Najib style Missing in action:.Zahid deficit in voters trust UMNO a giant balloon that’s about to burst

Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar has once again issued a subtle denial to senior lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah's claim about his client, an alleged underworld figure.
 what both Shafee and Zahid fail to understand is US judicial system is highly professional institution, they certainly don't operate on the basis that one phone call or a letter from so and so, a case closed. the judge in this case may be at very junior level (District Court),nevertheless, even a letter from Obama will not help, the UMNO lawyer, has grossly over rated himself, and in the process drag cowshit Zahid into Shafee shit.any lesson for UMNO to learn there?

Plot thickens as IGP hints 'kingpin' findings correct to defend the police findings concerning alleged Malaysian gambling kingpin Paul Phua.

Most of Chinese in Malaysia know that minister Zahid have been working  very closely with the under world. In any democracy, Zahid would have been investigated for abuse of power, fraud and corruption, and he would have instantly resigned, failing which he would have been suspended or removed by the PM. And if Zahid and the PM do nothing, the entire government would have been so rocked by infuriated public opinion that it may just be too paralysed to function effectively. But in Malaysia, more than a week has lapsed, and nothing happens. While the main stream media has blacked out the news, the PM has kept completely silent, Zahid has not uttered anything comprehensible, and the IGP continues to play Tai-Chi to ward off reporters’ probing questions. Soon, this heinous misdeed, which could have sunk a democratic government, will be forgotten, and life will go on as if nothing has happened. This is the modus operandi of how BN overcomes its scandals, however grave; and this is Malaysia the “best democracy” –  In any democracy, Zahid would have been investigated for abuse of power, fraud and corruption, and he would have instantly resigned, failing which he would have been suspended or removed by the PM.

Outsourced Public Prosecutor and barbarians are at the gates of  government

The Unholy Trinity of Malaysia: the elegant silent CEO, the outsourced Public Prosecutor, and the Chief Law Enforcer. God save us silent/silenced Malaysians.
Wall Street Piece

Why the letter, Zahid? why in the world Zahid wrote that letter. In his letter to the FBI, Zahid never explained the contradiction between his assertions and the information that the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) gave the FBI eight years ago.


In his letter to the FBI, Zahid wrote, “Based on our information, Mr Phua is neither a member nor is he associated with the 14K Triad.” Yet six years earlier, the Malaysian Police informed the FBI that Phua in fact was a member of the infamous triad.
Shafee Abdullah
 The plot thickens....Has Zahid such a hold on Najib that Najib feels impotent to do anything with Zahid? Even though the Government has withdrawn the letter, the HM has appealed for Phua's speedy release and return to Malaysia. This could result in the HM being put in the witness stand in a US court where could be grilled. Shafee as a lawyer and friend has really misled the HM.
 Shafie may know about Altantuya's murder from musa safri.That why he can direct the cabinets minister to do what he wants to be done.Even Mahathir is scared of shafie. Shafie should be charged for contempt on his remarks about G.S.RAM to the Federal court Judges.AG as promised to G.S.RAM
To explain the contradiction, Phua’s lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said that the RMP had made a “very big” mistake. He said the Police were “wrong.”
But Zahid never said in his letter that the police were “wrong.” He never told the FBI why the Malaysian government had declared Phua a triad member in 2008 but now had changed its mind.
Asked to explain the discrepancy between the 2008 report and Zahid’s 2014 letter, the Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar took a pass. He declined to comment. By refusing to back up his boss and agree that the RMP were wrong in their 2008 assessment, Khalid left his boss Zahid hanging out to dry.
Why does it matter whether the FBI’s 2008 memo was right or wrong? Now we get into the Hollywood movie or the ‘MI-5′ part of the story – and also a description of the American judicial process.
According to many Las Vegas and gambling news websites, Phua’s American attorneys are trying to get the case thrown out on civil liberties grounds.
The other five people arrested in Las Vegas with Phua have all confessed and cooperated with law enforcement. They admitted what was going on. There is no doubt; by all accounts, Phua is guilty.
His activities were witnessed and videoed by the FBI and confirmed by these five other people, his associates. The FBI also found evidence on the laptops and cell phones that were seized.
So the only way to win is procedural. You have to prove, not that Phua is innocent, but that the FBI acted wrongly and violated Phua’s civil rights. Think about that – a Malaysian citizen who violated American law now wants to be protected by the American constitution.
So Phua’s attorneys are pushing the argument that the search of the hotel villas and also the arrest warrant for Phua were not valid. They want the judge to throw the case out of court on procedural grounds.
The Hollywood movie version
Based on all the reporting from Las Vegas, here is what happened, in a Hollywood-style movie script.
After Phua and his associates were arrested in Macau, they hopped on a plane – his private US$48 million plane – to Las Vegas. They wanted to continue their illegal online sports gambling operations on the World Cup.
They checked into Caesar’s Palace into five high roller “villas,” and were given US$90 million in credit. They then demanded that the hotel staff install all kinds of Internet connections in their villas.
The hotel staff became suspicious and went to hotel security, which in turn concluded that an illegal online gambling operation was going on. Hotel security then contacted the FBI.
The FBI checked the names of the high-rollers in those suites, and “Bingo!” They found the name of Paul Phua, who only one week before had been arrested in Macau in the biggest illegal gambling raid in Macau history. And they also found that in a 2008 FBI memo, the RMP officially had fingered Phua as a member of a Chinese triad.
What happened next was even more Hollywood. The FBI disabled the Internet connection to Phua’s suites, where the illegal sports gambling operation was being conducted. With the Internet down, and Phua losing money and desperate to restore connectivity, the FBI agents then posed as Internet repairmen.
They entered the villas (allegedly without a search warrant), and then secretly witnessed and videoed what was going on. They confiscated laptops and cell phones, and it was all over. Phua’s attorneys say that because there was no search warrant, the search was illegal.
The US government no doubt will argue in response that there was “reasonable cause” to believe that illegal activity was taking place, given the fact that Phua had just been arrested in Macau for illegal sports gambling before he came to Las Vegas and because he had requested an inordinate amount of Internet connection equipment for the hotel suites.
