Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud’s daughter and her developer husband are proud owners of Ottawa’s second most expensive house, worth RM28.3 million.
The palatial home belonging to Jamilah Hamidah Taib and her husband Sean Murray is ranked No 2 among the most expensive private residences in the Canadian capital, according to the Municipal Property Assessment Corp.
“The couple's house at 688 Manor Ave in Rockcliffe Park, completed late last year, is worth C$9,609,000 (RM28.3 million), assessors have decided,” daily Ottawa Citizen reported in on Jan 19.
Jamilah and Murray are high-flying business people - they both own Sakto Corporation, a major real estate operator in Ottawa.
...
Jamilah and members of her family are owners of top Sarawak companies, including conglomerate Cahaya Mata Sarawak (CMS).
CMS is headed by Taib’s son Sulaiman Abdul Rahman and brother Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib, and a sizable stake of the company is owned by the chief minister’s wife, Leila Taib.
On Thursday night, international broadcaster Al-Jazeera’s 101 East programme screened a special report on the award of lucrative state government contracts to companies controlled by Abdul Taib’s family.
Taib, who has been chief minister in Sarawak for 27 years, filed a law suit two years ago against Malaysiakini over a report on alleged timber kickbacks paid by Japanese shippers to a company in Hong Kong said to be linked to Taib’s family.
The case is to be heard in the High Court later this year.

Now don't you think that it beats the online declaration of assets of Selangor ADUN...At least, we know know where the 'Sungai Wang' has flowed to...yes, flowed from Sarawak all the way to Ottawa!
