Meanwhile, enjoy this wonderful rendition of I Will Always Love You from Ziana Zain. Rosmah Mansor cannot match or pegang lilin to Ziana vocal prowess la. Maybe should take singing lessons from ZianaNazri, in taking a swipe at Najib, said those who are prime minister must have high moral standards. “caught in the act of adultery” with Zaina Zain in Port Dickson, which is actually a smokescreen!! Najib had indeed been caught with that actress, but not in Port Dickson but in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Najib’s special Branch officers had inserted the story of it being in Port Dickson in order to lay the ground for his alibi and it has now been conveniently covered up and the blame place on his underlings in the Army!!

“I don’t talk about morality. We don’t preach. We don’t aspire to be prime minister. Those who aspire to be PM must show high morals  like najib

What is happening? No appeal for a murder case and yet in Raja Petra’s habeas corpus case, the appeal is made very quickly. The Malaysian public has the right to know the reasons for this apparent discrimination. Maybe, Razak Baginda is a close associate of the Deputy Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak, whereas Raja Petra is Najib’s strongest critic. If not, what else?  Please, Deputy Public Prosecutor Tun Majid Tun Hamzah, can you explain? —Din Merican

www.malaysiakini.com No appeal against Abdul Razak’s acquittal

Hafiz Yatim | November 14, 2008

The clock has run down on a possible appeal against the acquittal of political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, who had been charged with abetting in the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu. The prosecution had 14 days to file an appeal after Shah Alam High Court Judge Mohd Zaki Md Yasin delivered his ruling on October 31. Checks with the court registry at 5pm today showed that no appeal has been filed. Deputy Public Prosecutor Tun Majid Tun Hamzah(right) said the court had made a finding of fact and he confirmed that the prosecution would not file an appeal. “No further comments as there is an on-going trial,” he said when contacted Mohd Zaki in his written judgment had said: “Once the essential elements of abetment – by instigation, by conspiracy and by aiding – [...] are not proven on the basis of prima facieevidence, any other inferences and doubts that may have arisen must be resolved, as is trite, in favour of the accused person. “It is not for the court to call for the defence merely to clear or clarify such doubts [...] I find there is no prima faciecase for him (Abdul Razak, left) to answer his charge…” However, the judge ordered Special Action Squad police officers Azilah Hadri, 32, and Sirul Azhar Umar, 38, to enter their defence. They are jointly accused of murdering Altantuya, 28, at a location between Lot 12843 and Lot 16735 in Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor between 10am on Oct 19, 2006 and 1am the following day. They have elected to testify under oath when the hearing resumes on Nov 10. Their other options were either to give a statement from the dock or to remain silent. readmore here http://themalay-chronicle.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-najib-is-losing-stupid-debate.html

How A Chance Encounter With Human Excrement Empowered 

I refer to the statement by the Attorney-General’s chambers claiming that the decision to apppeal against Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s acquittal is based on evidence and the law and will enable them to obtain the grounds of judgement and apppreciate the judge’s reasoning. In fact, the appeal is politically motivated, legally unsound and influenced by the ruling BN party. If the AG’s chambers had really proceeded solely on the evidence and the law, there would have been no appeal filed against the acquittal. The only kind of law the appeal could possibly be based upon is the law of the jungle.The appeal is a major embarassment to the regional and international reputation of our country. Once again UMNO has made our justice system the object of global mock and ridicule.

The A-G’s chambers has been a willing tool in the hands of UMNO in its vicious, immoral and relentless persecution of Anwar Ibrahim. Since 1998, the A-G’s chambers has been a key player in UMNO’s attempts to imprison Anwar and terminate his political career. The current Attorney- General Abdul Gani Patail who made the decision to file this appeal, featured prominently in the first sodomy trial which ended in Anwar’s 6 years imprisonment for a crime he did not commit.

The A-G’s chambers’ excuse that they needed to file the appeal in order to ‘appreciate the grounds considered by the learned judge in arriving at that decision’ is simply absurd and untenable. The chambers must weigh the necessity of appeal based on the totality of the evidence presented at the trial and the flaws and shortcomings of the prosecution case. As clearly demonstrated by his counsel at trial, the case against Anwar is so full of holes that there is no necessity to even look at the judge’s grounds of judgement.

The filing of this appeal is an outrageous example of the unscrupulous abuse of State powers which has become the trademark of the Barisan Nasional coalition over the past 54 years of its corrupt and authoritarian rule. This appeal is further evidence that Najib’s promises of change and reform were nothing more than a massive and hypocritical fraud upon the people of this nation. The motive for the appeal is to jail Anwar and hinder Pakatan Rakyat from winning Federal power in the coming general election. Come what may, Anwar Ibrahim and Pakatan Rakyat will never falter or fail in the ongoing battle for change and reform, and for a fair and just Malaysia.

“Most Malaysians have grown so cynical over the unrelenting series of criminal charges brought against Anwar, that the proposition (that BN wants to stop Anwar) is the most natural and compelling inference to be drawn,” Bar Council president Lim Chee Wee (right) told The Malaysian Insider.

He also questioned why Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden — “the third most important man in the Attorney General’s Chambers” — should spend his time “prosecuting this crime which is victimless and based on morality” instead of more serious offences such as corruption and murder.

James Chin, a political science lecturer at Monash University, told AP that the move reflects negatively on Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s claims that he does not interfere with the Judiciary and is serious about ensuring civil liberty.

“It’s back to square one. It is a setback for Anwar because he will have to spend time in the appeal process and won’t be able to focus fully on forthcoming elections,” he said.

Ibrahim Suffian of independent pollsters Merdeka Center also told Reuters “the appeal by the prosecution plays into the opposition story that the government will not stop at anything to get rid of the Anwar politically. It also clouds Prime Minister Najib’s reforms at this crucial time before an election. Like it or not, Malaysians tend to feel that the government is behind this [trial],” he said.

The opposition, especially Anwar himself, has campaigned hard across the country ever since Saiful first made the accusation in June 2008, claiming the allegation is a political ploy to end Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) hopes of coming into power. But the government failed to seize the opportunity given by the High Court here to “bow out gracefully from Anwar’s politically motivated prosecution,” said Human Rights Watch.

“This decision means the citizens of Malaysia will be further subjected to the more political machinations in the courtroom as the government perpetuates this travesty of a trial for a crime that should not be a crime in the first place,” said the human rights watchdog’s deputy Asia chief Phil Robertson.

 Anwar, 64, was similarly indicted of sodomy in 1998, before being exonerated six years later.The PKR de facto leader then led the PR opposition pact to deny BN its customary two-third majority of Parliament and five state governments.

Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan,  chairman of electoral reforms movement Bersih, believes the Najib administration’s move may prove to be counterproductive.“Any goodwill they may have gained by the acquittal now down the drain with this appeal. Pity!” she said on micro-blogging site Twitter yesterday READMORE CLICK HERE http://themalay-chronicle.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-najib-is-losing-stupid-debate.html
