As long as U are connected to powerful people, U can get away with anything in Malaysia!

No! I am not talking about Abdul Razak Baginda and Najib with regards to the murder of Altuntuya case.

Today (as reported in Malaysiakini) is about our country's ambassador and a Minister's son!

1. Foreign Minister Anifah Aman has been a secret beneficiary of lucrative timber licences in Sabah thanks to his elder brother, Chief Minister Musa Aman, said Sarawak Report.

The whistleblower website said it has in its possession leaked Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) documents showing its investigators had concluded that the Sabah chief minister had corruptly issued timber licences to his brother worth tens of millions of ringgit.

According to Sarawak Report, the documents form part of a major investigation by the MACC into timber corruption after an agent and nominee for Musa Aman, Michael Chia, was caught attempting to smuggle RM16 million out of Hong Kong in 2008.

“However, the investigation has been blocked at the highest levels and its findings kept secret, until now.

“Our informants say that the brothers’ relative and fellow Sabahan, attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail, has refused to allow charges to be brought and PM Najib Razak has scandalously turned a blind eye to the affair.”

Sarawak Report claimed that Abdul Gani (right), who is closely connected to the Aman family, has refused to pursue the case.

“Indeed the attorney-general has forced the MACC to shelve its entire investigation in Sabah, which was one of the largest and most extensive ever undertaken by that body, and involved sums amounting to billions of ringgit siphoned out of the state by corruption at the highest level.”

Last week, MACC deputy commissioner (operations) Mohd Shukri Abdull lamented that Attorney-General's Chambers had refused to bring many “valid cases” the commission had investigated to court due to “insufficient evidence”.

2. Brickfields police have in their possession the closed-circuit television recording of the "affray" involving the son of a cabinet minister, his bodyguard and a security guard supervisor at a posh condominium in Kuala Lumpur last month.

Sources revealed that the CCTV recording involving Mohamad Nedim (right), a son of Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nazri Abdul Aziz, Nedim's bodyguard and the security supervisor was now in the possession of the investigating officer.

People familiar with the matter also confirmed withMalaysiakini that the case was still being investigated despite earlier claims by the Brickfields OCPD (Officer in Charge of Police District) that it had been wrapped up.

Sources familiar with the incident said the police were surprised to find in the video footage that "more than two persons", including Nedim, were involved in holding and assaulting the 50-year-old security supervisor.

This may create complications in the police's classification of the case as a minor offence - ‘causing affray' under section 160 of the Penal Code.

Under this section, anyone found guilty faces a punishment of up to six months' jail or a fine of RM1,000, or both.

Malaysiakini reported on March 23 that the security supervisor of the high-end condominium in Mont Kiara was allegedly assaultedby Nedim and his bodyguard.

Nedim drove a Porsche sports car to the condominium, followed by a luxury MPV driven by his bodyguard.

The bodyguard alighted from his car to have personal particulars recorded on behalf of both drivers, but the condominium guards insisted that they did so separately.

An argument ensued, resulting in the supervisor being called in to mediate.

Argument and fracas at condo entrance

The bodyguard claimed that the person in the Porsche was a 'Tengku' (a member of the royalty), but the supervisor explained that condo management required the registration of drivers of all vehicles entering the compound.

This resulted in the VIP's son alighting from his Porsche, while the bodyguard and his friends assaulted the 50-year-old security supervisor, according to sources who had viewed the video footage. It is learnt that Nazri's son also struck the supervisor.

A police report was subsequently made by the supervisor, who was slightly injured during the altercation.

Mohamad Nedim's bodyguard had lodged a counter police report alleging that the security supervisor was rude and started the fracas.

A day after Malaysiakini reported the incident, Brickfields OCPD Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid denied that Nazri's son was involved in the fist-fight, with The Star quoting him as saying that the case involved just the bodyguard and a security guard.

Wan Abdul Bari also said then that the police have already completed their probe into the matter and that the investigation papers were sent to the Attorney-General's Chambers on whether charges would be laid.

PKR vice-president N Surendran and Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin had urged the police to conduct an independent and impartial investigation into the case.

Shamsul Iskandar went further to claim that Nedim was also allegedly involved in an incident resulting in the death of a young man, Darren Kang, in 2004.

Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo has also called on Nazri to cease issuing any statement on matters pertaining to the law, especially if it involved the attorney-general or the AG's Chambers.

"It could be interpreted as a clear case of conflict," said Gobind, who is DAP legal bureau chairperson.

One Crook let's off 3 crooks! AG favourite words "No further Action!"

Why is this not highlighted in the news earlier until the opposition MP ask about it!

Three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officers implicated by the Teoh Beng Hock royal commission of inquiry have been cleared of wrongdoing.

In a Parliamentary written reply, de facto Law Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz said the trio have been cleared by the Attorney-General's Chambers.

"Thus, no action will be taken against the three officers," he said.

Nazri was responding to a question by Gopeng MP Dr Lee Boon Chye, who asked the government to specify what kind of action has been taken against the trio.

The three-member RCI led by former Court of Appeal judge Steve Shim had found the three MACC officers' aggressive interogation tactics have contributed to Teoh's suicide on July 16, 2009.

The trio are then-Selangor MACC deputy director Hishammuddin Hashim, assistant enforcement office Arman Alies and assistant superintendent Mohd Ashraf Mohd Yunus.

They were suspended in July last year pending investigations. Hishamuddin has since been promoted to Negeri Sembilan MACC director while the current status of Arman and Mohd Ashraf is unknown.

Mere disciplinary infraction

In the final RCI report recommended MACC to take action against the trio, whom they described as Arman "the bully", Mohd Ashraf "the abuser" and Hishammuddin "the arrogant leader".

Nazri said that the Attorney-General's Chambers have examined statements presented by the police who investigated the three based on evidence adduced during the inquest and RCI.

Following this, the Attorney-General's Chambers found that the trio did not commit a crime based on Penal Code or the MACC Act 2009.

He added that the MACC's special investigation team had also cleared the trio of violating the Civil Service Regulations (Behaviour and Disciplinary) 1993, MACC Act 2009 and the commission's internal rules.

"Based on this investigation, it was condluded that only one disciplinary charge can be made against (the trio) - a charge of failing to supervise the witness being investigated," he said.

In a related development, Nazri was asked by Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching what was the result of investigations against the trio under Section 304A of the Penal Code (death caused by negligence) and Section 120A of the Penal Code (concealing a design to commit an offence).

In his written reply to Teo, Nazri said a police report based on the quoted laws have been made by Teoh’s sister.

“The investigation papers have been referred to the state prosecution chief and the Attorney-General’s Chambers for investigations and advice,” he said.

AG and the Prime Minister dept. answer is stupid and totally unacceptable! When you read about what this 3 did to TBH! One can help wonder if this is a case of one crooke helping another 3 crookes!

THE COPGATE SCANDAL!

A MALAYSIAKINI EXCLUSIVE Could underworld figures have influence over the promotion and transfer of police personnel when the force was under the leadership of inspector-general of police Musa Hassan?

In another bizarre twist to the ‘Copgate' scandal, new allegations that another shadowy figure identified as BK Tan - who was suspected to have links with Johor underworld figure Tengku Goh - had advised Musa on several occasions relating to the promotion and transfer of senior police officers.

Musa (far right), along with attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail and the then Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA), were earlier alleged to have framed rival top cop, former Commercial Crimes Investigation Department director Ramli Yusuff, and six of his men. The seven police officers were arrested and charged in court five years ago.

In the latest allegation, sources told Malaysiakini that Musa would call Tan for "advice" and at times the latter visited Musa's house in Petaling Jaya for discussions on key appointments and transfers in the police force.

According to the sources, Musa when asked had explained that Tan's participation came with the blessings of the then Internal Security Ministry because his underworld links would help identify the "good" from "bad" cops.

One source claimed that he had seen Musa's aide carrying a blue document containing the confidential list of officers to be transferred or promoted. Musa was alleged to have provided a copy of the top secret document to Tan.

Home Ministry informed

It is learnt that Musa's former aide de camp, ASP Noor Azizul Rahim Taharim, had brought this troubling matter to the attention of then minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Radzi Sheikh Ahmad and deputy internal security minister Johari Baharum.

Another informant told Malaysiakini that Tengku Goh, whose real name is Goh Cheng Poh, had met Musa at his hotel room in Johor Baru sometime in 2005 or 2006, and this was confirmed by Noor Azizul.

Musa was accused to have promoted officers who were loyal to him as well as those who tacitly support his close cooperation with the alleged underworld figures.

The line of succession was allegedly orchestrated to ensure Musa could continue his tenure as the country's police chief. Musa held the post for four years, from 2006 to 2010.

He was reported to have been upset when his term was not extended further, and at one time describing his potential successor, Ismail Omar, as not ready to occupy his seat.

Ramli (centre) told Malaysiakini yesterday that Musa's aide Noor Azizul had informed him about his boss' alleged underworld links.

"ASP Noor Azizul Rahim told me about this, and this confirmed my suspicion of Musa that he together with the AG was out to fix me. This was to ensure I would be eliminated from the police hierarchy," he said.

"All my fears and suspicions have been proven true by the flimsy charges laid against me. Musa even went to the extent of appearing as the 75th witness in my Sabah case.

"In the end, Musa was regarded an untruthful witness when he tried to contradict the evidence of all the other police witnesses," he said.

Ramli also recalled how Noor Azizul had met several senior police officers, including Musa's deputy Mohd Najib Abdul Aziz and two members of the Police Force Commission, for help but to no avail.

Following this, the frustrated Noor Azizul, who was Musa's personal aide from 2005 to 2007, made a statutory declaration on the matter sometime in 2009, said Ramli.

A copy of Noor Azizul's SD eventually found itself in the public domain, including blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin's Malaysia Today website.

In his SD, Noor Azizul said he was aware of the sworn declarations of several police officers and police informants and their actions in revealing Musa's links with Tengku Goh and Tan.

"Based on my personal knowledge and involvement as the ADC (aide de camp) to the IGP, I can confirm the statements made by these deponents concerning Musa are true and do correctly reflect the events as described by them...

"I have personal knowledge and involvement in that I was asked as ADC to compile and co- ordinate such posting orders based on the drafts and proposals made by Tan.

"A copy of the draft was subsequently implemented as police posting orders," he said in his statutory declaration.

Orders to frame police officers

Noor Azizul said the transfers were justified as part of a campaign to root out corruption in the force. It included entrapment to make the affected officers appear guilty of wrongdoings.

"This gave the impression that Musa was eradicating corruption and abuses within the force whereas it is the farthest from the truth.

"The credibility of these officers would be demolished to such an extent that whatever information they had gathered about the IGP would be discredited.

"These officers would suffer hardships, like being transferred away from their family and home base," he said.

"Some of the other agonies inflicted on them were being by-passed for promotions, subjected to disciplinary action minus due process; subordinates with unproven records promoted over them and victimised officers serving as visible warnings of the consequences of defying the 'established' order."

The former ADC said the ‘mencantas' (trimming the opposition) campaign had led to low moral in the force, resulting in the crime rate soaring during Musa's time.

"Not long after that the AG ordered Tengku Goh's release. Many in PDRM (Royal Malaysian Police) became demoralised seeing how a criminal was released by resorting to legal niceties whereas our own brother officers were dragged to court," he lamented.

"I hope the minister and the government give me protection for this disclosure as it is made with the hope of improving the force in expectation of a new leadership era under Ismail Omar (the present IGP)," he said in his SD.

Former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission panel member Robert Phang (left), when contacted by Malaysiakini, confirmed that Noor Azizul had approached him when he was Musa's aide de camp, and together they met a former IGP, seeking his help on the matter.

Noor Azizul ready to tell all

In 2009, Musa turned down a Malaysiakini request for a response to Noor Azizul's SD, and there has been no reply from him over the past few days in relation to this new allegation.

In recent weeks, Malaysiakini has managed to contact Noor Azizul, who is now attached to a ministry, to verify the contents of his SD, which he did.

But he declined to comment about the issue further, saying that he would prefer to testify before a tribunal should there be one.

Malaysiakini had reported that a number of former and serving police officers were willing to testify against Abdul Gani, Musa and the ACA if a tribunal was called.

The Copgate affair appears to be akin to the Lingam tape scandal where a senior lawyer was alleged to have brokered the appointment of judges. It resulted in the setting up of a royal commission of inquiry.

The new allegation made in the Copgate affair is no less damaging as it involves, among others, the claim of an underworld figure exerting influence over the promotion and transfer of police officers.

However, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had last Friday dismissed calls for a tribunal.

"This is an allegation which has to be substantiated," he said.

Other things that are unfair in Malaysia today!

1. AG still charging Kapal Singh with sedition over remarks involving the Perak Sultan

while they refuse to charge Kedai Rakyat 1 Malaysia for endangering the health of the normal rakyat with false information.

2. New salary scheme top-ranking government servants will be paid as much as RM80 000 a month while some drivers get just a RM1 70 increase in monthly wages earning.

AG expecting to get a big pay cheque for the great work he put in Anwar's case!

3. Teoh Beng Hock case vs NFC and Sharizat!

One was investigating corruption worth RM2400

The other was for RM300million!

One was investigated by top MACC officials and had all night interrogation!

The other had tip off that they are going to be raided! (even the news reporters were there first before the MACC officers arrive!)

Some corrupt UMNO people may have to find a new CASH COW to steal from but you can wait till the COWS COME HOME before we see any real justice here!!!

Why Malaysia can't extradite Raja Petra and etc.

Read a recent article from Malaysia Today. Check up some of the facts on internet. Thought most Malaysian should read this.

Tan Sri Abdul Gani bin Patail the current Attorney General of Malaysia with Tan Sri Musa Hassan the former Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police.

Gani Patail’s dilemma started back in 2009 when he discovered that I (RPK) was no longer in Malaysia. He tried to track me down and found out that I was in the UK (mainly because I was not in hiding but made many public appearances).

However, he tried to hide this fact from me and announced that they know I was in Australia. Actually, this was a red herring. They knew I was in the UK but they did not want me to know that they know.

But I knew that they knew. This was because they met up with the British authorities to discuss the possibility of extraditing me back to Malaysia. They told the British authorities that I was facing four charges, one for sedition and three for criminal defamation.

What Gani Patail did not know is that the British authorities contacted my lawyers to get more details about my cases. It seems they wanted to send a report to the Home Office in case the Malaysian government files an application to extradite me.

The British authorities reminded Gani Patail that there is no extradition treaty between the UK and Malaysia. Therefore, they can’t just pick me up and send me back to Malaysia. Malaysia would have to go to a UK court to apply to extradite me. This means a sort of trial would be held where Malaysia would have to convince the UK court of my guilt.

Now this would be a problem for Malaysia. Gani Patail would not be able to manipulate the British judiciary like he does in Malaysia. The evidence would have to be very strong for them to convince the UK court that I am guilty and therefore should be sent back to Malaysia.

An even bigger problem would be the dual criminality law. The crime I am alleged to have committed must also be a crime in the UK. For example, sodomy is not a crime in the UK (gay marriages are legal in the UK). So, in that type of situation, you cannot extradite someone charged with sodomy in Malaysia.

This all happened back in 2009, mind you.

While Gani Patail was figuring out what to do, on 1st January 2010, the UK Government suddenly repealed the sedition and criminal defamation laws. That means sedition and criminal defamation were no longer crimes in the UK. And that also means that since the dual criminality rule would apply, Malaysia could no longer extradite me.

I am sure the UK government did not repeal the sedition and criminal defamation laws just for my sake. Was it a mere coincidence then? Or is this what we can call divine intervention?

Anyway, that ended any possibility of the Malaysian government applying to extradite me back to Malaysia.

Yes, nothing seems to be working in Gani Patail’s favour and he can’t figure out why. He knows that I have moles in Bukit Aman and the A-G Chambers -- people who are feeding me information so that I am always one step ahead of the government. But after two years of trying, he still can’t figure out who they are. And this is really making him mad as hell.

Now I have moles in the Customs Department as well -- the result of what the MACC did to Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed. Who do you think leaked the documents regarding Rosmah Mansor’s USD24 million diamond ring? This was the Customs officers’ revenge for what they did to Ahmad Sarbaini.

In fact, Gani Patail has many other problems as well. He went for the ex-CCID Director, Ramli Yusuff. Ramli Yusuff was charged for all sorts of things. Then the court acquitted him without his defense being called, like what happened to my son. In fact, the Sabah court even said that the ex-IGP, Musa Hassan, lied.

Ramli Yusuff

That was a double whammy for the Gani-Musa team.

Then, coincidentally, or maybe through divine intervention, Ramli Yusuff was appointed the Deputy Chairman of Ho Hup. And, lo and behold, Ho Hup’s auditors discovered that the previous Chairman had bribed Gani Patail.

Now that is what I not only call divine intervention but poetic justice. Talk about bad karma. So Ramli Yusuff now has Gani Patail’s balls in his hands. And he is squeezing them so hard that Gani Patail can’t breathe properly.

Gani Patail is still trying to get Ramli Yusuff though. He is also trying to get Ramli Yusuff’s lawyer, Rosli Dahlan, as well. However, just like what happened to Ramli Yusuff, Rosli Dahlan was also acquitted of the charges they brought against him.

Not satisfied with that, Gani Patail asked his boys to appeal the court’s decision. But his boys realised that, just like in the case of Ramli Yusuff, they had no case against Rosli Dahlan. So they did nothing.

Unknown to Gani Patail, the time allowed to file an appeal had expired. When he found out that the deadline had come and gone, and the appeal against Rosli Dahlan’s acquittal had not been filed yet, he flipped.

Gani Patail has now written to the court to apply for an extension of time to file the appeal against Rosli Dahlan’s acquittal. By right, the date to file the appeal has expired. But Gani Patail is trying to bypass the rules so that he can still file the appeal even though the date has expired.

Sigh…poor Gani Patail. Nothing seems to be going his way. He is supposed to be God where even Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak is supposed to be scared of him. But everything he tries seem to have failed. Could there be an even greater God than Gani Patail who is intervening and thwarting all the AG’s plans and plots?

IS NAJIB AND THE GOVT NOT AWARE OF ALL THIS?!?!

WHY ARE THEY NOT DOING ANYTHING TO STOP THIS INJUSTICE?
