Rafidah, get the MACC to clear your name

By MT Webmaster Last updated Mar 20, 2018

Very simple solution. Rafidah can use the AGC, the MACC and the judicial system to clear her name. And it will take only one day to do this because the investigation and the file is already complete. Instead of denying the allegation or insulting me by calling me names, let the system clear Rafidah because it was the Prime Minister and Umno that made the allegations against her since the time when she was still in the government.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Rafidah Aziz is one more of those just like Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar Ibrahim, Muhyiddin Yassin, Shafie Apdal, etc., who used to walk in the corridors of power and made billions from abusing their power and now turn around and whack the party that they exploited in which to make money.

Rafidah said I am a joke and she is wondering how much I am being paid to write ‘rubbish’. Rubbish, of course, is subjective and is entirely up to one’s interpretation. What is important is she never denied that about RM2 billion worth of APs were issued every year in the 21 years she was the Minister-in-charge of issuing APs and of allocating public company shares or ‘pink forms’ to ‘Bumiputera investors’.

Anyway, why does Rafidah want to know how much I am being paid? Was she not paid when she was a Member of Parliament? Was she not paid when she was a Cabinet Minister? Is she not being paid a pension now that she has retired? And was not all that money she has been receiving, for the last 32 years, taxpayers’ money?

How many million Ringgit has Rafidah been paid so far over the last 32 years — salaries, allowances and claims included? For her kawasan alone that probably comes to RM100 million over 32 years. So, stop acting like Mother Teresa. Rafidah has cost the Malaysian taxpayers more than RM100 million and she is still costing them money as long as she continues breathing and refuses to die.

I remember once back when Rafidah was the Minister of Trade and the Malay Chamber of Commerce raised the issue of Ministers abusing their power to help Umnoputeras get rich under the disguise of implementing the New Economic Policy (NEP). The NEP is supposed to help Bumiputeras and not help a handful of Umnoputeras to get rich, the Malay Chamber argued. Terengganu Member of Parliament Alias Ali then replied: Umnoputeras are also Malays, so what’s wrong if they also get rich?

The point is not whether Umnoputeras are also Malays or not. The issue is the Minister of Trade was abusing her power to help her cronies get rich. That was the bone of contention of the Malay Chamber. And that was the reason the issue was raised. And that matter was raised almost 30 years ago back around 1989-1990.

Mahathir said Rafidah lied to him

So, 30 years ago, most Malays already knew about those close to the Minister of Trade becoming millionaires. And when the matter was raised during a conference, they replied that these people are also Malays so what is wrong if they also become rich? But the issue here is about cronyism, abuse of power and corruption, not about whether they are Malays or not.

It is not I who say Rafidah is corrupt and abused her power to make her cronies rich. The Malay Chamber of Commerce said this, and openly during conferences and meetings on top of that. The then Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said this. Umno said this – and is still saying it until today. And of course, the opposition said it as well (but they have stopped saying it since Rafidah now works for Pakatan Harapan).

If Rafidah insists she is innocent then why not invite the MACC to investigate the allegations against her?

Ezam was sent to jail for two years to save Rafidah from arrest and indictment

This was what was reported by Malaysiakini on 7th August 2002:

“The accused (Mohd Ezam Mohd Nor) in his defence admitted to having a press conference on Nov 6, 1999 to expose the corruption and abuse of power by International Trade and Industry minister Rafidah Aziz and former Melaka chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik and he knew and was sure that those documents were official secrets but still took the risk,” said the judge.

The document that Ezam showed the reporters was the Minutes of the Meeting held in the Ministry of Trade and Industry, which Rafidah, as Minister, chaired. The meeting was about the allocation of shares and amongst those names on the list of shares to be approved was the name of Rafidah’s son-in-law.

Rafidah was accused of conflict of interest, or maybe even corruption, for chairing a meeting to allocate shares to her own son-in-law. Rafidah, however, argued that while she did chair the meeting, when the committee discussed the allocation of shares to her son-in-law, she left the room and came back only after the committee had finished discussing the matter.

Mahathir said he saved Rafidah from jail not less than three times

Mahathir, in turn, admitted he saved Rafidah by asking the AGC and the MACC to close the file and not pursue the case (Mahathir said he saved Rafidah three times in total). In fact, the AGC had already recommended prosecution so Rafidah’s goose was more or less cooked and there was no way she could escape jail. Instead, Ezam was the one who was sent to jail.

So, why not Rafidah ask the MACC to reopen this file? Reopen the file and let the MACC tell us whether Rafidah did or did not commit corrupt acts. The investigation is already complete so the MACC need not even do any more work. Even the AGC’s recommendation to prosecute her is still in the file. Just reopen the file and arrest Rafidah and charge her. Then the court can decide if she is innocent or guilty.

Very simple solution. Rafidah can use the AGC, the MACC and the judicial system to clear her name. And it will take only one day to do this because the investigation and the file is already complete. Instead of denying the allegation or insulting me by calling me names, let the system clear Rafidah because it was the Prime Minister and Umno that made the allegations against her since the time when she was still in the government.

Is Rafidah denying that RM2 billion worth of APS were issued every year and that the lion’s share were given to just three people: S.M. Nasimuddin S.M. Amin, Syed Azman Syed Ibrahim and Mohd Haniff Abdul Aziz? For two decades Malaysians have been asking why are these three people receiving RM1 billion worth of APs a year? Who are these three people to Rafidah? What qualifies these three people to receive RM1 billion worth of APs every year while Malaysians need to pay RM30,000-50,000 extra for the car they buy to cover the cost of these APs?

Who is Mohd Haniff to Rafidah?

Answer that question. And ask the MACC to come in and investigate those three (one who has since died). Where is the estimated RM20-25 billion that these people made? What happened to that money and how much was kickback to Rafidah? Even Umno wants the answer to that question — although Pakatan Harapan may no longer be interested to know the answer because they are not really interested in your corrupt acts if you support the opposition.

In the meantime, Rafidah can tell us about her relationship with one of the ‘AP Kings’, Mohd Haniff Abdul Aziz. Everybody in the motor industry knows Haniff is her toy-boy. Does she want to deny this? Haniff is more than just her proxy or nominee. Their relationship stretches from the boardroom to the bedroom. And this is no secret, just like it is no secret she frequents casinos in the US and the UK and blows millions at one go.
