Hang the police first

Have no delusions about it. The enemy is the Malaysian police. Those are the people we must first bring down if we want to bring down the regime called Barisan Nasional. Malaysians must declare war on the Malaysian police.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Take a walk back into history. Look at how the USSR held on to power. Look at how the Shah of Iran held on to power. Look at how Saddam held on to power. Look at how Marcos held on to power. Look at how Sukarno and then Suharto held on to power. Look at the last 5,000 years of the recorded history of mankind and look at how any regime holds on to power. And you will discover one common denominator. And that common denominator is a violent police force that serves the regime in any way that is required, legal or otherwise.

And that is the situation in Malaysia today.

Then look at how these regimes were brought down. Only when the police changed sides or were ‘neutralised’ did the regimes fall. Only when the unholy alliance between the regime and the police was broken did the regimes fall. So there are no two ways about it. History has taught us so. Regimes do not fall unless the back of the police force is broken. So, to bring down the regime, you must first bring down the police.

And yesterday’s event at the Perak State Assembly was the last straw. The manner the police treated the lawmakers from Pakatan Rakyat was the final nail in the coffin of the Malaysian police force as far as I am concerned.

It is not that I do not know how brutal the police can be. After all, I have been their ‘guest’ more than once and my own son is being subjected to frequent beatings in the Sungai Buloh Prison at the hands of the police as a means to get back at me. And look at the high incidence of extra-judicial killings in Malaysia the last many years. If this can’t convince you that the police act as executioners outside the judicial system then nothing will.

Najib Tun Razak is now the Prime Minister instead of sitting in jail for conspiracy to cover up the real story behind the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu because of the police. And the Chief Conspirator to this cover-up is none other than the IGP himself, Musa Hassan. This was told to me personally by the Honorary Consul of Mongolia to Malaysia, Datuk Syed Rahman Alhabshi. And he told me in no uncertainty that he had given Musa Hassan a thick dossier of evidence that has now been buried and has not been allowed to surface in the murder trial.

Let me make this very clear. Najib is Prime Minister instead of sitting in jail because of Musa Hassan and the Malaysian police. And Musa Hassan is behind the brutality against the opposition. And what happened in Perak yesterday should be proof enough to convince you in case you are not already convinced by now.

Musa Hassan must be sent to jail. And he knows he will be sent to jail if Barisan Nasional were to be placed in the most unfortunate situation of being sent into the opposition aisle and Pakatan Rakyat takes over as the government. So it is in Musa Hassan’s interest that Pakatan Rakyat does not replace Barisan Nasional as the government. And he will do anything under the sun to ensure this would never happen.

There are those who say I have gone underground to ‘escape punishment’ for the allegation I made against Najib and Rosmah in relation to the Altantuya murder. That’s what they want to make you believe. But this has nothing to do with my sedition or criminal defamation trials. I have gone underground because I know they want to detain me without trial under the Internal Security Act to stop me from getting further evidence on how the police helped cover up the facts behind the Altantuya murder.

But the facts will not remain hidden for long. Before Christmas this year the facts will surface. Malaysians will be told the truth behind the Altantuya murder. Malaysians will see the evidence of how Musa Hassan and the Malaysian police made sure that Najib would become the Prime Minister instead of sitting in jail for conspiracy to cover up an act of murder.

It is too late for them to stop us now. Even if I disappear today it will not prevent the facts from surfacing. The last eight months that I spent underground were not to idle my time away. The facts are all now in. We are just putting everything together into a neat little package to present to Malaysians. And, once we present it to Malaysians, everyone will see the role Musa Hassan and the police played in covering up the murder of Altantuya to save those behind the murder from being sent to jail.

Recently, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad lamented that Malaysia has been turned into a police state. Mahathir, one time Malaysian Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years, is upset that the police are running this country and is helping prop up what Mahathir viewed as an illegal regime. This is Mahathir’s view. And this has always been my view as well. And I shall do Mahathir a favour. I shall help Mahathir prove what he said is true. Mahathir shall be proven that what he said was the gospel and that Malaysia is a police state and that the police are helping to prop up an illegal and violent regime.

And never mind if Najib and his gang of conspirators goes to jail or not. That is secondary as far as I am concerned. Musa Hassan has to be the first to go to jail. He must be sent to jail because he is the Chief Conspirator in the cover up of the Altantuya murder. Then the others can go to jail.

The Malaysian police are a bunch of gangsters in uniform. They are in fact worse than gangsters. Even gangsters have some sort of ethics. If you have ever mingled with them you will know what I mean. The gangsters in uniform, however, have absolutely no ethics whatsoever. And to make it even worse, these gangsters in uniform prostate in prayer fives times a day and face Mekah and imagine themselves as God’s chosen people who have been guaranteed a place in heaven no matter what sins and crimes they commit.

I have been to jail before. And jail is where the worst types of people and scum of society are housed. But many a time these so-called scum of society have proven to be better people than those gangsters in uniform. I have, in fact, been given 24 hours, around the clock protection by those you would regard as scum of society. They stood outside my cell while I slept to ensure that no harm comes to me and to ensure, to quote their own words, I can live to continue the fight for a better Malaysia.

Yes, what irony. Those we would rather lock up and throw the key away have proven to be my saviours in prison who protect me from those in uniform. This is what prison has taught me. It taught me I am able to trust my life in the hands of gangsters, robbers and kidnappers while I must never turn my back on those in uniform.

Have no delusions about it. The enemy is the Malaysian police. Those are the people we must first bring down if we want to bring down the regime called Barisan Nasional. Malaysians must declare war on the Malaysian police. And all is fair in love and war. And Musa Hassan’s head must be the first to roll. And once we separate his head from his neck then the regime will crumble. And only then will those behind the many murders at the hands of the police be brought to justice.
