Proven: we have a bunch of crooks in the MACC

By MT Webmaster Last updated Apr 11, 2016

The other problem is their ‘key witness’, Mohan, who was supposed to testify that he did not assault and injure Rosli, is now himself a convicted criminal. And if a crook’s testimony is the only defence the MACC has, they might as well admit defeat and settle the matter with Rosli.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Because the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is supposed to be the paragon of virtue, nobility and integrity, not to mention the watchdog of the taxpayers’ purse, we assume they can do no wrong.

I suppose this is the same way we look at people of the cloth — until we discover that many are involved in paedophile activities, homosexual in nature included. And the same with the MACC when too many people are mysteriously thrown out the window and are found dead on the ground floor.

Rosli Dahlan

When lawyer Rosli Dahlan was arrested and assaulted in his office by MACC officers on the eve of Hari Raya nine years ago in October 2007, not many batted an eyelid. If the MACC arrested Rosli then it can only be because he is corrupt or accepted a bribe.

Ramli Yusoff

The truth is, Rosli was arrested for acting as the lawyer for the Director of the CCID, Ramli Yusoff. Ramli was investigating the IGP’s links with the Chinese underworld syndicate plus he investigated and prepared a report to the Prime Minister regarding transgressions involving Malaysia’s national airlines, MAS, to the tune of billions.

Both those investigations were opening up a can of worms involving people in high places, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad included. Hence they needed to silence Ramli by arresting him under fabricated charges of corruption. And when Rosli represented Ramli as his lawyer, they arrested Rosli as well.

M. Mohan

Eventually, the man who arrested and assaulted Rosli, M. Mohan, was himself arrested, charged and convicted for corruption and was jailed a total of 39 years plus fined RM2.275 million (SEE THE STORY BELOW) while Kevin Morais, the person who prosecuted Rosli on fabricated charges, was found dead in a drum filled with cement.

Luckily they did not accuse Rosli of Kevin’s murder although there are probably 100 people in town who have a reason to do so.

Anyway, Rosli filed a multi-million suit against the MACC and various other parties and won. MACC planned to appeal that judgement but the Commissioner, Abu Kassim Mohamed, refused to go to court on the excuse that he is not well and is too sick to attend the court hearing.

Abu Kassim Mohamed

In short, Abu Kassim knew that the MACC was in the wrong and that they tried to fix up two innocent people on fabricated charges (which the trial judge threw out without the defence being called) and if he went to court he would be greatly embarrassed.

After getting stuck for so long (and the incident is nine years old, mind you), today the MACC apologised to Rosli in open court (SEE THE FIVE-PAGE APOLOGY LETTER BELOW).

So there you are. The MACC tried to fix up innocent people to cover a crime. And Ramli and Rosli are not the only two people to get fixed up by the MACC. Many people have become victims of the MACC.

And that brings us to the issue of the MACC trying to fix up the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Tun Razak.

If the MACC can fix up the number one person in Malaysia, what are Ramli and Rosli? Ramli and Rosli should just be thankful they are not amongst those who were thrown out the window.

The MACC is still not satisfied that the Attorney General is not arresting and charging Najib. So they want to appeal the Attorney General’s decision. But then it is up to the Attorney General whether to press charges and if so under what charge.

The MACC is trying to dispute this. They know the Attorney General is right but they are hoping they can create the impression that the Attorney General is wrong. They hope that the court of public opinion might not understand that it is the Attorney General’s prerogative whether to charge or not and if so under what charge.

The MACC is also hoping that Bank Negara can attack Najib from another angle so that if the MACC’s case cannot stick then at least they have the Bank Negara case to ride on. However, just like in the case of MACC, Bank Negara also does not have a leg to stand on.

And many in Umno are actually quite fed up with this whole matter. They know that Bank Negara was the source of the leak that The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) was talking about in its 2nd July 2015 and 30th March 2016 reports. And they want the four senior people in Bank Negara who are involved in the ANC (Anti-Najib Campaign) to be crucified.

Considering that Rosli Dahlan is the first Malaysian in history to be able to tame the MACC and force them to admit that their officers are crooks, maybe Najib should engage Rosli as his lawyer to do battle with the MACC.

A total of 39 years jail and RM2.275 million fine for MACC officer for corruption

(Bernama, 6 July 2012) – An assistant superintendent at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was sentenced to a total of 39 years in prison and fined RM2.275 million for corruption.

Sessions judge Azhaniz Teh Azman Teh handed down the sentence on M. Mohan, 39, after finding that the defence had failed to raise doubts against the prosecution’s case.

Mohan was sentenced to 13 years’ jail and fined RM1.25 million in default 60 months’ jail on the first count of soliciting RM250,000 from A. Sinnaiah as an inducement not to proceed investigations on the latter for allegedly bribing officials at the National Registration Department and the Immigration Department.

On the second charge of corruptly agreeing to accept RM200,000 from Sinnaiah for the same purpose, Mohan was sentenced to 13 years’ jail and fined RM1 million in default 50 months’ jail.

Both the offences were committed at the Selangor MACC office at Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam, between 11am and 1pm on Oct 22, 2009.

He was also found guilty of soliciting RM5,000 from Sinnaiah, for the same purpose, at a restaurant in Pandan Indah, Selangor, on Oct 25, 2009 and was sentenced to 13 years’ jail and fined RM25,000, in default eight months’ jail.

Azhaniz Teh ordered Mohan to serve the sentences concurrently from today.

However, he allowed a stay of the jail sentence pending an appeal following a request by Mohan’s lawyer, R. Ratha Kirushnan, but ordered Mohan to pay the fine today.

Azhaniz Teh also set bail of RM50,000.

Deputy public prosecutor Nik Azrin Zairin Nik Abdullah, who prosecuted, had earlier objected to the request for a stay of execution, saying that there were no special circumstances for that, even though Mohan had been with MACC for 18 years.
