So there is more to the issue than what Malay Mail reported. Kadar Shah would not remain overseas just because someone broke into his house and gang-raped his maid. It is more than that. Let us just say Kadar Shah understood the message that was sent to him, the same message that was sent to PI Bala, which resulted in him doing a U-turn and going underground.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Below is a Malay Mail report dated 6 November 2009. It is about Datuk Kadar Shah’s divorce proceeding. The report also mentions that Kadar Shah is afraid to return to Malaysia. The judge, however, does not see any reason why he should be afraid to return to Malaysia. After all, it is his maid who was gang-raped, not him.
The reason is not, as the judge says, because Kadar Shah’s maid was gang-raped. It is also not because his house was broken into. It is not even because of the matter involving the Kelantan palace. It is because of what Malaysia Today revealed on 29 May 2009 in an article called Shafee Abdullah: caught with his pants down.
This is what I said in that article:
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.
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 heard 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.
So Kadar Shah is now a marked man. And he suspects that the robbery and gang-rape of his maid was not as ‘innocent’ as many may think. He is of the view that this is a message he is being sent that they can get to him easily enough if they want to.
Kadar Shah initially said he is prepared to come forward to testify during my trial if need be. And I told my lawyers this so that they could subpoena him. My lawyers told the court that six people would be subpoenaed to testify and they were in fact in the process of preparing the papers. So it is in the interest of certain parties that Kadar Shah stays out of the country and does not come home to Malaysia to reveal what he saw and heard in Shafee Abdullah’s office.
By the way, Shafee Abdullah is the same man who exchanged text messages with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak soon after Razak Baginda was arrested for Altantuya’s murder. When asked about the matter Najib did not deny the exchange of text messages and replied that it is a private matter between him and Shafee and of no concern to anyone else.
So there is more to the issue than what Malay Mail reported. Kadar Shah would not remain overseas just because someone broke into his house and gang-raped his maid. It is more than that. Let us just say Kadar Shah understood the message that was sent to him, the same message that was sent to PI Bala, which resulted in him doing a U-turn and going underground.
Anyway, we promised you more on the story about the Carpetman cum Bagman cum Toyboy of the so-called ‘First Lady of Malaysia’. Well, as promised, this week we shall reveal parts 2, 3, 4, and so on, of this story. So stay tuned because I am sure you want to hear about PI Bala’s little adventure that could easily be made into a Hollywood movie script…or should I say Bollywood movie script.
Where is PI Bala? Why did he retract his first Statutory Declaration? Is his first or his second Statutory Declaration the correct one? What happened to his family? Is Bala prepared to surface and reveal the truth? And what is the truth, the first Statutory Declaration or the second one?
Yes, these are the questions that require answers. And what role did the Carpetman cum Bagman cum Toyboy play in this entire thing?
That is what shall be revealed in the next few episodes of this series.

Kadar Shah fears for his life... but Syariah court judge says there is no reason for him to be afraid
Reena Raj, Malay Mail
DATUK Kadar Shah Sulaiman was again absent during the divorce proceedings at the Kuala Lumpur Syariah High Court yesterday.
His lawyer claimed this was due to him being afraid for his safety, after his house was broken into on June 21 and his maid was allegedly gang-raped.
In seeking to postpone hearings on the divorce proceedings brought by his wife, Kadar Shah’s lawyer Puteri Imee Megat Abdullah, said the Muar Umno division committee member had decided to stay overseas for the moment.
Syariah court judge, Mohd Shukor Sabudin, granted the postponement but warned that the last mention date would be on Nov 30 — since several postponements had been granted earlier, due to Kadar Shah’s absence.
“We will carry on with the case without Kadar Shah’s presence if he fails to turn up on Nov 30. The excuse of being worried for his safety is not acceptable. His maid was raped and not him. There is no reason for him to be in fear.”
Kadar Shah hit the limelight for having assisted in matters related to the “dramatic escape” of Manohara Odelia Pinot, the 17-year-old Indonesian wife from her Kelantan prince husband.
The ongoing divorce proceedings involve the issues of alimony, maintenance, return of debts as well as compensation by his wife.
His, wife, Datin Fauziah Haron, was present in court yesterday. Her lawyer, Kamar Ainiah Kamaruzaman, said Kadar Shah’s lawyer had informed her about his absence a day earlier.
It was reported that Kadar Shah and Fauziah were married in Jakarta in 1980 but their marriage was never registered in Malaysia. In 2002, matrimonial problems surfaced and Fauziah initiated divorce proceedings at the Shah Alam Syariah (Lower) Court in 2003.
The case was complicated as the courts had to first decide on the validity of their marriage. In November 2007, the Shah Alam court declared that their marriage was irregular as the parties were not able to produce a marriage document and they were also unable to produce witnesses to prove their marriage.
As the marriage was not a valid one, the court said there was no room for a divorce.
However, Fauziah pursued the matter and filed a case at the KL Syariah Court in July last year.
The couple have three children — two boys aged 28 and 25 and a 23-year-old daughter.
The marriage with Fauziah was said to be Kadar Shah’s second marriage. He had earlier been married to an Australian woman.
Fauziah is seeking:
1. Compensation for three months waiting period after divorce at RM20,000 a month for three months, totalling RM60,000.
2. Maintenance arrears at RM10,000 a month, totalling RM600,000.
3. A return of her money for the payment for her Mercedes Benz SLK that Kadar had stopped paying for, costing RM250,000.
4. A return of money made in 2003 under a loan agreement totalling RM1.8 million.
5. A lump sum Mutaah (alimony) of RM5 million.
6. Shares at Bredeno Shaw Sdn Bhd held by Kadar Shah that Fauziah seeks to be declared as matrimonial
property worth RM1.5 million.
7. A condominium unit in Genting Highlands.
8. A house in Shah Alam.
9. An apartment in Hawaii.
10. An apartment in California; and
11. Four cars — a Mercedes-Benz, a Porsche, a Ferrari and a Range Rover.
