The BSA Tahir and PI Bala sagas (UPDATED with Chinese Translation)


Do I detect some reluctance on the part of the MACC? Is the MACC trying to avoid meeting Bala? Why is the MACC so scared of meeting Bala? What is it that Bala is going to say that has put the fear of God in the MACC?

Shareholder dispute revives Scomi past
Leslie Lopez, The Straits Times

A YET-TO-BE publicised shareholder dispute involving the son of former prime minister Abdullah Badawi is likely to renew debate over Malaysia's role in the clandestine trade of sensitive military technology.
Sri Lankan businessman Buhary Syed Abu Tahir has gone to the High Court to claim RM75 million (S$31 million) from the former premier's son, Mr Kamaluddin Abdullah, and another businessman, Mr Shah Hakim Shahzanim Zain.

In the suit filed by his wife late last year, Mr Tahir is demanding what he claims is money owed to him for his equity interest in engineering company, Scomi Group, lawyers familiar with the case told The Straits Times.

You can read the entire report below.

What I want to reveal here is that when I was in Kamunting for almost two months from September to November 2008, I did some probing. You know me: I love probing -- as long as it is not the butt of a Havana Club hostess. Anyway, what I discovered in my probe is most interesting indeed.

I found out that Buhary Syed Abu Tahir a.k.a BSA Tahir did not spend his entire time in Kamunting. They did send him there when they first detained him under the Internal Security Act (ISA) but a short while later they came back for him and he ‘disappeared’.

Four years or so later, Tahir suddenly returned to Kamunting and a few days later he was released. Tahir is probably the first person in Malaysia to be detained under the ISA in Kamunting but not actually having to spend time in Kamunting.

I did more probing and discovered that during the time he ‘disappeared’ from Kamunting, Tahir was ‘detained’ in an exclusive condo in Bangsar. That was how he ‘suffered’ his four years detention.
The reason why Tahir was detained but not Kamal or Shah Hakim was never really explained other than the excuse that Tahir did things behind their backs which they were not aware of. Now it seems they were more than aware. They were in fact part of the ring.

Okay, while we wait for the Malaysian mainstream media to pick up this story (if they dare), let us move on to PI Bala. Bala is still awaiting the confirmation of the interview that the MACC wants to have with him. MACC, however, is yet to decide when and where they would like to meet Bala even after so many months.
Do I detect some reluctance on the part of the MACC? Is the MACC trying to avoid meeting Bala? Why is the MACC so scared of meeting Bala? What is it that Bala is going to say that has put the fear of God in the MACC?

I can almost hear the taunting in the background: yeh, yeh, MACC kecut!
