Mat Zain claims defamation plot ahead of Anwar case

A prelude to Anwar Ibrahim's 'Sodomy II' trial The Malaysian Insider Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim,  the police officer who investigated Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's black-eye assault in 1998, today claimed a high-level plot using a bankruptcy notice to destroy his credibility ahead of several cases including the opposition leader's sodomy case in July. State news agency Bernama yesterday reported that Mat Zain was declared a bankrupt on April 21 for failing to settle a RM250,000 loan and was served with the notice on May 26. The news was carried by several Malaysian publications including The Malaysian Insider which subscribes to the Bernama service. "I say with certainty that there are very powerful hidden hands that wanted it so. Their reasons are to destroy my credibility and/or to paralyze my capabilities and preventing me from giving evidence against Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan for fabricating evidence in the "black-eye" case of 1998 involving Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim," said Mat Zain in a statement. Mat Zain, who went on optional retirement in 2001 as the KL CID chief, said he believed the bankruptcy notice is related to his appeal to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) advisory board to clear his name after the anti-graft agency cleared only Gani and Musa from charges of fabrication lodged by Anwar. "I have reasons to believe that the prosecution team anticipated that Anwar will certainly raise at certain point of his trial the issue of fabrication of evidence in the black-eye case. My evidence would be vital at this stage. Their only option is to destroy my credibility. "Though this publication may cause some inconvenience to me and my family, but I take it as a blessing and that it will only enhance my resolve to disclose the whole truth of the "black-eye" episode. "Believe me, that this is not the only case the duo had their fingers in. There are others which are as sensational. The truth shall prevail," Mat Zain said. He claimed that he investigated the black-eye incident without fear or favour and had his statement recorded five times by the precursor to MACC, the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) when Anwar lodged a report on July 1, 2008 that Gani, Musa, Mat Zain and Dr Abdul Rahman Yusof had falsified a medical report on the assault case. But MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan announced on March 3 that a three-member independent panel led by the Solicitor-General had scrutinised the investigation papers and cleared Gani and Musa of criminal wrongdoing, prompting Mat Zain to later appeal the findings. "However, I am justified to state that the Prime Minister was never told the true and entire facts of this issue. Should the truth be told, I believe the PM would have taken the appropriate actions," Mat Zain said. He disclosed that he has instructed his lawyers to look into the bankruptcy matter as he had never received any notice of a hearing related to a suit by businessman Yap Thoong Choan, 72, of Damansara Heights, filed on Aug 10, 2004, against Mat Zain at the Bandar Baru Bangi Sessions Court claiming the remaining RM250,000 of a loan which was not settled. He said in his statement of claim that Mat Zain, 60, had taken a RM500,000 loan via an agreement signed by both parties on Feb 22, 2002, and it was agreed that the loan was to be settled on or before Aug 21, 2002. Yap said that so far, Mat Zain had settled RM250,000 of the amount. A letter of demand for the remaining RM250,000, dated July 14, 2004, was sent to Mat Zain but he failed to pay up. The Shah Alam High Court on April 21 this year issued a bankruptcy notice on Mat Zain ordering him to pay the RM250,000 with interest and costs, bringing the total to RM288,824.92.

RPK : Rodwan met Saiful three days earlier

Who is Rodwan, other than the fact that he works for the IGP and is known as the police chief's bagman and go-between with the organised crime syndicate that controls all the drugs, prostitution, loan-sharking and gambling rackets? THE CORRIDORS OF POWER Raja Petra Kamarudin At 2.30pm on Wednesday, 25 June 2008, Senior Assistant Commissioner (SAC) II Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof met Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan in room 619 of the Concorde Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Prior to this secret meeting, Rodwan and Saiful spoke on the phone at least eight (8) times. Three days later, at 2.00pm on 28 June 2008, Saiful went to see Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid of the Hospital Pusrawi to 'complain' that he had been sodomised by 'a very important person' and that he wished to lodge a police report. The doctor, however, found no traces or evidence that he had been sodomised and suggested, for purposes of the police report, that Saiful go to a government hospital. Who is Rodwan, other than the fact that he works for the IGP and is known as the police chief's bagman and go-between with the organised crime syndicate that controls all the drugs, prostitution, loan-sharking and gambling rackets? Well, read the following archived reports to get a better understanding of this scumbag and slime-ball named Rodwan. Maybe then you can understand why he met Saiful in a hotel room three days before the sodomy allegation against Anwar Ibrahim exploded. ************************************************* Berita Harian Rabu, 30 Disember 1998 Seorang pakar forensik Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) memberitahu Mahkamah Tinggi di sini hari ini bahawa contoh darah Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim tidak boleh digunakan untuk ujian DNA kerana ia diambil dan disediakan bagi ujian HIV, Hepatitis B dan VD (penyakit kelamin). Dr Zahari Noor berkata, oleh kerana itu beliau menolak permintaan polis sebanyak dua kali supaya contoh darah itu digunakan untuk ujian DNA. Menurutnya, ketika di Ibu Pejabat Polis Bukit Aman pada 28 September lalu bagi mengambil darah Anwar, beliau ditanya oleh Asisten Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof sama ada ujian DNA boleh dilakukan terhadap Anwar. Katanya, beliau menasihatkan polis supaya tidak mengambil darah Anwar untuk ujian DNA kerana Anwar hanya memberi persetujuan supaya darahnya digunakan bagi ujian HIV, Hepatitis B dan VD. "Pada 15 Oktober lalu, Mohd Rodwan dan SAC I (Senior Asisten Komisioner) Musa Hassan datang ke HKL dan bertanya sama ada mereka boleh mengambil contoh darah Anwar untuk analisis DNA," katanya. Dr Zahari: Kami memberikan empat sebab kepada polis mengapa ujian DNA tidak boleh dilakukan terhadap darah Anwar: * contoh itu tidak disediakan untuk analisis DNA, * ia tidak sesuai untuk ujian DNA, * pendapat kami ialah keputusan ujian DNA itu tidak boleh dipercayai. * ia boleh membawa keputusan yang mengelirukan kerana kami menyimpan contoh darah itu di dalam bekas biasa tanpa pengawet atau EDTA. Katanya, mereka kemudian mencadangkan kepada polis bahawa mereka bersedia pada bila-bila masa untuk mengambil contoh darah Anwar di penjara Sungai Buloh untuk ujian DNA jika tertuduh membenarkannya. ************************************************ "In 1998-1999 trials, Anwar experienced the phenomenon of fabrication of DNA evidence. We had SAC Rodwan illegally removing DNA samples from forensic custody. In cross-examination of the prosecution's witnesses it was exposed that DNA taken from blood samples was planted on the infamous mattress," said Sivarasa. "When confronted with this fact the prosecution amended its charge and persuaded the judge, Augustine Paul, to expunge the entire DNA evidence from the record, preventing Anwar's lawyers from responding." ************************************************* Police have never dilly-dallied in investigating the alleged sodomy against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim since the case was reported to police on June 28, said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar.. He said the police, instead, had been relentlessly seeking relevant and the latest information, besides giving the case priority, as it was a high-profile case. "We want to solve this case as soon as possible.. The investigating officer is constantly looking for new leads. We are doing our best and we need the cooperation of all quarters concerned," he told Bernama when contacted here Tuesday. Ismail was asked to comment on Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar's statement on Monday, asking for police to speed up the investigations into the sodomy allegation against the Parti Keadilan Rakyat advisor. He said since the police investigations began, some quarters had been making speculations and statements that could interfere with the investigations. "I wish to warn everyone, including bloggers, not to disturb police investigations by disseminating material or information that is inaccurate or false. "Action will be taken against those who deliberately try to interfere with the investigations. Let the police do a meticulous job," he added. ************************************************* Sources told The Malaysian Insider that investigators are "crossing the t's and dotting the i's" and will be relying on Anwar's DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) samples from 1998 when he faced similar charges which cost him the chance to be prime minister. "Nobody wants a repeat of 1998 when the prosecution had to amend the charges. Anwar has alleged that he had an alibi for the 24 hours on the day the offence took place. So the authorities have to check everything out," said an official who is familiar with the investigations. "We understand that there is an attempt to quash credibility of the case even before the matter goes to court. The police cannot say too much because then they will be accused of trial by media and ministers cannot say much because they will be accused to interference. "This case is built on strong scientific evidence," the official added. ************************************************* This was posted on Susan Loone's blog: Susan, I would like to write the following statement in the name of GOD whom I believe. I am a government doctor in the rank of consultant working in Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL). I know personally the doctors who examined Saiful on that day - 28 June 2008. The so-called medical report mentioned in the NST is a fabrication or imagination by the UMNO paper. There is no such medical report submitted to the polis yet. When examining Saiful, the specialist could not find any signs of Saiful being sodomised. Saiful was very cheerful, unlike real sodomised patients who will usually be very sad and disturbed. Saiful was subsequently admitted to the ward and observed for a day. He was completely well in the ward and not emotionally disturbed. Please let RPK know of this. Thanks.

Azmin yang juga ahli Parlimen Gombak mempermain-mainkan Aminah dan berulangkali memanggilnya 'Minah Ronggeng', kerana mendakwa PKR menawarkan jawatan timbalan ketua menteri (TKM) jika beliau (Aminah) memenangi pilihanraya kecil itu.. "Mengapa PKR mahu menawarkan kepada seorang seperti Minah Ronggeng jawatan TKM? Mengapa kita hendak tawarkan kepadanya sedangkan kita ada seorang bekas profesor sebagai calon kita?" soalnya. Oleh itu, katanya, 'Minah Ronggeng' tersebut perlu mencerminkan mukanya terlebih dahulu sebelum membuat tuduhan tidak masuk akal seperti itu. Kira-kira 1,000 orang penduduk di Kubang Ulu menghadiri ceramah tersebut. Pilihanraya kecil Penanti Ahad depan menyaksikan pertandingan antara calon PKR yang juga pensyarah Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) dari PKR dan tiga calon bebas - Aminah, Nai Khan Ari Nai Keow Kamarul Ramizu Idris.

Beliau juga mendakwa, kedua-dua pemimpin PKR itu menawarkan jawatan TKM jika beliau (Aminah) tetap bertanding dan memenangi pilihanraya kecil tersebut. Aminah juga telah memberi bukti dalam bentuk foto dan rakaman audio kepada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) dan Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya (SPR) untuk menyokongnya laporannya.

Malaysiakini.com - DAP: 'Polis Raja Di-Malaysia'...

Malaysia telah menjadi sebuah negara polis, dakwa pengerusi DAP Perak, Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham Polis, dakwanya, bertindak menahan orang awam sesuka hati mereka tanpa menghiraukan hak asasi manusia.

Cops seek Interpol manhunt for RPK

(The Malaysian Insider) - Malaysian police are now seeking the help of Interpol to apprehend fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said today in the first official acknowledgement that RPK has fled the country. RPK, as he is popularly known, went on the lam last month when he failed to turn up for his sedition trial. Today a second warrant of arrest was issued against him for failing to turn up for his criminal defamation trial. Despite being a fugitive, RPK continues to taunt the authorities and remains a thorn in the side of the administration of Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Both his sedition and criminal defamation trials are related to his allegations that Najib was involved in the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu, the former mistress of the prime minister's associate. RPK continues to write regularly on his Malaysia Today website, giving his take on political developments and criticising the police and the Barisan Nasional (BN) government. Since skipping trial, the blogger who remains hugely popular has also been engaging in a war with some of his fellow bloggers. He has been attacking several bloggers whom he had once been friendly with, identifying them as pro-Barisan Nasional bloggers. According to a recent news report, police here believe RPK is now in Brisbane, Australia, together with his wife. Besides the latest arrest warrant issued today, Sessions Court judge Mohamad Sekeri Mamat also issued a show-cause notice to RPK's wife, Marina Lee Abdullah, as his bailor for not being in court as well. Raja Petra, 59, had on July 17 last year claimed trial to three counts of criminal defamation over his statutory declaration on the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu. He is alleged to have defamed Najib's wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor by claiming she was involved in the murder. RPK has claimed through his website that he would not be attending the trials as he fears being arrested under the Internal Security Act (ISA).

Omar Ong a Petronas Scholarship Defaulter?

I received this comment on my earlier posting in my blog from somebody who called himself "Petronas Scholar". He requested for me to publish his comment. Personally i believe he must be working in Petronas at the moment. Mohd Omar Ong bin Mustapha Ong was a scholar of Petronas. He was offered scholarship in May 1989 to do A-level in the UK and to study in Oxford University. He has repeatedly defaulted from his obligation in the scholarship agreement with Petronas. The revelation of Omar Ong's appointment as a member of the Board of Director of Petronas will mean that the Board of Direcor have honoured a scholarship defaulter with this appointment. Omar completed his study and graduated from Oxford with a Bachelor's degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. On February 16th, 1995 he joined Petronas as Executive. He later resigned and join Multimedia Development Corporation (MDC) on February 1st, 1997. Omar was employed for nearly 2 years and at the time of resignation, had not fulfill his compulsory service. Petronas agreed to transfer the compulsory service to MDC being another Government Company.. His stinct with MDC lasted few months more than 3 years for he resigned on March 31, 2000. This is in breach of the scholarship agreement and he was informed by the Education Services Unit on June 2000. Consequently, he was issued a Letter of Demand in January 2001 from the Legal Service Unit of Petronas. By September 2001, Lee, Hishamuddin & Co. was appointed to start proceeding against Omar. Judgement was obtained against Omar in February 2003. After MDC, Omar joined McKinsey & Co, London, and operated in Kuala Lumpur. He later co-founded Ethos & Co. in February 2002. In February 2004, he was appointed Special Officer 1 to the Deputy Prime Minister. A deed of settlement was signed in May 2005 and he was to serve the Government of Malaysia for an assigned period of 4 years 10 months. In the event of another breach of contract, he will be required to pay a settlement of RM120,000. Omar resigned and rejoined Ethos & Co. in February 2006. Appreciate you could publish this comment in your blog in order to get reactions from Omar Ong or Petronas to this revealed details. This should serve to alert Najib that the man he agreed to be appointed as Director for Petronas is a Petronas Scholar who defaulted on his loan. Najib's insistance on the Board of Director of Petronas to appoint Omar Ong will put them in a difficult position to breach their own internally long practised policies and will be expected to be given exception. As another Petronas Scholar, I ask why should defaulter Omar be an exception?

Anwar: If I were PM ...

(The Malaysian Insider) - One way he would improve racial ties in Malaysia if he were prime minister, said opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, would be to stop awarding scholarships to the children of government ministers. Describing his experience when his eldest daughter Nurul Izzah — now Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai in Kuala Lumpur — went to university, Anwar said he was told he needn't pay her fees as she was "automatically" given a scholarship. But Anwar, who was then deputy prime minister and finance minister, persisted and the university eventually accepted his payment. "This has to be stopped," he said of the practice, which has angered families of poor Chinese and Indian students who qualified for assistance but did not receive it. Speaking at a lunch yesterday organised by the Foreign Correspondents Association of Singapore, Anwar touched on a variety of topics, including racial harmony, Malaysia's New Economic Policy (NEP) and his long-time political foe, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Lauding the efforts of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, Anwar said the secretary-general of the DAP sets a good example of how to work with different races. "Here is a Chinese leader who talks about the Malay problem, the Indian problem," he said. "If we do this, we will win every by-election and general election." Anwar was also sceptical about Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's pledge that the controversial NEP would be reviewed. The policy gives privileges in government contracts, jobs, business, property purchases and education to Malays, and has resulted in a lack of opportunities for the minority races. "He announced it here in Singapore, that he wants to dismantle the NEP, (but) nothing has happened since. You dismantle it in place of what?" asked Anwar. "Do you still continue the old ways of disbursing funds to selected companies and to your cronies?" The opposition, on the other hand, outlined a plan several years ago to replace the NEP, said Anwar, one that would make Malaysia compete aggressively with economies like South Korea and Taiwan. On Mahathir, Anwar said the former prime minister performed "remarkably well" in terms of reforming the country. He pointed out that the elder statesman had risen to prominence, though he did not come from an influential political family. Anwar was heir apparent to Dr Mahathir until he was sacked in 1998 after being hit with sodomy and corruption charges. He served six years in jail for corruption but was later cleared of sodomy. The pair has been trading barbs over the years through the media. Replying to a question on what he would say about Mahathir if he were writing his biography, Anwar said: "He had a very strong passion and desire to undertake necessary changes to make Malaysia great. I was persuaded to join (Umno) because of that." However, with time, Dr Mahathir became "too confident" and thought of Malaysia as his "own property". "I believe Malaysia has to move on beyond not only Mahathir," Anwar said, "but also beyond old, obsolete policies and parties such as Umno and BN."

Seperti diduga, jawatan timbalan presiden menyaksikan perebutan tiga penjuru antara penyandangnya Nasharuddin Mat Isa, Datuk Husam Musa dan Mohamad Sabu. Bagi Pemuda PAS, dua lagi jawatan kanan turut dimenangi tanpa bertanding - masing-masing Azman Shapawi Abd Rani sebagai timbalan ketua dan Ahmad Sabki Yusof (naib ketua). Jawatan ketua Dewan Muslimat menyaksikan persaingan dua penjuru, antara penyandang Nuridah Salleh dengan pencabarnya Dr Asiah Ali. Datuk Harun Taib menguasai kembali ketua Dewan Ulama tanpa bertanding seperti dua lagi jawatan kanan - timbalannya kini Datuk Ahmad Yaakob dan naib ketua Datuk Mahfodz Mohamed. Senarai penuh calon-calon barisan pemimpin PAS diumumkan dalam satu sidang media khas di ibu pejabat parti, Kuala Lumpur pagi ini.

Blogs : After Omar Ong, Syed Hamid rumoured for Petronas Chairman?

source http://anotherbrickinwall.blogspot.com/2009/05/after-omar-ong-syed-hamid-rumoured-for.html If last week saw Omar Ong being appointed on the Board of Director (BoD) of Petronas, the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, where Petronas headquarter is located, is a buzzed with rumours that former Minister, Dato Seri Syed Hamid Albar will be appointed as Chairman of Petronas. These two appointments are not expected to go down well with the public and corporate circle. If the two appointments are publicly announced, it could come at an expensive political cost to Najib. His first 100 days as Prime Minister has not brought the profound boost hoped by UMNO members and these appointments would invite more negative perception of his premiership. Since its establishment by Tun Abdul Razak in 1974, Government has maintained an unwritten rule that the management of Petronas is free from any direct or indirect political interference and be run professionally. This has proven to be a successful formula vis-a-vis other state run organisation. The practise has also been that members of the BoD of Petronas is limited to Government representative from the civil servants and top executives in Petronas for their professional input on the oil and gas. (See the current line-up here.) The only exception being Tan Sri Ananda Krishnan, who was invited to help established Petronas at its inception. He was then an established player in the regional oil and gas trade and brought in by the then Chairman of Petronas, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. The presence of former Minister, Syed Hamid as Chairman and Omar Ong as member of the Board of Directors will not auger well for Najib's public image. Words are that the justification used to appoint Syed Hamid is his experience as Foreign Minister. This is felt by many observers as odd since the international relation role will be better served by the current Petronas Adviser, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Dr Mahathir commands a strong respect in the Middle East and Third World countries. Petronas overseas ventures came about during his premiership. He was known as the number 1 salesman of the country. Syed Hamid's stinct as Foreign Minister was marred by his failure to defend Batu Putih from Singapore's claim. He was alleged to be involved in a company selling sand to Singapore. This became a factor in the cancellation of the scenic Johor Bridge that caused much uproar amongst Johorean. Petronas is doing much in road into the Middle East. As told by a former Senior Minister, Syed Hamid is not known for his good personal relations with Arab leaders. The perception of the few Petronas executives spoken on Omar Ong's presence were generally negative. He will be perceived as "the voice of the Prime Minister" and this will exert undue influence on other members of the BoD, particularly the representatives from the various Ministries. This could invariably lead to Omar Ong directly interfering in operational matters of Petronas. He has tendency to be persistent and this will be the manner he insert his liberalisation "agenda" into Petronas. Petronas has been successful because it was able to carryout it's policy and implement it's plan without interference from external parties. It's system and procedures of check and balance is in place and working well. There is no need for interference, real or perceived, from other power at be. The last Petronas need is interference from it's former scholarship holder with limited working experience and textbook knowledge of the oil and gas industry. Other than Petronas, another organisation that has proved successful with a "no political interference policy" is Permodalan Nasional Berhad. The BoD of PNB is similarly limited to distinguished former high Government officials. and at one time, corporate men. The economic and social contribution of both Petronas and PNB is too invaluable to the nation. Thus, it is important that such institutions be protected and run by capable and experienced professionals with governmental playing the policy monitoring role. The "taboo" for politicians or politicians' representative involvement in the management of both organisations should remain. Furthermore, Petronas is increasingly dependent on international business. It can't afford to tarnish its unblemished record with 'amateurish' mistake and god forbid, a financial scandal. The risk is too high to give the top positions in Petronas to inexperienced young wannabees and popularity motivated politicians. Politically, this could be an expensive political cost to the Prime Minister and UMNO. He could be accused by opposition of introducing cronyism into Petronas and the generally sceptic public is likely to believe such allegations. The role to be played by Omar Ong and Syed Hamid could be played without being appointed on the BoD. As it is, Najib should remain focus to turnaround the economy in order to regain public confidence to the party. He does not need to take unconventional decisions that will detour him from regaining the trust and confidence of the public.

RPK : Malaysia and the PPP disease

And do you really want Aminah as President of the MPPP? I would not even offer her the post of Chief Dogcatcher of the Council let alone its President. And if you know her personally then you would know why I say this. She just does not have right credentials to head the Council as its President. THE CORRIDORS OF POWER Raja Petra Kamarudin Aminah Abdullah, the former Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Penang Wanita chief, alleges that the party offered her RM80,000 as an inducement to withdraw from contesting the Penanti by-election. Aminah is one of the three independent candidates in the by-election that will be held on 31 May 2009. She says she was also offered the post of President of the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) if she agrees to withdraw. Furthermore, she alleges, she was offered the post of Deputy Chief Minister 1 (DCM1) if she manages to win the by-election. According to Aminah, all these offers were made during the two or three meetings that were held before Nomination Day. She also claims she recorded the three-hour meeting with the middlemen, one of whom is a special officer to a Penang state executive councillor and a PKR supreme council member. She said the meetings were recorded at her home in Jelutong on May 13. She then gave journalists who had attended her press conference a copy of the recordings. Aminah said she refused the offers and claims she had photographs taken of her with the two people who came to meet her. Her family members took the photographs using mobile phones without the knowledge of these two PKR representatives who came to meet her. "I am one who believes in justice and the truth and I am doing this not out of spite but to counter the allegations made by PKR state chief Datuk Mohd Zahrain Mohamed Hashim who wanted me to show the evidence that I was offered these inducements. I will lodge a report with the Election Commission on Tuesday and expose who they are," she said during a press conference held at her operations centre in Simpang Tiga Kubang Ulu. She has also lodged a police report at the Seberang Perai Tengah district police station for fear of her safety following her expose. I can only say that the two PKR representatives who went to meet her -- assuming that did happen -- are pretty stupid. First of all, why offer her the post of President of the MPPP if she agrees to withdraw and then the post of DCM1 if she does not withdraw but stays in the contest and wins? It should be one or the other. And would it not be better for her to contest and win and become the DCM1 instead of withdrawing and getting appointed as merely the President of the MPPP? And RM80,000 is just too small an amount. Aminah would need at least RM200,000 if she contests the by-election. That would be just to contest without any plans to win. If she really wants to win then she would need at least RM500,000, going up to RM2 million if Umno is also in the race and decides to spend big money, as they normally do as the last ten years has proven. This means Aminah already has at least RM200,000 in her pocket or handbag and probably even more if she is serious about winning the by-election. What is RM80,000 to her then? I would have offered her at least RM500,000 or RM1 million if I really wanted her to withdraw. RM80,000 is a downright insult. And do you really want Aminah as President of the MPPP? I would not even offer her the post of Chief Dogcatcher of the Council let alone its President. And, if you know her personally, then you would know why I say this. She just does not have right credentials to head the Council as its President. And DCM1? I think Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng would probably resign in disgust and join Gerakan if she were made Penang's DCM1. I doubt the DCM2, Professor Ramasamy, would even consider this a joke. It is beyond a joke. It is like the Prof appointing his typist as his new boss. Aminah has always been a troublemaker since way back. She has been the wedge between Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and the PKR Penang people. I remember one meeting that I attended when I brought some PKR Penang chaps along and she gave me a downright dirty look. She did not want any 'outsiders' in the meeting. She did not mind me being in the meeting. It was the other PKR Penang chaps that she resented. In short, she wanted exclusivity. She and only she can have access to Wan Azizah. All others must be kept out. You just can't run PKR Penang single-handedly. You need a team. But she prefers that PKR Penang be run as a committee of one and she was to be the sole committee member. Invariably, PKR Penang lost all their good people because of her. Many either just went into retirement or crossed over to Umno. They were utterly disgusted with what was going on in PKR Penang. Appointing her the DCM1 would be suicide. Her first task would be to drive a wedge between PKR and DAP. She has already antagonised the PAS people whom she looks down on -- even their State Assemblymen. The mind boggles as to why PKR did not get rid of her sooner. The longer she stayed as PKR's Wanita chief the more damage she was causing the party. It came to a stage that many preferred to stay away from PKR Penang and leave it to its own devices. The best thing that happened to PKR Penang was when she left. Now PKR wants her back as DCM1 or President of the MPPP or both? Heavens! What the hell is wrong with Anwar Ibrahim? Maybe it is time he stepped aside and allows someone else to run the party. Sheesh! Aminah as DCM1 and President of the MPPP? Rosmah Mansor is any time far more intelligent than Aminah. It looks like Malaysia is suffering from PPP disease. No, I don't mean the People's Progressive Party, which now has two Presidents (okay, Confuses says 'two heads are better than one, especially if they are on the same coin' -- while Umno says 'heads I win, tails you lose, so never mind if the coin has only one head'). The PPP ailment I am talking about is an overdose of Politics, Prostitutes and Perak. By the way, did you realise that prostitution is a RM3 billion a year industry? This excludes political prostitution, which, according to some calculations, is another RM2.5 billion a year. Why do you think they want to avoid another state election in Perak? The 59 state seats up for grabs -- if a new state election is held -- will cost another RM2 million each. This totals RM120 million. Then there is the cost for the police, election commission, etc., which would come to another few hundred million. And with the fast-track development and whatnot, we are talking about a possible RM2 billion in total. Kuala Terengganu alone cost RM600 million for just one parliament seat with the RM500 million special fund included. Yes, RM3 billion for prostitution, RM2.5 billion for political prostitution, and RM2 billion for a new Perak state election. And we say that Malaysia has no money. Malaysia does have money but it is just that it is not being spent on the right things. And even when it is spent on the right things the leakages are very high. Just ask any businessman, local or foreign, and they will have horror stories to tell. You just can't do business in Malaysia unless you pay. And the bill for all these extra and hidden costs are charged back to us, the taxpayers. So, invariably, we Malaysians end up paying for the PPP. ************************************************** Prove it Aminah, don't just offer hot air to gain publicity Monday, 25 May 2009 By Wong Choon Mei, Suara Keadilan Independent candidate for the Penanti state seat Aminah Abdullah took another bite at her former party PKR, in a bid to kickstart her campaign against biggest competitor Mansor Othman, the flag carrier for the Pakatan Rakyat. A former state PKR Wanita chief, she told a press conference on Monday that she was offered top jobs including the Penand deputy chief minister post and RM80,000 if she were to pull out from the contest. "The offer to head the Penang City Council was on the condition that I did not contest in the by-election," Aminah said. "They wanted me to withdraw on the nomination and give a walkover to PKR candidate. Obviously I did not agree to their offer. That's why I am here contesting this by-election." She declined to name the people who 'bribed' her but said that one was a special officer to an executive councillor in the Pakatan Rakyat state government and another a member of the PKR supreme council. Aminah also distributed copies of an audio recording of the alleged offers made to her. The recording, in compact disc form, lasts about three hours. Show us the evidence, or retract and apologise The 56-year old, who left PKR on bitter terms, said that she had photographic evidence of her meetings and would release these in due time, along with the names of the alleged 'bribers'. Meanwhile, she said she has lodged a police report, seeking protection for herself and her family. She plans to lodge another report with the Election Commission, but had no answers when asked why she did not complain to the rightful authority instead - which is the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. Apart from PKR's Mansor, a former USM lecturer, Aminah is up against two other Independents - former Gerakan Youth chief of Teluk Wang branch Nai Khan and Kamarul Ramizu Idris. Meanwhile, PKR leaders denied her claims, challenging her to produce proof. Election director Saifuddin Nasution said PKR would be sending a legal notice to Aminah, seeking a retraction and an apology. "PKR is unperturbed by her allegations. Our chances of winning in Penanti is as good as ever," said Saifuddin, who is also the MP for Machang. "Let her lodge the report, produce the evidence and allow EC to probe the case. Until then we have no comment." ******************************************************* Malaysia sex trade reaping RM3 billion in 2008 Sex trade is illegal in Malaysia but that didn't stop it from reaping whooping RM3 billion profits last year according to Tenaganita a non-governmental organisation. Tenaganita estimated that the number of prostitutes in the country at least 150,000 with more than 10,000 operating in the Klang Valley alone. A prostitute monthly earning easily surpassing that of a minister, university professor or high ranking government officers. Charging an average of RM150 an hour, eight client per day, working seven-day a week, a prostitute ends up making RM36,000 a month said Aegile Fernandez, Tenaganita anti-human trafficking coordinator. "Serving an average of eight clients a day, she ends up making RM1,200 daily and possibly RM36,000 a month," she said. According to Aegile, syndicates that run brothels usually have up to 100 girls under them. http://www.bintulu.org/news/2009/05/25/malaysia-sex-trade-reaping-rm3-billion-2008.php

Blogs : Saman la Raja Petra tu, Datuk Seri PM! (II)

source http://penarikbeca.blogspot.com/2009/05/saman-la-raja-petra-tu-datuk-seri-pm-ii.html Polis pernah membawa balik orang kuat Parti Komunis Malaya, Musa Ahmad dari Beijing. Polis juga pernah membawa balik Ashaari Muhammad dari Siam. Ketika saya berkerja di Kementerian Dalam Negeri, polis-polis cawangan khas (SB) yang berkerja bersama-sama saya selalu berkata dengan bangganya bahawa polis Malaysia "is one of the best in the world". Pada masa itu, iatu selepas 1982, PAS dikategorikan sebagai ancaman. Saya tak lupa bagaimana kawan saya yang sedang menjalani latihan di SB School bercakap pandai tentang gerakan Islam. Beliau menayang-nayangkan pengetahuannya tentang pemikiran Hassan Al-Banna, Syed Qutb dan sebagainya. Ketika menziarahi kami di hari cutinya, saya lihat beliau membawa bersama-samanya buku-buku yang ada dalam silibus tarbiyyah PAS. Dalam hati, walaupun terdetik bahawa "SB Malaysia is one of the best in the world," saya berkata, "celaka sungguh!" Pada pertengahan tahun lapan puluhan (selepas saya berhenti dari Kementerian Dalam Negeri pada 31 Disember 1983), ketika saya disoal siasat oleh tiga orang pegawai polis dan anggota SB yang menjadi kawan saya ketika saya berkerja di Kementerian Dalam Negeri turut berada di situ menyaksikan saya disoal siasat (di mana sebelum itu beliau memberikan sekotak rokok Benson & Hedges 20 batang kepada saya - hanya Allah s.w.t. yang tahu tujuannya berbuat demikian), saya mengakui saya kantoi beberapa kali apabila mereka mengasak saya pelbagai soalan dan sudah tentu termasuk leading questions mengenai PAS. Akhirnya, bila saya dah tak tentu arah, entah macam mana tanpa dirancang, saya menyebut, "Buat apa hampa tanya aku, SB Malaysia is one of the best in the world!" Tanpa saya sangka, tiba-tiba mereka naik marah kepada saya dan menghambat saya balik apabila saya kata "SB Malaysia is one of the best in the world!" Oleh kerana entah berapa pintu yang terpaksa saya lalui untuk sampai ke bilik soal siasat tersebut sebelum itu, saya jadi tak ketahuan nak cari jalan keluar. Terpaksalah saya minta tolong dengan salah seorang anggota polis di situ. Dengan izin Allah, nasib baik dia tolong. Dalam perjalanan pulang, saya mengutuk-ngutuk diri sendiri. Walaupun saya berusaha bersungguh-sungguh untuk mengawal lidah saya, tapi saya rasa sangat berdosa kepada PAS kerana ada juga yang saya kantoi. Saya rasa hendak campak sekotak rokok yang diberikan kepada saya itu, tetapi tak sampai hati pula kerana rokok itu diberikan oleh kawan saya - walaupun dia seorang SB. Saya menceritakan pengalaman di atas untuk menyatakan betapa bangganya polis Malaysia apabila disebut bahawa pasukan mereka "is one the best in the world". Saya tak tahu mengapa pegawai-pegawai polis yang saya ceritakan di atas tiba-tiba marah kepada saya dalam soal siasat yang saya lalui itu. Mungkin mereka rasa terhina apabila saya kata, "Buat apa hampa tanya aku, SB Malaysia is one of the best in the world!" Mungkin mereka fikir saya memperlecehkan mereka - seolah-olah saya kata mereka terlalu koro dalam mencari maklumat sehingga terpaksa bertanya kutu macam saya. Padahal, saya tidak berniat demikian. Saya sendiri pun tak tau macam mana saya boleh berkata begitu. Yang pasti, saya sangat gelabah waktu itu hingga terlintas dalam hati, "Kalaulah aku ada ilmu ghaib!" Hari ini, Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) hilang entah ke mana. Polis mendakwa beliau berada di Brisbane. tetapi, RPK seolah-olah mempermain-mainkan mereka apabila beliau sengaja menayang-nayangkan gambarnya berseronok-suka ketika polis bagaikan ternganga-nganga di sana-sini menjejakinya. Saya tak kata polis ternganga-nganga, saya kata bagaikan ternganga-nganga. Ketika beliau menayang-nayangkan gambarnya berseronok-suka dalam keadaan polis mencari-carinya itu, dia tampil pula dengan dakwaan terbaru. RPK mendakwa bahawa Tun Daim Zainuddin pernah memberitahu Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad bahawa Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Abdul Razak Baginda dan Altantuya Shaariibuu pernah bertemu di Oriental Hotel di Marina Square di Singapura setahun sebelum wanita Mongolia itu dibunuh dan diletupkan. Malah, beliau mendakwa pula bahawa dengan bukti yang dimiliki oleh Singapura itu, pulau puaka itu boleh memeras ugut Najib. RPK cuba menggambarkan bahawa Perdana Menteri Malaysia boleh diperas ugut oleh Singapura. Saya benar-benar berharap dakwaan RPK tidak benar. Jika RPK berbohong, saya harap Dr Mahathir, Daim, Najib dan Razak Baginda tidak berdiam diri. Yang nampak dah kotor sangat perlu dibersihkan. In the absence pun boleh saman. Jika perkara itu benar, bayangkan betapa buruk akibat kepada negara ini! Pulau puaka pasti membawa celaka!

Malaysiakini : Penyokong 'rasa tertipu' mainan Umno

Bekas ketua penerangan Umno Perlis mendakwa ramai ahli parti itu termasuk di kalangan Pemuda bersedia meninggalkan parti itu jika beliau berbuat demikian. "Respons awal ialah mereka akan meneliti perkara itu dan sedia bersama saya. "Mereka berkata kalau Datuk Hashim lompat, mereka akan lompat juga," kata Datuk Hashim Suboh hari ini. Beliau mendakwa, kebanyakan mereka juga "berasa tertipu" dengan permainan politik Perlis sekarang bawah barisan kepemimpinan baru sejak Mac tahun lalu. Beliau juga mendakwa, ketua penerangan Umno negeri yang baru Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad "tidak pandai menjalin hubungan dengan orang lain". Katanya, keadaan ini boleh menjejaskan imej parti terutama ada kumpulan yang tidak senang dengan kepimpinan Menteri Besar, Datuk Seru Md Isa Sabu. "Umno Perlis menjadi kacau bilau kerana tindakan-tindakan bekas setiausaha agung Umno itu," katanya ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini. Beliau diminta mengulas kenyataan Radzi di sebuah akhbar hari ini yang menganggap laporan di internet bahawa ramai ahli Umno Perlis menyertai pembangkang adalah "gimik politik murahan demi meraih populariti peribadi sebagai membantah kepemimpin Umno negeri". Hashim berkata, perkara ini akan menjadi lebih besar jika ia tidak diselesaikan dengan segera. Orang kanan bekas menteri besar Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim itu juga kecewa dengan dakwaan Radzi bahawa laporan media bahawa ramai ahli Umno Perlis telah dan akan menyertai pembangkang "didalangi oleh individu tertentu yang mensabotaj parti ketika kempen pilihanraya umum tahun lalu". Hashim menambah, untuk membuktikan dakwaan tersebut benar atau tidak, ahli parlimen Kangar perlu bertemu dengan mereka yang berpaling tadah. "Tanya mereka sendiri mengapakah mereka keluar Umno. Jawabannya, kerana (mereka) meluat dengan Radzi," katanya. Malaysiakini sejak minggu lalu melaporkan keluh kesah ahli-ahli Umno terhadap parti itu, termasuk ingin menyertai pembangkang beramai-ramai, antaranya akibat dipecat daripada Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung.

Reuters : Anwar confident he will win sodomy case

(Reuters) - Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said on Monday he is confident a court will find no evidence of sodomy when his case, which has inflamed political passions in Malaysia, resumes in July. Anwar, who spent six years in jail on a 1998 sodomy conviction that was ultimately overturned, faces a 20-year sentence if convicted on the new charge. Homosexuality is outlawed in Malaysia. That would effectively end his political career which has seen him come close to mounting a challenge to the National Front government that has ruled Malaysia for the 51 years since independence from Britain. Political tensions in Malaysia have been stoked by arrests of opposition supporters and when Anwar was tried in the late 1990s, tens of thousands of people took to the streets. "We've seen the conduct of the judiciary in the past, in the recent past ... as reasons to worry about that," Anwar told a luncheon of foreign correspondents in Singapore, in reply to a question about the possibility of mass protests at his trial. His sodomy trial was transferred to the High Court in March, a move his lawyers have said could prejudice the 62-year old's chances of a fair hearing, because the Attorney General trying the case was investigated for allegedly tampering with evidence in Anwar's cases 10 years ago. Anwar was arrested in July of last year for "sexual assault on a young male aide. It made little difference to his political popularity, because weeks later he won a by-election and returned in triumph to parliament as opposition leader after a decade's absence. "We have all the medical records, the private doctors, the government doctors. Absolutely, there's no possibility of a penetration. Then how do you explain sodomy happening without penetration?" Anwar said. "I don't think they can fool the Malaysian or international community by fabrication ... We will fight at this case. Clearly this is a malicious prosecution or persecution." The People's Alliance grouping that Anwar now heads deprived the government of its two-thirds majority in parliamentary elections in March 2008 and ended up controlling five of Malaysia's 13 state legislatures, the best-ever result for the opposition. The strong performance forced the then-Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to step aside early and be replaced by his deputy, Najib Razak, the son of Malaysia's third prime minister. Anwar joked with reporters about all the mudslinging in Malaysia politics. "Must I be angry? No, I will go through the process. They alleged me with man, woman, and they haven't gone to cows yet, so I'm still OK," Anwar joked about the sodomy case.

Cops: RPK now staying in Brisbane (UPDATED WITH PIC)

By Andrew Sagayam & Royce Cheah, The Star Police have confirmed that online news portal Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin is in Brisbane. A police source said the former Internal Security Act (ISA) detainee had contacts in Australia who had arranged accommodation for him and his wife Marina Lee Abdullah. Raja Petra was not present on Friday to face his sedition trial at the Sessions Court here. The court had issued a warrant of arrest against him after he first failed to turn up in court on April 23 for the trial. On his news portal that same day, Raja Petra had posted his reasons for his non-attendance, saying he was in self-exile from Selangor because of a dispute with the state's royalty. The arrest warrant and a show-cause notice for Marina — who is his bailor — summoning her to explain her husband's absence at court had not been executed. The court set July 17 for mention of the case, saying that the next course of action would be decided by judge Rozina Ayob. Raja Petra has, however, been actively blogging on the news portal with a recent post issuing an apology to the nation for the actions of his son, Raja Azman, who recently pleaded guilty to four separate counts of theft, receiving stolen property and criminal trespass. He said he and his wife knew that their son was picked up by the police after running into some trouble.

Malaysiakini.com : Aminah dedah bukti PKR sogok

Calon bebas Aminah Abdullah mendakwa mempunyai bukti PKR cuba menyogoknya dengan jawatan penting jika beliau tidak bertanding dalam pilihanraya kecil Penanti, 31 Mei ini. Dalam sidang medianya pagi ini, bekas ketua Wanita PKR Pulau Pinang mendakwa, dua wakil parti itu menemuinya pada 13 Mei lalu untuk menawarkan jawatan yang dipertua Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang (MPPP).

Malaysiakini.com : PKR nafi cuba sogok Aminah

PKR hari ini menafikan dakwaan Aminah Abdullah bahawa ia cuba memberi ganjaran kepada calon bebas itu supaya menarik diri daripada bertanding dalam pilihanraya kecil Penanti, 31 Mei ini. Pengarah Strategi PKR Tian Chua mencabar mana-mana calon bebas termasuk Aminah yang membuat dakwaan itu supaya mengemukakan bukti kepada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) dan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR). "Jika ada sebarang bukti bahawa ada pemimpin atau mana-mana daripada kami (PKR) menawarkan ganjaran kewangan, laporkan kepada SPRM atau SPR," katanya, lapor Bernama. Beliau mengulas kenyataan Aminah semalam yang mendakwa akan mendedahkan bukti bahawa PKR cuba memberi ganjaran kepadanya agar berbuat demikian menjelang pilihanraya kecil DUN itu.     Aminah, 57, bekas ketua Wanita PKR Pulau Pinang, seorang daripada tiga calon bebas yang akan bertanding. Dua lagi calon: pengurus syarikat yang juga bekas ketua Pemuda Gerakan cawangan Telok Wang, Penanti, Nai-Khan Ari a/l Nai Keow, 41 dan pakar motivasi Kamarul Ramizu Idris, 42.     Pengurus pilihanraya kecil Penanti dari PKR, Nasaruddin Nasution berkata, dakwaan Aminah itu mungkin disebabkan rasa tidak puas hati dengan mana-mana pihak dalam parti.

RPK :I just love a good fight

Rusdi Mustapha said some nasty things about me. Maybe I should allow you to be the judge as to whether what he said is true or not. My comments to his comments are in brackets/italics. Read on and you decide if what Rusdi said is the gospel or a load of bullshit. NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin RPK is now a fugitive and, thus far, still a liar! This has to be said! I for once (it should be 'I for one', not 'I for once') do not believe Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) ran away, rather than face the court, because he is afraid his Royal family will punish him for being a treacherous to his royal brethren! I for once (same here) do not believe he skips his court hearings because he is afraid, as he puts it, the police will arrest him and throw him in the dungeon. (The IGP and Minister BOTH made public announcements that the police do not intend to re-detain Uthayakumar. Why do they refuse to also announce that they do not intend to re-detain me? Furthermore, they appealed against the Shah Alam High Court's decision to release me from ISA detention while they refuse to appeal the same court's decision to acquit Razak Baginda of the charge of abetment to murder.) He took off because he is in a fix for he cannot come out with any shred of evidence on any of his serious allegation he made against Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor! (If Superintendent Gan would just reply to all the questions posed by my lawyer, YB Gobind Singh Deo, in my sedition trial, then the evidence that Rusdi seeks would be available. Of course I can't come out with a shred of evidence when they cover up that evidence and refuse to allow it to surface in the trial. Why not Rusdi suggest instead that Supt. Gan reply to the questions so that this evidence that he seeks would be available?) However, I would also like to believe this man RPK could be suffering from a psychiatric disorder called "Munchausen Syndrome", a malady which is named after a 16th century German Baron Karl Friedrich von Münchausen. According to a definition, Münchausen Syndrome "is a psychiatric disorder wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma in order to draw attention or sympathy to themselves. It is in a class of disorders known as factitious disorders which involve "illnesses" whose symptoms are either self-induced or falsified by the patient. It is also sometimes known as hospital addiction syndrome or hospital hopper syndrome." (Would Rusdi like to deny that he came to meet me at the Havana Club at midnight some time in 2007 to offer to pay me off to stop writing about Najib and his link to the Altantuya murder? Would Rusdi like to deny he asked me to name my price? Would Rusdi like to deny he phoned me the next day and scolded me for telling Dr Mahathir about it? Would Rusdi like to deny that he phoned me and scolded me for telling Dr Mahathir because Najib screwed him good and proper after Dr Mahathir gave him a piece of his mind? An Umno man by the name of 'Man Cowboy' was there that night. Would Rusdi like to deny that as well?) For the record, RPK has hurled a lot of serious unfounded accusations against the Prime Minister and his wife for being involved in a death, mind you in a death, of a foreign national. That, to me is a very serious accusation. Thus far he has accused the PM of being involved, and the PM's wife had supervised in the killing of a foreign national. (The transcript of the exchanges of text messages between Najib and lawyer Shafee Abdullah is re-produced below. This was first published in Malaysia Today when I was under detention in Kamunting. So it could not have been me who published it since I did not have internet access in my jail cell. Najib never denied this. He just said that it is a private matter so he need not explain anything.) RPK also said he has a witness, a Lieutenant Colonel in the military intelligence, who said this witness saw the whole thing, which led him to write a piece in his website accusing the PM's wife supervise the killing. Serious stuff! (While under ISA detention and during my interrogation I informed Datuk Zambri Ahmad of the Special Branch that my source was Kol. Azmi Zainal Abidin of Military Intelligence. Zamri said he knows Kol Azmi personally. Why do they refuse to ask Kol. Azmi to openly and publicly deny this? Is it because they did speak to Kol. Azmi and he actually confirmed it? And was this also why they quickly packed me off to Kamunting the next day without allowing me to sign my statement cum confession?) Well so far this has happened! This Lt Col has since said it was a total hogwash and a fabrication on the assertion on RPK's part that he saw the whole thing where a foreign national was blown up and the wife of the PM was there, and he told RPK! We, Malaysians, were led to believe RPK has a concrete proof to the fact! Well, instead of showing the proof so that the PM and his wife can be charged then if found guilty to be hanged or jailed for being involved in a murder, RPK scoot off and ran away! (What if I can produce the official and signed records of the security personnel to confirm that TWO senior officers from the military went to Najib's house the night of Altantuya's murder and did not leave until the next morning? What happened in those many hours they were in Najib's house? Does Rusdi really want these records made public? Will Najib be able to explain it if I do make them public?) Then he has the audacity to tell the whole world, in his website Malaysia Today, that he could not attend his court hearings where he has to answer to some very serious accusation he made to the Prime Minister of this country and his wife, because the police will arrest him and hos (I think he meant 'his') Royal brethren will kidnapped (bad grammar) and tortured (also bad grammar) him if he were to appear in court at PJ which is in the state of Selangor?! What an insult to our intelligence eh! (I never said that.. What I did do was I published the two e-mails from my Aunty Fuziah below. Rusdi himself has previously posted an article in his Blog where he said that the Sultan of Selangor called me gila. In fact, Rusdi added, the Selangor Royal Family regards me as a sort of outcast of the family. This is what Rusdi himself posted in his Blog. He said this, not me.) The sad part is what he wrote for his reason why he ran away to be a fugitive instead of facing the music is that many people still believe in his lies! (Rusdi had better check whether I am running away from something or running towards something. Read my story about crossing the bridge and tricking the guard into thinking you are coming from one direction whereas you are actually coming from the opposite direction.) Well, I do not how it works but if he is in London, England, I am sure he can be extradited, and if he is in Segambut hiding at YB BABI's house I am sure he has to come out sooner or later. (Well, let's see you try to get me. I plan to be the longest fugitive on the run in Malaysian history. And I am going to conduct this guerrilla warfare and keep hitting Umno till it destructs in a heap.) When that happens I think the Malaysian government will be firmed (bad grammar again) enough to take stern action and do the necessary in finding him guilty of lying and then booked him with the maximum years allowed by the law for his crime against the natural order of logic! This man RPK, he is one totally illogical sad dude I have ever come across! (You have to catch me first.) Enough already! Rusdi Mustapha ************************************************* Dear Peter, I am sending you this letter as you have not responded to my telephone calls nor to my telephone message inviting you to the house on Saturday afternoon to talk over family matters particularly in connection with the open letter to Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin which you posted in your blog on 2nd March 2009. As you already know, I admire your ability to write and express your thoughts, ideas and comments about events in your blog especially your mastery of the English language. I have also often reminded you that truth should always prevail in communicating these things to the public. It is also not for you to decide "what is clearly lawful". Had Tok Uda been alive, he would have considered the content and manner of what you wrote in the open letter to Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, as a betrayal of the code of conduct and values which he had subscribed to, cherished and passed on to us. And for this, to have come from his favourite grandson would certainly have made him collapse in a state of shock. While Tok Uda, as a true royalist had demanded loyalty and the upholding of family honour, tradition and adat, he had, on many occasions also emphasized that we are entitled to our own personal views, accepted our sense and spirit of adventure, freedom of thought and action as you may well have known from the family history. But "RESPECT FOR THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY" or "UPHOLDING LAW AND ORDER " was his cardinal principle, to be dearly valued and respected by the family at all times. I believe that in the case of the open letter, you have crossed the line. Such writings would appear to be seditious. Therefore, for the sake of Tok Uda, and, in upholding the family honour, I feel that the only discourse open is to diffuse/redeem this and for you to apologize through your blog to the rulers and the public. We all love you Peter in our own small ways but I have this task to keep the family together, so help me Peter. And  so help me  too, Ya-Allah. With my personal good wishes and love to you and Marina and the family, I remain, Yours, Aunty Fuziah 14 March 2009 ************************************************* Dear Peter, Assalamualaikum, It would appear that you have misinterpreted my letter of 14 March 2009 to you. In all fairness to your readers, I urge you to post the full text of the letter in your blog. Thank you and Wassalam, Yours, Aunty Fuziah 20 March 2009 ************************************************* The text messages were transmitted between Najib's personal mobile phone (+6012 2143177) and Shafee's mobile phone (+6012 3257052). Wednesday 8/11/2006 Najib to Shafee (S2N) Date: 8/11/2006 02:59:31 Dato Seri, The Razak Baginda thing is troubling me. Can I help? Salam, Shafee Najib to Shafee (N2S) Date: 8/11/2006 03:45:05 I will speak with u later tonight. S2N Date: 8/11/2006 03:45:31 Thank you S2N Date: 8/11/2006 06:28:56 Met the investigating officer today. Position is serious for RB. The 3 are highly implicated. RB's case can be fought. There are redeeming features for him. But we need to meet Dato Seri as there are other looming issues at large. But not to worry.  Salam > Shafee N2S Date: 8/11/2006 21:06:11 I have spoken to IGP. U can represent n meet RB in court. Thursday 9/11/2006 N2S Date: 9/11/2006 12:45:30 If RB's remand is upto Sunday, does it mean that he has to be charged by Fri or be released? i hope it is looking better for him. S2N Date: 9/11/2006 13:11:23 3 things can happen. Firstly, they can ask for more time for detention. We will resist. Second, they have to release him by Friday or thirdly charge him by Friday. Police took him to his office for document search. Nothing incriminating found. Now they are recording stmt from him. Later search in house. Under control so far Dato Seri.  Salam, shafee S2N Date: 9/11/2006 14:09:03 Dato Seri, Re RB need to meet up with you today. shafee N2S Date: 9/11/2006 14:17:47 630 pm at my house in PJaya this evening. S2N Date: 9/11/2006 14:18:21 Thank you Friday 10/11/2006 N2S Date: 10/11/2006 15:14:3 Any news about RB ? S2N Date: 10/11/2006 15:19:40 Dato Seri, Negotiating for conditional release. If not police need 2 or 3 more days extention. I suspect its an exercise in public relation as they do not want public to think a VIP was given an easier time. Being a vip under these conditions is a liability. Otherwise we are on track according to plan.  Salam, Shafee N2S Date: 10/11/2006 15:27:01 Thanks, he is very stressful according to his wife n would be a huge help if he could get a conditional release latest by sun. N2S Date: 10/11/2006 21:35:52 Saw the news on tv. RB was sent for DNA. Not sure it was neccessary. S2N Date: 10/11/2006 21:40:19 Unnessasary. But I think its on his lung infection. He has just been sent again to HUKM. Will know more later from inside contacts. Saturday 11/11/2006 S2N Date: 11/11/2006 03:17:56 Dato Seri, I was at ghkl ccu 4th floor.RB was admitted due to lung infection:mild pneumonia and asthmatic. This was the pain he was suffering in the chest and unexplained coughing for months. He is under an able physician Dato Dr Jeyaindran Sinnadurai(head of Dept of Medicine)Its good he is resting there than in the lockup. Dna was done to eliminate that he was at scene of crime (paternity can be ruled out as well).Need to see Dato Seri on some concerns. Salam. Shafee N2S Date: 11/11/2006 08:54:17 ANy chance of a release by sun ? S2N Date: 11/11/2006 08:58:14 Police should release him by then except that I think the police is disturbeb by Media and public pressure. Other factors need be coomunicated to Dato Seri in person. Investigation wise we are on track for release. S2N Date: 11/11/2006 09:26:52 It is clear that the Police will ask for extention t'row. I will resist strongly in view of the fact that the last few days investigation on RB have completed investigations that require RB's presence in custody. Secondly, from yesterday the Police has done nothing much with him except to do the dna. Thirdly, I am concerned with the Police carelessness yesterday in allowing the 3 other suspects to be freely mixing and therefore tainting their subsequent stmnts as they could be 'group coached'. But it also show Police no longer need to isolate the suspects. Even RB was handcuffed to the C/I. Salam. Shafee N2S Date: 11/11/2006 11:46:48 I Can see u today at my Taman duta hse at 6 pm. S2N Date: 11/11/2006 11:59:08 OK Dato Seri. Insyaallah I will be there. Sunday 12/11/2006 S2N Date: 12/11/2006 13:53:41 2 days extention to Tuesday. They must release him by then maybe conditionally. Police asked for full 14days.He has message.   S2N Date: 12/11/2006 14:06:23 Will give Dato Seri in a while S2N Date: 12/11/2006 15:10:17 0320949418 Monday 13/11/2006 S2N Date: 13/11/2006 15:53:36 Am in his office now. Another search. AG will be unwilling to charge and lose a case yet again. It is a good idea to suggest to AG to hood on and let investigtion proceed with Razak Released on Bond. N2S Tel: 60122143177 Date: 13/11/2006 16:23:29 How was the search ? S2N Date: 13/11/2006 16:25:56 We provided them everything, including old pda and note books and a couple of bills. Nothing incriminating. Wednesday 15/11/2006 S2N Date: 15/11/2006 13:21:32 Things going as expected.2 male officer charged for murder in common intention. Razak's name not in. Lady officer released but rearrested under Emergency Ordinance to be used as Crown witness (exactly as predicted). I am expecting RB to be released on Bond. 4 of my lawyers are watching brief the proceedings in the murder case. Rb matter prob t'row. Pl call.  Shafee Ps coming back now from Taipei. N2S Date: 15/11/2006 23:31:09 So hopefully he will be released tmrw? S2N Date: 15/11/2006 23:34:38 Dato Seri, I am driving up from S'pore, no more flight to KL tonight. Hope for th best.

N2S Date: 16/11/2006 10:53:50 Pls do not say anything to the press today. i will explain later. RB will have to face a tentative charge but all is not lost. S2N Date: 16/11/2006 10:54:30 OK, TQ Friday 17/11/2006 S2N Date: 17/11/2006 10:50:30 Dato Seri, Its important you speak to Yusoff Zainal Abidin as he knows the law a lot better in the Chambers. I am confident he is concerned with the negligible evidence agst Razak. The Raja Mahani and Tengku Ariston cases ought to be the guiding critera for AG. They cannot afford another scandallous loss by the Prosecution as in Norita, Ariston, Dato Balwant etc. N2S Date: 17/11/2006 11:39:46 OK will try. Meanwhile try to console the wife. She is hysterical. S2N Date: 17/11/2006 11:41:29 I know Dato Seri.I will do everything I can.Salam, Shafee S2N Date: 17/11/2006 12:57:49 Dato Seri, Razak has not been sent to Hospital. He is clearly not well. He is refusing to take Prison's medicine for fear of sabourtage. The chief Physician of GHKL Dato Dr Jaya Sinnadurai is shocked that they have not brought Razak back to GHKL. I have spoken to Haji Darussalam, Sg Buloh's Prison Director. Can You sound this to Dato Radzi Shek Ahmad? Need to see you of s'thing that I think had happened that led to her death. Utterly shocking if I am right. Shafee S2N Date: 17/11/2006 15:45:34 Dato Seri, I am at Sg Buloh Prison. I have organised Razak to be in HUKL, He is on his way there now. The Pengarah Hj Darussallam and deputy Supt Gunasegaran very helpful. Shafee N2S Date: 17/11/2006 21:27:02 My regards to him.. He Is always in my thought. S2N Date: 17/11/2006 21:34:44 Will tell him Sunday 19/11/2006 S2N Date: 19/11/2006 16:25:08 Dato Seri, I need Dsp Musa, your ADc to call me to clarify a point. He is not answering  Shafee Monday 20/11/2006 S2N Date: 20/11/2006 13:02:33 Any developement Dato Seri? Shafee N2S Date: 20/11/2006 14:30:20 Not yet.
