Tucker Teng gets 18 years in jail for drug price fixing and tax evasion.

Former T-Blet CEO Tucker Teng has been sentenced to 18 years in jail for deliberately manipulating the prices of his company's drug products as well as tax evasion.

Between 2008 and 2014, Mr Teng increased the prices of all the drug products by 5 fold. He also increased his salary from BL$33 million in 2009 to BL$330 million in 2014, a 10 fold increase. He also falsely claimed that he was only paid BL$1 per year. The vast majority of his income comes from stock options, which is also taxed but he did not declare his stock options.

The 50 year old was eventually caught in November 2014 when a tip-off was given to the police.

Mr Teng sat silently as the High Court gave his sentence but kept twidling his thumbs. Those in attendance noted the True Conservative Movement badge he is wearing, indicating his support for the hardline conservative group. After Justice Cosmo Liang Yingguo finished, Teng stuck middle fingers at everyone inside the court room and called them 'Communist traitors' as he was escorted out of the Pyongjing High Court.

Museum goer banned from New Xinjiang National Museum.

An overtly enthusiatic amateur historian has been permanently banned from the New Xinjiang National Museum after he accidently sneezed onto the last known copy of the 1810 census.

The incident ocurred on Monday afternoon when Sheldon Yee Dihua was granted access to the archives for research purposes. However, his violent expulsion of saliva caused by his sneezing had landed on the pages, causing it to shrivel.

The pages affected were damaged beyond repair as the saliva damaged the writings. As a result, the museum declared Mr Yee persona non grata permanently. They have also made the annoucnement that they will not gave anyone access to the archives starting today. "Not the historians, not a big name, not the President. We’ve been compensated for the value, but it’s not about the money. It’s about the preservation of Bai Lungese history and Bai Lungese heritage.” Said Senior Manager Jo Jung.

Labour Party will lose all seats by 2020 election, predicts Suzuki Nozomu.

Posted Image

Former Secretary of the Bai Lung Labour Party Suzuki Nozomu (Pictured above) has predicted that the Labour Party will lose every single seats that they currently hold at the Bai Lungese Assembly by the 2020 general election.

The 74 year old former Labour Party member warned his former colleagues that if they continue to adopt far left-wing policies and keeping Li An Ying, then they risk losing every single seat to the Conservative Party. Mr Suzuki switched to the Conservatives in September 2009, citing dissatisfaction with the direction of the Labour Party.

Quote:
 
'The Labour Party that I knew during the Interim Administration period, is dead. The so-called Labour Party, as it now stands, is a far-left wing party that is out of touch with the Bai Lung of today. The Conservative party is the only political party that embraces the patriotic Bai Lungese ideals that I have held for so long. Li An Ying, Richard Im and Berty He are the main reasons why the Labour Party is losing political clout since 2010. Their far-left positions is simply incompatible with the views of the Bai Lungese people. By 2020, there will not be a single constituency held by the Labour Party if they continue to sell their far-left image to the masses.'


Mr Suzuki did not pull any punches on the other parties. He predicted a wipeout for the minor parties.

Quote:
 
'Democrats, Greens and Marxists. They are really, really far-left. The Bai Lungese will not accept these views and would vote them all quickly. These parties are the first to go before they set their target to the Labour Party. They are bound to lose half this year, followed by reduction of 20-30 Labour politicians in 2018, followed by a wipeout in 2020.'


Mr Suzuki is skeptical of the existance of the True Conservative Movement. He believes that they are really Labour activists trying to paint his party as being full of extemists.

Quote:
 
'The TCM people are really Labour party members trying desperately to win back voters who have now abandoned them. They are making it look like there is a civil war amongst different factions of our party and they do this by creating this fictitious group called the True Conservative Movement. They present themselves as a faction that hates government in any shape or form. As far as I know, there is only one faction and that is the Conservatives. A True Conservative is a strong believer of strong governmemt, strong defense, strong liberty, low taxes, low spending and above all: Bai Lungese! The Labour Party is failing to paint the Conservatives as the extremist party when in reality, it is the Labour Party who are the extremists. More taxes, more spending. That's extreme. There are no parties who advocate the abolition of government. The Conservative Party believes in limited government.'


When asked about the expulsion of 85 MLAs, all of whom are affiliated with the True Conservative Movement. Mr Suziki replied:

Quote:
 
'It was a temporary fallout. Some members did not like the rhetoric of PM Lin but if you look closely at his views, he policies were in line with what the 85 wanted.'

'Iffan Omarsk is a Bai Lungese sympathiser, Jumyri Andropev is a fraud.' declares Kashgar spiritual leader front-runner Boreesh Korbachiv.

Kashgar politician and spiritual leader candidate Boreesh Korbachiv has lambasted his two closest rivals during a visit in Northern Bayroobari.

The leadership election is said to take during May according to the most reliable sources pertraining to Kashgar related affairs. Frontrunner Korbachiv has continued his harsh criticism of rivals Iffan Omarsk and Jumyri Andropev.

Mr Korbachiv was quoted as saying during a campaign rally: "Mr Omarsk is a Bai Lungese sympathiser who is only interested in filling his coffers at the expense of the Kashgars. Then, we have Andropev who is a phony and a fraud. He is an opportunistic scoundrel who claims to have connections with Bischkek State, the group invented by the Bai Lungese occupiers. We are all freedom fighters by nature and that the idea that these people are freedom fighters is absurd! I will win this fight. Bischkek bless us all!"

Omarsk and Andropev have yet to make a response to the scathing comments made by Korbachiv.

Iffan Omarsk hits back at Boreesh Korbachiv '[Korbachiv] is poster child of appeasement.'.

Iffan Omarsk has hit back at spiritual leader front runner Boreesh Korbachiv 24 hours after the front runner called Mr Omarsk a Bai Lungese sympathiser.

Holding his own campaign trail in Yoonbari, Mr Omarsk called out on Mr Korbachiv's hypocrisy in his rhetoric by highlighting his inaction to stop the Yoonbari council from demolishing 200 Kashgar owned homes to make way for 250 new houses. Mr Omarsk spoke at the site of the former shanty town.

Quote:
 
'My opponent calls me a Bai Lungese sympathiser. I call him the poster child of appeasement. Back in 2011 when he was incharge of the Yoonbari community, he did not do anything when the Bai Lungese occupiers of Yoonbari decided to demolish our homes to make way for more houses for their people. He is the poster child of appeasement. He showed no backbone, he is a coward. Why should we vote for a traitor, an appeaser and a coward.'

Kashgar spiritual leader straw poll leaked.

A straw poll for the 2016 Kashgar spiritual leader election hsa been leaked by an unknown source.

The poll shows that 5,000 Kashgars took part in the poll with the front runner Boreesh Korbachiv in a closer tussle than previously assumed with 47% of the votes going to compared to 45% going to his closest rival Iffan Omarsk. Third party candidate Jumyri Andropev got 8%.

Korbachiv was quick to condemn the Bai Lungese media for reporting the leaked poll, claiming it is 'Woo woo made up by the occupiers to besmirch Kashgar sovereignty. We never release straw polls. The real poll is the one when the election is held. That's the one that matters for the people.'

Calypso song narrowly retains top sport for 72nd consecutive week.

The Calypso hit song "Take Your Money" by Jay J. Ahn has narrowly retained its top spot for the 72nd consecutive week, beating "My Love" by DJ SKIT ZO.

My Love, an electronic dance song, is the latest challenger to topple the long running song but it fell short by 35 copies.

As of March this year, the Jay J. Ahn song has now sold 69.5 million copies. Crescendo Magazine held a poll asking readers which is the greatest song to be produced in Bai Lung. Take Your Money was ranked number 1 by an overwhelming margin.

Chiba Seto hospitalised after sudden collapse.

Former Interim Administrator Chiba Seto has been sent to hospital after he suddenly collapsed at his home in Pyongjing.

His wife Ming Jinlei phoned emergency services as soon as she saw the 69 year old lay almost still on the kitchen floor. Despite the sudden collapse, Mr Chiba did not lose consciousness and was able to speak to the paramedics albeit in a slow and slurred manner.

The former inter admin was known for his combative personality during his 3 month tenure in 2008 before he was ousted through a vote of no confidence spearheaded by Richard Im. The vote was the culmination of a series of political blunders that occurred under his watch such as the For'af race riot of 2008, the murder of a hockey coach by two Bai Lungese players, the lack of security at the Zhongjingmen which resulted in an arsonist setting fire to the historical building and Chiba's confrontation with a group of overseas Bai Lungese living in Kelssek which lead to a violent brawl. Mr Chiba's decision to give BL$200 million in foreign aid to Kelssek was a subject of criticism.

Bunker Jang fined by FABL for 'non-participation' of interviews.

The Football Association of Bai Lung has fined Port To F.C striker Bunker Jang BL$5,000 for the 2nd time in 3 months for the same offence: giving only monosyllabic answers during post-match interviews. He committed the offence following his team's friendly victory over Sing Ren Lions FC by a scoreline of 3-1.

Mr Jang at most delivered 2 sentences throughout the post-match interview. The most he spoke during the interview was: "I think we can tackle Chen Tai Soon FC pretty well. No problems."

The nation's football body has warned that 'non-participation' of interviews by answering in only few words damages the sport and talking promotes a healthy image. Mr Jang was also warned that his fines will increase with every subsequent offence.

Man receives life imprisonment for collecting Chen Jong Sun memorabilla.

A 75 year old man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for collecting 'a life's worth of Chen Jong Sun memorabilia' by the High Court of Bai Lung.

Long Zeer showed no remorse in his confession of collecting souvenirs related to the late Stalnist dictator. It is currently an offense to possess such souvenirs with museums given an exemption. Depending on the amount of contraband possessed, the offender will get anywhere from 10 to life imprisonment.

In Mr Long's case, police found a 'warehouse full' of Chen related goods after a neighbour tipped off the authorities in July last year.

REVOLT! REVOLVING! REVOLTING! spiritual sequel greenlit.

A spiritual sequel to the critically panned Marcel Chen political comedy REVOLT! REVOLVING! REVOLTING! has been greenlit by Linda Productions, Chen's own production company.

Mr Chen said that the working title is The Eight Erratic Egos of the Establishment. Little is known about the sequel other than the film will take place in the same universe as the predecessor.

REVOLT! REVOLVING! REVOLTING! was poorly received and was even named worst film of 2013 by film magazine Film Zone,

Police cautions pipe wielding streaker in Chiba Seto attempted assault.

In a surprise move, the police have released Hu Shajian without charging despite attempting to assault former interim admin Chiba Seto with a pipe at the front entrance of Pyongjing Central Hospital.

Mr Chiba was discharged yesterday afternoon after a health scare. Doctors were satisfied of Mr Chiba's fast recovery from his mild stroke although he was advised not to go out for the next 5 days.

Hu Shajian ran towards the 69 year old naked and wielded a foot long steel pipe and reportedly shouted "YOU J-- SCUMBAG! DIE! FREE BAI LUNG!" before he was tackled to the ground by security.

True Conservative Movement hails Xin Bucheng council seat win.

The True Conservative Movement in Xin Bucheng have hailed a 'momentous victory' after a hardline Conservative candidate won a council seat in yesterday's special council election.

The seat was previously vacated by Labour's Ernest Cheng Xier. Mr Chang died in 2nd February of a sudden stroke. TCM activists have used Mr Cheng's death to aggressively campaign for the seat.

The hardliner Liang Shabi won the seat, garnering 65% of the vote. Liang said of the victory: "The Bai Lungese people have spoken their minds and they don't want to genuflect to big government. The time of personal responsibility has come.'

Luxury residential prices to increase 10%.

Luxury home prices is set to rise by 10% percent this year compared with mass-market prices, which could increase by up to 30 percent, a leading realtor forecast today.

It is the highest price hike since the establishment of the Free Republic of Bai Lung in 2007. Luxury homes cost an average of BL$1.5 million, compared to an average of BL$75,000 for mass-market homes.

Labour Party leader Li An Ying has piled pressure on the Liang administration and the Conservative controlled assembly by calling for the increase of the minimum wage to BL$25/hour. Mr Li says a progressive and sound solution is needed to counteract the increasingly exorbitant prices.

100 Kashgars arrested in New Xinjiang over 'bread tax'.

100 Kashgars have been arrested after they protested in opposition to a 'bread tax', a policy they regard as being unfair to the Kashgar people.

Only 48 hours ago, Secretary of the Treasury Jack Liang King-hua has announced a 5% tax on breads for the 2016/17 budget. Liang, a self-descriped cultural conservative, said the tax is needed because bread is not a Bai Lungese food staple, despite an estimated 20 million tons of bread consumed in the country every year. Liang has called for Bai Lungese to consume 'more Chinese food' and to reject 'outsider cuisine'.

It is estimated that the bread tax will raise BL$125 million per year.

The Kashgar protested outside of the Pyongjing City Hall, claiming that the new tax is deliberately targeting their staple food; the laffash, a flatbread commonly eaten in Kashgar cuisine.

Police arrested 100 people after a group clashed with the authorities.

Jack Liang King-hua shoots down resignation rumours.

Secretary of the Treasury Jack King-hua has vehemently denied rumours that he would step down from his position after a massive fall-out between him and President Liang.

The rumours started at around the same time Mr Liang announced the 2016/17 budget, which was approved by both chambers of the assembly. The rumour began with an e-mail from an unknown source, sent to an aide to the President. The e-mail alleges that the President did not like the senior cabinet member's general attitude and demanded that 'he find a better job elsewhere'.

The rumour spreaded like wild fire. Pundits even jumped into the discussion, claiming hardline Conservative Bao Daxian would replace Mr Liang.

Mr Liang has denied that he and the president do not get along. In fact, he told Pyongjing Daily that his relationship with the president is 'stronger than ever.'

Laffash tax will not be scrapped, Jack Liang King-hua claims.

The bread tax will not be scrapped despite a spate of protests in the mainland by Kashgar activists, according to Secretary of the Treasury Jack King-hua.

The tax, also known as the laffash tax by the Kashgar, directly impacts the Kashgar bread making industry. Many shops have know raised the price of bread by an anverage of 30 cents to reflect on the tax increase.

Mr Liang said the tax also plays a part in eliminating the budget deficit, which stands at a stubborn 1.7%. Initial reports say that the deficit will be eliminated by 2017 but the Liang administration released their 2016 budgetry report, admitting that there will no surplus until 2023.

Lottery Commission of Bai Lung to verify BL$25 million claim.

The Lottery Commission of Bai Lung will verify a claim made put forward by an individual, claiming to hold a winning ticket for the 20th March draw.

Elly Ai, from Chongkim, claims to hold the winning numbers 5,11,15,27,42 and 45 but the ticket was soaking wet as it was still inside her jeans during a routine wash. The numbers are barely legible as a result. Ms Ai could have won BL$25 million.

To date, there have been 100 cases of unclaimed lottery winnings but only 1 has been verified, awarding BL$1.5 million to a winner in Sing Ren in 2011.

New Shanxi councillor pleads guilty to bribery.

A New Shanxi councillor has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes of up to BL$2.5 million during a period of 18 months.

Ma Jian, a Conservative, admitted at the Pyongjing High Court that he accepted a 'massive largess' from someone purported to be a CEO from a casino firm, and would reciprocate the favour by granting the casino the right to build 3 casinos in the city centre. The offer turned out to a series of sting operations conducted by the New Shanxi police force with the tacit approval of the Liang administration.

Mr Ma's corrupt activities were also captured on video when he agreed to meet representatives of the casino firm at the Han-Xiao Hotel in Northern New Shanxi. Mr Ma held 12 meetings between October 2013 and March 2015. It was the 12th meeting that gave the most telling evidence of corruption as Mr Ma was seen accepting a briefcase containing BL$1 million as a deposit.

Simon Hur Kabyong, the chief prosecutor, said it is one of the worst cases of corruption in the country.

The jury will give a verdict to determine the outcome of the case.

Naked heckler arrested in Sing Ren Town Hall meeting.

A man was arrested after turning up naked at a Town Hall meeting in Sing Ren where Secretary of the Treasury Jack Liang King-hua was spekaing.

Mr Liang was in the city to defend many of President Liang's economic policies which is seen by many as being unfair to the working class. Mr Liang has refuted criticisms from the left, saying the President's policies are helping the working class.

Marlon Deng Jin interupted the meeting with him and 300 constituents by walking inside the premise without clothing. Mr Deng was able to shout left wing slogans before being escorted by security.

According to a spokesperson to Mr Liang, the Secretary of the Treasury was in no serious danger. In fact, Mr Liang posted a humourous message on ThrushXpress making light of the incident.

Lower Assembly suspends session after Labour MLA backbencher causes disruption.

The Lower Assembly have suspended yesterday's session after outspoken Labour MLA backbencher Derrick Wu filibustered and heckled Prime Minister Lin over his plans to impose further cuts to public spending.

Mr Wu, from Zibo and Zihong, repeatedly prevented PM Lin from presenting his case for additional cuts of BL$2.5 billion over 5 years, to further close the budget deficit after the intital deadline of closing the gap by 2017 is now an unlikely scenario.

The outspoken left-wing backbencher kept reading passages from Art of War by Sun Tzu as the PM attempted to defend his plans. Mr Wu was then asked by Speaker of the House Don Zhuang to leave the debating chamber. When Mr Wu refused, security grabbed him by his neck. Mr Zhuang then announced that the session will be suspended for 24 hours, causing some dismay amongst his follow colleagues.

Mr Wu is known for his colourful demeanour as well as his litany of controversial incidents including a 2012 incident involving Mr Wu grabbing the ceremonial mace and waving it around aimlessly. Mr Wu and Conservative MLA Darrell Ai Sha hold the distinction of being the most disruptive MLAs as evidenced by the sheer number of forced removals from the debating chambers. Both men were removed 25 times per year on average.

Labour Party lags behind in recent polls.

The Labour Party has been consistently lagging behind the Conservative Party according to a general election poll conducted by the Pyongjing Daily.

The centrist party has only gathered 20% of the vote for the Lower House elections compared to 68% for the Conservatives. When the percentage translates to seats gained, the results are startling for Labour. The best case scenario suggested Labour would only retain 20 seats in the Lower House and the worst case scenario is total wipeout for the party, as predicted by former Labour Chairman Suzuki Nozomu.

Prime Minister has a 54/44 favourability rating compared to 21/75 unfavourable rating for Li An Ying, the Labour party leader.

More arrests of corrupt officials.

Two more officials, both from the mainland, have been arrested on suspicion of corruption.

Brothers Tian Silu and Tian Sinam were arrested at the Silverback Bar in Northern Turkenbari. Both men have been accused of embezzling over BL$20 million from the Turkmen council budget over 7 years.

Authorities charge that both men attempted to cover their tracks through complicated schemes. An anonymous tip-off informed the policies of the Tien brother's activities last week.

Both men face 25 years in prison if they are found guilty.
