Raja Petra Kamarudin
On 2 September 1998, Anwar Ibrahim was sacked as Deputy Prime
Minister of Malaysia. On 20 September 1998, he was detained under the
Internal Security Act. And on 29 September 1998, he was charged with
four counts of abusing his power and five counts of sexual
misconduct; a total of nine charges.
In all, 52 witnesses were called to testify. The prosecution's
'deadliest' witness was an unknown chemist who went by the name of
Lim Kong Boon. Chemist Lim was to testify about the DNA testing he
did to 'prove' Anwar had committed acts of sexual misconduct. Chemist
Lim's testimony, however, was blown apart as was the very important
mattress that was carted in and out of court the entire duration of
the trial but was eventually never produced as evidence. Chemist Lim
could not confirm whether the 'evidence' was planted before or after
Anwar was arrested. The police further testified that the mattress
was not under lock and key and anyone could have access to the
mattress and plant the evidence later.
Realising that Anwar would now probably walk free, on 12 January 1999
the prosecution amended the charge whereby the phrase 'to deny sexual
misconduct and sodomy committed by you for the purpose of protecting
yourself from criminal action or proceedings' was deleted from the
charge. This now meant that the prosecution did not have to prove
Anwar had committed the alleged sexual offences. They only needed to
prove that allegations had been made against him even if the
allegations may be false or unproven. In other words, it no longer
mattered whether Anwar did or did not commit sodomy. They only needed
to prove that Anwar tried to hush up the allegation even if it may
have been false. And they also need not explain why Anwar would want
to hush up a false allegation. That part had now been deleted from
the charge.
To ensure that the now demolished 'evidence' of Anwar's sexual
misconduct would not jeopardise the prosecution's case, on 14 January
1999 the judge, Augustine Paul, ordered that all evidence that had
been adduced to prove or rebut the allegations of Anwar's sexual
misconduct and sodomy be expunged. In one swoop the evidence and
testimony were erased from the records. And with that Anwar was
assured of getting convicted but only by changing the rules many
times half-way through the game in favour of the prosecution.
On 14 April 1999, Anwar was found guilty on all charges and sentenced
to six years jail for each of the four charges of corruption. Then
they again put Anwar on trial to face the five sexual misconduct
charges where he again was found guilty and sentenced to another nine
years jail. We all know that they were never able to prove sexual
misconduct and the prosecution's star witness, Azizan Abu Bakar,
actually confessed while under oath that the sodomy act never took
place. That was the only 'evidence' they had, the sole testimony of
Azizan, and he swore that Anwar never sodomised him.
Another seldom-talked about case is that of Anwar's adopted brother,
Sukma, and his speechwriter, Dr Munawar, who were both sent to jail
for six months on charges that they allowed Anwar to sodomise them. A
Malay doctor who was called to testify said that he had examined
Sukma and found that he has never had anal intercourse. In fact,
because of the very peculiar medical ailment that Sukma suffers from,
it would have been impossible for anyone to have had anal intercourse
with him.
Nevertheless, Sukma spent six months in jail for 'allowing' Anwar to
sodomise him (as did Dr Munawar) while the expert witness, the Malay
doctor, 'disappeared' soon after that -- sent to a place where no one
will find him.
Now, all this happened almost ten years ago. What, you may ask, has
this got to do with today? Well, today, all these people who sent
Anwar to jail on trumped-up charges and rigged evidence are heading
the Royal Malaysian Police, Attorney-General's Chamber, Judiciary,
and so on. That's right, all these crooks, scoundrels, slime-balls
and scumbags are now in charge of dispensing justice. Today, the
Judiciary, the Attorney-General's Chambers, the Anti-Corruption
Agency, and the Royal Malaysian Police, are all partners-in-crime and
they serve the rapidly-expanding Chinese organised crime syndicate
that runs the nation-wide drugs, prostitution, illegal gambling and
loan-sharking rackets. The man 'on the other side' is of course BK
Tan, the man who helped the present IGP and AG obtain that most
damaging testimony against Anwar. Without BK Tan's help the IGP and
AG would not have been able to doctor the evidence against Anwar.
And today they are all partners in a most lucrative tax-free business
that reaps billions a month. I know what the government is now going
to say. These are all unfounded rumours and unproven allegations.
Anyone can say something without the evidence to prove what they are
saying. Sure, but when witnesses come forward to testify their lives
are put at risk. I know of at least four witnesses who testified
against the crime syndicates and helped prove the link between those
who walk in the corridors of power and the underworld who have been
exposed and now fear for their lives. I am holding onto their
Affidavits and have kept them in a safe place so that I can in time
reveal them. We will let those who walk in the corridors of power
sweat it out awhile longer before I expose these Affidavits. And if
anything happens to me they will be made public before you can finish
saying, "Gotcha!"
In the last report (see: Blow away the whistle-blower) we spoke about
how the family of a police officer named Nordin bin Ahmad was
kidnapped by the ACA. Nordin was then told to make his presence at
the ACA office if he wants his family released. What the ACA wanted
from Nordin was his case files so that they can find out the identity
of the whistle-blowers. The police wanted to know who the whistle-
blowers are and the ACA was helping them get it for them. Nordin and
his wife have since made police reports on the matter.
Yes, the ACA is very much a part of this organised crime syndicate
partnership together with those who walk in the corridors of power.
What's that I hear? Prove it? Sure, when we make allegations you
scream 'prove it'. But when we do prove it you use the Official
Secrets Act against us and send us to jail for a couple of years.
Remember Ezam Mohd Nor? He proved that Rafidah Aziz is corrupt. In
fact, Rafidah herself admitted that she was in the room when the
committee met to discuss her son-in-law's share application. She
never denied it. And the ACA report proved beyond any shadow of doubt
that she is guilty. But it was Ezam instead of Rafidah who was sent
to jail for two years.
And what about all those witnesses who have come forward to reveal
the links between the organised crime syndicate and those who walk in
the corridors of power? Two are being charged for slandering the IGP.
Another was locked up in the lockup. Another had his wife and
children kidnapped. And these are just the police officers mind you.
We are yet to even touch on the fate of those whistle-blowers who now
all have prices on their heads and will probably not be around to
celebrate Christmas.
This is what The Sun reported on 4 October 2007:
The panel investigating the authenticity of a video clip showing a
senior lawyer purportedly discussing the appointment of top judges
over the telephone today asked the person who recorded it to come
forward "for the sake of Malaysia".
"Somebody out there (has) the original video. Does he have the
responsibility (to come forward)? There may have been others who were
there (during the incident). Have they got the responsibility?"
"If you don't come, don't complain, because at the end of the day,
our report is based on the material made available to us," said panel
member Datuk Mahadev Shankar.
Dey! Mahadev! Malaysia Today has only one word in reply to your
suggestion. Porah! You want the whistle-blower to die or what? Bodoh
punya olang. Buat malu kaum awak sahaja.
Now, let's look at another news report from The Star of 3 October 2007:
Two police officers who allegedly tried to frame Inspector-General of
Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan by falsifying and tampering with witness
statements have been arrested. The two, a chief inspector and a lance
corporal, were arrested in Kuantan and Kluang yesterday. They are
both in their 40s.
ACA director-general Datuk Ahmad Said Hamdan said they allegedly
falsified the statements of seven witnesses as a basis to arrest
three people under the Emergency Ordinance 1969 by claiming that they
were members of a gaming syndicate. "As a result, the three were
arrested by police officers from the Kluang district police
headquarters on March 30," he said.
The three men were freed after investigations into their cases and
allegations arose of Musa ordering the three people to be freed after
receiving RM2mil. Ahmad Said said investigations showed that when the
three were detained, Musa had received information that they had been
framed.
He said Musa ordered CID officers from the intelligence and
operations division to conduct a thorough investigation into the
matter. ACA investigations later revealed that the IGP did not order
or issue any instruction to release the three, he added. "However,
the IGP said if there was any abuse of power or fabrication of
evidence, then they must be released," he said.
Ahmad Said added that CID investigations also revealed that the seven
who were detained denied ever giving statements to the Kluang police
about the involvement of the three people in a gaming syndicate. As a
result, the three were freed in April.
Yes, that is the fate of police officers who detain organised crime
bosses. They will end up in jail. And witnesses too will end up in
jail while whistle-blowers will get exposed and their lives would be
at risk. And members of the public who expose corrupt ministers or
government officers will also end up in jail on the charge of
releasing classified documents. And Malaysia Today's Editor, Raja
Petra Kamarudin, too faces the risk of being sent to jail for
releasing evidence that proves there is a link between the organised
crime syndicate and those who walk in the corridors of power. If that
is what I will be sent to jail for I will be most honoured to walk
into jail with my head held up high. Sure, send me to jail. But it
will not be for lying. It will be for revealing the truth backed with
letters and documents.
Yes, it is certainly alarming to know that the organised crime
syndicate, the Judiciary, the Attorney-General's Chambers, the Royal
Malaysian Police and the Anti-Corruption Agency have this unholy
alliance. But what is there to be surprised when there is such a
thing called honour amongst thieves? And is it not true that the
corridors of power is nothing but a den of thieves? And if Anwar
Ibrahim's trials as well as the Altantuya murder trial are still not
enough to satisfy you that there is something rotten in the corridors
of power, get a load of the following letters. And if the following
letters still do not convince you about who really walks in the
corridors of power, then you probably believe in the Tooth Fairy and
Santa Claus.
In the latest scam, those who walk in the corridors of power are
trying to secure the release of Goh Cheng Poh a.k.a. Tengku who is
now under restricted residence in Kelantan. Tengku, BK Tan's main
man, has filed an Affidavit citing mala fide and he wants his
detention to be declared illegal. And this is why the police officers
and witnesses have suffered kidnapping, detention, prosecution,
persecution, exposure to the public, etc. This is to intimidate them
and to get them to recant their stories implicating the crime bosses
and to say that the crime bosses are innocent, law-abiding citizens
and victims of a police fix-up just like what happened to Anwar, his
brother-in-law and speech-writer in 1998.
The police want to submit an Affidavit-in-Reply but the AG's Chambers
refuses to do so. Can you believe this? The AG's Chambers refuses to
challenge the Affidavit from Tengku. This means Tengku's Affidavit
will go uncontested and he will not only walk free but those who
arrested him together with those who testified against him will end
up in jail instead.
These three letters of 13 pages certainly makes interesting reading
indeed. I will not expand on what the letters say as they are self-
explanatory. If these letters still do not warrant the setting up of
a Royal Commission of Inquiry then I don't know what will. These
letters could support the setting up of ten Royal Commissions of
Inquiries. In fact, these letters prove that this government is no
longer qualified to stay in office and should resign immediately. If
I were Abdullah Ahmad Badawi I would do the noble thing: I would take
my gun and put it in my mouth and pull the trigger.
