THE CORIDORS OF POWER
Bukit Aman Deep Throat
In Part 12 of the series of exposes on the MACC (http://www.malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/35152-part-12-surat-terbuka-dato-mat-zain-bin-ibrahim), RPK posted a letter by Dato’ Mat Zain bin Ibrahim, the former Police Senior Assistant Commissioner II (SAC II), who was once the Officer-in-Charge of Criminal Investigations (OCCI) Kuala Lumpur, where he accused former IGP Musa Hassan and Attorney-General Gani Patail of destroying the criminal justice system.
There are many others. Yet none of them will be prosecuted because they are all part of the syndicate that manipulates the criminal justice system to serve an end. Malaysia Today will now reveal an interesting story on why we cannot trust our law enforcement agencies, especially the AG Gani Patail, now that one-third of that Unholy Trinity, Musa Hassan, has been bundled off.
That the ACA, now known as the MACC, is also a party to false prosecution is not something new. What happened to lawyer Rosli Dahlan who was brutally arrested and charged for defending his client, Dato’ Ramli Yusuff, is not the first. The only difference is that Rosli Dahlan is fighting back. He is not taking things lying down as some have done in the past.
RPK, private investigator P. Balasubramaniam, the 12 police officers (acquitted on charges of framing Musa Hassan), and Rahimi Osman (Anwar Ibrahim's former aide) are not the first to have made explosive revelations in a Statutory Declaration (SD). The ‘founder’ of another explosive SD is Datuk Abdul Murad Khalid, the former Assistant Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia (see the SD below).
The Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-1999 saw Anwar Ibrahim being sacked as the Deputy President of UMNO, the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, and also as Finance Minister. The streets of Kuala Lumpur were burned by angry protestors who saw gross injustice of the highest order committed by those at the highest echelons of political power.
That triggered the Reformasi movement.
To discredit Anwar, the Police, the MACC (then known as the ACA), and the AG Chambers resorted to ‘creative’ evidence gathering. One of the measures was to fabricate evidence against Anwar. Another was to extort incriminating evidence against him. And in some cases a combination of both.
Some were done with the tacit approval of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Some were carried out by ‘entrepreneurs’ seeking to gain favour with Dr Mahathir. Datuk Abdul Murad Khalid’s case is the most startling of them all.
The modus operandi was simple. The MACC asked Murad to declare all his assets. However, that declaration was deemed incomplete and Murad was charged for failing to declare a ‘hidden’ asset.
The mainstream media played up the story and maligned Murad further. A ‘white knight’ then appeared on the scene to offer help in return for which Murad had to make various accusations against Anwar. The charge was then withdrawn. Murad was whisked into oblivion. And the SD could then be used whenever needed during any general or by-election.
Simple enough? So what’s the story?
When Murad was charged, he was worried that his wife and only son would be in danger. Who wouldn’t? He was just a banker caught in a web of political deceit. Along came an ex-Special Branch officer who had left the Police Force and is now a practicing lawyer.
His name? Lawyer Adam Bachik.
Adam is a very smart man. His years in the Special Branch had taught him how to leverage on Murad’s fear. Adam approached the infamous lawyer, VK Lingam, who was Tan Sri Vincent Tan of Berjaya’s confidante. That brought Adam into Vincent Tan’s close circle.
Adam told Vincent Tan that Murad had evidence that can be used to crucify DSAI. Vincent Tan told Dr Mahathir. However, Dr Mahathir wanted written proof.
This amplified Adam’s importance to Murad and Vincent Tan who had to deliver written proof of what he had told Dr Mahathir. Adam, being a very smart man, would cut deals from all these stakeholders.
Adam convinced Murad that all this is part of the government’s plan and that Murad would be freed of the charge once he did what is required of him. Based on Murad’s knowledge of Anwar, VK Lingam crafted an embellished story as set out in the SD. By then VK Lingam and Vincent Tan had become friends of Gani Patail and Musa Hassan, who were respectively the chief prosecutor and chief investigator of Sodomy I.
Murad signed and delivered the much needed SD. To his mind, an embellished story of Anwar hiding RM3 billion was just too incredible and would not be believed by the right thinking public. So he thought it was alright to sign the SD.
Murad was not fully aware of the implications of his actions. He just wanted to save himself and for the charge against him to be withdrawn. Adam is a very careful and competent ex-Special Branch man. To ensure that Murad was ‘safe’ and would not change his story (as what had happened in PI Bala’s case), Adam arranged for Murad to be sent to Singapore, the very day he signed the SD, in Vincent Tan’s armour-plated, bullet-proof car.
Adam also made arrangements with the immigration authorities on both sides of the Causeway for Murad’s ‘disappearance’. Murad was fearful that he would be assassinated without a trace and insisted that his son accompany him into Singapore.
If the mainstream media disputes what Malaysia Today says, go interview Murad himself.
For successfully delivering Murad, Vincent Tan became Dr Mahathir’s trusted friend and saviour. For saving Dr Mahathir during a turbulent time in Malaysia’s politics, Vincent secured all the major projects from Dr Mahathir, which made Berjaya the big, strong company that it is today.
Everyone benefited, a real win-win situation for all, except for Anwar.
Adam was appointed to the board of several of Berjaya’s subsidiaries and was given the conveyancing work for numerous big projects, which made him filthy rich.
VK Lingam was credited with being the architect of this ‘legal plan’ and became Berjaya’s lead counsel -- which saw Berjaya and Vincent Tan winning all the court cases handled by Lingam. Lingam became very rich and also powerful enough to be able to determine that his friends were strategically placed in the hierarchy of PDRM, the AG Chambers and the Judiciary.
Thus, Musa Hassan became the IGP and Gani Patail became the AG.
VK Lingam also ‘arranged’ who would be the next Judge and Chief Justice, which was what we saw in the Loh Guo Burne’s videoclip. As the syndicate is still active in fixing appointments at the courts, Malaysia Today will reserve this story for the future.
That is why RPK left the country and refused to be judged by judges who are not fit to sit in judgement against him. And that is also why you will see nothing happening to VK Lingam despite the findings of the Royal Commission on the ‘Lingam Tapes’.
