Malaysian top news headlines

If the government is serious in pursuing a more democratic and open Malaysia, then the Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA) and the Official Secrets Act (OSA) should be abolished too.What people says?

Tan Kim Keong He’s right on the OSA. However his intention regarding strengthening preventive elements with regards to the new law is only from one perspective i.e. not to question anything to do with Ketuanan Melayu or institutionalised racial discrimination. He sees standing up for one’s equal right under the Malaysian sun as a threat or encroachment to him, his race and his kind. Racism is written all over in his intention.

Malaysian Born Nothing of the kind, this sly bufoon is indirectly wanting the new laws to be used to stifle the opposition, For the record the ISA was for dealing with the security of the country against the communist and terrorist threat, nothing more. It is not meant to cover islam and bumiputra rights. If anyone does anything against a specific law then that law should be used to prosecute them. He is trying to say preventive laws are needed, in other words any excuse to lock your opponents up without trial. The last people I want to ask for advice where it comes to this is the police, it is there job to prove the case, not use preventive measures without trial. Really why is this muff being given face and time. Give him his tokens and chair outside the toilet and be done with him.

David Dass Ibrahim Ali ! Inconsistency is thy name. Yesterday he opposed liberalization. Today he supports it. He wants the Official Secrets Act and the University and Colleges Acts repealed. Critics of the OSA have always said that the OSA must not provide cover for questionable governmental activity. The Rakyat have called for more open and transparent government. We now have a Freedom of Information Act in Selangor. As for the University and Colleges Act there have been many calls for its repeal or at least for its more offensive provisions to be amended. University autonomy is universally regarded as an essential attribute for a center of higher learning. Lecturers and students have to experience their own empowerment to unleash their intelligence and creativity. No such noble purpose for Ibrahim Ali. There are close to a million undergraduates. He remembers his student days. And thinks that he can rabble rouse these undergraduates. Good luck to him. Students are smarter and more aware today.

JusticeKini YES- for the first time I can agree with Ibrahim Ali but with a caveat- Ibrahim Ali MUST GO TOO. His warped thinking that the two new acts must include protection of Islam and special rights which are all in the constitution. Does Allah needs a nincompoop like Ali to protect Islam? Are all Malays so insecure and greedy like him to have “protection” for their rights. The all powerful Ghadafi of Libya and Mubarak of Egypt are all now a footnote in history. Ibrahim Ali must learn that the concepts of race n religion supremacy does not jell in a modern cosmopolitan world. Liberty, equality, fraternity! are the cries during the French Revoultion and they are still relevent in today’s world as evident in Libya, Egypt, Syria etc. The people are rising against the UMNOputras not becos of race n religion but becos of corruption nepotism n elitism.

PM Najib: Prepaid tax not gov’t decision, wants review? What people says about this??

Mr KJ John How can Civil Society “deploy accounting firms” to review the Annual Reports of these public listed firms to ascertain if this kind of “stealing in broad daylight is not the same as “looting in London?” How much profits are enough? “Small is Beautiful” says FF Schumacher! As Civil Society, we say enuf is enuf!

skong Astro & Maxis are already charging 6% months ago. Do they have the right?

Onyourtoes Kuduka, I do not work for a telco. I am just looking at tax equity and efficiency. Has it ever occurred to you that managing all the prepaid customers probably required higher operating and incidental costs than managing post paid customers and therefore requiring other compensating revenue to keep the business viable? In any case, we are barking at the wrong tree. There are many things more urgent and important for us to look at than prepaid service tax. It is a red herring; the government just wants to show that it is sensitive to the lower income groups, more so the financial burden is not on the government. By the way, if you are a service provider, is it fair to you if the government has asked you to pay the service tax on behalf of your customers when it is the government who is pocketing the tax?

If the government can routinely ask the telcos to do it, can it not ask you too because your customers can also be complaining that the cost of living in the country is raising and they can’t make both ends meet. Cost of living issues are very complex probably requiring much more comprehensive solutions. It also requires how individuals, particularly those earning less, to learn how to manage their money better. It is my humble observation that many lower income earners spend too lavishly and unnecessarily. I have a better idea on how we could help the lower income groups to spend less and save more and hurt the telcos – just ask them to talk less over the phones; in most cases it is sheer waste of time and unproductive anyway.

Western NGOs are stepping up pressure on the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to cut ties with its landlord Wallysons Inc, linked to Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud’s family.

What people says about this?

Anticommunalist One thing is for sure Taib Mahmud certainly has some very powerful and influential enemies that is constantly tracking all his evil misdeeds.

Lexicon The US must take note of human rights abuses taking place in Sarawak – rape of the Penan, land grabs, violence against those who resist – even if this is halfway across the world. Does the FBI intend to send a message that it supports those leaders who are responsible for these human rights abuses, by contributing to their fortune and renting their overseas assets?

Feelletdownbybn For MACC is difficult to gether evidence on this family.But very swift on TBH.Mind you they work round the clock,in between watching blue film! Sampai bila pun orang tak percaya MACC.Boss MACC kan dap at award and among the top most influential man in the world!Of course the organization yang bagi award to is a profit oriented organization.Meaning money is involved.So what do you expect from MACC. Latest,the AG pula renovate Rumah 2nd wife at Seremban 2,paid by group from Ho Hup,so what can you expect from AG Chambers. Apa nak jadi Dengan 1Malaysial. Best option Kick BN out!

DAP Kinta Valley in Perak is questioning whether electoral system is being manipulated due to a recent surge of postal voters in the Ipoh Timor parliamentary seat, and in particular its Canning state seat.

What do people says about this?

S Vellu They must be planting Armed Forces votes in the Army camps in Ashby Road and fake postal policemen votes in Sg Senam. I am a voter theer and my vote goes to the Opposition, whoever its is

docs Better check, I’m sure in addition to the postal voters, the phantom voters, dead voters, Red and Green IC holders & voters and centenarian voters numbers should have increased in Ipoh.

Disgusted More policemen and army personnel with their families sent to Ipoh Timor? Is BN expecting it to be a war zone? Intending to cheat using postal votes as usual. Why should Army and police personnel and thier families be allowed to vote via postal manner. Their residences are all near polling stations and not stationed in some jungle area far away from voting stations. Besides are family members are they actively engaged in such duties to be postal voters. Postal votes should only be applied to army personnel who are in remote areas on duty or overseas on duty such as UN missions. The rest should go to polling stations and vote like every one else. In that way they are free to vote without some being appointed by their chiefs to mark the ballots for them. That is pure cheating and depriving the individual from making their independent decision as to who they want to vote. This sort of cheating should be put to an end by EC. But then do they dare?

A British lawyer representing the outlawed Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) who was barred from entering Malaysia to see his clients has lambasted the Malaysian government in a critical commentary on influential British daily The Guardian.

What people says about this?

Dr.Irwan Hj Jusoh I think as Malaysians we should question the real motive of the immigration to have deported a human rights lawyer. Waytha Moorthy , you Sir, have shone the ugly spotlight on Malaysia. Congratulation

Dr Suresh Kumar This story has been hogging the limelight for more than a week, even appearing in international media, yet the Malaysian Bar Council and Ambiga, who are usually very vocal are in a deafening silent mode. Even though Imran is a British citizen, but he came all the way to represent his Malaysian clients. The bar council as a responsible professional body should therefore speak up against such, humiliating and deplorable behaviour of the authority against a human rights lawyer, regardless of his nationality. Ambiga herself has gone through such a humiliation, and knows first-hand how it feels like to be denied entry, what more for a person who flew from thousands of kilometres away and to be treated in that manner with blatant disregard for his rights. And to further humiliate him. He was classified as a ‘prohibited immigrant’. This is totally unacceptable by any standard. I wonder why the Bar council, Ambiga, the human rights NGOs, etc are awfully in total silence?

JusticeKini Tourism Malaysia will be changing its slogan soon from “Malaysia Truly Asia” to “Malaysia – Truly Racist”. As long as UMNO practises a policy that promotes the supremacy of a race over others, there will be no future for the next generation. My children are 4th generation Malaysians have less rights than a 1st generation Malaysian-born Indonesian Muslim who became the Selangor Menteri Besar and 1st generation Malaysian-born Indian Muslim became the Prime Minister of Malaysia. That’s why there is now 1 million skilled Malaysians working overseas and 3 million low-skilled migrant labour working in Malaysia. Now even the illegal ones out-numbered the legal migrant labour and they can get blue ICs and vote. Very soon Malaysia will be part of Indonesia (which became a republic). We will be sowing the seeds and I assure u reaping the harvest will be a nightmare. BECAREFUL UMNO- Indonesians have great experience in throwing out their Presidents. haha! The one who laughs last laughs best

Perak Mufti Harussani Zakaria had once advised Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak that it is the government’s “weaknesses” and “corrupt” practices that have divided the Malay community, he revealed today.

What people says about this issue?

Malaysian Born Well this chap likes the sound of his voice and is one of the most crass political opportunists in the country. He enjoys coming out with controversial statements using non-muslims as his favorite boogeymen. For him to openly turn on the prime minister is an indication that he has now collected his fee of 30 pieces of silver and is now doing his masters bidding. Looks like an internal struggle in UMNO. For him to say that he advised prime ministers is a joke, he is a class clown who knows how to manipulate racial and religious sensitivities, he represents the lowest form of political tool and these days spends his time stirring discontent and fear among the lower income group and rural muslims. What a shame that a low life like this is given such prominence and face when vermin like him should be shown the door.

David Dass The problem was and is not Islam. The problem is one Mufti Harrussani Zakariah. This is not the first time that he has tried to stir up trouble between Muslims and non Muslims. He was the one who sent out a text message – saying that thousands of Muslims had been converted into Christianity and that a Catholic Church in Ipoh was baptizing Muslims. That caused a crowd of Muslims to gather around the Church during a service scaring the congregation. Whose interest does it serve to allow someone like this to spew so much garbage without penalty or sanction ? How does Islam or the nation benefit from tension between the races or from polarization or from people emigrating because they cannot take this constant attempt by some to stoke the fires of racial and religious hatred ? There are contrary voices but in the nature of things discordant and raucous voices are the loudest. There is no spiritual law that says people of different faiths cannot live together peacefully and harmoniously.

Wong Yoke Leong I hope the Perak Mufti was wrongly quoted when he said that non muslims are cruel according to the Quran. I have many non muslim friends and I can sincerely say that they are definitely not cruel. Statements like this causes religious tensions. Sigh!

4thForce Many people who commented here didn’t attend the forum and look how they lambasted not only the mufti but also Islam based on what is reported by Malaysiakini. Qur’an gives warning and reminders to all humanity but I don’t recall Qur’an states non-muslims being cruel simply because they are non-Muslims. Reporting on interpretation of Qur’an verses by people who are not knowledgable would result in this gross misunderstanding. I would advise Malaysiakini to be careful in this area and not simply report without clarifying. You could be held responsible for irresponsible journalism.

ANONIMOUS Z How sad it is for Malaysia these days! Why does he keep talking of Malays split? Isn’t it should be Malaysians split? Also he is only interested in Malay Muslims to come together. He does not even want the Mamak-Muslims or other non-Malay Muslims to come together. What a real extreme racist under the pretext of religious supremacy. So, to all our Mamak-Muslims and non-Malay Muslims or non-pure blood Malay Muslims, all of you are considered 2nd class Muslims in Malaysia. It is just like in Middle East, the Gulf region, all non-Arab Muslims including the pure Malay-Muslims are 2nd class Muslims.

Simon Lee 3ed5 And what this Islamic “hero” is now trying to only preach is half of the Malays supports corruption?! And which half are you standing on Mr Mufti? If you are trully a man of Allah who practise & live by the tenets of Islam, you should call for all Muslims to vote for PR, while it may not be perfect, but at least the party is incorrupt & sincere, unlike Umno,a party of corrupt & filthy $$billionaires! As you had confirmed & declared the govt is corrupt, for Allah’s sake, why didn’t you demand the $24 million diamond ring, the $100K handbags & the $200billions of the nation’s wealth that were plundered be returned to the rakyat & the corrupt charged? Where were you, Man of Allah, all these 54 years, when the nation’s bleed & every institution of our nation is corrupt & collapsed, countless killed in custody & the many sins & criminal acts perpetuated against the rakyat & Islam by Umno? A leader who supports a corrupt party & condones corruption & every evil betrays Allah!

wfworker All leaders whatever their belief must look at the mirror FIRST before running down people with different belief; do note the time span that separate the gap between civilizations. If there are civilizations that had lasted longer than your own; surely it provides you an indicator. Being over sensitive about oneself while ‘jabbing’ in the air does not reflect any depth of thinking. Anyway, one can claim anything in this world or the next world; the majority of the population in this world can only smile and judge as such conclusion from such a LEARNERED man! anyway that is your claim!

Malay language daily Sinar Harian today apologised for publishing an information text box accusing the ‘Christian movement’ of, among others, permitting prostitution and encouraging free mingling between the sexes.

What people says:

1M – If an insult of half the magnitude is to be done on them, I bet they will come out in groups all over the country shouting “Don’t test our patience” or “Don’t take our silence as timidity” or “Balik Cxxx” and so forth. Imagine you call them prosxxxxxx … I dare not think what will be the outcome. But when they do the same to others, they just have to apologoize the following day on page 8. Those Christian ministers in Najib’s cabinet should say something, they should not keep silent while watching their fellow brothers and sisters being intimidated and insulted like this.

DannyLoHH – Recalling the recent blunder committed by the Star, where we see bigots burning newspaper in the name of defending Islam, it shows character that I have yet to see Christians going out onto the street shouting bloodshed and arson over Sinar Harian malicious slanders. What is done by Sinar Harian is many times worse than the editorial error of the Star, but the Christians do not react in the same manner, not yet. And I pray that the Christians would keep their level headedness. The apology from Sinar Harian is not sincere enough. Especially, when the apology is buried in page 8, considering the scale and the viciousness of the malice against the Christians in the slander. If Sinar Harian is sincere in apologizing, they should publish the apology on their front page, not buried it deep in page 8.

Ferdtan – Sinar Harian is playing guerrilla tactics: ambush and then run. To apologise saying that it is an error and putting the apology in page 8 is certainly not sincere. Minister of Home Affairs,Hishammuddin Hussein who had been so quick to draw his gun at issues like the recent ‘The Star’s food supplement’ and the cow’s head demonstration seems to lose his tongue once again at a such a convenient time.So who is next in line to take potshots to ‘ambush and run’ at the convenient target: the minority group of Christianity faith.This type of propaganda is akin to telling deliberate repeated lies enough times and audacious enough will be believed by the masses.Joseph Goebbels of Nazi Germany would be proud of such tactics.

Chicharito-I used to read Sinar Harian when it was 1st launched as its coverage in politics was beyond the norms of Berita Harian or Utusan. Now, not anymore. If you need newspaper to wrap that nasi lemak or to cover your fruits in the ochard farm from bats or other pest, then I suggest u use the useless Sinar Harian………

Anonymous-Anything of religion can not be published without extensive research and cross-check of facts first. It is damn unethical to write something that have wide circulation. Having said something that is false and then say sorry is not good enough for the media industry. I just lose faith in any local main stream media reporting anything. The way that they are behaving, none of us should read and watch them.

mohd-The problem with people who thinks other people are stupid…these kind of idiots are all over the world…people who said and do something that hurt sensitivity of other people’s religion and then quickly apologize saying that that’s not what they mean (if they even apologize while some even refused to do so). It has been rampant in the west and this disease has already embodied in the our culture now.

NX-Sinar Harian, the christians are not easily offended by all the stupidity that is churned out by media like you, Utusan and other ignorant muslim NGO’s. We know our Faith, we know our GOD and we know WHOM we believeth and WHO paid the price of our sins at the CROSS and WHO ressurrected on the third day. My advice is read the bible with a open mind and ,most important ask GOD to reveal himself to you i.e if you truly want to know.

Anonymous_3e06- Tomorrow you will write something and apology the following day. Christians know what they teach and what they practice. They do not need this rubbish of a paper whose writers do not have the professionalism to do their research and interview the christians to find out what they believe and what they practice as follows of Jesus. They christians will never do that to our Muslim brothers ans sister and believe. That is the basic teaching of Jesus LOVE

dood – We are all awaiting Hishammuddin’s response to the apology and will expect no less (to be fair, of course) that he tell Sinar Harian that the apology is “not enough”, more needs to be done and that Christians are angry and upset over it. We are also awaiting Perkasa’s response and expect them to be burning copies of Sinar Harian and handing over memorandums to the newspaper’s representatives.

Argonist – Well, it is up to the Christian organisations to collectively sue the newspapers for the abject lies and filth denigrating them. An apology should not be accepted and if the government Minister says it is not getting involved as it would be infringing upon the free speech right of the Muslim newspapers, I suggest the Christian newspapers or magazines reply to this onslaught with a rebuttal that clearly specifies the vile nature of the the Editors religious beliefs and practices !!

What you have to say?

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s defence enters its third day today with the prosecution cross-examining forensic pathologist Dr David Wells.

The Australian expert, who is the third defence witness, has yesterday told the court that the alleged semen sample retrieved from sodomy complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan could not have revealed the desired results.

This was because the sample was taken more than two days after the alleged incident.

The alleged sodomy incident happened in the afternoon of June 26, 2008, and the sample was retrieved from Saiful between 9pm and midnight on June 28, 2008.

In addition, he said that the sample was not properly stored in the police station and it was given to chemist for testing two days later.

Dr Wells, who is an expert in the field of sexual assault cases, also testified yesterday that when retrieving samples from alleged victims, he would be working alone and only assisted by nurses. This, he said, was to prevent contamination.

In the case of Saiful, four doctors attended to complainant in retrieving samples in the present of investigating officer Supt Jude Blacious Pereira.

It expected that the prosecution will question Wells on Saiful’s Hospital Kuala Lumpur medical report, which the doctor had described as inaccurate.

After Wells, another Australian expert hired by Anwar, DNA specialist Dr Brian McDonald, is expected to take the witness stand.

LIVE REPORTS
8.46am: It is learnt that former Malacca police chief Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof, who has been subpoenaed to testify, is also in the witness room.

He was the aide de camp for then deputy prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, who met Saiful in a hotel a day after the complainant met Najib.

8.50am: The prosecution team led by solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden are in court.

8.55am: Defence lawyer Sankara Nair arrives with Dr David Wells in tow.

8.59am: Anwar arrives with his wife, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. Also present in the courtroom is Johor PKR chief Chua Jui Meng.

9.03am: Court called into session with High Court justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah presiding…

What People say:

43Hours -The more Najib bashes Anwar the more votes he is going to loose……look at the ex IMF DSK case, it is thrown out because of the victim’s flip-flops and hsitory…..is Saiful a creadible person, meet PM & wife b4 files case…go figure it out……people are not stupid…..

Anonymous_3e4b- What this Yusof guy referring to books where there is no injury. Here shit-full specifically said he felt pain while shitting. When there is pain , surely there is injury to the skin surface and the 4 cartoon Drs said no sign of penetration. So which is which?? If got pain, surely got sign of injury. If no pain, than shit-full also syok being sodomised slow and steady….but here shit-full said “laju dan rakus”!!!!!

Mirror thyself -Yusof should request the assistance of MACC’s Razak as Razak would be able to do the physical demonstration like how he (Razak) showed how Teoh Beng Hock could have hanged himself. That’s intellectual……he…he..he..

CHKS -As a medical doctor, I fully agree with Wells, how can you extrapolate a principle just based on an anecdotal case report? Furthermore the case was reported 30 years ago! Yusof, if u have a disease, would you want a treatment proposed 30 years ago, just because treatment was proved effective just in 1 out of millions patients?

Kit P- Even a layman, let alone an expert of Dr Wells’ stature, can understand the anus is a very dirty and hostile environment to retrieve an unambiguous sample of semen after 48 hours. Either Anwar has super semen or Saiful has a super-clean anus (yeah, after holding his faeces back for more than 48 hours). To me this whole trial goes into “something is not right” status. For a judge to fail to pick this up suggests there are many other external pressures which are being applied.

Disbeliever- Obviously the solicitor-general II, Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden is trying to play the fishing game and doing his best to catch Wells on a wrong footing. But from the cross-examination we can safely say that Wells is indeed a professional and knows what he is saying. The SG II is at his wits end trying to find a flaw in Wells which I’m certain he will fail miserably.

Lakia- Again after slightly over an hour the learned prosecutor asked for another break this time allegedly to check whether he has covered all the areas even though he has with him a number of DPPs. What have he and these DPPs done before this then? Sleeping? or just couldn’t understand what Dr Wells has been explaining or just do not know what question to ask after every questions have been answered very well and not according to their expectation.

AnakMalaysia -The reason why this case can NOT go into Islamic syariah court is that it will be thrown out immediately. With no proof or 4 trusted, credible witnesses watching the act, there would be no case against Anwar, but a major case against Saiful. With the present civil court, they can go on and on with all sort of spinnings, lies even under oath. Poor UmNgok!

COMMENT Malaysia is 47 years old through the unification of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore in 1963. (Singapore was separated from Malaysia in 1965.)

The Kuala Lumpur-Kota Kinabalu-Kuching relationship must be relooked because of the imbalance between the centre and the periphery.

Most importantly, the 20-Point Agreement has been largely ignored in making the Malaysia that we have today.

Initial attempts by Sabah first chief minister Fuad Stephens to do so resulted in him being made Australian High Commissioner.

As a result, there were regressions from Sabah’s 20-Point Agreement and Sarawak’s 18-Point Agreement as seen in the “Allah” controversy and the ban on the Malay language Bible.

Both agreements on religion state that there should be no state religion for Sabah and Sarawak.

The “Borneonisation” of the public service as agreed to in the deal has also been violated. Over the years, more public servants from the peninsula were transferred to Sabah to fill in the void.

What development?

Unfortunately, an ignorant Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Rahim Bakri recently stated that Sabahans in the interiors should be grateful as Sabah’s inclusion in Malaysia had ensured development in the state.

Using development as a bait is wrong because “development is the one term most used by politicians to cheat the people” (quoted from a Malayalam movie).

If development had indeed been provided, why is the road network in both states still bad? My brethren from both Sabah and Sarawak can attest to the fact that Sabah and Sarawak are two decades backwards compared to Peninsular Malaysia.

What development is Rahim speaking about when my brethren over there are still having difficulties to complete 11 years of education?

Contrary to Rahim’s statement, Kuala Lumpur has gained more than Kuching and Kota Kinabalu in the 47-year-old relationship.

The most recent evidence was Barisan Nasional’s slim majority in the 2008 general election, which was only made possible because of the safe deposit votes from Sabah and Sarawak.

In addition, the Mahathir administration should be “thanked” for initiating the IC project that created BN voters out of illegal immigrants from Indonesia and the Philippines

To address the imbalance, more autonomy should be accorded to Sabah and Sarawak. It can be initiated by increasing the petroleum royalty from the current 5% to 20%.

Secession by both Sabah and Sarawak is out of the question as it violates the agreement

“How can we investigate any misconduct if no report is made? If it is true, then why should the public be scared to make a report?” : Selangor CPO Khalid Abu Bakar, addressing allegations of misconduct by police personnel in Selangor, as reported in Malaysiakini.

Khalid was further reported as saying that “The public should not fear to inform the authorities about police misconduct… if they are still scared, then they should communicate directly with me”, and went on to suggest that such information could be channeled to him through his Facebook account.

Khalid, it seems to me, is confused.

Is a police report needed before a matter can be investigated?

Now, RPK reminded us in a post a few days ago that the complaint, on 28th August, last year, by ASP Noor Azizul Rahim Bin Taharim, the ADC (aide-de-camp) of finally – retired IGP Musa Hassan, contained in a statutory declaration and alleging many criminal acts by Musa appears to have been NFA’d ( no further action ) by the police.

RPK’s post and the statutory declaration can be read HERE.

Based on RPK’s posting, it appears that Noor Azizul had sent a copy of his statutory declaration to Dr M who, in turn, passed the same on to former IGP Tun Haniff Omar.

In essence, Noor Azizul has made two very serious allegations in his statutory declaration against Musa.

One, that Musa had inappropriate connections with underworld figures, and that these connections extended to a particular underworld figure making decisions on the promotion, posting and ranking of officers in PDRM.

Two, that Musa had directed a covert operation involving the creation of a blog through which false allegations of corruption were made against then deputy minister of Home Security, Johari Baharom.

RPK says that none of these allegations against Musa were ever investigated.

If RPK is wrong and an investigation had been conducted, someone would have had to be charged.

Either Musa, for being implicated in the matters alleged, if found to be true, or Noor Azizul, for swearing out a false statutory declaration, if an investigation had cleared Musa of the charges.

Neither were charged, thereby suggesting that RPK is right in that this matter was never investigated.

Why?

RPK’s post does not mention any police report being lodged with regard to the matters raised in Noor Azizul’z statutory declaration.

Might that be the official PDRM reason, if an explanation was now sought for not investigating this matter, given CPO Khalid’s poser : How can we investigate any misconduct if no report is made?

Does this now mean that either Musa or Noor Azizul have gotten off scot-free, because someone in PDRM directed that no further action be taken?

Yesterday, brand new IGP Tan Sri Ismail Omar was reported in the Star as saying :“I want all police officers and those in the rank and file to discharge their duties according to the law to upkeep the image of policing” .

All talk?

Test him?

How to investigate if no police report is made, did CPO Khalid say?

Shall we oblige with reports from Kedah in the north through to JB in the south, and in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu,just so our new IGP understands just how seriously we treat this matter and that the image of PDRM under his watch is at stake?

I’d like to hear from you.
