highness The Sultan and the Hon. Dato Abdul Rahman should be Masters of English Lodges at different ends of the world during the same year, some 74 years ago.


H.H. Tunku Abdul Malik Ibni Sultan Badlishah.
---------------------------------------------
The second member of the Malay Royal Family to become a Freemason was Tunku Abdul Malik Ibni Sultan Badlishah who is the younger brother of the present Sultan of Kedah. He was
initiated into Lodge Kedah No. 3830 E.C. Sungei Petani on 9th January 1959 and raised on 10th July 1959. He was 29 years old and was an Assistant Land Officer in the Kedah Civil Service. He was proposed by W.Bro. Ahmad Sherriff, the W.Master of Lodge Kedah and seconded by Bro. A. Halliday. He was appointed as Inner Guard one month later. He served as
Senior Deacon in 1960, Junior Warden in 1961 and Senior Warden in 1962 On 14th August 1965 he was installed as Worshipful Master of Lodge Kedah by W.Bro Mustapha Osman, P.A.G.D.C., A.D.G.M.


After his year as immediate Past Master he was appointed Chaplain from 1967 to 1970. He was honoured by the District Grand Master with the ranks of District Grand Steward in 1968, D.G. Standard Bearer in 1969 and Past District Grand Director of Ceremonies in 1972. On 7th December 1974 he was appointed District Senior Grand Warden by R.W.Bro. J.W.Y. Eu, District Grand Master. In 1979, Tunku Malik resigned from the Lodge due to circumstances beyond his control. However he is still a Mason at heart and through the years His Highness and his Consort regularly graced the Ladies' Festivals and other Lodge Functions. Those of us who were present at our Half-Yearly Communication held in Sungei Petani, Kedah on 12th June 1993 must have noticed the presence of H.H. Tunku Abdul Malik.


For the information of those not familiar with the history of Kedah, Tunku Malik was The Regent of Kedah from 1970 to 1975 when his elder brother HRH The Sultan of Kedah became the King of Malaysia.

HRH Sultan Idris Ibni Sultan Iskandar Shah
------------------------------------------
Raja Idris Ibni Sultan Iskandar Shah was 35 years old and already the Raja Muda (Crown Prince) of Perak when he was initiated into Freemasonry in Lodge Napier No. 3418 EC in Ipoh on 9th July 1960. He was proposed by W.Bro. C.M.Yusuf the W. Master of the Lodge and seconded by W.Bro. R.Boxall.


Six months after he was raised Raja Idris was appointed Inner Guard on 9th Sept.1961 The next year he was appointed the Assistant Director of Ceremonies. In the meantime he succeeded to the throne and became HRH The Sultan of Perak and did not hold any office in his Lodge for the next 13 years . On 3rd Sept. 1975 W. Bro. Yan Poh Lok appointed HRH Sultan Idris as his Senior Warden. On 11th Sept. 1976 HRH Sultan Idris was installed as the W.Master of Napier Lodge No. 3418 E.C. by R.W.Bro. J.W.Y.Eu the District Grand Master who was assisted by W.Bro. Sulaiman bin Edar, Bro. Tan Sri Abdul Aziz bin Zain, W.Bro. Yeo Tiam Siew and W.Bro. E.L.S. Jennings who was the Director of Ceremonies.


HRH The Sultan did not formally appoint a Deputy Master as provided for in the Book of Constitutions and W.Bro. Yan Poh Lok who is now the President of the Board of General Purposes in the District Grand Lodge acted for him whenever he was called away on official duty. As W.Bro. Yan Lok did not install his own successor as W.Master, he had the pleasure to do so in installing the successor to HRH TheSultans as W. Master of Napier Lodge.


Conclusion.
-----------
It is a source of pride to me as a Malaysian to know that some of the Malay Rulers were very enlightened and appreciated the teachings of Freemasonry and found them compatible with Islamic principles . It must be remembered that Kedah and Johore are very traditional Islamic states which until just a few years ago still observed Friday instead of Sunday as a public holiday . It is also possible that a member of the Pahang Sultanate could have been a Freemason but since the Lodge there is under the Scottish Constitution I have not carried out any research on it.
