The Khairuddin Abu Hassan bull
Khairuddin said he is just personally struggling to get to the truth. That is very commendable. So let us start with him. Help us get to the truth that he is no one’s dog and he is not acting on anyone’s behalf and no one is behind him and the cost of everything he is doing is paid from his own pocket and does not come from a Chinese tycoon.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
In December last year Khairuddin Abu Hassan made a police report against 1MDB. The police report was actually frivolous and I will tell you why in a while. The issue is why did Khairuddin need to make this police report?
The reason is simple. Khairuddin wanted to convince Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had a case to answer to. And the only way to achieve this was to make a police report.
Hence the police report was meant to create the impression that a crime had been committed. If not then why the need for a police report? You only make a police report when you know of a crime or have information that a crime had been committed.
And it appears like Dr Mahathir bought this ploy — hook, line and sinker.
Khairuddin, however, did not have any evidence that a crime had been committed. Instead, as Khairuddin said, “all evidence put forth by the media has yet to be denied by 1MDB.”
So this means Khairuddin made the police report based on ‘media reports’ (which he calls ‘evidence’) and based on the fact that 1MDB had never denied the allegations.
In short, if the newspaper says something about you and you never deny it then that becomes evidence that a crime has been committed. Where the fook did Khairuddin get his law degree from?
That would mean I, too, can make a police report against Dr Mahathir based on media reports (which can be regarded as evidence) that he sailang RM100-200 billion of Umno’s money and based on the fact that he never denied this allegation.
Khairuddin then listed five ‘crimes’ that the police must investigate (see the news report by Astro Awani below). However, none of those five so-called ‘crimes’ are criminal acts. If borrowing large sums of money, paying higher interest rates, buying land, paying consultant’s fees, transferring money to offshore banks, and so on, are criminal acts, then there would not be a single CEO of a Malaysian company who would not be in jail.
In fact, the Chinese tycoon who helped clear Khairuddin’s bankruptcy would be the first to be sent to jail because he, too, is guilty of all those ‘crimes’ that Khairuddin mentioned.
Two days later in The Malaysian Insider news report (which you can also read below), Khairuddin went out of his way to stress that he is no one’s dog and is not acting on anyone’s behalf. Well then maybe Khairuddin can prove it.
Khairuddin should publish his last two years’ bank account statements from December 2013 to December 2015 to prove that the money that flowed into his bank account came from legitimate sources. Khairuddin should also prove that he paid his own money to clear his bankruptcy and also that he himself paid for his overseas trips.
So, first show the money that came in to your bank account and then show the money that went out. And when all this can be accounted for then we might believe him when he says he is no one’s dog and is not acting on anyone’s behalf. Until then we would have to believe that he is Muhyiddin Yassin’s dog and that he is being financed by a Chinese tycoon aligned to both Muhyiddin and Dr Mahathir.
Khairuddin said he is just personally struggling to get to the truth. That is very commendable. So let us start with him. Help us get to the truth that he is no one’s dog and he is not acting on anyone’s behalf and no one is behind him and the cost of everything he is doing is paid from his own pocket and does not come from a Chinese tycoon.
After all, is this not also what he wants Najib to do? So Khairuddin should do it first before he asks others to do it.
