The justice we come to expect in Malaysia!

SURPRISE! SURPRISE!! Premier Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor will not be testifying in the Sodomy II trial as they are "not material witnesses".

This follows the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision today to throw out the subpoenas served on them to testify as defence witnesses in Anwar Ibrahim's trial.

In allowing Najib and Rosmah"s application to be set aside, justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah said they are not relevant and material witnesses in the trial.

Zabidin issued the subpoenas last month but he ruled in favour of an application by the couple to strike them out, saying the defence failed to show their involvement

(even through Najib has admitted meeting Anwar's accuser Mohamad Saiful Bukhari Azlan two days before the alleged sodomy).

IS ANYONE IN MALAYSIA REALLY SURPRISE BY THIS VERDICT!!

All I can say is that this is not COOL! on Najib's part!!

Another news that is NOT SURPRISING!!!

The police have identified a police personnel who during the July 9 Bersih 2.0 rally allegedly used out excessive force on demonstrators.

Contacted yesterday, Kuala Lumpur CID chief Ku Chin Wah said that a police report was lodged against the errant officer - who was wearing a bandana across his face during the rally - but no prosecution will take place.

"The matter has been referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers and no further action could be taken against him due to the absence of witnesses," he told Malaysiakini.

I GUESS WE BETTER GET USE TO THIS LAH!

That is as long as Malaysian are stupid enough to still keep on voting for BN and still believe how efficient and good they are at running this country!

With reports that none of the 25 cases of serial acid attacks that took place in the Klang Valley this year have been solved, (Parliament was told today). How can any alternative party do any worst?

I guess we can't blame the police entirely. After all they are very busy trying to find evidence to incriminate an old man (with a bad back) with sodomizing a tall young fit guy!!

Our courts are being turn into a circus BN's political gain! Shameless!!

Something rotten at the Duta courts

Jun 25, 11 6:26pm

Shakespeare wrote in the play 'Hamlet' that "something is rotten in the state of Denmark". Court of Appeal judge NH Chan had also made similar remarks when he wrote the Ayer Molek Rubber Co Bhd vs Insas Bhd judgment in 1995, where he described the case he was presiding over as being about an injustice perpetrated by a court of law.

Can yesterday's conviction of the infamous 'Datuk T' trio be said a travesty of justice deserving the local version that goes "something is rotten in Duta courts" resulting in possibly another charge looming over Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim?

Anwar had yesterday maintained the government's conspiracy in the matter, asking how can one respect a government when its instruments are so blatantly used politically.

Let's back-track a bit before returning to the conviction. The video was screened on March 21 at the posh and historical Carcosa Seri Negara Hotel by the Datuk T for several invited editors and journalists in a room booked under the name of former Malacca chief minister Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik, who is also Risda chairperson.

Rahim is part of the Datuk T trio that also comprised businessperson Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and former MP Shuib Lazim - all three later claimed responsibility for the event. The three protagonists had called on Anwar to resign.

This led to Anwar issuing a statement on the same day, March 21, denying that he was the man in the video and lodged a police report the next day.

As a result, the trio was called in and it was during this time Eskay said he had handed the only copy of the sex tape to the police.

However, parts of the clip made their way online just before the Sarawak state elections, only to resurface last month, this time in full. It also made its way to the homes of village headmen and politicians via post.

After a period of silence, Eskay took a religious oath at a Sentul mosque - complete with bullet-proof vest - to swear that Anwar was the man in the video.

He repeated himself yesterday when the facts of the case were being read out in court, telling the court that the man in the video who resembles Anwar, was indeed the politician.

Subsequently the trio pleaded guilty to be fined a total of RM5,500.

Discrepancy before yesterday

When Eskay told reporters on Wednesday that he would be charged on Friday, several parliament reporters claimed that they spotted Rahim apparently meeting Prime Minister Najib Razak in the august House.

While Najib denied the meeting took place, Anwar maintains it did indeed happen, suggesting that it would probably lead to the charge being reduced, thus adding muscle to his assertion of a political conspiracy.

The trio - Eskay, Rahim and Shuib - were the main actors along with DPPs Kamaludin Md Said and Mohd Hanafiah Zakaria and respected lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah as well as two other defence lawyers.

Another bombshell dropped before the Datuk T trio were charged was when Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia published a story yesterday quoting Eskay as saying he was ready for any outcome with the article aptly titled 'Kami sedia apa saja hukuman' (We are prepared to face any punishment).

So Utusan had a scoop, probably because they knew the high possibility of all three preparing to plead guilty.

The same report stated that the trio would be charged under Section 5 of the Film Censorship Act, for circulating, exhibiting, distributing and displaying an obscene film, which is punishable by a fine of not less than RM10,000 and not more than RM50,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or both.

Utusan however got that charge wrong when prosecution filed a lesser charge against Datuk T. Anwar pounced on this to back his political conspiracy accusation.

Proceedings in court

Before the arrival of the accused, reporters somehow knew in advance that the case would be heard at magistrate's court three and rushed up there.

Normally, a case would have to be registered first, only then will the courtroom be known. That is the normal procedure any lawyer will tell you to ensure that there is no fixing of judge or magistrate.

It could not be determined if the case had been registered first when the counter opened at 8am and that Eskay and co were told to arrive at that time, but they instead presented themselves sometime around 9.15am in court.

According to reporters covering the trial, two widescreen televisions were already placed in court as a possible prelude to the video being screened.

Some lawyers who were not watching the case but were in the massive court complex were heard murmuring that the protests outside the court in support of Datuk T and the charging were merely a sideshow - a show which has entranced and held the whole nation captive as the three-and-a-half hour proceedings rolled on.

Another point of oddity was when the charge was read out under section 292 of the Penal Code, all three had asked for a break to consult their counsel, as this was "a new charge".

When the case was recalled, they pleaded guilty and suprisingly, the facts of case had already been conveniently prepared.

The normal proceedings in such cases in a magistrate's court is that when a person pleads guilty, the prosecutors would seek more time - usually a few hours or in the afternoon and sometimes the next day to prepare the statement.

However, in this case, after a 45-minute interval, the charge was read again and all three entered their plea with the statement of facts ready to be read out in court.

The five-page fact sheet appeared to have been carefully crafted to implicate Anwar in the video as his name was mentioned at least five times right from the first paragraph.

Then came the real jolt when Shafee and not the prosecution told the magistrate that according to case laws, many such cases had been thrown out on appeal because the obscene material had not been screened.

He then applied for the 20-minute sex-clip to be shown in court. The prosecution and other defence counsel raised no objections.

The tape then appeared on the two big screens, which had been been placed there earlier.

Then Shafee began his lengthy submission in mitigation, representing the third defendant, Rahim.

He stated that the revelation of video was made in the defence of the public good and his client's role was merely booking the hotel room. The other two counsel then delivered their submissions.

Merely coincidences or conspiracy

Putting together all the incidents, what is a sane person to assume - that they were merely coincidences or a meticulously crafted consipiracy as claimed by Anwar?

This despite the foreign expert findings that the person performing the sex act resembled the opposition leader.

The tape was shot before the crucial Sarawak election and the other point is that Anwar, who is facing an ongoing sodomy trial at that time, had successful block the admission of three crucial evidence retrieved in the police lock-up - the toothbrush, the mineral water bottle and white towel.

The other point not mentioned earlier is that Eskay himself was embroiled in a legal battle involving a RM20 million suit he filed against Merong Mahawangsa Sdn Bhd and one of its directors, over the construction of the Johor Baru crooked bridge. The High Court ruled against him.

It is strange that the sex tape investigations took three months as according to a retired senior police officer, in such cases the person caught would be charged within a week. The clip was also widely distributed after Eskay had handed what he claimed as the only copy to the police.

Were hidden hands at work when what was reportedly a charge under the Film Censorship Act as was highlighted in Utusan was reduced to a lesser offence under the Penal Code?

Is it a coincidence that big screen televisions were placed in court before the start of proceedings and the facts of case conveniently prepared.

As the facts present themselves, the readers can decide whether something rotten really happened at the Duta Court yesterday.

Just don't make sense!

Been reading about Anwar vs Saiful Bukhari case!

In The Star,

Malaysiakini

&

MalaysiaToday

Also found an article that ask some good question!

1. How does a 63 year old man who spend 10 years in jail with bad back rape a young healthy 23 year old man!

And this is not a small guy! I mean he is tall!

If the sex was not consensual, how did an old man force himself onto a strapping young man 23 years of age (as noted by the analysts in Malaysiakini)? Were there accomplices? Was he drugged?

2. If he was sexually assaulted by Anwar Ibrahim, then why did he allow Anwar to get away with it more than once (based on his police report)?

3. Based on today's Star report how did he allow Anwar to fondled his breast for half an hour!

4. Also based on today's report , Even through Saiful had objected... Anwar somehow managed to lubricate himself/Saiful, penetrated Saiful and rape him long enough until Anwar managed to ejaculate inside him. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!! Saiful is not 12! He is 23! A fully grown man!! Anwar is an old man!!!

4. How will he address all the concerns about his pictures with government ministers floating around the net? Why did he visit Najib before he made the report?!?

5. How did he not shower, shit or wash his mouth for a few days?!?

THIS JUST DON"T MAKE SENSE!!!!

6. Finally why are all the Bapuk in Chow Kit (some of whom are Malays, still running around freely selling their ass for RM20) without the Police catching them?!?

7. Why so much resources of the Govt, the AG office and the Courts on this man?!?

If he was that bad! Please go catch him for something that is more believable!!

x-top cop: DNA evidence faked in Sodomy I

A former investigating officer in Anwar Ibrahim's 'black-eye' case has claimed that the DNA evidence was fabricated during the first sodomy trial in 1998.

Former Kuala Lumpur CID chief Mat Zain Ibrahim mentioned this in passing in an open appeal letter to solicitor-general Idrus Harun. A copy was made available to the media today.

Mat Zain did not provide details, but hinted that this had been sufficiently explained in his Dec 27, 2010 13-page letter to the inspector-general of police (IGP), that was also forwarded to the prime minister and to Idrus.

“In my letter, I explained that any investigation of the information must refer to the investigation papers of the black-eye incident because of overlapping incidents. The main players in the black-eye case and the DNA fabrication are the same,” he wrote.

The black-eye case refers to Anwar's assault at the hands of former IGP Abdul Rahim Mohd Noor(left in photo) on Sept 20, 1998.

Based on the findings of a subsequent royal commission of inquiry, Rahim was charged in court with the assault and pleaded guilty.

Mat Zain said the main purpose of his letter was to point out to Idrus that Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein and de factoLaw Minister Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz had made misleading statements to Parliament about his allegations.

“I believe that (you) are aware that the statements of the two ministers contained important facts and/or information that was untrue and/or confusing and/or was distorted.

“I also believe that (you) are aware that the attorney-general, whether intentionally or otherwise, had caused Hishammuddin and Nazri to make confusing statements in Parliament.

“In my words, they have given the wrong information to the public. As a result, both ministers might be at risk of legal action.”

He argued that the two ministers were not the competent authority to speak on the attorney-general's behalf.

Mat Zain has been on a campaign to clear his name after Anwar had mentioned him, among others, in a 2008 police report accusing the authorities of tampering with evidence in the black-eye case.

Others mentioned in Anwar's police report are Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail, former IGP Musa Hassan (left) and one Dr Abdul Rahman Yusof. Abdul Gani and Musa have been clearedof wrongdoing by the authorities but the status of Mat Zain and Abdul Rahman is unclear.

Mat Zain's series of letters urging the police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to clear his name have led to him accusing Abdul Gani and Musa of fabricating evidence in the black-eye case.

In particular, Mat Zain claimed that the duo were instrumental in producing three medical reports by Abdul Rahman which offered varying conclusions.

Lingering questions

Mat Zain urged Idrus to exercise his powers to initiate investigations to answer several questions once and for all, including:

• Whether it is true that there were three different medical reports on the black-eye incident produced by Abdul Rahman.

• Whether it is true that the first medical report dated Oct 26, 1998 was not submitted to the royal commission.

• Whether Abdul Gani, and/or Musa, and/or Abdul Rahman, and/or Mat Zain were involved in producing the three medical reports.

“I believe that (you) cannot deny that you received the three medical reports prepared by Abdul Rahman (that was attached to) my letters dated April 15, 2009 and May 7, 2009,” Mat Zain wrote.

“I believe (you) are not someone who would trash such documents, but rather would verify the veracity of the documents.”

He concluded by explaining the significance of only unveiling this letter today.

“On Jan 5, 1999 then attorney-general Mohtar Abdullah issued a press statement prepared by Abdul Gani (left) on the police investigations into the black-eye incident.

“I cannot forget this historic date. The Jan 5, 1999 press statement destroyed the credibility of the Royal Malaysian Police, especially the team investigating the black-eye incident.”

That press statement had also caused cabinet to mistakenly believe that the police were unable to police itself and thus a royal commission of inquiry was established to take over investigations.

However, Mat Zain pointed out that the royal commission had found that the police were capable of performing investigations “without fear or favour” as noted in commission's final report.

“I believe that (you) and senior officials in the Attorney-General's Chambers are aware that the Jan 5, 1999 press statement was the main evidence that can be used to lay criminal charges against Abdul Gani and his accomplices in relation to false and fabricated statements,” he added.

During Anwar's first sodomy trial, Abdul Gani was the senior DPP leading the prosecution team, while Musa was the investigating officer.

Both quickly rose up the ranks and helmed their respective organisations after Anwar was jailed.

The sodomy conviction was eventually overturned on appeal.

More ridicules judgement from Judges in Malaysia!

Judge throws out Anwar's defamation suit against Mahathir because it was written in English and not BM! However the bias judgement was written in delivered in ENGLISH!! DAMN!!

So Anwar appeals against this! But...

In delivering the ruling today (24 Nov), the Federal Court dismissed Anwar Ibrahim's preliminary objection to a Court of Appeal judgment over a defamation suit he had filed in 2006 against Dr Mahathir Mohamad because it was in English.

The appellate court judgment was however written in English.

Chief Judge of Malaya Justice Arifin Zakaria (left)said this morning that the grounds of judgment do not constitute part of a judgment.

Judges have wide discretion to write their grounds of judgment either in the national language Bahasa Malaysia or English.

Quoting the Law Lexicon, he said the reasons for judgment are not themselves judgments though they may furnish the court's reasons for the decision and thus form a precedent.

“Thus it is clear that 'judgment' must be distinguished from 'reasons for judgment' or what we commonly refer to as grounds of judgment,” he said.

He nonetheless declared that the court views seriously the use of the national language in courts.

Justice Arifin also cited a 1990 circular by former Chief Judge of Malaya, Justice Hashim Yeop Sani, directing judges and judicial commissioners of the High Courts, Session Courts and Magistrate's Courts to submit to him at least one written grounds of judgment in the national language each month.

This was to identify problems arising out of the implementation of the use of the national language in courts.

“This circular reinforces our view that judges indeed have a discretion to deliver the grounds of judgment either in the national language or the English language,” said Justice Arifin.

“For the above reasons we hold that it is not contrary to Article 152 (of the federal constitution) and Section 8 of the National Language Act.”

Following the decision - which led to the appeal being struck out - Arifin ordered Anwar to pay costs of RM70,000, although Mahathir's lawyer VK Lingam had applied for RM100,000.

Lingam said he had to prepare more than 6,000 pages of documentation with two other lawyers.

He further said a benchmark must be set for leave applications in Federal Court cases, citing a decision where the apex court had agreed to award RM100,000. Karpal asked for costs be set at RM20,000.

Anwar appeared resentful of the decision.

"He (Lingam) is a multi-millionaire. I lost the case. He is Mahathir's lawyer, so how can we win?" he said outside the court room.

His lawyer Karpal Singh said he would consider filing a review.

Arifin led a three-member panel also comprising Federal Court judge Justice James Foong and Court of Appeal judge Justice Suriyadi Halim Omar.

Constitutional issue

Karpal had raised a novel constitutional issue at the apex court on Sept 27, when he said all written judgments should be in Bahasa Malaysia.

This was in the preliminary objection after the Court of Appeal dismissed Anwar's appeal last December on the grounds that it was not submitted in the national language. Ironically, the court's judgment itself was rendered in English.

Karpal then asked the apex court to compel the Court of Appeal to write its judgment in Bahasa Malaysia, after which Anwar's appeal application could proceed.

“Most of the written judgments in civil or criminal cases are in English at all levels of the court,” he said.

“Hence, this brings into question the validity in the jurisdiction of all those judgments which are written in English.”

Karpal said Section 8 of the National Language Act states that all proceedings (other than the giving of evidence) in the Federal Court, Court of Appeal, the High Court or any subordinate court shall be in the national language.

“This provision also applies to judges, as this does not provide them with the exception of writing judgments in English,” he said.

Section 8 also says the court may either of its own motion or on the application of any party to any proceedings - and after considering the interests of justice in those proceedings - order that the proceedings (other than the giving of evidence by a witness) shall be partly in the national language and partly in the English language.

The lawyer was attempting to turn the tables on Court of Appeal judge, Justice Abdul Malik Ishak, who in dismissing Anwar's appeal, had said all court documents must be in the national language because the supremacy of Bahasa Malaysia is enshrined in the federal constitution.

Justice Malik, who ironically wrote the judgment in English, said Article 152 of the constitution, read together with the National Language Act, states that all proceedings other than the giving of evidence shall be in the national language.

A summary on our sick court system as told by a Queen's Counsel

This link here is a summary of how the BN govt has been using and is still using the courts to get rid of people they don't like!

This is told by a neutral party from another country with no political ties!

It is scary! But all Malaysian should know!

Why Anwar must go to Jail!

The simply is because Najib cannot afford for him not to. Let me explain!

As far back as I can remember, UMNO and BN have always had 1 main strategy and that tactic is basically to attack and to discredit the opposition. BN will use its main stream media to tell the rakyat that the opposition are incompetent and that they have no experience running the country. UMNO propaganda is to convince the rakyat that if the opposition rule the country, there will be chaos. They will further add that BN will rule the federal govt anyway and if you vote for them at least your area will get some development and projects heading your way. (If you want prove of this just look at how BN campaign in the last few by-election)

This strategy of theirs has not and will not change anytime soon! Why? This is basically because they have no better strategy. Which is easier to do right now?
Win back to hearts and trust of the rakyat? Or discredit the opposition so that the rakyat will feel that they have no better option?

UMNO and BN strategy is very clear! They are not concern about winning back the favour of the rakyat and frankly speaking, I think they don’t even care! So the easiest thing to do is to dishearten the rakyat and to make sure there is no viable alternative for the rakyat to choose (come the next GE).

The best way to do this is to break up the opposition’s coalition. Just take a look at their recently strategy. UMNO propaganda machinery (also known as MSM) will tell the Malays that DAP is controlling PAS and that they will lose their Bumiputera’s privileges if they support Pakatan Rakyat.

UMNO will then get its other BN’s component party to scare the non-Malays that if they support PKR, then PAS will be extremist and that the country will become and Islamic State with Hudud Laws. The ironic thing is that, while running this racist hate campaign, they (through their UMNO control newspaper) are accusing the opposition of stirring up racial and religious sensitivity!

Why are they doing this? It is obvious! They are trying to get supporters from DAP and PAS to fight each other and to break up PKR! UMNO believes that right now, what is holding PKR together is Anwar Ibrahim and Keadilan.

UMNO’s mentality is to take Anwar Ibrahim out of the picture with the hope that Keadillan will break apart. And once Keadillan are in disarray, so will PKR! And if PKR are in disarray, UMNO will tell the rakyat that, PKR are incapable of forming a viable government and better choose a strong and experience government so that the country can enjoy economic stability.

So what can we the normal rakyat do?
Well the first thing we must NOT do is to play into the hand of BN and UMNO! When the police do catch Anwar and throw him in jail, the rakyat must practice restrain. In fact in all the various provocation that UMNO is currently orchestrating, we must practice restrain. Here I must thank and comment the various Indian groups for their calm and restrain respond to the recent Cow Head incident. I think UMNO must have very frustrated that they did not get the response they wanted from the Indian community.

Why does UMNO want to create this tense situation?
It is simply because they need to scare the rakyat into believing that ISA is still useful today! They need a blanket reason to throw their political opponents into ISA and to tell the rakyat that it is the opposition that is causing the chaotic situation. Without chaos like May 13, it will be very hard to justify their actions. If there is a riot with bloodshed, then it is easier to scare the rakyat into believing that the cost of freedom of speech and assembly is a small price to pay for peace. Thus we must make sure that we do not over react to all of UMNO’s provocation!

The second thing we must do is to make sure we VOTE! This is the only way we can really voice our frustration and anger at the present government. And we must be resolute and vote smart! We must make sure no matter where the candidate is from; UMNO, MCA, MIC or even PBS. As long as they are from BN, we must make sure we do not vote for them in any by-election as well as the next GE. We must vote for the opposition at all cost. Even if PKR decide to up a Cow’s Head as their candidate, we must vote for them. We the rakyat must also be weary of “independent candidate” that the BN will plant in some areas to split the opposition’s vote. This has been a very effective strategy use by BN in the past. (The recent MIC AGM is prove of this.)

Not only that, we must make sure we give a full and convincing mandate to PAS, DAP and Keadilllan. This is because all Malaysians knows that, short of a convincing mandate from the rakyat, UMNO with its seemingly endless supply of money will use every dirty trick in the books to entice the various MPs and Assemblymen from PKR to jump ship. You need to look no further than Perak and Sabah for prove of this!

And so if you the rakyat are angry that cow head demonstrating racist can get an appointment with the Home Minister while peaceful demonstration with candles and roses are arrested immediately. If you the rakyat and dumbfounded for the various recent court rulings. If you are wondering why the two Perak frogs facing corruption charges is still being delayed till today?

If we Malaysian want to see the repeal of the ISA,
if we want to see reforms in the Judiciary and the Govt Institutions such as MCMC , MACC, PDRM,
If we want to see justice for RPK, Anwar, Kugan, P.I. Bala, Sujatha, Teoh Beng Hock, Elizabeth Wong,
if we want to see greater freedom of press and assembly,
if we want to see the people responsible for the Lingam case, PKFZ, Penan rape case brought to justice,
if we want to show our displeasure at how BN had robbed our democratic choice in Perak,
then we the rakyat must remember all this injustice and vote in the next GE to ensure BN and its leaders like Taib Mahmud, Khir Toyo, Hishammuddin, Najib and even Samy Vellu does not come back to power!

WITH OR WITHOUT ANWAR IBRAHIM!

JUDICIAL CRIMES AND THE POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF ANWAR

Best RPK Article Yet! ~ A Must Read!

I know RPK article gets a lot of coverage but I just have to highlight this article (especially) cause it made me laugh so hard I almost cried!!

You have to respect this guy! This is a guy on the run from the Police but yet has the guts to turn around and mock them!! HAhahahahaha!! I bet the boys in blue are piss of like crazy reading this article!

The Special Branch wanted to know how much of these tactics were being used to enable Anwar to communicate with the outside world and thereby organise his Reformasi Movement and other political activities from behind the high walls of the Sungai Buloh Prison.

NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin

When I was about 11 or 12 years old, I was made to sit for an IQ test. I just enjoyed these tests because I had already done many before that. You see, my parents subscribed me to the Junior Readers Digest and every month, whenever I received my copies, I would relish reading them from cover to cover. One of my favourite chapters was the one on IQ tests. My favourite question was the one about the bridge closing at 7.00pm and a guard being placed in the middle of the bridge to prevent anyone from crossing it. Those on the left bank would not be allowed to cross over to the right bank and vice versa. The question was: you arrived at the bridge at 11.00pm and found the guard asleep in the middle of the bridge. If you crossed the bridge the guard would wake up and catch you trying to cross and will force you to go back the way you came. So how are you going to cross the bridge to get home?

Hmm….this was one tricky question.
I pondered for a while and my reply was I would quietly creep across the bridge and just before I reached the guard I would turn around and walk back the way I came. I would then make a lot of noise, which would wake the guard up. The guard, seeing that I was trying to sneak across the bridge, would chase me and catch me and force me to return to the opposite direction. And the opposite direction is where I actually wanted to go in the first place.So that would be how I would get to cross the bridge and go home. But this would mean the guard would have to be not too bright and can be easily fooled. He sees you heading back from where you came and he would think that you came from the other direction. So he would force you back to the opposite direction, thinking this is where you came from rather than this is where you actually wanted to go in the first place.

Confusing?
Not really. All you need to do is to create the impression that you are coming from one direction whereas you are actually coming from the opposite direction. And when they force you to return to the direction they thought you were coming from, you end up, with their help, heading for the direction you really wanted to go.

And this is the cat and mouse game that one has to play with the officers in blue from the Royal Malaysian Police.
The officers in the Malaysian police force rejoice when they think they have got you covered and have figured out your every move. They monitor your movements, your phone calls, those of your friends, and whatnot. If they don’t get what they want they will dig deeper. And maybe, in the end, they will find what they want to know. So you need to give them something to work on. Let them think they have got you, whereas it is you who have got them.

For example, on 10 April 2001, the police picked up four people under the Internal Security Act -- Tian Chua, Saari Sungib, Hishamuddin Rais and Ezam Mohd Nor. The police had been following me for three days and I knew I was also about to be picked up.I got into my car and with my wife driving we went to our daughter’s apartment. My wife noticed we were being followed. That evening, my wife went out to buy some ice cream and she saw a bunch of police officers loitering at the entrance. She knew they were waiting for me.The next morning, we left the apartment, and about one kilometre down the road, they stopped our car and took me in. I could have sneaked out the back and would have been able to give them the slip, but it was crucial that we find out what their game plan was.

To cut a long 54-day story short, Anwar was facing nine criminal charges and was already convicted for the first and was facing trial for the second. He was eventually found guilty for both and his jail sentences were made to run consecutive rather than concurrent. The first conviction attracted a six-year jail sentence and the second nine years. Together with the seven months remand period during the trial, Anwar was given a 15 years and seven months jail sentence. And he still had seven more trials to go through.Anwar was probably going to be in jail for at least 100 years, which meant he was going to die in jail.

My interrogation took 54 days and my signed ‘confession’ was more than 200 pages. There was a lot they asked me and a lot I told them. The most crucial piece of information they wanted was how did Anwar manage to run the Reformasi Movement from behind the high walls of the Sungai Buloh Prison? They knew the Reformasi Movement was being guided and run by Anwar. They just did not know how it was being done.I was posed this question and I spilled the beans. I could not hold anything back.

The information just flowed.
We meet Anwar in court during his many trials and that is when he dishes out his instructions. In fact, not only the Reformasi Movement, but also the party itself is run in this manner. We look forward to his trial dates because that is when we are able to meet Anwar and receive instructions from him. Three days later, the Special Branch officers came to see me, bringing a copy of a newspaper. “Read this,” they told me. It was the newspaper headline about the government dropping the balance seven charges against Anwar.“So, now there are no more trials. Anwar will no longer be going to court. So how are you people going to meet him now?”“Aiyah,” I said, with a very disappointed and dejected look on my face. “Now the link to Anwar has been severed. There would be no way we can continue meeting him to get further instructions from him.”I sat back and looked my Special Branch officers in the face. They had this very pleased look, as it they had pulled off the coup of the century.

These are five very happy Special Branch officers.
They even offered me a cigarette and ordered some Kentucky Fried Chicken for my lunch. They had broken the link of communication between Anwar and the outside world. That is the end of Anwar’s communication network.The Special Branch officers were probably made to sit for a course where they studied how Chin Peng communicated with his guerrillas in the Pahang, Perak and Kelantan jungles, plus those along the Malaysian-Thai border. I, in fact, discussed this with them and knew of the ‘dead letter boxes’ and all such primitive communication methods of 50 years or so ago.The Special Branch knew that I knew. And I knew that the Special Branch knew that I knew. So they wanted to know how much of these tactics were being used to enable Anwar to communicate with the outside world and thereby organise his Reformasi Movement and other political activities. Well, I could not hold anything back. I spilled my guts out and told them everything.

And the result of that was they dropped the balance seven charges against Anwar so that he can be cut off from the outside world and can no longer direct things from behind the high walls of the Sungai Buloh Prison.

But that was not really how it was done.
And of course I can’t tell you how it was done in case we need to do it again. But what matters is that they believed this was how it was done and they dropped the seven charges against Anwar to ‘plug the holes’.They were one happy bunch of Special Branch officers the day they broke the news to me that they had dropped the balance seven charges against Anwar. And I had to pretend I was so disappointed and unhappy that they had outsmarted us.

Yes, I bet those Special Branch officers did not have to sit for IQ tests when they were 11 or 12 years old.
If not they would have had to figure out how to cross the bridge after 7.00pm when the guard is sitting right in the middle of the bridge to stop anyone from crossing. And then they would have figured out you need to fool the guard by pretending that you are crossing from one direction whereas you are actually crossing from the opposite direction. Then they would have known that, if you can successfully fool the guard, he would actually assist you to cross to the side, where you actually wanted to go.

Yes, there is more I want to reveal. But let this suffice for today. In the next article we shall talk more about how to play cat and mouse games with the Malaysian police. No, nothing that has happened thus far is anything we did not want to happen. They think they have us on the run. They think they have sent us underground. Is that so? Lt Col George Armstrong Custer also thought he had the Indians on the run. By the time he realised it was the other way around, it was too late. Little Bighorn was Custer’s last stand and where the Seventh Calvary met its doom. More later, and stay safe till then.

Why Anwar had to give a dead line for the cross over!

A lot of people are saying that Anwar was a liar and that he did not furfill his promise for the cross over.

Why did he had to put a deadline saying the cross over would happen?!?
Below is the best illustration I can give you on why he did what he did!

BUSINESS LOGICS

Father: I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Son: 'I will choose my own bride!'
Father: 'But the girl is Bill Gates's daughter.'
Son: 'Well, in that case...ok'
Next Father approaches Bill Gates.
Father: 'I have a husband for your daughter.'
Bill Gates: 'But my daughter is too young to marry!'
Father: 'But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank.'
Bill Gates: 'Ah, in that case...ok'
Finally Father goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Father: 'I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president.'
President: 'But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!'
Father: 'But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law.'
President: 'Ah, in that case...ok

This is how politics are done!!

Anwar knows that if he does not push for change while UMNO is weak, he might not get a second chance when UMNO regroup in 3 years time!

Strike when the iron is hot!

You would have done the same thing as well if you were smart!

If you wonder what happen to Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid (the Dr who examined Mohd Saiful just hours before he lodged a police report)

As reported in Malaysiakini,

Doc stands by 'no sodomy' findings

The Pusrawi Hospital doctor, Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid, who examined Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan just hours before he lodged a police report stood by his findings in a statutory declaration.

On June 28, Saiful first visited the Pusrawi Hospital and later Hospital Kuala Lumpur before filing a police report accusing PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim of sodomising him.In the Pusrawi medical report - which was leaked to the media - it is stated that the examining physician found no evidence of sodomy.
"For the record, however, I would like to confirm that I strongly stand firm on my findings," said Mohd Osman in the Aug 1 statutory declaration that was made available to Malaysiakini.Mohd Osman also claimed that additional paragraphs and words were added to his police statement.Previously, Hospital Pusrawi stated that Mohd Osman, a medical officer, had not carried out a sodomy-related examination on Saiful - as it would require a gut specialist. ‘I did not leak report’ In his six-page statutory declaration, Mohd Osman laid out his medical credentials of 30 years and described how he first encountered Saiful. [See statutory declaration in full]
“He was initially attended to by another female doctor but subsequently referred to me as the patient requested to be examined by a male doctor. “Through my experience, I have encountered many similar complaints and I therefore proceeded with the appropriate examination on the patient,” said the doctor. He proceeded to conduct a rectal examination and recording his findings in Pusrawi Hospital’s “standard medical examination folder”.The following widespread circulation of the report in verbatim - in the press and the Internet - shocked Mohd Osman.He said that he only knew of the leaked medical report after he had gone on leave. According to hospital authorities, Mohd Osman has been on leave since mid-July.“I would like also to stress that I have no knowledge of the person responsible for leaking the report to any third party.” Police recorded statements twiceIn his statutory declaration, Mohd Osman also recounted three visits by two police officers from two different police districts - to record his statement. He said that in July 2008, his statement was recorded by one ASP Rosmi Mat Derus from the Brickfields criminal investigation department (CID). Mohd Osman explained that ASP Rosmi wrote down about nine or 10 pages of statements in Bahasa Malaysia and produced a printed copy the following week for his signature.The doctor, who is from Burma, admitted he did not understand most of what was written in the statement as he is not proficient in Bahasa Malaysia. When confronted with the printed copy, Mohd Osman had to make amendments with the policeman’s assistance. “I also pointed out to him that certain facts which has not been discussed in the previous meeting were introduced in the typed statements. “The facts I queried was why the name of Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim appeared in several paragraphs when it was never brought up during the first interview, neither did the patient ever confide in me the identity of the alleged perpetrator. “He (ASP Rosmi) replied that Anwar is the accused and I already by then knew Anwar was the accused after reading the newspaper,” he added. Mohd Osman said that he had hesitated to sign the printed statement, but had done so “as I did not want to have any issues with the police”. Left country with familyMohd Osman described that a week later, one DSP Choo from the Dang Wangi CID also recorded his statement. “She asked me to explain, all over again, and I complied by explaining everything that I knew in detail the whole procedures in relations to the examination on the patient,” he said. “At the onset of the interview, she impressed upon me that I will be charged if I refuse to cooperate with the police. “The seemingly constant and unending police investigation and being aware of the high-profile nature of the case has disturbed me tremendously and I become worried for my safety and that of my family. “Approximately one week after the third visit by the police, I decided to apply for leave and left Malaysia with my family,” he said. He was scheduled to resume his duties at Pusrawi Hospital on Aug 1 - incidentally the day he signed the statutory declaration - but cannot be contacted and has gone missing.“I think he is afraid to return to duty,” said Pusrawi Hospital medical director Dr Kamaruddin Ahmad, according to mStar online yesterday.

MORE STUPID COMMENTS

What I read in the news today really shock me at how uneducated our country's leaders can get!

1. Malaysia Today reported that, Senator Datuk Abdul Rahman Bakar called on the government to send a second astronaut to space after the success of the first one. He said "To put a stop on the space mission is akin to putting a stop on a child's greatest dream of becoming an astronaut,"


Hahahahahaha!!! What success?!?! What was the results of the first one! Our country's rakyat are struggling with everyday life and he is talking about a child's dream!!!
What a childish comment!

2. Malaysiakini's readers respond to our PM's comments (that the DNA taken 10 years ago was too old) was great and classic!! Everybody should go read it!! This article is free and does not need password!

3. Finally the DUMBEST most STUPID and IDIOTIC comment made today goes to...........


former menteri besar and Umno supreme council member Dr Mohd Khir Toyo.
He said that PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim had used his influence in PAS to derail the possibility of Umno and the Islamic party forming a joint government to rule Selangor in the wake of the March 8 polls.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Would they have even contact PAS if Mr Khir Toyo had not lost soooooo badly in the 2008GE?????

He also said that Umno and PAS could form a synthesis in championing Malay interests in the state which fell into opposition control.
but 'Anwar blocked it'

Mr Khir Toyo!! Don't try and con us lah! You are not interested in championing Malay interests!

You are only interested in saving your own backside!!! and just because the PAS people are not that dumb to fall for your stupid scam you blame Anwar for it!!!

Mr Khir Toyo also added that...
Anwar does not want to see Malays unite and that is why he formed Pakatan that thrives on the ideals of equality to the extent of elevating other religions on the same par as the primary religion in this country, Islam,"
Khir said this was proven by the fact that Anwar was being supported by 'extremist' Chinese and Indians via opposition party DAP and the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf).

DAP members are extremist?!?! Then what do you call kris waving UMNO members?!?! Conservative ah!?!?!

Sometimes I wonder if this guy has a filter between his mouth and "@S"!

Arresting Anwar - BN scores own goal (AGAIN!!)

I really enjoyed this article in Malaysiakini today...thought I share it with my friends!

Ong Kian Ming and Oon Yeoh Jul 17, 08 3:13pm

Barisan Nasional has a knack of scoring own goals. If there was an anti-Sun Tzu handbook on how to advantage your enemies, many of the BN's plays would be in there. The latest own goal scored is the decision to arrest de facto PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim.

Perhaps it is BN's penchant for scoring own goals which is one reason why Anwar is trying to topple the government sooner rather than later. Yesterday, we had discussed how Anwar might have overstretched himself in his quest to take over power.In a way, it was not that surprising that Anwar has chosen to try to form the next government as quickly as possible. If we put ourselves in his shoes, the political calculations become more apparent. He has to strike while the iron is hot.If Anwar were to wait patiently for the next general election to come around and try to win power through that channel, he would have to wait another four years or so, depending on what transpires within Umno in the interim.

The BN, as well as the opposition, were surprised by the electoral outcome in this year's election. Everyone expected the BN to lose perhaps as many as 40 seats but not 82. As such, the full weight of the state was not used in the run-up to the elections.There is no guarantee that the BN will not do everything in its powers – including using all sorts of dirty tactics – in the next elections to win back a two-thirds majority and the states of Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor.Anwar is well aware of this possibility, having witnessed or perhaps even overseen some of these acts himself while in the BN.

Fortune favours the bold. Right now, Umno is in a precariously weak position. Its president is an ineffectual leader who just oversaw the worst electoral result in BN's history and still refuses to step down. His deputy, who is also his greatest political rival, has been politically neutralised with a scandal hanging over him. Furthermore, the current state of voter disenchantment with the government is still running high, especially after the recent petrol hikes. The government is also scoring one own goal after another.Why not take advantage of the current situation and try to topple the government? There is no guarantee that these favourable factors will still be present in four years' time.

It has been said that 'fortune favours the bold'. Anwar has certainly been 'lucky' in his bold attempt to take down the government. The BN itself is guilty of providing Anwar with additional political momentum each time he has faltered.They failed to call his bluff that he had enough crossover MPs to form the next government when they refused to allow the debate on the motion of no-confidence in Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to take place.If they had allowed this, although it would set a precedence of allowing the opposition to successfully table a motion, it would force Anwar to show his cards, so to speak. Does he or does he not have the numbers?

If Anwar indeed had 30 MPs in his pocket, why did none of them stand up to support this motion? Instead, the BN chickened out, giving people the impression that they were scared of Anwar.Cops need Chua Soi Lek-type tapeThere are more examples from recent events. The massive roadblocks that they set up on the day the motion was supposed to be debated is clearly an own goal. The ensuing traffic jams – which stretched from Kuala Lumpur all the way to Shah Alam only served to further fuel public anger against the government. Nobody blames Pakatan Rakyat for this. When the drivers stuck in a jam on the Federal Highway, they don't see opposition supporters on the roads. They see policemen inconveniencing them for no particular reason.

Then of course, there is the latest and stupidest own goal: Arresting Anwar. This is the best way to generate sympathy and headlines for Anwar domestically as well as internationally.The manner in which the police went about this investigation was an overkill to say the least. From going to his house with more than 10 policemen just to pass Anwar a court order, to interrogating him for six hours, to requiring him to go for a medical check-up, to detaining him overnight – all these are actions reminiscent of 1998. Even if the police believe that Anwar is guilty of the sodomy allegations, they must know that without a smoking gun, whatever evidence they think that they have against him will not be deemed credible in the public's eye.

Circumstantial evidence may sometimes be enough to convict someone in court but in the court of public opinion, nothing less than a Chua Soi Lek-type videotape will do.Make no mistake, this is not any normal criminal investigation.The political leaders within BN and Umno must realise the high political costs of going after Anwar like this without incontrovertible proof. But perhaps not knowing any other way - except how to use the blunt instruments of state power - the BN has once again scored another brilliant own goal.

Police ask Anwar to show up at 2pm but arrest him at 12.55pm. WHY???

Look at the manner in which the Malaysian police conducted themselves!


According to Malaysiakini... Anwar was arrested and driven away in a 4WD vehicle with tinted windows, escorted by a convoy of 15 patrol cars.



There were also members of a special team from the serious crime division - sporting balaclavas and leather jackets - were also involved in the operation.

Balaclavas

15 PETROL CARS?!?! SERIOUS CRIME DIVISION?!? BALACLAVAS?!?!
Hahahahahaha!!!! The Police are so scared of Anwar ah?!?! Is sodomy a serious crime??

DOES ANWAR HAVE AN ARMY WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT?!?

Anwar's Army! Muahahahaha!!

AND WHY DID THE POLICE NOT KEEP THEIR WORD FOR ANWAR's 2pm APPOINTMENT?

StarOnline reported that Federal CID director Comm Datuk Bakri Zinin (pic) said that
"He (Anwar) was arrested as we had reason to believe he was not going to show up,"

SO WHY CAN'T THEY WAiTED ANOTHER 60MINS BEFORE GOING TO ARREST ANWAR?
POLICE TOO FREE AH?!?
SO MUCH PETROL AH!! UNTIL CAN SEND 15 PETROL CARS TO GET 1 MAN!!!!

Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh, deputy home minister (pic) said (in Malaysiakini...)
"Even if the arrest was 20 or 30 minutes earlier than expected, what's the difference?"

IN THAT CASE WHY NOT ARREST HIM AT 2.30PM?!?!?! AT LEAST THEN YOU CAN SAY THAT HE (ANWAR) DID NOT SHOW UP AT THE APPOINTED TIME!!

Also reported in Malaysiakini.... Anwar's lawyer N Sankara Nair (pic) said that the police officers did not serve any warrant when arresting Anwar near his house in Segambut Dalam.


WHY DID THE POLICE NOT SERVE ANY WARRANT WHEN ARRESTING ANWAR??

According to Malaysiakini.... Anwar is to be charged under Section 377C of the Penal Code which relates to 'carnal intercourse against the order of nature'.

A recent amendment to the provision reads: 'Any person who has sexual connection with another person by the introduction of any object into the vagina or anus of the other person shall be punished with imprisonment or a term which may extend to 20 years and shall also be liable to whipping.'

SH!T MAN!! Is a finger consider an "object"?!?!
I bet you most ppl put their fingers into some type of hole during or before sex!
In which case we might as well sent 15 petrol cars to catch all the Malaysian who "finger" their wife during sex!!! Muaahahahahah!!!!!

DOES THIS LAW APPLY TO MUSLIM ONLY OR DOES IT ALSO APPLY TO NONMUSLIM AS WELL?!?

Good thing there is the word "SEXUAL CONNECTION" in the Penal Code or else Doctors and Nurses will all be in jail!!


Also in Malaysiakini......Ismail told AFP...
"He is not being charged with anything yet, don't jump to conclusions,"

Police can detain him for 24 hours after which they must apply for a court order that would allow them to keep him for up to 14 days without charge.

Let see if they follow the law themselves of not!

WATCH OUT!!
PKR said it would ensure that the gathering outside police headquarters remained calm as there were concerns the government was planning to launch a crackdown including further arrests of opposition leaders.

"There's a possibility that they would like to provoke so they can justify a much wider crackdown against the democratic movement in Malaysia," party's information chief Tian Chua told AFP.
