Statutory Declaration of ASP Mior Fahim Bin Ahmad (G/13237)

In 2007, six (6) police officers and two (2) underworld figures signed Statutory Declarations alleging that senior police officers right up to the IGP have links with the Chinese drugs, prostitution, illegal gambling and loan-shark syndicate based in Johor and which was expanding its operation throughout Malaysia. Another police officer made a police report alleging that his family was kidnapped by the ACA to force him to change his statement while the head of the CCD and his lawyer were arrested and charged for alleged criminal offenses as punishment for detaining underworld bosses under the Emergency Ordinance.

AKUAN BERKANUN

Saya, Hong Kin Hock (G/10990) yang beralamat ……………………………………………………………………….. dengan ini sesungguhnya dan seikhlasnya berikrar dan menyatakan seperti berikut:-

1. Saya bekerja sebagai seorang pegawai polis berpangkat Assisten Superintenden Polis (ASP) di Cawangan Operasi/Bantuan Teknik Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial (JSJK), Kompleks Kerajaan, Bukit Perdana, Jalan Dato’ Onn 50502 Kuala Lumpur. Sebagai pegawai JSJK, saya menerima arahan dari pegawai atasan di JSJK. Saya membuat Akuan ini demi menjaga keselamatan peribadi dan integriti saya sebagai seorang pegawai polis berhubung tugasan dan siasatan yang saya lakukan dan arahan yang saya terima.


2. Pada 20/06/2006, saya menerima arahan daripada YDH Dato’ Pengarah JSJK melalui ACP Hamzah Md Som, KPP Operasi untuk mengumpul maklumat-maklumat mengenai kegiatan ceti haram di kawasan Johor dan Melaka, terutamanya yang melibatkan Sindiket Along “Tangkak Kia” yang dikatakan sangat aktif and mempunyai rangkaian di seluruh Malaysia. Saya telah menghantar 5 anggota detektif untuk membuat siasatan dan pengumpulan maklumat di Johor dan Melaka.

3. Pada 24/10/2006, susulan dari siasatan ini saya telah berjumpa dengan “Sumber“ yang mendedahkan beberapa maklumat mengenai kegiatan ceti haram di Tangkak, oleh penama yang dikenali sebagai Ah Kooi, Ah Seng, Ah Hang dan Tengku. Sumber dedahkan bahawa disamping terlibat kegiatan ceti haram, mereka juga terlibat dalam kegiatan haram lain seperti ekor haram, bookie bola dan bookie lumba kuda. Sindiket ini dikatakan sering menggunakan nama YDH Tan Sri KPN untuk melindungi aktiviti mereka tetapi tiada bukti jelas menunjukkan terdapatnya hubungan sedemikian.

4. Pada 20/01/2007, Sumber memberitahu saya bahawa seorang kawannya yang dikenali sebagai Richard adalah sangat rapat dengan YDH Tan Sri KPN dan banyak membantu kawan-kawan dalam pasukan polis untuk dinaikkan pangkat. Sumber meminta saya untuk memberi butir-butir peribada saya kepada Richard untuk disampaikan kepad YDH Tan Sri KPN. Saya tidak membantah dan memberi nombor polis, nama dan tempat tugas saya yang terkini.

5. Pada 24/03/2007 jam 1500 – 1600, dalam perjumpaan ini beliau memberitahu saya bahawa Ah Kooi dan Ah Sang (Melaka) telah bergaduh kerana masalah kewangan. Orang yang menjadi batu api adalah Tengku (Johor). Hal ini telah saya maklumkan kepada ACP Hamzah bin Md Som dan juga YDH Dato’ PJSJK. Pada masa yang sama Sumber juga memberitahu bahawa Richard memaklumkan bahawa nama saya telah diberikan kepada YDH Tan Sri KPN dan kemungkinan bila-bila masa Tan Sri akan memanggil saya.

6. Pada 23/04/2007 jam 2030 – 2100, saya diberitahu oleh Sumber bahawa pihak sindiket Tengku mengetahui Orang Tahanan (OT) Ong Yong Hoe telah disoal siasat oleh pegawai JSJK Bukit Aman dan mereka sedang menyiasat siapa pegawai tersebut dan tujuan soal siasat dijalankan. Saya tidak menafikan bahawa saya telah membuat soal siasat tersebut atas arahan YDH Dato’ PJSJK untuk mendapatkan maklumat-maklumat ceti haram. Sumber juga meminta saya supaya berhati-berhati kerana kemungkinan pihak Tengku akan menggunakan pengaruh mereka terhadap saya jika apa-apa berlaku.

7. Pada 22/05/2007 jam 1530, ketika sedang menjalankan serbuan bersabit “Ops. Tiong“ dikawasan Kondominium Heritage, Setapak, saya telah menerima panggilan telefon daripada Sumber bahawa Richard telah mengaturkan perjumpaan saya dengan YDH Tan Sri KPN pada jam 1700 bertempat dirumah Tan Sri, dan Sumber bersetuju untuk pergi bersama-sama saya dengan menaiki kereta saya.

8. Pada 22/05/2007 jam 1630–1730, semasa dalam perjalanan ke rumah Tan Sri di Jalan Gasing, Petaling Jaya, saya telah bertanya kepada Sumber tujuan Tan Sri hendak berjumpa dengan saya. Sumber beritahu bahaw Richard telah berikan butir-butir peribadi saya dan kemungkinan Tan Sri hendak berjumpa untuk “temuduga“. Bila ditanya apakah perlu saya beritahu jika Tan Sri bertanya mengenai hal di Skudai yang mungkin dalam pengetahuannya. Sumber cadang agar saya beritahu hal sebenar iaitu saya hanya menjalankan tugas atas arahan Pengarah JSJK dan tidak tahu hal-hal lain.

9. Pada 22/05/2007 jam 1915–1930, perjumpaan telah dibuat dengan Tan Sri KPN dengan kehadiran bersama Sumber. Antara perkara-perkara yang berbangkit adalah seperti berikut:-

Sebaik sahaja masuk ke rumah, Tan Sri KPN telah mempersilakan kami untuk duduk dan terus bertanya siapa saya dan tujuan saya berjumpa dengan beliau. Saya diam seketika dan terus melihat “Sumber“ dengan harapan beliau dapat menjelaskan tujuan sebenar perjumpaan ini. Sumber terus beritahu Tan Sri tentang nama Richard. Tanpa berfikir panjang, saya terus beritahu Tan Sri bahawa pada 17/04/2007 saya telah diarahkan oleh YDH Dato’ PJSJK untuk membuat satu rakaman percakapan risikan ke atas seorang lelaki Cina di IPD Skudai yang merupakan tahanan Emergency Ordinan (“EO“) oleh JSJ. Apabila ditanya, saya dedahkan nama OT tersebut adalah Ong Yang Hoe. Saya juga diberitahu bahawa selepas selesai rakaman percakapan ini, saya mendapat berita bahawa ada siasatan sedang dibuat oleh pihak tertentu ke atas saya atas sebab-sebab yang tidak saya ketahui. Kemudian YDH Tan Sri telah bertanyakan beberapa soalan seperti berikut:-

(a) Saya memberitahu bahawa pada 16/04/2007 selepas menerima arahan ini, saya telah maklumkan kepada DSP Mohd Salleh, PP Operasi tentang tujuan dan arahan Dato PJSJK. DSP Mohd Salleh, telah mengatur untuk saya berjumpa dengan Insp. D7 (nama tak ingat) di IPD Skudai. Saya tiba di IPD Skudai pada 17/04/2007 dan dengan kerjasama seorang anggota D7 IPD Skudai (nama tak ingat) saya telah berjaya berjumpa dengan OT Ong dan rakaman dijalankan di Bilik Mesyuarat IPD Skudai.

(b) Saya memberitahu bahwa saya tidak tahu dan saya telah diarahkan oleh Dato’ PJSJK untuk membuat rakaman risikan ke atas OT ini dengan tujuan mendapatkan maklumat mengenai ceti haram terutama yang melibatkan sindiket di Johor dan Melaka;

(c) Saya diberitahu bahawa saya telah bertanyakan OT Ong tentang penglibatannya dalam kegiatan ceti haram, tetapi OT Ong menafikan penglibatannya dalam kegiatan ceti haram kecuali penglibatan dalam ekor haram yang mana telah beliau berhenti sejak 2006. OT Ong juga berasa hairan kenapa kini beliau boleh ditangkap dan dituduh atas kesalahan EO. Pada masa yang sama OT Ong ada beritahu bahaw dia tahu ada kumpulan ceti haram dikenali sebagai “Tangkak Kia“ yang sangat aktif di Johor dan sangat ganas tetapi tiada maklumat-maklumat mengenai mereka;

(d) Saya memberitahu bahawa saya terpaksa merakam segala pendedahan haram yang dibuat oleh OT Ong memandangkan saya telah berada di Skudai dan “statement“ ini perlu disiapkan kerana ia menjadi tanggungjawab saya mendapatkan semua pendedahan yang hendak dibuat oleh OT Ong untuk dimajukan kepada YDH Dato’ PJSJK. Saya terus mencatatkan segala yang OT Ong hendak dedahkan kepada pihak polis. Seperti biasa saya ada menganjurkan beberapa soalan seperti siapa ketua sindiket ekor haram. OT Ong ada dedahkan bahawa dia bekerja dengan Heng Kiah (juga dikenali dengan panggilan Allen oleh orang lain). OT Ong juga ada dedahkan boss Heng Kiah adalah Tengku yang beliau tahu berasal dari Tangkak, tetapi tidak tahu samaada Tengku ada terlibat dalam kegiatan ceti haram.

(e) Pada masa ini saya dapati YDH Tan Sri berasa hairan dan beritahu bahawa semasa JSJ buat rakaman tidak pula OT Ong mendedahkan nama Tengku dan kini bila JSJK rakam OT Ong dedahkan pula nama Tengku. Tan Sri kemudian didapati membuat panggilan kepada seseorang dengan beliau panggil sebagai “Dato Khalid” dan bertanyakan mengenai pengetahuannya tentang pengawai JSJK yang telah diarahkan oleh Pengarah JSJK untuk membuat rakaman ke atas tahanan EO di Skudai yang bernama Ong Yong Hoe. Dalam nada yang tegasTan Sri juga telah mengarahkan “Dato’ Khalid” untuk menyiasat mengapa pegawai JSJK boleh membuat rakaman percakapan tahanan EO tanpa pengetahuan pihak JSJ. Selepas berbual, Tan Sri beritahu saya bahawa tindakan telah dibuat dimana kes fail OT Ong telah pun dihantar kepada KKDN untuk tindakan.

(f) Saya maklumkan bahawa selepas kembali di pejabat, oleh kerana arahan ini disampaikan terus daripada YDH Dato’ PJSJK, saya telah menghantar laporan ini terus kepada YDH Dato PJSJK disamping memberi taklimat ringkas. Tan Sri kemudian mahu saya laporkan perkara ini kepada Bahagian Tatatertib kerana merasa sesuatu tidak kena kerana saya dari JSJK telah diarah membaut rakaman seorang OT yang sedang di siasat JSJ tanpa terlebih dahulu mendapat kebenaran JSJ ataupun tanpa pengetahuan pihak JSJ. Saya dapati Tan Sri terus menghubungi seorang pegawai Tatatertib dan meminta nombor telefon saya untuk diberikan kepada pegawai tersebut. Kemudian, Tan Sri memberitahu saya bahawa pegawai Tatatertib bernama Supt Nava akan hubungi saya dan meminta saya berjumpa dengan beliau esok unuk laporkan bagaimana saya boleh mendapat arahan PJSJK untuk menyiasat seorang OT dari JSJ tanpa mendapat kebenaran JSJ terlebih dahulu. Saya terpaksa mematuhi arahan Tan Sri dengan memberikan nombor telefon saya. Selepas lebih kurang lima minit, Supt Nava telah hubungi saya dan mahu saya berjumpa beliau esok pada jam 0900. Saya menjawab “ya”.

10. Pada 22/05/2007 jam 2030, selepas perjumpaan ini, saya merasa sesuatu tidak kena kerana hajat perjumpaan saya adalah seperti yang telah saya jelas seperti di atas. Saya kemudian terus menghantar SMS kepada ACP Hamzah Md Som maklumkan bahawa Bahagian Tatatertib ingin temuduga saya bersabit kes soal siasat di Skudai tempoh hari. Saya kemudian mendapat SMS kembali daripada ACP Hamzah untuk berjumpa dengan YDH Dato’ PJSJK pada keesokkan hari.

11. Pada 23/05/2007 jam 0915, saya menerima panggilan daripada Supt. Navamaney untuk berjumpa di pejabatnya di Tingkat 13, Bukit Aman. Tetapi saya beritahu bahawa saya terpaksa mendapat kebenaran daripada Pengarah JSJK terlebih dahulu sebelum boleh berjumpa beliau. In sepatutnya di fahami oleh Supt. Nava kerana saya adalah seorang pegawai JSJK dan tidak boleh melanggar arahan pegawai atasan saya di JSJK.

12. Pada 23/05/2007 jam 0950, saya telah berjumpa dengan YDH Dato’ Pengarah JSJK dan memberitahu tentang perjumpaan saya dengan YDH Tan Sri pada petang 22/05/2007 dan arahan untuk saya berjumpa dengan Supt. Navamaney, Bahagian Tatatertib. YDH Dato’ Pengarah memberi arahan supaya saya tidak berjumpa dengan Supt. Nava sehingga Dato’ Pengarah JSJK memberi kebenaran.

13. Pada 23/05/2007 jam 1030, saya menerima panggilan telefon dari Supt Navamany samada boleh berjumpa beliau sekarang. Saya maklumkan bahawa saya masih belum menerima arahan/kebenaran daripada YDH Dato’ Pengarah JSJK.

14. Pada 23/05/2007 jam 1530, sekali lagi saya menerima panggilan telefon dari Supt Navamaney, dan saya maklumkan bahawa kebenaran/arahan masih belum diperolehi daripada YDH Dato’ PJSJK. Saya juga beritahu Supt. Navamaney bahawa saya akan hubungi beliau sebaik sahaja mendapat kebenaran daripada YDH Dato’ PJSJK.

15. Pada 28/05/2007 jam 1030, ketika berada di Pulau Pinang, saya telah menerima SMS Supt. Nava bertanyakan bila boleh berjumpa dengan beliau. Saya membuat panggilan kembali memberitahu bahawa saya masih belum mandapat kebenaran/arahan daripada YDH Dato’ Pengarah JSJK, dan pada masa ini saya sedang menjalankan siasatan rasmi di Pulau Pinang.

16. Adalah saya mengatakan bahawa sebagai seorang pegawai polis, saya merasa amat tertekan bahawa tindakan saya mematuhi arahan pegawai atasan saya di JSJK dalam menjalankan risikan terhadap kegiatan ceti haram dan membuat rakaman risikan ke atas OT Ong yang membabitkan nama Tengku dan untuk memperolehi maklumat mengenai ceti haram, terutama yang melibatkan sindiket di Johor dan Melaka, boleh menyebabkan saya dikenakan siasatan oleh Bahagian Tatatertib.

Dan saya membuat pengakuan ini dengan sesungguhnya mempercayai bahawa yang sama adalah benar dan mengikut peruntukan Akta Akuan Berkanun, 1960.

NST Editorial: Feast of lies

This is the mentality of the Old Malay. But the Old Malay is finding out that the New Malay does not think like this at all. The New Malay has different values from the Old Malay. And the Old Malays are getting lesser while there are more New Malays emerging.

Monday, 01 June 2009 | NO HOLDS BARRED | Raja Petra Kamarudin

Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe

This is an old English wedding tradition that goes back to the Roman days. It is supposed to be a sort of good luck for the bride. ‘Old’ represents traditions. ‘New’ represents optimism of a good future ahead of you. ‘Borrowed’ means you can depend on your old friends and family. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolise love, modesty, and fidelity. And a sixpence in her shoe dates back to a Scottish custom of the groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck

Today, let us look at something old (the older Umno generation) and something new (what the young minds think). You will find that the rationale of the Melayu Lama and Melayu Baru are a world apart.

The Old Malays still talk about ‘orang Melayu and the support they give Umno’. The argument for Barisan Nasional (meaning an Umno candidate) to contest in yesterday’s by-election in Penanti is so that the Malays would have a party to vote for. If Umno did not contest the seat then the Malays would not be able to vote.

And many Malays did not vote yesterday. The voter turnout was about 25-30% less than what it should have been. Only 7,000 or so voted. 3,000-3,500 stayed home or went for the free tour to Thailand that Umno sponsored on Polling Day.

Assuming these 3,000-3,500 came out to vote and they had all voted for Umno, then the Pakatan Rakyat candidate would have won with a majority of just 2,000-2,500 as what Malaysia Today had predicted even before the names of the candidates were revealed and when it was not known yet that Umno would boycott the by-election.

If you look at the arguments from people like Kadir Jasin, whom can be classified as Old Malay, you can see that his reasoning as to why Umno should contest is so that the Malays can vote. If Umno does not contest then the Malays would not be able to vote. They equate Malays with Umno, and vice-versa, and not contesting the Penanti by-election would mean you are denying the Malays the chance to vote.

It never occurred to the Old Malays that there is still life after Umno and if Umno does not contest this would not mean the end of the world. Why do the Malays need Umno? Simple, because it is a Malay party and a party that safeguards Malay interests. That and only that is the reason.

But the Malays of today, the Melayu Baru, look beyond Malay interests. This, however, must not be interpreted as treacherous or pendeharka Malays who sell out their fellow Malays -- as what some Umno people would say. It is just that they see life as more than just communal interests. There is more to life than just worrying about Malay interests. We also need to consider what these Malays in power can do for the nation at large.

This may be difficult for the Old Malays to understand. What can be more important than Malay interest? Surely Malay interest is the one and only consideration. Well, maybe so to the Old Malays. But to the New Malays there are also things like transparency and good governance, an end to abuse of power and corruption, an independent judiciary and better laws, freedom of association and expression, and those other things that Umno would label as ‘Western values’.

The Old Malays like Kadir Jasin are not stupid. In fact, if you know him personally, you will know that he is one smart cookie. So why does he still talk like he is a country bumpkin? Does he not realise that there is more to life than just communal interests?

Of course he does. As I said, he is not stupid. But Kadir Jasin, the Old Malay, believes that Malay interests override all other considerations. The ends justify the means. Okay, maybe we have rampant corruption plus all the other ills you can think of in a failed state or banana republic. But these are necessary evils. This is collateral damage. This is what we must endure to ensure that Malay interests are protected.

This is the mentality of the Old Malay. But the Old Malay is finding out that the New Malay does not think like this at all. The New Malay has different values from the Old Malay. And the Old Malays are getting lesser while there are more New Malays emerging.

In time, there will be more New Malays than Old Malays at the ballot box. If we can convince the five million Malaysians eligible to vote, but not registered as voters yet, to come out and get registered, and if we can convince them to actually come out to vote come the next general election, then we will find that the Old Malays will be reduced to a minority in a sea of black T-shirts, metaphorically speaking of course.

Can we embark on a voter-get-voter campaign? For every one of you who is already a registered voter, convince someone you know who is not yet a registered voter to go register as a voter. Then, in time, people like Kadir Jasin will be a thing of the past while people like Anak Muda Melayu will rule the day.

Voting should no longer be seen as a right. It should be regarded as a responsibility. Young people should be told it is their duty to vote. And to able to vote they must first register as a voter.

About half the registered voters came out to vote yesterday in Penanti. That works out to about one-third the eligible voters. That is not good enough. We need more than double that to really see change. Even if half the registered voters vote for the opposition, Barisan Nasional will still form the government. That is the reality of the Gerrymandering system that Malaysia practices. Short of 60% votes for the opposition, Barisan Nasional can never be kicked out. So we need more voters and we need more of these voters to think like the Melayu Baru, not like the Melayu Lama.

Tidak Wajar Boikot Pilihan Raya Kecil
A Kadir Jasin, 20 April 2009

WALAUPUN Perdana Menteri, Mohd Najib Abdul Razak, “tidak ketepikan apa juga kemungkinan,” termasuk memulaukan pilihan raya kecil (PRK) Dewan Undangan Negeri Penanti, Pulau Pinang, saya rasa adalah amat merugikan jika Barisan Nasional mengaku kalah sebelum bertarung.

Sekiranya BN memulaukan PRK itu atas apa jua alasan, ia adalah tindakan yang tidak demokratik, cetek fikiran dan merugikan pengundi.

Sebagai sebuah pertubuhan yang mendakwa sedang melakukan penambahbaikan dan restorasi, Umno wajib meyakinkan parti-parti komponen BN yang lain bahawa BN wajib bertanding di DUN Penanti.

Sikap menyerah kalah atau defeatist akan menyebabkan lebih ramai pengundi hilang keyakinan BN dan parti-parti komponennya. Umno dan BN perlu mempamerkan tahap keyakinan dan semangat juang yang tinggi.

BN mungkin tidak berjaya merampas semula kerusi itu daripada Parti Keadilan Rakyat tetapi ia masih mempunyai penyokong yang ramai yang pasti kecewa jika ia tidak bertanding.

Pada pilihan raya umum 2008, Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin (PKR) mendapat 7,346 undi manakala Abdul Jalil Abdul Majid (BN) memperoleh 5,127 undi memberikan kelebihan 2,219 undi kepada Mohammad Fairus.

Lagipun, kalau betul analisis yang mengatakan semakin ramai pengundi Melayu di Bukit Gantang dan Bukit Selambau kembali menyokong BN pada PRK baru-baru ini, adalah sangat tidak bijak bagi BN memulaukan PRK Penanti.

Orang Melayu yang ingin kembali menyokong Umno dan BN kerana bertambah yakin dengan kepemimpinan Umno dan negara sekarang akan kecewa dan hilang semangat.

CHE DET TAK FAHAM ORANG MUDA
Anak Muda Melayu

Dalam blog CheDet (http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/2009/04/the-generation-gap.html#more), Tun Mahathir kata generasi muda tidak memahami erti kemerdekaan, diperintah oleh Orang Kita dan bukan Orang Asing. Beliau menyalahkan pendidikan sejarah di sekolah yang gagal memberikan kesedaran kepada generasi muda.

Oleh kerana aku lahir pasca 1957, aku ni generasi muda walaupun umur dah hampir separuh abad. Memangnya aku tidak pernah berada di bawah pemerintahan Inggeris, dan tidak berada di zaman perang. Tetapi aku masih ingat kacaubilau tahun 69. Aku ingat zaman Tun Razak yang menyemarakkan perpaduan. Masa tu juga banyak bentuk kemakmuran melalui bantuan pertanian, dan biasiswa pun dah mula diberikan kepada rakyat. Zaman tu juga banyak sekolah-sekolah asrama penuh yang melahirkan ramai cerdik pandai terutamanya di kalangan orang melayu. Kemudahan-kemudahan prasarana pun ditingkatkan. Jadi, sejarah yang aku lalui tidak perlu pergi jauh sebaliknya zaman pembangunan dan pemulihan ekonomi.

Bermula era Mahathir, pada mulanya terasa gah kerana Dasar Pandang Ke Timur, Bersih Cekap dan Amanah dan kemudiannya timbullah penswastaan. Pembangunan pun memang hebat tetapi masa tu dah banyak berlaku percakaran politik. Di pihak UMNO, Mahathir dengan Ku Li kemudian Mahathir dan Musa Hitam. Kemudian berlaku pula pembunuhan Memali dan seterusnya Pemilihan UMNO 1987 yang menyebabkan perpecahan dalam UMNO, maka timbul pula Semangat 46.

Apabila Tun Salleh Abbas di pecat, sekali lagi berlaku tragedi dalam pentadbiran negara kerana Cabang Kehahiman telah di kembirikan. Masa itu, aku yang masih di awal dua puluhan dah mula rasa seperti dijajah, bukan oleh orang asing tetapi oleh UMNO. Sungguh pun ada keistimewaan, kerana boleh bekerja dan ekonomi yang baik tetapi merasa diri ini dijajah. Minda dibodohkan dengan media, dan orang-orang UMNO berlagak macam Malaysia ni dia orang punya. Rakyat biasa hanya menerima apa yang ada, digula-gulakan dengan kehidupan biasa, dan kononnya negara ini aman.

Bagi orang yang pernah berada di England, Amerika, Australia tentulah tidak boleh dibodohkan dengan propaganda UMNO, kerana telah melihat erti kebebasan bersuara di negara-negara itu. Tetapi bila balik di Malaysia media dikudakan. Segala media kerajaan di Malaysia boleh bercakap tentang keamanan, kestabilan ekonomi, dan pembangunan tetapi Minda diikat. Untuk bercakap songsang daripada pemimpin BN bererti menentang. Tambahan pula bila kita lihat mahkamah-mahkamah dan Polis digunakan untuk menjaga kepentingan UMNO dan Barisan Nasional. Generasi muda kecewa, fasal kebebasan yang diinginkan seperti yang dilalui di negara maju tidak boleh dicapai. Dengan adanya ISA, AUKU, Akta Rahsia Rasmi, dan pelbagai lagi Akta yang menggerunkan terasa bahawa Malaysia ni macam negara ketiga di Afrika. Baru-baru ini Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya pula bercakap seperti pihak UMNO dan BN. Sebagai rakyat, perasaan benci meluap dan lama-kelamaan akan diterjemahkan sebagai undi untuk memilih pembangkang.

Selain daripada undang-undang itu, banyak bentuk penyalahgunaan kuasa dan pembaziran wang negara berlaku. Aku tak boleh tahu apa yang betul atau salah. Tetapi bila di sebut skandal BMF, bail out untuk MISC, PERWAJA, MAS, dan banyak lagi mula timbul tandatanya -- apa sebenar yang berlaku. Jawapan samar-samar dan mengelirukan. Bila timbul pula kes pembunuhan Mustakizah, apa sebenarnya berlaku? Bila banyak sangat timbul tentang Altantuya, kami ingin cari kebenaran. Semua ini menjurus kepada kekeliruan dan keraguan. Kredibiliti pemimpin masa itu dipersoalkan.

Seterusnya kuasa raja-raja pun dikurangkan. Masa tu, sebagai rakyat memanglah seronok sebab kita rasakan kuasa dikembalikan kepada rakyat tetapi lama kelamaan baru menyedari bahawa kuasa itu sebenarnya adalah untuk PM dan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO.

Apa yang berlaku? Sungguh pun bukan semua dalam Internet betul, tetapi penulisan daripada Raja Petra (sebagai contoh) boleh diterima. Banyak bukti dan kenyataan beliau ada asas. Kami generasi pasca 1957 yang bukannya ahli totok UMNO akan terus mencari kebenaran dan biasanya boleh diperolehi daripada Internet. Kami tahu apa yang karut, dan apa yang betul. Dalam Internet tak ada penapisan jadi sebagai manusia yang diberikan fikiran kami buat penilaian dan tahu mana baik dan buruknya.

Kemuncak rasa tidak puas hati apabila Anwar Ibrahim diperlakukan dengan cara zalim. Sungguh pun aku tak pernah kenal Anwar dengan rapat dan dia pun tak peduli sapa aku, tetapi sebagai manusia berhati perut aku rasa perlakuan Mahathir kepada bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri melampaui batasan kemanusiaan. Masa itu bukan soal kredibiliti tetapi kebencian yang amat sangat kepada Tun Mahathir. Dia mungkin hebat satu masa dulu, tetapi segalanya musnah kerana melampau dalam tindakannya.

Apabila Che Det bercakap tentang sejarah dan bebas daripada penjajahan, aku tidak terima hujah tu. Generasi aku inginkan kebebasan sebagai rakyat, untuk bersuara dan memilih pemimpin kami. Selagi pemimpin itu memahami aspirasi rakyat, bertindak adil dan segala institusi kerajaan tidak dipergunakan, kami boleh terima mereka. Pada kami, Malaysia telah bebas daripada penjajahan dan kami mahu terus bebas. daripada pemimpin yang korup.

What AI says about RPK.

Freedom of expression: Authorities suspended or threatened to cancel publishing permits under the PPPA, and arrested bloggers under the Sedition Act.

• In May, blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin was charged under the Sedition Act for an article in which he allegedly implied the involvement of the Deputy Prime Minister in the murder of a Mongolian woman. In September, he was arbitrarily arrested and detained under the ISA. Six days before his arrest, the Home Minister was quoted as saying that he could be arrested under the ISA for insulting Muslims and degrading Islam in articles that appeared on his website. The Home Minister issued a two-year detention order, which is renewable indefinitely. In November, after much public discussion, the High Court ruled that he be released.[more]

Shafee Abdullah: caught with his pants down

On 6 August 2008, I wrote an article called ‘Shafee Abdullah: sodomologist extraordinaire’. Shafee has since sued me for this article and in his summons-in-chamber he says that my allegation does not contain any particulars. Well, today, I will certainly give him those particulars that he seeks.

Friday, 29 May 2009 | THE CORRIDORS OF POWER | Raja Petra Kamarudin

It was a few days before that article that I received the phone call from Tamrin Ghafar. Tamrin said someone wants to meet me and it was very urgent and extremely important that I meet this person. It was agreed that we meet for tea at the Havana Club in the One World Hotel in Damansara Utama.

My wife and I arrived there early but did not have to wait too long. Within minutes Tamrin walked in with Datuk Kamal Amir and Datuk Kadar Shah. It was actually Datuk Kadar who wanted to see me although Tamrin did not mention that earlier when he phoned me -- and I knew better than to ask over the phone considering the police were monitoring my phone calls.

Datuk Kadar related how he had gone to lawyer Shafee Abdullah’s office a few days earlier to discuss Jamaluddin Jarjis’s bottom pinching case in the Havana Club at KL Sentral. I think Datuk Kadar was involved because he had an interest in the establishment. Anyway, I was told Shafee wanted JJ to pay RM1 million as ‘settlement’ or else his scandal was going to explode.

And this was when Datuk Kadar saw that whiteboard with Anwar Ibrahim’s and my name on it and the police officers who were in the office discussing the Anwar Ibrahim Sodomy II case. And a few days later the whole sodomy thing exploded with Saiful’s ‘revelation’ that he had been sodomised, the PUSRAWI doctor’s examination that showed Saiful was still a virgin, and Najib’s denial and later his admission that he had met Saiful prior to the sodomy allegation.

The rest I had already written about in August 2008, which you can read below in case you have not read it yet. I have since been sued and the case is still pending. And Datuk Kadar said he will come forward to testify if need be that he did see what he told me he saw in Shafee’s office that day, and which I wrote about on 6 August 2008. Shafee, of course, denies this and that is why he sued me.

*************************************************

Very troubling reports have been published, which reveal the existence of a medical report of an examination done by a doctor on Mohd Saiful Bukhari bin Azlan a few hours before Saiful lodged a police report that he had been sodomised. The medical report apparently shows that there is no evidence that he had been sodomised by anyone.

Such reports raise some very serious questions that require immediate answers:

(1) Are the police in possession of such a medical report?

(2) Was the doctor concerned interviewed by the police and was he detained for any length of time?

(3) Is the doctor concerned facing any form of intimidation and, if so, by whom?

(4) Is there a medical report by another doctor that either confirms or contradicts the first medical report?

(5) If it is true that the medical report exists showing a lack of prima facie evidence, what then could have been the justification for the vigorous actions taken against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as well as the public call by the authorities for his DNA sample?

The answers to these questions are of paramount importance, as they bring into focus the integrity of our law enforcement system.

These latest disclosures regarding the investigations into the sodomy allegations are not the only ones to raise questions that need answering. There is, for example, also the issue of P. Balasubramaniam's abrupt "disappearance" that has yet to be satisfactorily explained. No one can deny that the circumstances of his first and second statutory declarations are highly unusual. All these show a pattern of events that cause much disquiet to right-thinking members of the public.

The Malaysian people are deeply troubled. A country that truly believes in the rule of law should not be faced with so many disturbing developments and unanswered questions.

The credibility of the Malaysian justice system as a whole is therefore at stake. The integrity of professionals, be they doctors or lawyers, must never be interfered with. The public must be left in no doubt that the criminal justice system in this country will not be misused or abused. There must be nothing less than an open and thorough investigation into these cases. This calls for the courage and professionalism of all those involved to do the right thing no matter the consequences. And those who have shown such courage and integrity must know that they live in a country where it is safe to do so.

*************************************************

What Ambiga said in her press statement above is certainly true and she has cause for concern. But she would be even more concerned if she knows what we know about this whole matter.

A special police operations centre was set up some time ago to coordinate all activities related to the Anwar Ibrahim sodomy crisis. No, the special police operations centre was not set up AFTER the alleged sodomy act took place on 26 June 2008. It was set up way before 26 June 2008.

Why the need to set up a special police operations centre BEFORE the date of the alleged sodomy act? Are they clairvoyant and did they peep into their crystal ball and ‘see’ the crime happen before it actually happened? Was the special police operations centre set up so that they could solve the crime? Or was the special police operations centre set up BEFORE the date of the ‘crime’ so that they could invent the so-called crime?

Yes, questions and yet more questions. But this is not yet the icing on the cake. The icing on the cake is that this special police operations centre is not located in the police headquarters. It is located in the meeting room of the office of prominent Umno lawyer Shafee Abdullah who possesses a notorious reputation for fixing cases such as those involving the people implicated in murdering Altantuya Shaariibuu or those alleged to have pinched the bottoms of cigar girls in the Havana Club in Kuala Lumpur.

Name me any questionable case and you will find the hand of Shafee Abdullah behind that case. And this same person is coordinating the Anwar Ibrahim sodomy allegation from the meeting room of his law office in Kenny Hills.

There are four police officers headed by an officer name Aziz who are based in this special police operations centre in the meeting room of Shafee Abdullah’s law firm. But why are they based in an Umno lawyer’s office instead of in the police headquarters? Is this an official police operation or is this a rogue operation? Yes, we have watched many Hollywood movies about the CIA’s Dirty Tricks Department. Have Shafee Abdullah and the Royal Malaysian Police also seen the same movie? It appears so because the special police operations centre in Umno lawyer Shafee Abdullah’s law firm looks like a plot out of these movies.

In this special police operations centre in Umno lawyer Shafee Abdullah’s law firm is a whiteboard and on this whiteboard are two names: Anwar Ibrahim and Raja Petra Kamarudin. Below these two names are all sorts of notes, scribblings and etchings. There are also charts and strategies on how both Anwar Ibrahim and Raja Petra Kamarudin can be implicated in various crimes and incarcerated until their teeth fall out of their gums.

Yes, the police report to Umno lawyer Shafee Abdullah. And Shafee Abdullah coordinates this special police operation with the IGP and AG. And the purpose of this special police operations centre in the meeting room of Umno lawyer Shafee Abdullah’s law firm is to explore how to incarcerate Anwar Ibrahim and Raja Petra Kamarudin. And the special police operations centre has to be in Umno lawyer Shafee Abdullah’s office and not in the police headquarters because, officially, the IGP and AG are not involved in the Anwar sodomy case, as announced by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Shafee Abdullah is no ordinary man. In fact, he is not even a man; he is a devil. But he is Malaysia’s first and foremost sodomologist, a specialist in crimes of sodomy. And that is why the Pusrawi doctor’s report was rejected. He is just a normal doctor, a GP, argued the government. The prognosis of a normal doctor can’t be accepted as evidence in a sodomy case, never mind if he has been practicing medicine for two decades or more. They need the prognosis of a sodomy specialist, a sodomologist, and Shafee Abdullah is Malaysia’s first and foremost sodomologist.

That is why Senior Assistant Commissioner (SAC) II Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof did not meet Saiful in the police station or at the police headquarters. The special police operations centre is not in the police station or at the police headquarters. It is in the meeting room of Umno lawyer Shafee Abdullah’s law firm. So it would be dangerous to meet Saiful in this law firm lest someone finds out. That is why Rodwan met Saiful in room 619 of the Concorde Hotel.

Okay, so Rodwan met Saiful one day before the alleged crime took place. But then maybe Rodwan is clairvoyant or he has a crystal ball and he ‘saw’ that a crime of sodomy was going to take place the following day. Some people do have this gift of ‘foresight’. Nevertheless, whether the timeline appears a bit out of sync or not, they still have the ‘evidence’ to work on to ‘prove’ that Anwar did sodomise Saiful the day AFTER Saiful met Rodwan in room 619 of the Concorde Hotel.

One such crucial evidence was supposed to be the doctor from Pusrawi’s medical examination of Saiful at 2.00pm on Saturday, 28 June 2008. But then the doctor said that he had examined Saiful and found no evidence of sodomy. This report has since surfaced and the doctor has gone missing so, now, there is no way they can use this evidence.

The next evidence was supposed to be the second medical examination done at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) at 4.00pm on Saturday, 28 June 2008. But then the outpatient department of the HKL was closed at 4.00pm on Saturday, 28 June 2008. So how could a second medical examination have been done? Yes, that’s right. No second medical examination was done and the doctors at the HKL refuse to doctor a medical report to say that the second medical examination had been done, when none had been done, or to say that they did find evidence of sodomy, when they did not.

Since none of the doctors at Pusrawi or HKL are cooperating with the police, the last piece of ‘evidence’ will have to be Saiful’s underwear. Okay, Saiful’s underwear does not really have Anwar’s semen stains on it. But this is a small matter. As long as someone from the Chemistry Department is prepared to testify that they did examine Saiful’s underwear and they did find Anwar’s semen stains on it, then that would be good enough. They will be able to build their case against Anwar and charge him for sodomy based on this ‘evidence’ from the Chemistry Department.

No, the Chemistry Department has NOT come out with their report yet. There is no report from the Chemistry Department that says they found Anwar’s semen stains on Saiful’s underwear. This is because they first of all need Anwar’s specimen so that they can plant it on the underwear and so that the Chemistry Department can then ‘discover’ it.

But Anwar is being bloody silly. He is being extremely pigheaded and stubborn. He refuses to hand over his specimen. How can they plant Anwar’s semen on Saiful’s underwear when Anwar refuses to let them take his specimen? The Chemistry Department can’t prepare its report saying that it found Anwar’s semen on Saiful’s underwear until the police are able to plant it there. But Anwar does not want to voluntarily hand over his specimen so this plan is being upset a bit.

But never mind. As soon as Parliament convenes later this month they will rush through a new law that will make it mandatory for you to hand over your specimen if the police demands that you do so. Refusing to hand over your specimen when the police demand that you do so will soon become a crime and you can be sent to jail. They will try to pass this law before Merdeka Day of 31 August 2008 and they will try to backdate the law and make it retrospective so that any ‘crime’ committed before the passing of this law will also be covered.

Soon they will get Anwar once the DNA Act becomes law and Anwar can no longer refuse to hand over his specimen. Then, once they have obtained Anwar’s specimen, the Chemistry Department will be able to ‘discover’ it on Saiful’s underwear. Then they will be able to arrest and charge Anwar. And, who knows, they might even be able to convict him as well.

Yes, this Shafee Abdullah the sodomologist is good. He has names, charts, notes, scribbling and etchings all over his whiteboard in the meeting room of his law firm. This meeting room has been the special police operations centre for quite a while now. It was set up long before the alleged sodomy crime took place on 26 June 2008. It was set up not to solve the sodomy crime. It was set up to create the crime.

But, thus far, they lack one very crucial piece of evidence. They lack Anwar’s specimen that they need to plant on Saiful’s underwear. But they will get it as soon as the new DNA Act becomes law and they can use this law to force Anwar to hand over his specimen. Then Anwar is finished and they can close down the special police operations centre in the meeting room of Umno lawyer Shafee Abdullah’s law firm and once again use this meeting room for fixing legal cases.

Anwar verdict puts Malaysia's justice system on trial
Report by Tim Lester
ABC Online; 14 April 1999

MAXINE MCKEW: Well, to our own region now and the most publicised trial in Malaysia's history ended today, with Anwar Ibrahim — the man once groomed to lead the nation — jailed for six years, after a judge found him guilty on four counts of corruption.

Asian leaders have joined human rights groups in denouncing the severity of the sentence. In Malaysia, there have been clashes between police and protesters in the wake of the judgment, suggesting widespread scepticism with the verdict. So, did the system succeed in catching a wayward politician, or did it dance to the tune of an opportunistic leader who wants a political enemy behind bars?

TIM LESTER: Conviction day for Anwar Ibrahim.

As his supporters took to the streets around Kuala Lumpur's High Court, few doubted the outcome of the marathon corruption trial. For seven months now, they've watched Anwar battle to keep alive his shot at the country's top job.

They've heard him say repeatedly the system was being used against him. Many Malaysians, perhaps most, believe it. They believe Anwar Ibrahim's conviction was orchestrated to suit the PM and several of his close colleagues.

BRUCE GALE: There is a feeling among a large number of Malaysians that the trial wasn't fair.

TIM LESTER: Singapore analyst Bruce Gale sees this perception — whether right or wrong — as a problem for the Mahathir Government.

BRUCE GALE: If you have large sections of the population believing that somehow the judiciary is not fair or impartial, then this is a very serious situation. It's an undermining of a major national institution.

GURBACHAN SINGH: We could have easily shown by irrefutable evidence the involvement of several top politicians to bring Anwar Ibrahim down politically.

TIM LESTER: Among Anwar's nine defence lawyers, there is deep frustration that many witnesses, documents, even tapes they had ready didn't make it to evidence, because the judge wouldn't allow them.

GURBACHAN SINGH: There was evidence of the involvement of the PM, as well, that he knew this process of political conspiracy was going on — he did nothing to stop it.

MAHATHIR MOHAMAD: I wish he hadn't done this and he should have succeeded me and everything would be fine.

TIM LESTER: Political conspiracy — it was Anwar's claim the moment Dr Mahathir dumped him as Deputy PM and his lawyers say it was vital to their defence of the four corruption charges. But Judge Augustine Paul ruled as irrelevant the suggestion that government ministers and officials cooked up the sex claims to ruin Anwar.

GURBACHAN SINGH: Most of the rulings where the judge could exercise discretion, went against us.

MUHAMMAD SHAFEE ABDULLAH: When the trial first started, I think at least for the first two months or three, there were often times, I thought, where the judge was giving a lot of leeway to the defence.

TIM LESTER: Former prosecutor Shafee Abdullah praises Judge Paul for refusing to hear Anwar's conspiracy argument in relation to the four corruption charges.

MUHAMMAD SHAFEE ABDULLAH: Whether or not he committed those sexual offences have got nothing to do with the present charges.

TIM LESTER: So was Anwar's trial fair?

Yes, says Shafee Abdullah. But even he admits Malaysians don't see it that way.

MUHAMMAD SHAFEE ABDULLAH: There are a lot of individuals out there who feel that the whole trial has gone completely bonkers. Many individuals think that Anwar did not receive a fair trial.

TIM LESTER: The damage from the trial goes beyond perceptions about Government influence over the judiciary to the police force.

MUHAMED AZMIN ALI: They hit me physically and they stripped me naked and asked me to dance in the room, with my hand handcuffed.

TIM LESTER: Anwar Ibrahim's private secretary of 11 years was among hundreds arrested at the height of anti-government protests last year. He's now making a disturbingly common claim in Kuala Lumpur — that police used brutality and humiliation in the hope of recruiting him as a witness against Anwar.

MUHAMED AZMIN ALI: Oh, yeah, they asked me to admit that I was sodomised by Anwar.

TIM LESTER: Three of five people cited in sex charges pending against Anwar have now withdrawn their claims and turned on police.

GURBACHAN SINGH: And they were picked up and forced — tortured by the police — to make allegations against Anwar, to admit to sodomy, which they repeatedly said never happened. And they've gone on affidavits, they've gone on statutory declarations to that effect.

TIM LESTER: Add in Anwar's black eye — Malaysia's highest-ranking officer at the time hit him while he was blindfolded and handcuffed. In the process of convicting Anwar, Malaysia's police have earned themselves an image crisis.

Among other claims that didn't make it to court — the Washington limousine driver who says a Malaysian embassy official asked him to accuse Anwar of sexual misconduct while visiting the US.

JAMAL AMRO: Then he asked me — he said "Relax". Then he told me, "Anwar — did you ever bring girls for him, or boys or anything like that?"

I said, "No".

He said "C'mon, if you say 'Yes', we can make some money".

TIM LESTER: Jamal says he was told he could make more than $250,000 by going along with the sex claims against the then Deputy PM. Public anger over Anwar's treatment has helped his wife, Wan Azizah, win backing for a new political party and an opposition alliance to fight Dr Mahathir at the next election.

MUHAMED AZMIN ALI: The hatred against the present leadership is swelling because they can not believe the manner they handled this issue against Anwar.

TIM LESTER: This trial and the events around it have thrown up challenges the Mahathir Government didn't anticipate. Now, there's the possibility of a united opposition at the next national election due within 12 months.

A powerful threat for Dr Mahathir, but it's still not likely. The groups Anwar's supporters need to bring together would make unusual partners.

BRUCE GALE: It seems extremely difficult for me to believe that post-election, that this alliance could hold. The policies of these parties are so diametrically opposed to one another. Islamic fundamentalists want an Islamic State. To the Chinese, this is an anathema — something they would never accept.

TIM LESTER: Many Malaysians don't like the way their government and judicial system dealt with Anwar Ibrahim. Today's verdict will only fuel their suspicions.

But Dr Mahathir is still in the middle ground of Malaysian politics. His enemies have a giant task — trying to bring together opposition parties into an alliance needed to capitalise on anti-government sentiment.

A prelude to Anwar Ibrahim’s ‘Sodomy II’ trial

Now, the day after Saiful met Najib, he met Rodwan in room 619 of the Kuala Lumpur Concorde. Najib did not know this of course. Prior to that meeting, Rodwan and Saiful spoke over the phone at least eight times.

Thursday, 28 May 2009 | THE CORRIDORS OF POWER | Raja Petra Kamarudin

On 11 August 2008, in an article called ‘The real dalang behind the Anwar sodomy allegation’, Malaysia Today wrote: Shafee was supposed to have led the prosecution against Anwar. A provision in the law called FIAT allows the Attorney-General to appoint an outsider to conduct the prosecution. If Shafee does well then he would most likely be appointed the next Attorney-General.

Since the publishing of article almost a year ago, Shafee has sued me and in his summons in chambers he applied to strike off my defence on grounds that my allegation did not have any particulars. Well, if it’s particulars he wants then it is particulars he shall get.

In the meantime, read what Malaysia Today wrote on 11 August 2008:
*************************************************

Sodomy II: Who stands to gain the most?

In the court of the rakyat, Anwar Ibrahim is not guilty of Sodomy II, and neither was he guilty of Sodomy I. He was initially found guilty of Sodomy I (that ‘judgment’ later reversed) in the most convoluted and illogical judicial process facilitated and engineered by top policemen, prosecutors and judges who were anything but the respected and responsible public servants for law and order and justice in a democratic country.

Today, we are on the verge of witnessing a repeat of that most shameful process in Malaysia's history. The question is why would anyone want to do this? Surely, Saiful (aged 13 during Sodomy I) knows the gravity, implications and consequences of his allegations against Anwar.

Assuming that Saiful has actually been sodomised, what does he gain by lodging a report? He says that he been sodomised eight times by Anwar, in which case he should have lodged a police report immediately after the first incident if he were the innocent law-abiding citizen that he (or rather various powerful interested parties are trying to portray on his behalf) is trying to portray.

On the basis of his own report and confession, Saiful now faces the possibility of being jailed for willingly engaging in sodomy (as Anwar's adopted brother was found guilty of and jailed for six months in Sodomy I) if his allegations against Anwar are ‘proven’. Furthermore, Saiful will now be the target of ridicule and harassment about his manhood and sexual preference. No young man will be able to live normally with such shame and accompanying torment and ridicule.

In fact, it is a well-known fact that genuine rape victims in general do not report the crime, and male victims in particular are more inclined not to report sodomy because of the greater shame and implications regarding their manhood. Furthermore, Saiful's allegations against Anwar are so flimsy that unless the Sodomy I process is repeated, Anwar will not be found guilty.

Given these facts, Saiful could be getting a huge reward for alleging that Anwar had sodomised him, a reward which adequately compensates for the stigma and guilt associated with being a partner willing or unwilling in several acts of sodomy The question is who is offering such a handsome reward? Who is so rich and powerful to be able to make an offer which Saiful cannot refuse? Or, more correctly, who stands to gain most from Sodomy II?

The popular arguments on the Net and in the coffee-shops point to Najib. Najib met Saiful on the day after the alleged sodomy. Saiful has access to Najib's aide. The allegation against Anwar has diverted the attention of the public from the revelations made by Private Investigator P Balasubramaniam about Najib in his first statutory declaration. Saiful's allegation has also put Anwar on the defensive and thwarted his plans to challenge the BN government for power by September.

All these suggest that Najib has much to gain from Sodomy II. The reality is that Najib is also a victim of Sodomy II. In the eyes of the public, Najib is not only involved in the Altanuya case but is also masterminding a conspiracy against Anwar. These perceptions will have serious consequences and will most surely weaken Najib's case to be the next PM. The way that Najib has responded to the sodomy allegation against Anwar suggests an individual who is blundering - not a mastermind who has crafted the whole thing, from positioning Saiful in PKR to getting him to accuse Anwar of sodomy. In conclusion, Najib does not stand to gain from Sodomy II.

As for Abdullah Ahamd Badawi, the people punished him on March 8 for his poor performance as PM. His popularity is at an all time low - the high petrol/diesel prices, high food prices, inflation, crime, etc. Sodomy II has added a major political crisis which Abdullah is ill-equipped to handle, even if he is inclined to do so at this time. Either way he will be a loser.

If Anwar is found ‘guilty’ of Sodomy II, the people will hold Abdullah responsible for victimising Anwar, and Abdullah may have to exit well before the declared 2010 deadline. If Anwar were found innocent, that would strengthen Anwar, enabling him to challenge BN and hasten Abdullah's exit. If Sodomy II drags on, there will be serious public unrest and this would also pose a major challenge for Abdullah. Thus, Abdullah is also a victim of Sodomy II.

It looks like that Anwar, Najib and Abdullah are all victims of Sodomy II in one way or another. So who is behind Sodomy II? Who will benefit from Sodomy II? Someone who will lose most if Anwar comes into power. Someone who will go to any extent to prevent Anwar's rise. Someone who no longer accepts Najib as a potential PM. Someone who wants instability in Malaysia. Someone who wants to topple Abdullah.

Someone who cannot accept the rise of the opposition. Someone who does not agree with the new direction that Malaysia is taking in matters such as the judiciary and law and order. Someone whose buddies (cronies) are badly affected by government actions such as termination of mega-projects. Someone who wants to prevent probe and investigation into government misdeeds and mal-practices of the past. Someone who wants to continue the legacy of the past.

Someone who is fully schooled in sodomy matters from Sodomy I. Someone who has strong allies in the government, especially the home ministry, police and AG chambers. Someone who is unscrupulous. Someone who will go any extent to get what he wants. Someone who is extremely rich and powerful. Someone who has finally readied an heir. So, who is behind Sodomy II? A Machiavellian par excellence.

Who is it?

Ken, Malaysiakini
*************************************************

That was what Ken wrote in Malaysiakini on 22 July 2008. I do not, however, agree with his prognosis. Without a doubt he is exonerating Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from the crime of trying to frame Anwar Ibrahim and has painted them, plus Anwar, as the three victims in this attempted frame-up. And in that same breath Ken is insinuating that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is the real dalang behind the whole thing.

I do not quite agree with this assumption. Yes, Mahathir has no love for Anwar, and vice versa, but the Grand Old Man of Malaysian politics is not behind this latest move to frame Anwar on sodomy charges. And I say this because the behind-the-scenes goings-on prior to the sodomy issue exploding onto the Malaysian scene seem to point to Abdullah’s office, or at least to those within his inner circle.

Firstly, Saiful met Najib before the so-called sodomy took place. No doubt, at first, Najib denied meeting him and then later admitted meeting him but explained that it was for purposes of career guidance and to help the young man obtain a scholarship. Later on, Najib confessed he met Saiful to discuss the sodomy allegation against Anwar. This flip-flopping and inconsistency -- denial and then confessing only when it appeared like he could no longer deny it -- makes Najib appear like he is lying and therefore is trying to cover up an evil deed.

Najib’s responses certainly make him look like a liar and therefore he must have something to hide if he is lying. A lying man is certainly the mark of a guilty man, which makes it look like he is behind the conspiracy, or at least involved in the conspiracy to frame Anwar. But this is what they are trying to make us believe. Why this effort to make it appear like Najib is the culprit if not to deflect all attention from whoever is the real culprit?

Now, the day after Saiful met Najib, he met Rodwan in room 619 of the Kuala Lumpur Concorde. Najib did not know this of course. Prior to that meeting, Rodwan and Saiful spoke over the phone at least eight times. We can only assume that part of this conversation involved asking Saiful to go meet Najib and to make sure that everyone knows about it so that the conspiracy points to Najib. The fact that Saiful brought a friend along only reinforces this assumption, especialy when this friend is aligned to Anwar Ibrahim.

The man who is the real mastermind behind this latest conspiracy to frame Anwar is Shafee Abdullah. Just days before the sodomy allegation exploded, and even before Saiful’s meeting with Rodwan on 25 June 2008, Shafee was in Najib’s house to attend a gathering. And in front of scores of witnesses he asked to be excused early because he ‘had a very big fish to catch’. Shafee conveniently made it known that he is behind the move to catch the ‘big fish’ and he wanted all those in Najib’s house to be aware that Najib was in the know. Actually, Najib did not know what he was talking about and assumed that the ‘big fish’ meant Raja Petra Kamarudin and was with regards to the Statutory Declaration that he had signed just days earlier on 18 June 2008.

Shafee was supposed to have led the prosecution against Anwar. A provision in the law called FIAT allows the Attorney-General to appoint an outsider to conduct the prosecution. If Shafee does well then he would most likely be appointed the next Attorney-General. When word got out that he is heading the special police operations centre, which was located in his office, they had to abandon the whole idea.

Shafee’s hands are behind the whole thing. And this can only happen with Abdullah’s blessing. No, it is not Mahathir who is behind this. And it is not Abdullah, Najib and Anwar who are the three victims. The victims are Mahathir, Najib and Anwar. Abdullah is the hidden hand and Shafee is the henchman who was tasked with the job of implementing the evil deed. Politics is not what it always appears to be in Malaysia. That is how Malay politics is played out.

Rodwan met Saiful three days earlier

Who is Rodwan, other than the fact that he works for the IGP and is known as the police chief’s bagman and go-between with the organised crime syndicate that controls all the drugs, prostitution, loan-sharking and gambling rackets?


Wednesday, 27 May 2009 | THE CORRIDORS OF POWER | Raja Petra Kamarudin

At 2.30pm on Wednesday, 25 June 2008, Senior Assistant Commissioner (SAC) II Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof met Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan in room 619 of the Concorde Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Prior to this secret meeting, Rodwan and Saiful spoke on the phone at least eight (8) times.

Three days later, at 2.00pm on 28 June 2008, Saiful went to see Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid of the Hospital Pusrawi to ‘complain’ that he had been sodomised by ‘a very important person’ and that he wished to lodge a police report. The doctor, however, found no traces or evidence that he had been sodomised and suggested, for purposes of the police report, that Saiful go to a government hospital.

Who is Rodwan, other than the fact that he works for the IGP and is known as the police chief’s bagman and go-between with the organised crime syndicate that controls all the drugs, prostitution, loan-sharking and gambling rackets? Well, read the following archived reports to get a better understanding of this scumbag and slime-ball named Rodwan. Maybe then you can understand why he met Saiful in a hotel room three days before the sodomy allegation against Anwar Ibrahim exploded.

Berita Harian
Rabu, 30 Disember 1998

Seorang pakar forensik Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) memberitahu Mahkamah Tinggi di sini hari ini bahawa contoh darah Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim tidak boleh digunakan untuk ujian DNA kerana ia diambil dan disediakan bagi ujian HIV, Hepatitis B dan VD (penyakit kelamin).

Dr Zahari Noor berkata, oleh kerana itu beliau menolak permintaan polis sebanyak dua kali supaya contoh darah itu digunakan untuk ujian DNA. Menurutnya, ketika di Ibu Pejabat Polis Bukit Aman pada 28 September lalu bagi mengambil darah Anwar, beliau ditanya oleh Asisten Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof sama ada ujian DNA boleh dilakukan terhadap Anwar. Katanya, beliau menasihatkan polis supaya tidak mengambil darah Anwar untuk ujian DNA kerana Anwar hanya memberi persetujuan supaya darahnya digunakan bagi ujian HIV, Hepatitis B dan VD.

"Pada 15 Oktober lalu, Mohd Rodwan dan SAC I (Senior Asisten Komisioner) Musa Hassan datang ke HKL dan bertanya sama ada mereka boleh mengambil contoh darah Anwar untuk analisis DNA," katanya.

Dr Zahari: Kami memberikan empat sebab kepada polis mengapa ujian DNA tidak boleh dilakukan terhadap darah Anwar:

* contoh itu tidak disediakan untuk analisis DNA,

* ia tidak sesuai untuk ujian DNA,

* pendapat kami ialah keputusan ujian DNA itu tidak boleh dipercayai.

* ia boleh membawa keputusan yang mengelirukan kerana kami menyimpan contoh darah itu di dalam bekas biasa tanpa pengawet atau EDTA.

Katanya, mereka kemudian mencadangkan kepada polis bahawa mereka bersedia pada bila-bila masa untuk mengambil contoh darah Anwar di penjara Sungai Buloh untuk ujian DNA jika tertuduh membenarkannya.

************************************************

"In 1998-1999 trials, Anwar experienced the phenomenon of fabrication of DNA evidence. We had SAC Rodwan illegally removing DNA samples from forensic custody. In cross-examination of the prosecution's witnesses it was exposed that DNA taken from blood samples was planted on the infamous mattress," said Sivarasa.

"When confronted with this fact the prosecution amended its charge and persuaded the judge, Augustine Paul, to expunge the entire DNA evidence from the record, preventing Anwar's lawyers from responding."

*************************************************

Police have never dilly-dallied in investigating the alleged sodomy against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim since the case was reported to police on June 28, said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar. He said the police, instead, had been relentlessly seeking relevant and the latest information, besides giving the case priority, as it was a high-profile case.

"We want to solve this case as soon as possible. The investigating officer is constantly looking for new leads. We are doing our best and we need the cooperation of all quarters concerned," he told Bernama when contacted here Tuesday.

Ismail was asked to comment on Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar's statement on Monday, asking for police to speed up the investigations into the sodomy allegation against the Parti Keadilan Rakyat advisor.

He said since the police investigations began, some quarters had been making speculations and statements that could interfere with the investigations.

"I wish to warn everyone, including bloggers, not to disturb police investigations by disseminating material or information that is inaccurate or false.

"Action will be taken against those who deliberately try to interfere with the investigations. Let the police do a meticulous job," he added.

*************************************************

Sources told The Malaysian Insider that investigators are "crossing the t's and dotting the i's" and will be relying on Anwar's DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) samples from 1998 when he faced similar charges which cost him the chance to be prime minister.

"Nobody wants a repeat of 1998 when the prosecution had to amend the charges. Anwar has alleged that he had an alibi for the 24 hours on the day the offence took place. So the authorities have to check everything out," said an official who is familiar with the investigations.

"We understand that there is an attempt to quash credibility of the case even before the matter goes to court. The police cannot say too much because then they will be accused of trial by media and ministers cannot say much because they will be accused to interference.

"This case is built on strong scientific evidence," the official added.

This was posted on Susan Loone’s blog:

Susan,

I would like to write the following statement in the name of GOD whom I believe.

I am a government doctor in the rank of consultant working in Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL). I know personally the doctors who examined Saiful on that day - 28 June 2008.

The so-called medical report mentioned in the NST is a fabrication or imagination by the UMNO paper. There is no such medical report submitted to the polis yet.

When examining Saiful, the specialist could not find any signs of Saiful being sodomised. Saiful was very cheerful, unlike real sodomised patients who will usually be very sad and disturbed.

Saiful was subsequently admitted to the ward and observed for a day. He was completely well in the ward and not emotionally disturbed.

Please let RPK know of this.

Thanks.

Police to ask Interpol to look out for Raja Petra

By LOURDES CHARLES and M. MAGESWARI | staronline

KUALA LUMPUR: Police will ask Interpol to look out for Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin who has a warrant of arrest against him for failing to turn up at court for trial.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said Tuesday he would liaise with his counterparts especially his Australian counterpart as Raja Petra is believed to be there.

“We will inform our friends through proper channel as there is a warrant out for him,” he said.

On Tuesday morning, Raja Petra was slapped with another warrant of arrest after he failed to turn up for his criminal defamation trial at a Sessions Court here.

Sessions Court judge Mohamad Sekeri Mamat issued the arrest warrant after DPP Anselm Charles Fernandis applied for the order.

The judge also issued a show-cause notice to the former Internal Security Act detainee’s wife, Marina Lee Abdullah, as his bailor, for not being at court to explain his absence.

An arrest warrant was also issued by the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court on April 23 against Raja Petra after he failed to turn up for his sedition trial. He had claimed trial on May 6 last year to publishing a seditious article on April 25 via his news portal.

When asked about the presence of prosecution witnesses in court Tuesday, DPP Anselm told reporters that 12 policemen and two civilians had been subpoenaed for the trial.

Raja Petra, 59, had on July 17 last year claimed trial to three counts of criminal defamation over his statutory declaration on the murder of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu.

The father of three boys and two girls is alleged to have defamed the then Deputy Prime Minister’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, by making a libellous statement in the declaration which he affirmed on June 18 when he knew that it would tarnish her good name.

The grandfather of four also faces two similar charges against Leftenan Kolonel Norhayati Hassan and her husband Leftenan Kolonel Abdul Aziz Buyong.

Raja Petra is said to have committed the offences at High Court (Civil 5) at the Jalan Duta court complex at 10:25am on June 18, last year.

At the outset of court proceedings, DPP Anselm applied for the arrest warrant against the editor and the notice for his wife saying that both were aware that the criminal defamation trial was set for three days from Tuesday.

Raja Petra’s lawyer, Amarjit Singh Sidhu, told the judge that the defence team was waiting to get a trial date at the Court of Appeal for their appeal on the transfer order involving the same case.

“We have now received the appeal records. It is on the transfer of this case from the Magistrates Court to the Sessions Court,” he added.

Upon hearing this, DPP Anselm told the judge that it was a separate matter.

The judge agreed that it was a different issue and immediately issued the order.

He set July 2 for mention of the arrest warrant and show-cause notice.

Raja Petra had failed in his bid on Feb 13 to get his case transferred back to the magistrate’s court for trial.

He had on Nov 25 applied to the High Court to have his case heard by the Magistrates Court.

However, High Court Judicial Commissioner Zainal Azman Ab Aziz ruled that the decision by magistrate Nazran Mohd Sham on Aug 15 last year to transfer the case to the Sessions Court upon application by the Public Prosecutor under Section 177 of the Criminal Procedure Code was valid and in order.

Raja Petra claims to be in a self-exile from Selangor because of a dispute with the state’s Palace.

He claimed in a Malaysia Today article that he would not be attending the hearings not only because of his brush with the Palace but also due to his fear of another Internal Security Act arrest.

He also said that he did not want to face possible treason charges.

According to the press report, the police believes that the editor is now in Brisbane.

Cops: RPK now staying in Brisbane

PETALING JAYA: Police have confirmed that online news portal Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin is in Brisbane.

A police source said the former Internal Security Act (ISA) detainee had contacts in Australia who had arranged accommodation for him and his wife Marina Lee Abdullah.

Raja Petra was not present on Friday to face his sedition trial at the Sessions Court here. The court had issued a warrant of arrest against him after he first failed to turn up in court on April 23 for the trial.

On his news portal that same day, Raja Petra had posted his reasons for his non-attendance, saying he was in self-exile from Selangor because of a dispute with the state’s royalty.

The arrest warrant and a show-cause notice for Marina — who is his bailor — summoning her to explain her husband’s absence at court had not been executed.

The court set July 17 for mention of the case, saying that the next course of action would be decided by judge Rozina Ayob.

Raja Petra has, however, been actively blogging on the news portal with a recent post issuing an apology to the nation for the actions of his son, Raja Azman, who recently pleaded guilty to four separate counts of theft, receiving stolen property and criminal trespass.

He said he and his wife knew that their son was picked up by the police after running into some trouble.

I rest my case

From time to time we hear stories about the Malaysian judiciary that make the prostitutes operating in Jalan Alor look like Mother Teresa by comparison. (I mean I heard lah people say that they operate in Jalan Alor).

Saturday, 23 May 2009 | NO HOLDS BARRED | Raja Petra Kamarudin

However, I'm rather interested in asking him to reply me. If the trial is held in KL, would he appear, since it's not part of Selangor?

But of course not, there's the ISA threat there.

So you know what I'm going to do for you, RPK?

I'll write to the Home Minister to address that fear. Perhaps a guarantee from him and the IGP should be well enough for you to show up?

And since we want to see justice served, perhaps the Bar Council should step up as well, be proactive for once.

Also, why not ask the prosecutor to transfer the case to KL anyways, since you're apparently "self exiled" from the state of Selangor.

With these conditions met, how now, RPK?

Last year, in a press conference in the lobby of the courts in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur, lawyer Muhammad Shafee Bin Abdullah (in English that translates to ‘Praiseworthy Broker the Son of the Servant of Allah’ -- but don’t for one minute you believe that utter bullshit) told about 20 or 30 journalists that he wants to meet me in court. To make sure I agree to go to court, he said he would allow me to choose the judge I would like. And if I do not have money to pay the legal fees he would be very happy to help cover the cost on my behalf.

Anyone who did not know Shafee better would probably think he was just bragging even though he does have a name Praiseworthy Broker. Note that, according to his name, he is not the servant of Allah but the son of the servant of Allah. He, personally, is the Praiseworthy Broker and any praiseworthy broker worth his brokerage fees must certainly be able to indulge in the widely rumoured and long-standing problem of judge fixing in the Malaysian courts.



VK Linggam and Chief Justice Eusoff Chin on an overseas holiday together

If I remember right, the Linggamtape scandal was also about judge fixing. However, they first had to fix who gets elevated and promoted before they can get these judges to fix cases. It is said by those who walk in the corridors of the palace of injustice, if you want to fix a civil case then go to Linggam and if it is a criminal case you go to Shafee. But be prepared to pay through your backside because that would probably be what you will need to sell to afford the exorbitant fees.

Back in 1998 or thereabouts, a ‘poison pen letter’ -- purportedly written by a judge named Syed Aidid -- made its rounds in Malaysia. In this very lengthy letter, the author identified all those judges who were on the take and what their fetishes were. Power, money and sex, but not necessarily in that order, were of course the common denominator for all. Syed Aidid’s letter would have been shorter, maybe half a page or so instead of the 40 pages, if he had listed down all those judges who were clean and pure.

From time to time we hear stories about the Malaysian judiciary that make the prostitutes operating in Jalan Alor look like Mother Teresa by comparison. (I mean I heard lah people say that they operate in Jalan Alor). Sometimes we really just can’t believe that all this could be true and that they must be exaggerating a wee bit -- that is, until you end up in court and discover not only is it true but actually worse than what they say.

Hafidz Baharom who has offered to help fix my judges

And read what Hafidz Baharom said in his Blog posting above. Yes, that’s right, he can help arrange to transfer my many cases to the court of my choice. Hey, who the hell is he? I mean, if it were Slime-ball Number One, Praiseworthy Broker the Son of the Servant of Allah, I would quite understand. After all they don’t call him Slime-ball Number One for nothing and his father did name him Praiseworthy Broker. But for a so unimportant and extremely insignificant fellow like Hafidz, who is way low down the food chain, to be able to offer to fix the judges on my behalf, it appears like this problem is even worse than we initially thought.

I rest my case. And if you still have doubts about the sorry state of the Malaysian judiciary then maybe I can interest you in some swampland that you should invest all your life savings in without further delay.
