Ass, but not quite Can Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.that he did not conspire with his wife

Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim is continuing his crusade against Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, asking the Attorney General (AG) today to explain the reasons for his chambers filing two affidavits which the retired police officer said was false.

"Should the AG chooses to remain silent nor willing to take any actions, then he and the entire AG’s Chambers must bear the responsibility and consequences for filing false affidavits which was affirmed by Shafee and Ramli. And for allowing the affidavits to be used in the Court of Appeal proceeding," Mat Zain said in a statement in Kuala Lumpur today.

The former Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigations Department chief was referring to the affidavits by Umno lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah and former Commercial Crime Department chief Datuk Ramli Yusuff.

Anwar's lawyer to be charged with sedition

PKR vice-president N Surendran is scheduled to be charged with sedition in a Sessions Court tomorrow for for his comments on the party's de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim's Sodomy II case

Everyone, from great judges to jurists, to downright culprits, have always had a laugh, sometime or the other, that, the law is an ass. Any comment beyond or before is conveniently wrapped up as “contempt”.or Malaysian term sedition An essential spirit that needs to be retained, since senior judges shall be selected by people other than justices (perhaps lobbyists under a different garb), the final scale to watch is the nation’s interest. It may sound unfair to some,Whichever way you see, justice, pure justice, and nothing else but justice is a tricky proposition. The first essential element in a democracy is that it should be “independent” from the legislature, particularly the executive. That is purism of principle. In actual fact at some level of placement or elevation, there shall be participation, direct or indirect, of the other power, that is the executive. The ruling party  concurred. The Chief Justice had to say what he felt, that  system was not bad. He, in his wisdom refrained from commenting on the new one. Prudent and wise. He knew he was a part of the system, and had to survive by the system. On the said turf, Saiful Bukhari Azlanass can be replaced on by another ass. Maybe a bit more bouncy and trained like , to save the embarrassment of collapsing in a tricky pot hole. A horse? No way. He has loyalties. Maybe later, when such times come!

The statements were filed in response to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's application to disqualify Shafee as the deputy public prosecutor in the government's appeal against the opposition leader's acquittal in a sodomy case.

Mat Zain said Gani should remove senior lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah as the lead prosecutor in the sodomy appeal case immediately.

Muhammad Shafee was appointed by the Attorney General's Chambers to represent Putrajaya in appealing the acquittal of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy charges. His appointment has been challenged by Anwar's legal counsel.

"Now that Abdul Gani has discovered Shafee's affidavit to be false, or at the very least that there are strong ground to suspect that the senior lawyer's affidavit to be false, he owes a duty to the court to put the matter right," Mat Zain said.

"Many people may not realise that the affidavits affirmed by Muhammad Shafee and Datuk Ramli Yusoff was filed in court by the Attorney General's Chambers."

Mat Zain added that: "Abdul Gani cannot escape the responsibility of careful investigation and supervision over any affidavits which were filed in court by his office.

"This is especially as it was Abdul Gani who had appointed Muhammad Shafee as the lead prosecutor in the appeal against Anwar's acquittal."

Why Najib and Rosmah Mansor did not the stand say under the court oath that the meeting was not related to events on June 26.why hide under his  his AG's sarong

 Anwar’s lawyer Sankara Nair said the defence would call Najib and Rosmah Mansor to the stand to be grilled for their part in the conspiracy.

The complainant Saiful had met Najib two days before lodging the police complaint that eventually led to Anwar’s arrest. The prime minister had initially denied ever knowing Saiful but as photos of Saiful and his own aides began appearing in cyberspace, Najib U-turned and admitted to the meeting.Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife are not relevant witnesses to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s ongoing sodomy trial, their lawyers claimed today, adding that the duo would not be able to offer any material evidence to the court.

Datuk Hisyam Teh, one of the lawyers representing the Prime Minister and Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in their joint application to avoid testifying, said that the opposition leader has failed to furnish proof that the two were relevant witnesses.

The lawyer said Anwar’s application to compel Najib and wife to testify was merely a “fishing expedition” to seek information.

While Najib admitted to meeting Anwar’s accuser, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, on June 24, 2008  — two days before the alleged sodomy act — the PM’s lawyers stressed that the meeting was not related to events on June 26. read more Lawyers insist Najib, Rosmah not key to Sodomy II | Din ...

The 64-year old Anwar was accused of sodomising his personal aide Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 25, at a plush condo on June 26, 2008 just weeks after Anwar announced his decision to make a parliamentary comeback.

If convicted, Anwar stands to be imprisioned for not less than 5 years and not more than 20 years under section 377B of the Penal Code.

Scores of Anwar supporters had packed the cortroom from as early as 4.30am. Many were from his constituency of Permatang Pauh in Penang. They were obviously upset by the ruling, which they felt insulted the Opposition Leader given the flimsiness of the charges that have been lambasted by world leaders from the United States, UK, Canada, Australia, Sweden to Ireland PKR leaders called for calm. Anwar’s wife and PKR president Wan Azizah told the media that it was another dark day for justice in the country.

Everyone knows Pattail got promoted to AG 
For his role in Anwar’s case for sodomy
Maha Shithead purposely brought him
To stop and kill Anwar Ibrahim

They now trying to do the same scenario
Najis, Musang, Pattail, bastards, the trio
Trying, again to do it all over
But round one went to Anwar’s favour

The judges have become brave and daring
Saying enough is enough to your raping
Of the court and the judiciary
With your repeated cases of sodomy

Pak Lah has not only been sleeping on his job as PM during the last 5 years, he is also very deaf to what the citizens had been crying-out loudly that his AG “practises selective prosecution”.
This serious perception is not only common local-coffee-shop topic but also among foreigners. So if Pak Lah really has ears, he should have heard this talk and should have taken remedial action instead of allowing him to “bermaharajalela” for too long.
So now Pak Lah, you are paying partly for his wrong-doings.

Pak lah left behind a legacy of being the most incompetent Malaysian PM. His circle of advisers and ministers shows him little respect and makes him looks like an idiot. Sad to say he lacks any leadership skills for the job.

..’The govt. must be prepared to review the presently unfettered powers of the AG’
Absolute power in the hands of AG can lead to absolute corruption just as absolute power in the hands of politicans can and will lead to absolute corruption.There must be proper check and balance if truth and justice are to have meaning and value to people who have respect for the system of rule of law.

You trust this Guni 4 Tahil? He was already a crook and a samseng during his school days. His brother was quite o.k.

Mahathir is the REAL culprit who destroyed our judiciary.Current crop of AG, DGP and the crooked police are his products! These shitheads whom are already corrupted to the core should be caught,charged and sentence in open,just and public court.These SOB’s are the living dead and souless bast*rd who won’t even think twice about prostituting their own mothers,daughter and country just for the sake of money! 

PKR leaders called for calm. Anwar’s wife and PKR president Wan Azizah told the media that it was another dark day for justice in the country.

Malaysian judge bars evidence of a political conspiracy in Anwar’s trial

., “The Conspirator“ centers around the aftermath of the  and the country’s search for justice at any cost. Directed by malaysiakita786., the film chronicles the trial and conviction of Anwar Ibrahim,

“The Conspirator” If anyone had any doubts as to the political and biased character of the legal proceedings against former Malaysian deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim then the events of the week should have been enough to dispel them.

The trial restarted on Monday after a break of more than a week to allow defence lawyers time to prepare the case in light of substantial last-minute amendments by the prosecution to the four charges of corruption. The first defence witness to take the stand was Anwar himself who gave evidence and was cross-examined by prosecution lawyers.

The nervousness of the government of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad over Anwar’s testimony was underscored by the decision of Attorney-General Mochtar Abdullah to turn up unexpectedly in court on Monday to take over the leadership of the prosecution team.

Mochtar told the court that he had not done so earlier only because he had previously expected to be called as a witness. But the real reason was all too evident. The Mahathir government had to have one of its own in the court room in order to prevent Anwar from revealing too much about its internal operations. At one point, Mochtar pointedly warned Anwar about divulging “state secrets”.

Anwar, who was sacked from his positions last year and expelled from the ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), is charged with having used his position to influence police to compel two people to withdraw written allegations of sexual misconduct against him. He is also facing a further charge of corruption and five charges of sexual misconduct.

Since he was seized under Malaysia’s draconian Internal Security Act (ISA), Anwar has maintained that he is innocent of all charges. In the course of the prosecution case, his defence lawyers effectively undermined the credibility of the two people who had made the allegations and began to link them to a high-level conspiracy against Anwar involving Mahathir’s private secretary, Finance Minister Daim Zainuddin and Consumer Affairs Minister Megat Junid.

At the end of its case, the prosecution lawyers made a highly unusual application to the presiding High Court judge Augustine Paul to change the wording of the charges so that it was no longer necessary to prove that the original written allegations were true. Not only did Paul agree to the prosecution motion but he also expunged evidence of sexual misconduct from the record. Anwar’s lawyers are now unable to challenge in court the lurid sex stories that have been splashed through the Malaysian media for weeks.

In the course of the last week, Paul has made a series of highly political rulings making it virtually impossible for Anwar to present evidence of a high level plot against him, and thus severely restricting the defence case.

On Monday, Anwar testified that he had encouraged police to look into the allegations even though they were made in letters that were written by his enemies. He stated that he had not asked police to arrest the two who had made the accusations or to force retractions from them.

He explained that as chairman of the committee on government management and corruption he had been privy to many allegations against ministers and state officials. He had been involved in investigating the alleged waste of billions of ringgit in the Department of Public Works and the Ministry of Defence.

The prosecution challenged the testimony, claiming that his position as chairman of the committee was irrelevant to the case. Anwar has alleged that one of the reasons for the conspiracy against him was that officials and ministers feared the committee would expose them. Justice Paul upheld the prosecution objection, thus preventing any details of corrupt activity from being aired on court.

On Tuesday, Anwar gave evidence that in August and September 1997, Special Branch police officers had informed him of a high-level political conspiracy involving Zainuddin and Junid. Earlier in the day he explained that he had met on August 31, 1997 with Mahathir who said the allegations were baseless.

But as the defence lawyers sought to pursue the issues, Justice Paul intervened to block the line of questioning. In a sweeping ruling, he stated: “Evidence of political conspiracy, if any, is irrelevant…the issue of political conspiracy is too remote.” He insisted that Anwar should stick to proving that he never abused his powers to cover up alleged sexual trysts.

Even within the strict terms of the case, the decision is deeply flawed. Senior police claim that Anwar ordered them to extract confessions. He denies it. If Anwar is to prove the police are lying then he has to be able to adduce evidence to explain how and why. By ruling that the defence cannot enter any evidence of a high level conspiracy between the police, government ministers and officials, the judge has denied Anwar any active defence.

Taken within the broader political context of the trial, the judge’s decision directly serves the interests of the Mahathir government both by preparing the basis for a guilty verdict, and preventing his inside knowledge of its activities from being aired in court.

This was confirmed the following day when Justice Paul placed a ban on the press reporting Anwar’s statements concerning discussions he had held with Mahathir or the former chief of police. He also ordered the media not to report what Anwar had said about the International Trade Minister Rafidah Aziz.

According to Anwar, the conflict with Mahathir arose as sharp differences emerged over economic policy. The decision to lay the charges was made after a confrontation with Mahathir on the day of his dismissal–September 2. The prime minister had delivered an ultimatum to resign or to face charges of sexual misconduct.

The conduct of the Anwar trial has broad political implications for working people in Malaysia. If, in the glare of the international media, the rights of a former deputy prime minister to mount a legal defence to politically motivated charges can be flagrantly violated, the same anti-democratic measures can be used with impunity against workers and young people.
