The Politics of Sodomy: Will Justice be Mangled Again?
Anwar and The Rogues of 1998
To convict an innocent man of false charges, there must be four parties acting in concert, three of them in the criminal justice system. They are the Police to fabricate evidence, the Attorney-General to frame the charge and the Judiciary to convict the accused irrespective of whether he can put up a creditable defense.
Think of a society so indifferent (or wise) that a rape suspect is indicted only at the time the illegitimate infant is delivered, and since by that time the child’s illegitimacy and the mother’s social status are the major inflictions to be undone, the most appropriate legal redress would be to arrange a marriage between the accused and the victim. This would be the ultimate “happily ever after” story, in which the law even reforms someone’s crime into a state of lifelong binding love, further taking into account those fraction of cases where “rape” is falsely reported for other gains. There would be only one flaw. The difference between “rape” and “marriage” would be lost for ever, or perhaps, “arranged” marriages would get a different definition. In ignoring prompt justice, society would be settling for a different social order. The idea is not so outrageous. But for man, the rest of the animal kingdom has no such definitions for bodily interactions. There is also no such entity as law.

The present mole hill the country is occupied with, while it basks on a mountain of corruption, may just be the turning point this land is waiting for. Having defined democracy in a text, scripted law on the basis of what was reasonable among those who could understand it, we went on conducting our affairs without letting the ideas of fairness and liberty trickle down to clear the cobwebs of caste, clan, region, religion, illiteracy and ignorance. These were comfortably converted into political banks. The counterfeit coins are being sent back, the chickens are coming home to roost, the prodigies are round tripping!
The controversy is not all about someone writing a letter, the official delay in response, the misinterpretation of guidelines, pressure of a coalition party, or the alleged complicity of a particular minister. Or maybe, it is a bit of all this, with the ubiquitous “foreign hand”. It is simply about accountability of the highest offices, when a nation loses an amount of revenue that could wipe out the hunger of half its poor. Someone needs to exert his stature, or even set it aside, to put the record straight.
An irregularity that was to be addressed in Parliament finally reached the highest court of law, when the legislature seemingly failed. The press did its job, though it has much to do to keep abreast, even stay a step ahead. What the Hon’ble Bench asked was appropriate, and appropriately directed. Any man with honesty and integrity should welcome such a move. It gives him a platform to pronounce, pursue and purport by example. At that stage of dignity chosen by the nation, there is no such concept as defence. This is the ever anticipated moment of truth, the celebrated time of “reckoning”. The PM, having much goodwill, should face the House squarely and singularly, clear the air, and take the party, allies and opposition into confidence. That makes the legal exercise secondary, and the less that is stretched, the better. He has to restore his image as the leader of the nation. Courts don’t bestow that honor, they only absolve. There is no time to lose. Besides the present loss, a 10% growth in economy has been announced.
Even so, those who will be drafting the evidence and arguments need to see just one shining light. It is not the one of cleverness or chronic guile. It is of a collective national conscience. Individuals and events have lost significance before the lost common man. There has to be a revival of systems, and restoration of faith that they finally do matter. It is not entirely a matter of “right” or “wrong”. It is a matter of what will finally be perceived such. Calling it a continuation of policy of a previous regime is an argument of doom. As a new government, it is deemed to be its own policy, and finally this argument was rejected as a defence for the sacked minister. It all depends on what the facts are, how simply they are put before a tired nation, and how gracefully the exercise is conducted. A people’s need to believe in natural justice, their adoration of those in power possessing adequate merit, cannot be ignored.
One does sense that perpetual dependence on coalition politics in a rising economy may turn its dream sour. Coalition would be healthier for the opposition. Political inertia of the national parties is costing the nation dear. Power comes more easily by bargaining than by actually exerting for the common man’s vote. The two large parties need to explain to the nation why they do not have even a respectable representation in two of the most populous as well as backward states of the country, which actually were their original constituencies, and prop up a majority of the central leadership. More is in store if this political equation of convenience is not sorted out by going back to the fields.
The third 26/11 is approaching. Hopefully, there should be ample security from invasion without. Peace within comes from fairness, equality, liberty and answerability to a population that, in segments, is the poorest as well as the richest on this planet. The common man deserves to enjoy uninterrupted constitutional guarantees, despite indulgent political scams. Which party would like to put such a warranty on its manifesto? It may be an answer to regionalism.
In the event of no one found “guilty”, what is the plan of recovering the lost revenues if it was due to a false policy, coalition compulsion, or party loyalty. Would the law like to deliver composite justice by pronouncing a stricture on loss of revenues?

A couple of months back Malaysia Today showed pictures of A-G Gani Patail with Shahidan. In case you still have doubts, Malaysia Today will now show you how close they really are. They are so close that they deem it fit to seek atonement and go to God’s house in Mecca together

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 24 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim claimed today the presiding judge in his Sodomy II trial had “intimidated” his lead counsel after he moved to disqualify the judge.
In a written affidavit filed this afternoon along with a notice of motion to disqualify Judge Datuk Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah, Anwar said that Mohd Zabidin had “threatened” Karpal Singh yesterday when the lawyer gave notice of the defence’s intentions to file an application to disqualify him.
“My lawyer at the time had given notice to the judge that he had been ordered by his client (me) to request that the said judge recuse himself from hearing my trial.
“The reason being that the judge did not respect the decision of the Supreme Court in United Asian Bank Berhad vs Tai Soon Heng Constructiion Sdn Bhd (1993).
“The judge then answered, saying that what my lawyer had said could be considered as contempt of court. My lawyer had responded by saying the issue of contempt of court did not arise and I was not given a fair trial,” said Anwar in his affidavit.
According the notes of the trial proceedings yesterday, Karpal had accused Mohd Zabidin of an “unwarranted threat of contempt,” thereby “intimidating the counsel.”
Anwar said that although the judge had subsequently withdrawn his “contempt” remarks and agreed that it was “not proper” of him to have said such things to Karpal, the judge’s act of “intimidation” indicated a “real danger of bias” which would prevent the opposition leader from receiving a fair trial.
Anwar also stressed that the application to disqualify the judge was based solely on Mohd Zabidin’s alleged acts of “intimidation” towards Karpal, and for no other reasons.
Earlier today in court, Karpal had informed the judge that the notice of motion along with Anwar’s application had been filed, and that the trial could not go on until Mohd Zabidin heard the application.
“Your lordship had intimidated counsel, that is me, [and] that’s why Anwar is concerned he won’t get a fair trial.
“We need time till tomorrow morning to be ‘well-prepared’ to recuse your lordship from further hearing the matter,” said Karpal.
Mohd Zabidin then fixed tomorrow morning for the hearing of the defence’s bid to have him disqualified as the trial judge.
Yesterday, the defence took issue with Mohd Zabidin’s ruling to deny Anwar access to three Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) doctors’ medical notes.
The judge, in making the ruling, cited that the defence failed to give reasons on why they needed those documents.
Karpal had at the time claimed that the judge’s decision had misinterpreted a Supreme Court decision in 1993, which stipulated that the courts are bound by the decision which states that witness must “place before the court all the data in which he bases his information.”
The judge, however, had said that Section 45 of the Evidence Act merely provided for the “admissibility” of opinion and nothing more.
“Originally we wanted to file an application to disqualify the judge because he did not take into considering a Supreme Court ruling when denying the defence access to the HKL notes,” another defence lawyer, Sankara Nair, told The Malaysian Insider today.
“But after what the judge had said yesterday, intimidating Karpal, we filed an application today citing the one reason why we want the judge disqualified, that is the act of intimidation.”
Anwar, the 62-year-old PKR de facto leader, is currently facing sodomy charges for the second time in his life.
The former deputy prime minister is charged with sodomising a former aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan at Unit 11-5-1 of the Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara here between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.
Anwar has denied the charge, describing it as “evil, frivolous lies by those in power” when the charge was read out to him. He is charged under section 377B of the Penal Code and can be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years’ jail and whipping upon conviction. The trial is taking place 18 months after Anwar was charged in court in August 2008.
He was charged with sodomy and corruption in 1998 after he was sacked from the Cabinet and was later convicted and jailed for both offences. He was freed in September 2004 and later resurrected his political career by winning back his Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat in a by-election in 2008, which had been held in the interim by his wife.
He had two years ago led the opposition coalition, Pakatan Rakyat, to a historic sweep of five states and 82 parliamentary seats in Election 2008.
Deep Throat Bukit Aman
RPK has always said that Malays are the worst lot of Muslims in the world. They take bribes, cheat, commit criminal breach of trust, plunder the nation’s wealth, and much more. They also rape, murder and even blow dead people up with military grade explosives.
And after doing all these evil deeds, they purport to repent and put on a public show of visiting God’s house in Mecca to seek forgiveness.
Yes, that is what they do. And they think that all their sins can be cleansed and that God will forgive them by that single act of being seen to be performing the Haj. I suppose it is that easy to take the Good Lord for a ride.
If you think it was bad enough that the former Chief Justice, Eusof Chin, and his wife, went on holidays with Lawyer VK Linggam. If you think it was revolting to see a picture of the arms of Correct, Correct, Correct Linggam on the shoulders of Eusof Chin while on holidays in New Zealand. Then you haven’t seen it all.
That indiscretion was good enough to warrant a Royal Commission of Enquiry to investigate the manipulations of Linggam in the appointments to the judiciary.
Malaysia Today has posted Parts 1 to 10 on the plundering of MAS, which resulted in a multi-billion hole in its fortunes. Malaysia Today has exposed that in the end it was the Director of the CCID, Dato’ Ramli Yusuff, and his lawyer, Rosli Dahlan, who were charged for relentlessly pursuing the case against MAS’s former Chairman, Tajuddin Ramli.
Until today Tajudin remains a free and wealthy man living in his ranch called Al Raudhah orThe Garden of Heaven.
Malaysia Today has unravelled the link between Tajudin and A-G Gani Patail through the smooth operator who goes by the name of Shahidan Shafie. Malaysia Today has provided the link between Shahidan’s adopted sister, Rizana Daud, who is married to Bistamam Ramli, Tajudin’s brother. Malaysia Today has also provided the background of Shahidan — an ex-policeman who was charged for corruption in Johor Bahru.
Yet, today, he is the best of friends with A-G Gani Patail.
They say you must know how to choose your friends. Shahidan certainly does. What better friend can you have today in Malaysia, if you are a wheeler-dealer and underworld operator, than the Attorney General?
But then again with A-G Gani Patail he can be the best of friends with the highest bidder. He sells himself to whomsoever can satisfy his lust for money, money and more money. So that is what binds A-G Gani to corrupted former policeman Shahidan Shafiee, the riches that is thrown his way.
A couple of months back Malaysia Today showed pictures of A-G Gani Patail with Shahidan. In case you still have doubts, Malaysia Today will now show you how close they really are. They are so close that they deem it fit to seek atonement and go to God’s house in Mecca together. Or is this just another camouflage for the shenanigans that they are about to commit?
In this day and age, even a Holy place is not too sacred to hide deals that they are about to cut.
Did RPK not tell you that all the government agencies in Malaysia report to him? Now see this Tabung Haji list of Haj for this year.
Yes, A-G Gani, his wife, his son, and Shahidan, have gone for Haj together as a family. Right now, they are about to complete their Tawaf Wida. This scumbag of an A-G knows no bounds. He will use his family as a camouflage for the evil things he does, even in the Holy Land.
In case you are still confused, let me explain this Haj list package as follows:
a) Kod Pakej PZ2 is the Zamrud package of 2 persons to a room;
b) The number 096 is the joint booking number. So Shahidan paid for the A-G and his family’s Haj trip;
c) The numerals 01-03 is the room arrangement.
So the A-G stays in one room with his wife and the A-G’s son, Faezul Adzra, stays in the other room with Shahidan. They are certainly family!
By the way, to ensure that he is safe after he retires, A-G Gani makes his son a Federal Counsel in the A-G Chambers. Talking about building a dynasty and taking care of his backside. And A-G Gani Patail is teaching his young government lawyer son that it is kosher to consort with criminals and wheeler-dealers so long as it is done secretly.
This scumbag A-G did not factor in that Malaysia Today will always find out his dirty deals.
Shahidan Shafie may think he is smoother than VK Linggam. But nothing escapesMalaysia Today.
Stay tuned and Malaysia Today will make more exposes on this scumbag A-G until a Royal Commission is set up to investigate the accusations that Datuk Mat Zain bin Ibrahim, the former Kuala Lumpur Officer-in-Charge of Criminal Investigations (KL OCCI), had said about A-G Gani Patail being protected by the MACC:
“It only shows that MACC and the Chambers are prepared even to go to the extent of affirming false affidavit to screen Gani Patail from legal punishment.”
I wonder whether they managed to con God into forgiving their sins. Maybe the infamous Perak Mufti can come out with a fatwah as to whether if you go for your Haj with dirty money your Haj will be Haj Mabruh or Haj Malboro.
