Musa Hassan must be accountable for his statement and misdeeds

Apparently, Musa is using his father to lobby to the Yang Di Pertuan Agong (YDPA) for another extension by delaying or not approving Ismail Omar’s appointment. That accounts for the Ministry’s vague statement that “the approval of the YDPA for the new IGP will be sought”. Musa is in fact using the YDPA to interfere with the Executive prerogative on its choice of IGP.

Muslims in Malaysia concluded Ramadan on September 9 and they celebrated Eidil Fitri yesterday. Muslims know Ramadan is a very special month.

The Takbir Raya which began since maghrib (evening prayer on September 9) is always so poignant and bring tears to most Muslims.

The Takbir Raya which began since maghrib (evening prayer on September 9) is always so poignant and bring tears to most Muslims. Many would feel sad reflecting the events of the past year. And so it was with my dearest wife, Dr Kamsiah. She misses her two children who cannot not celebrate Eidil Firi with her for the third year in a row. She feels sad that her aged mother cannot not be with her grandchildren. She has been denied her rights by someone who lacks compassion and understanding of the importance of Ibu (Mother) to a Muslim.

Kamsiah has been denied her rights by someone who lacks compassion and understanding of the importance of Ibu (Mother) to a Muslim.

There was little I can do except to comfort her, and that in turn makes me sadder because Dr Kamsiah remains as calm as ever even going through such a stormy domestic matter. When I suggested some legal measures to gain her rights, she could only say that God works in mysterious ways and that she redha.

Dr. Kamsiah said to me “Din, this is not about civil rights, this is personal. So please don’t use your mighty pen over personal issues, everyone will eventually be held accountable.” That made me more sad still until I went for solat Edil Fitri this morning. You may ask why.

Eidil Fitri Khutbah (sermon)

It is because I am dumbfounded when the theme of the Eidil Fitri Khutbah (sermon) is about accountability. The Imam of the mosque that I attended recited the cautionary last two verses from Surah Zilzal (The Convulsion) about the Day of Judgment as follows:

“Then shall anyone who has done an atom’s weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atoms weight of evils, shall see it! “

The Imam Khatib read the commentary so emotionally that he cried and so did many others of the jemaah (congregation) including myself. I went back very contemplative over my wife’s own personal tragedy. Then when I started to reflect on current events, I became agitated again over the ills that pervade this great country.

Latest Musa Hassan Outburst

I am able to relate the khutbah to the present events surrounding Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) and its outgoing IGP,

It seems Musa wants to be the IGP in perpetuity, and he considered Hishammuddin’s decision as an interference

the despicable Musa Hassan. Only last Sunday I wrote about Musa Hassan’s revolting interview with Mingguan Malaysia during which he made innuendoes of interference by third parties. Then on Wednesday (September 8), I wrote again about Musa’s boldness in openly stating that the third party that he was referring to is the Ministry of Home Affairs, thereby implicating the Minister, Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Hussein Onn (see- Musa Hassan Should Just Shut Up and Vamoose).

It is clear now that Musa is very upset that Hishammuddin had rightly refused to grant him another extension. It seems Musa wants to be the IGP in perpetuity, and he considered Hishammuddin’s decision as an interference.

Musa went as far as to say that he only knew about the decision not to extend his contract on the very day that Hishammuddin gave his interview on September 1. The Ministry’s Secretary-General, Dato’ Seri Mahmood Adam has since refuted Musa’s claim and said that Musa was informed one week before that interview and again on the day of the interview. So who is lying now? If we believe the Secretary-General –and there is no reason not to– that would mean Musa was informed twice.

Musa Hassan has track record of lies and fabrications

Can we ever believe Musa? Already we know that Musa lied in Sodomy I when, as investigator, he identified a building not yet constructed as the scene of the sodomy. Musa also lied when he carried a mattress into court daily which was eventually thrown out as incredible evidence.

Then in the Black Eye incident, Dato’ Mat Zin, the former OCCI KL, filed an affidavit accusing Musa of lying and fabricating evidence. Musa’s own ADC had sworn a Statutory Declaration exposing Musa as a two-faced Pengkhianat Bangsa who would lie to portray himself differently in public.

Musa also lied about his academic qualifications which was a point raised by Tan Sri Robert Phang. Then very recently, Judge Supang Lian of Kota Kinabalu Sessions Court wrote a damning judgment about Musa “being an incredible witness, whose evidence is not to be believed”. That is just legal jargon for saying that Musa is a LIAR!

Musa still wants to strut around as IGP although he has already surrendered his duties and powers to the DIGP, Tan Sri Ismail Omar. Lim Kit Siang has thus called for Musa to be suspended, and unless he can explain himself, Musa should be given a dishonourable discharge. Apparently, Kit Siang knows something more that we don’t.

Three Extensions Not enough

That is why Tan Sri Robert Phang criticised Musa in the strongest terms as being ungrateful and unprofessional. The much respected and admired Robert Phang reminded the public and the Ministry that Musa enjoyed three extensions, something never before granted to previous IGPs.
