a)Dato Harun Idris

b) Encik Aziz Isahak the former Minister of Agriculture



c) The Devil Anwar Ibrahim






d) Aziz Ishak and Tunku in 1958


e)Justice the late Dato Hashim Yeop Sani who met out the sentence to Dato Mokthar Hashim






You know this is the third piece i am posting about Anwar. The fact of the matter is, I just can't find in me why so much the Malays are trap in saying that there is a conspiracy!!! Why him?, why can't we analyze it carefully without getting emotional about it. Why so special about him? Politicians come and go and if unfairness is the key then he is not the only one who was treated unfairly.

From Encik Aziz Ishak former vice president of UMNO and Minister of Agriculture, who left UMNO in 1963 and detain under ISA in 1965 to Datuk Mokthar Hashim who was the Minister of Culture Youth and Sport in 1982 who was arrested in April that year and was charge and convicted for killing Datuk Mohd Taha Talib the State Assemblymen for Gemencheh Negeri Sembilan. Injustice has all been there but they believe in the rule of law. They do not create aspersion to the rule of the land although some were draconian but as former lawmakers they were gentlemen compare to the action taken by Anwar. He does not deserve the Datukship. Please go here for a piece of Aziz Ishak story http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-WdIhPTg1YqhDYy_HPOTakFehjdWueR4J2A--?cq=1&p=270

The case of Mokthar Hashim is worth mentioning because he was tried with the flimsiest of evidence. What Justice? he was suppose to be hang yet later commuted to life in prison. He was later pardon by the King.Datuk Taha was allege to be shot with the gun that he own, the eyewitness to the act is said to be nearsighted and can't see well at night yet he could make out Datuk Mokhtar in the night when there was no moonlight! The late Judge Datuk Hashim Yeop Sani decided to accept that evidence although no bullet was found and the gun was reported missing few weeks before the tragedy happen.
Here is a site about the judge http://161.139.39.251/akhbar/law/1998/ns988302.htm
To find out more try to get the book by Alias Mohammad The trial of Mokthar Hasim Insular Publishing.
I saw him in Pudu Jail during my visit there. You should see with his prison cloth still proud but accept his fate. By the way for your information Anwar was a cabinet member then. What about Datuk Harun? another vice president who was caught for corruption. See here for his biography http://www.viweb.freehosting.net/viint_Harun.htm. Dato Harun was cited by Dr Kua Kia Soong in his book on May 13 as responsible for the racial war as he was then the Chief Minister where the crowd of angry supporters of UMNO gathered on the night of May 12 1969 before embarking on a rampage of mayhem in Kuala Lumpur. I am not going into the rights and wrong of may 13 but enough said after that to many UMNO supporters he was a hero. To curtail his popularity the power elite wanted to send him to United States as other comrade like Khir Johari was send to in order to clip their power base. He refuse so in 1976 he was charge for corruption and jail by the admin of Dato (Tun)Hussein Onn and later release by Datuk (Tun) Mahathir Mohammad the fourth Prime Minister. When he went to the hospital during his ailment I still remember him being handcuff to his hospital bed although a convicted criminal he was not accord any special treatment.

But what about Anwar who rile the people up during te height of reformasi. Anwar refuses to abide by the law, he prefers anarchy then peace. To dispel any notion of his guilt or to reduce the Malays asking about his wrongs he purporsely creates trouble in 1998.Reformasi hooligans were all over the place. Business was disrupted during the Queen's visit which he stirs more trouble, all because of allege conspiracy! Even it is true as a leader he has no right to bring the country and the government into disrepute. Who can forget the uncouth Al Gore during the APCET dinner in Kuala Lumpur. Al Gore has the audacity to snub the host just because of him! I can't forget the day of his arrest my brother was there.He was part of the crowd and what he told me reflect the cowardice in him. At the height of the mayhem at PWTC when the uncontrol crowd start to destroy pictures of the former leaders of UMNO he ran pillion on a scooter presumably back home to his house the crowd later would march to the Prime Minister house yelling burn let's burn that man housethey were only stop by the water hose of the FRU. My brother was drench that day and that night he was apprehended at his house.Yet during his brother's and mother's funeral he was given a leave from his cell this is after sentence have pass, to attend their funeral. What about him not being handcuff just like the rest when attending court trial. As an accuse he is suppose to be handcuff but exception were made. People forget the first charge was abuse of power under the corruption and abuse of power act that he was sentence to. In fact the Appeal Court, the highest court in the land concur to the High Court sentence so there is no doubt that he abuse his power. Even during the trial he abuse his power of recognition so that he enjoy privileges unseen before like not getting handcuff.

Yet now he abuse the Malays mind by distorting facts to suit his own end. Those that appeal or has good persona and could pose a threat to him like Syed Hamid Albar who is the Minister of Home Affairs are warn not to say anything that can be prejudicial to the case. Why can't he? He is after all the Minister who are responsible for any police investigation as police department are under his purview. He is afraid that the portly Syed Hamid who has appeared on CNN and BBC is seen as sincere thus defeating the conspiracy theories that he is insinuating. He is crafty and the Malays who are his supporters dumb. Sadly there are many of them.

It is the middle of the month and i am sorry I have not update my blog as i should. I have been wrap up as others with the so called "conspiracy theories" mooted by the former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar. I detest that man, he has brought a simple police report against him to be something akin of a conspiracy against him. He is feeding the Malays fear especially the Malays who are known to be emotive to believe in this charade. It got to stop. It is dividing the Malays from each other and the wedge is never going to be fill until he dies. I am sorry it sounds morbid but it is the truth. Most malays adores heroes, they believe in heroes after all their whole life is all about dewas and dewis. To them heroes are like demigods who could do no wrong and Anwar seems to be their hero. Perhaps having Indian Blood in him he knows how to act the bollywood movie star as worship by the Malays.

Below is an article I hope my readers would read, not written by me but read it with an open mind. As I said two can play at the game just that Anwar is better.

e shall start off with this pantun;

“Angkut angkut terbang ke langit,
sampai di langit dimakan merbah,
biar bertangkup bumi dan langit,
setia hamba tidak berubah.”

Those were the words of an Umno Deputy President during an Umno General Assembly in the not too distant past. During the good old days some would have reckoned. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim verbalized his undivided loyalty towards his mentor, Datuk Seri (now Tun) Dr Mahathir Mohamad by reciting this pantun at the end of the Umno General Assembly in 1996. The affection being shown at that time by the PM towards his successor was for all to see. Only the most clairvoyant among us can predict what could have been unfold in the next two years after the pantun was recited and immortalized in the annals of Umno history.

“The prodigal son and the father figure”

This fiery pantun, which embodied an absolute and undying loyalty of a man towards his President no matter what may come, had been truly forgotten by Anwar Ibrahim as he became the fiercest critic to the very same person he held in very high regard several years ago.

In 1996, Anwar was seen as Umno’s heir apparent to Dr Mahathir. Now, in 2008, Anwar is still perceived as heir apparent and prime minister in waiting to the current PM albeit from another political party. Who is Anwar Ibrahim? How did he came about to be what he is today? A political reformer? The people’s saviour? An opportunist? A power hungry extremist?

In order to know a person, we need to know his character, his current ideology, his belief system, his principles or as some may say it, his ‘centre of being’. We study this, and then we reflect on all his actions through the years we’ve known him during the height of his power, and only then we can gauge what kind of a man he is. As what Abraham Lincoln once said - “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power”.

Read the above pantun again.

From his May 2007 interview in BBC’s Hardtalk, we delve into the man which some touted as the next best thing in Malaysia.

The issue which was relentlessly hammered on to Anwar towards the end of the interview was his integrity and credibility in leading the fight against the blatant corruption within the Malaysian Government. As the interviewer pointed out, he was in the system itself for nearly 2 decades and did not do anything about it. Although Anwar insisted he fought against the tide, it were only in the forms of words. No actions were done by him. In fact, his tenure as the Finance Minister from 1991 to 1998 was best remembered by his subtle manouevring in forcing Dr Mahathir to resign as Prime Minister in the Umno General Assembly in 1998.

His message was conveyed in the form of his trusted lieutenant, Datuk Zahid Hamidi, the Umno Youth Chief at the time. Alleging that cronyism and nepotism were prevalent within the Umno top hierarchy, and insinuating to the Umno members that Dr Mahathir had too many cronies, it was time Dr Mahathir to pass on the mantle of power to a cleaner leader. However, the plan backfired. We can read to remember about this revelation in Business Times ( 23 june 1998 );

DATUK Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the Umno Youth chief, caused more than a bit of a stir when he spoke of `nepotisma and kronisma’ at the Youth assembly last Thursday, forcing the ensuing three-day Umno general assembly to debate issues associated with these alien terms openly.

The party found itself on the defensive because, as a member of the Umno supreme council, there were questions as to whether Zahid had raised the issues at its meeting.

Now please read on:-

A reader of similar kindred spirit sent acouple of comments in my last article which I must share with all readers. The first is the analytical review of the facts and slander on the purported relationship between Ms Altantuya Shaaribuu and Datuk Seri Najib while the second would be the analysis on how the statutory declaration by My Bala was taken place . A million thanks to Lekiu for the fact finding effort. I could not have done it better. But first, lets see what Anwar had said in the press conference on the 3rd of July, slandering Datuk Seri Najib in the process. The video is a must watch so that we can relate to what Lekiu had commented.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

The Government of Malaysia signed an agreement with the French to buy 2 Scorpene boats/submarines in 2002. As early as October 2001 a decision has been made by the Malaysian Govermment to purchase the boats/submarines which was a blow to the Dutch who wanted to sell their Zwaardvis Class.

According to Bala’s SD, Razak Baginda was supposedly introduced to Altantuyaa in Singapore at a diamond exhibition. The premiere diamond exhibition in Singapore is the Singapore International Jewellery Exhibition which began in 2005.

Altantuyaa was born in 1978. Altantuya only moved to Hong Kong in 2005 to further her career (some say as an escort). Prior to that date she was married and had a child as late as in 2003.

It brings to mind several issues :-

1. Bala alleged that a commission of USD500K was due to Altantuyaa. If Malaysia had signed an agreement with the French in 2002 for the purchase of the boats/submarines, wouldn’t the commission mean that Altantuya was involved in the negotiation for the boats/submarines in 2000-2002? She was 22 in the year 2000. If it is true that Najib agreed for a commission due to her, which means Najib would have to have a seriously intimate relation with her for about a few years. Give and take 2-3 years, she was 19-20 years old when she started dating Najib? Does it make sense that Najib in his need to impress a girl promise her 500 million ? She was 19-20, a 10,000 cash money would be enough!

We all know that in this kind of arms deal, there would be one local company who actively pursue the Malaysian Government and lobbied hard for the Malaysian Government to purchase the boats. Had it been true that Altantuyaa is involved, wouldn’t it been easier to structure the deal in a way that Altantuyaa sits as a proxy in the local company? (JMD : Anwar previously alleged that Perimekar Sdn Bhd was the recipient for the commision. Was Altantuyaa working for Perimekar Sdn Bhd - a local Malaysian company? I doubt it.)

2. Bala also alleged that Najib introduced Altantuyaa to Razak at a diamond exhibition in Singapore. The biggest expo of that nature in Singapore only started in 2005. Razak Baginda and Altantuyaa were married sometime in 2005. If one assumes that Najib and Altantuyaa have had an affair since 1998, it doesn’t make sense for Altantuyaa to agree to marry Razak Baginda after a short introduction now does it?

3. Again we go back to the theory that Altantuyaa was part of the negotiating party in the sale of the boats/submarines to Malaysia, if that was true and that Najib has had an affair with the Mongolian since way back in the late 90’s, why did Altantuyaa re-marry with a Mongolian and had a second child in 2003? Wouldn’t it be more acceptable if she squeezed Najib for a few thousand dollars and remain in France (where the submarine deal was struck)? A much more nicer place to live than Mongolia especially to a young impressionable girl in her early 20’s ?

4. Why the need for her to become an escort if she was dating Najib and presumably after the Agreement to purchase the submarines in 2002 was concluded, money would have been disbursed to all interested parties.

5. Why didn’t she kick up a ruckus after the deal was signed and she was never paid? If the reports are true, she part timed as an escort in 2005 in HK. She needed money, she could have yelled and screamed way back then and yet no such hysterical act.

6. Why only after the marriage to Razak Baginda in 2005 did she rightfully searched for Razak for money? It would make more sense if she chased Najib for the commission? Right?

All I am saying is, the poor murdered woman who turned her back on her 20 over years of faith, embraced a new religion, changed her name and married Razak. Then she came down to KL presumably wanting Razak to be financially supportive as any husband should be.

It wasn’t about commission. It was about Razak’s failure to financially provide as a husband.

8. Doesn’t an inquiring mind ask a valid question, what benefit does Najib has in murdering Altantuya ? If we take Bala’s allegation at face value that Najib had asked Razak to take care of Altantuyaa, I doubt marriage is something Najib had in mind. Had it been true that Razak was suppose to care for Altantuyaa and instead enamoured as it would seem, Razak married her, Najib would have kidnapped Razak and strapped a C4 on Razak instead of Altantuyaa.

In 1998 Anwar had all sorts of conspiracy, blaming everyone from Tun Dr Mahathir to Daim. For a brief time, Anwar had massive ego complex that he paralled his fate to that of Napoleon Bonaparte when he claimed that there was a plan to poison him with arsenic.

The arsenic didn’t kill him, but it does affect his thought process. He has a heightened sense of paranioa. Much like some schizophrenic, he feels that there is a conspiracy to bring him down.

What little function his brain could perform, he fail to understand that it is he himself who has an inclination to self-sabotage.

In an age where conspiracy theories thrive, Anwar has a ready listeners in the thousands to subscribe to his paranioa.

Sometime, it is the simple explanation that is more credible than the outlandish theories which is spun out there.

As a famous scientist, Enrico Fermi, once concluded…. if there are alien civilisations out there, where are they and why havent they contacted us ?

But we all love X Files, ET and the like dont we ?

And as they say, there is a sucker born every minute or is it every day ? Hmm

(JMD : Just like Mark Twain once said - It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense. In this case, Anwar’s fiction failed to be credible enough)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Can you see the amount of slander Anwar made in that press conference? All based on the first Statutory Declaration of Bala which even his lawyer had admitted is not a statement of the truth. How can you slander a person based only on hearsay? And based on Lekiu’s comment above, the choronology of events had absolutely lend credibility to Najib’s assertion that he did not know Altantuyaa and had no sexual relationhip with her. And to reveal Anwar’s hypocrisy on this matter, he made a statement today against people who slanders him:

BUTTERWORTH: Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has denied that he or any of his family members had called on the United States for support amid new allegations that he had sodomised his aide.

In a ceramah at the Seberang Jaya exposition grounds here, Anwar challenged his detractors in the Barisan Nasional ruling coalition to show proof that he had contacted the US for support when the allegations surfaced.

“I am prepared to go to court to prove that I did no such thing. I demand an apology from those who do not have the evidence to back their claims.

“Do not resort to such slander and do not demean me,” Anwar told an audience of more than 30,000 people.

Basically, it is alright for him to slander Najib. The fact is, Najib never slandered him. In fact, it was Anwar’s own aide who made the police report. Saiful Bukhary was not even slandering Anwar as he had to undergo medical examination and hours of interrogation to determine the truth. At this point, each Malaysian had to ask this question - what kind of a man Anwar Ibrahim is?

[PLEASE TAKE A QUICK REST BEFORE READING ON]

Lekiu’s other comment was with regards to my earlier commentary on the manner Anwar was arrested in 1998. A reader had highlighted the fact that the reason why Anwar hid in the Turkish Embassy was because he did not want a repeat of 1998 incident. He said that Anwar was arrested in 1998 because of the same sodomy allegation back then. Anwar was eventually beaten in custody.

But the turth was, in 1998, Anwar was arrested not because of a police report was made against him. The police report on sodomy was made by Azizan in 1997. He was arrested on 20th September 1998 because he incited riots in KL. We can still remember the mass rally in Dataran Merdeka and the destruction of public property by the protesters. Due to that, he was arrested using the ISA.

The notion that he hid in the foreign embassy because he was afraid police will beat him up even though he claim he was innocent (of sodomy) was wrong. In 1998, he WAS the mastermind for inciting public riot and the decision of the police to arrest him was correct. Furthermore, the Commonwealth Games was just around the corner back then. The government would not want any of its citizens to tarnish the image of the country. But Anwar was adamant in tarnishing the country’s image. To him, he comes first.

It was unfortunate that he was beaten up by Tan Sri Rahim Noor back then. But to say that he hid because he was afraid police will arrest him and beat him up just because somebody filed a police report on charges of sodomy is dead wrong. And currently, we also know by now that the government never made any intention to assassinate him as he claimed about a week ago. Anwar is a political leader who is riddled with sense of paranoia. Is that good for the country?

Thanks for the refresher on why Anwar was arrested in 1998.

It does give credence to the theory that Anwar’s run with his pants down at his ankle to the Turkish Embassy shows tacit admission of guilt.

It becomes a bit interesting now that the military intelligence chief denies that a report on Altantuya exist. Although such denial would not be deemed credible in the eyes of Anwarists. A need for SD by the Chief perhaps?

I am of the opinion that Bala’s first SD is quite interesting in a stupid Anwar way. There was a declaration by Bala that seem to say that Najib has had anal intercourse with Altantuya. For an SD intended to link Najib to Altantuya, suddenly, in one short paragraph, Altantuya’s alleged sexual predilection comes to the fore.

It does show the desperation that Anwar is under. Anwar is probably saying through Bala, Najib is doing it through the back door as well, why pick on me alone?

And somewhere in the SD, Bala alleged that Altantuya is Najib’s girlfriend and that Razak Baginda was charged with taking care of her. Somewhere towards the end of the SD and in a noble gesture, Razak Baginda and Altantuya decided to marry.

The need to create invisible dots to link Najib and Altantuya seemed never ending in the SD. Anyone who has ever left a woman scorned would know that a woman left high and dry would eventually run back to the bast+#@ who left her.

Even if it is true that Altantuya was Najib’s ex, surely Altantuya would be crying out and seek Najib for help given the scenario that Najib and Altantuya was alleged to have the most intimate of relatonship.

In a worst case scenario, Altantuya could easily hold a press conference and allege all sort of stuff against Najib. Why take the difficult route of screaming and shouting in front of Razak Baginda’s house? For the simple reason that Razak Baginda and Altantuya were husband and wife. Najib is a non issue.

The new revelation that Altantuya is demanding commission from the arms deal is also a desperate attempt to link the poor murdered woman to Najib.

As was stated in the SD, Altantuya and Razak Baginda were married. The poor woman wanted the husband to be responsible. She may have wanted financial support from her husband but I doubt it would run to hundred of millions from the arms deal.

It is interesting to note that Anwar has so much hatred towards Najib. Anwar reckons that Najib doesn’t deserve to be Prime Minister in Waiting and that such coveted title belong to him. Anwar’s incessant need to soil Najib’s image seemed bordering paranoia.

In these sordid episode, Badawi seem to be laughing at the sidelines while mud is thrown at one another from his 2 most formidable challengers, Najib and Anwar.

In all these fight, I miss the absence of Tun Dr Mahathir. In 1998 it was easier. I was rooting for the obvious choice, Tun Dr Mahathir as opposed to Anwar. The protagonist stood up clear. Now, there are no protagonist. What is obvious the face of evil is very much pronounced.

This reminds me of a lesson I learned after reading Milton’s Paradise Lost. Some wise old man once told me that evil is seductive. Which is why Adam despite being in the presence of God was beguiled by Satan into eating the forbidden fruit.

That said and done, it is hard for most Malaysians to believe that Anwar who peppers his speech with injunctions from the Quran could be involved in a sordid tale of sexual impropriety.

Perhaps it is true after all when Harper Lee wrote in a classic book that “Sometimes the Bible in the hand one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of another”

JMD : A really good analytical review of the SD. Should be highly noted by the public. Thank you. I also like to point out that while Pak Lah can belaughing watching those two battle out each other, he forgot to see the ramifications of this to the Umno party. He should not have left Najib high and dry. To me, any mudslinging towards Najib is also an affront towards the image of Umno as a whole. Pak Lah and KJ failed to realize this.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Speaking of statutory declaration, I would like to touch a bit on RPK’s SD against Datin Seri Rosmah. In the first paragraph, it basically says that on the night of Altantuya’s murder, only 3 people were present. They are Rosmah, Acting Colonel Aziz Buyong and his wife, Norhayati.

Later, RPK alleged that he was reliably informed that Aziz placed the C4 on Altantuya’s body before blowing her up while being watched by both Rosmah and Norhayati.

The big question is; if only 4 people were present on that night (Altantuya included) to witness that ungodly act, then WHO had informed RPK? RPK even said ‘he was reliably’ informed. If we rule out Altantuya herself to reveal this in RPK’s dream, could it be Aziz or Norhayati? I am certain Rosmah could never confess such crimes to RPK even IF she ever did it. We can rule out Aziz and Norhayati themselves since both of them had sued RPK for defamation. So how on earth RPK could possibly know what happen that night? Could it have come from RPK’s own highly imaginative mind? Once, RPK himself admitted that he likes to embellish his articles to make it more spicy to read.

So there, another fiction by RPK perhaps? I once said that eventhough RPK claimed that he did not wish to be a politician, but I presume, with the SD he made (which at most, a hearsay based on another hearsay), he is playing politics all the while. Why? Because like his buddy Anwar Ibrahim, he is good in diverting attention. All know that he has a court case hearing this October. The SD he made was just a diversion to incite the public so that he could at least win in his precious ‘court of public opinion’
