Ramadan Blessings for PDRM’s DSP Baharin and 5 Others
The mainstream media led by Dato’ Charles Lourdes of The Star then conspired with A-G Gani Patail, Musa Hassan and Ahmad Said of the MACC to malign these ordinary policemen by branding them as traitorous officers when they were hauled to court.
Din Merican
Last night (July 31) marks the beginning of 1st Ramadan 1432 Hijrah which means today August 1, Muslims in Malaysia and most parts of the world will start fasting for one month. At the end of one Ramadan, Muslims generally make a special prayer to seek God’s Grace for the opportunity to meet with another Ramadan because only God knows of life, death and the hereafter- Wallahu a’lam. And so it is with the wife and children of Ahmad Sarbaini who will not get to fast with him this year.
RPK MT revelations on the Death of Ahmad Sarbani
Raja Petra Kamarudin’s Malaysia Today (RPK MT) had run an 9 Part series on the Lies and Deceptions by the MACC in the death of Ahmad Sarbaini when it became obvious that the MACC would not be telling the truth in the Inquest. This became clear when Police Forensic Officer ASP Fauziah Che Mat testified that an expert had tampered and erased over 22 hours of CCTV recording at the KL MACC Office.
Instead of comforting and offering condolences to Ahmad Sarbaini’s widow and family, the MACC compounded their grief by trying to justify that he was a crooked Customs officer who had tried to escape via a pantry window but instead fell to his death. The MACC did not care that there was not an iota of evidence to arrest the man. The MACC did not care that their sole evidence was a so-called voluntary “confession” which had been debunked by its own Investigating Officer (IO) Abd Ghani Bin Ali who had admitted to the Coroner that this was the first time in his 20 over years as an IO that anyone had ever given a “confession”.
To continue to defame a man after his death is very cruel and unIslamic. In the spirit of Ramadan, I ask these Malay/Muslim MACC officers and the other witnesses not to perpetuate any more lies when the Inquest resumes on Tuesday August 2, regardless that RPK had already exposed to the Malaysian public who the real killers were.
It appeared that RPK had exposed all that in order to pre-empt a recurrence of the findings in the death of Teoh Beng Hock (TBH). Although the Malaysian Bar had issued a statement to express dismay with the TBH RCI Report, yet, several key points are very damning to the MACC as follows:
1) That TBH was subjected to “aggressive, relentless, oppressive and unscrupulous interrogation” and that the recording of his statement was unlawful;
2) That most of the MACC officers who were involved in the operations and who gave evidence as witnesses were neither truthful nor credible, as they “had the inevitable habit of lying”;
3) That massive operations launched by the MACC were grounded on mere belief of information purportedly received over the telephone, and without proper groundwork or investigation.
That sums it all – that MACC officers act unlawfully; have the habit of lying; and mount operations without proper groundwork or investigation. That is what will happen to you if you suffer the misfortune of being an MACC target!
That was what happened in 2007 to five ordinary Policemen whose only crime was to truthfully report that former IGP Musa Hassan was in cahoots with the Along illegal loan shark syndicate. To cover himself, Musa Hassan accused these junior policemen of trying to bring him down.
Instead of protecting these lowly ranked policemen or investigating the truth of their intelligence reports, then MACC Chief Ahmad Said Hamdan and A-G Gani Patail worked to destroy them. Instead of giving these five policemen commendation medals for bravery or for whistle blowing, the MACC intimidated several Chinese informants to frame these junior policemen. A-G Gani Patail then charged them for fabrication of evidence against IGP Musa Hassan while the syndicate man, Goh Cheng Poh aka Tengku Goh went scot free.
The mainstream media led by Dato’ Charles Lourdes of The Star then conspired with A-G Gani Patail, Musa Hassan and Ahmad Said of the MACC to malign these ordinary policemen by branding them as traitorous officers when they were hauled to court.
I have highlighted parts of the news clips below for readers to see the journalistic slant given to that story in calling known criminals and Restricted Resident (RR) detainees as businessmen. It is also evident that former IGP Musa Hassan had sided with known criminals and RR detainees to forsake his own men in blue:
