Suaram: Budaya 'terlepas hukuman' makin buruk Posted: 25 Jul 2011 11:19 PM PDT Budaya terlepas daripada hukuman yang dinikmati oleh polis dan agensi penguatkuasaan yang lain telah bertambah buruk, menurut laporan hak asasi manusia yang dikeluarkan Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) bagi tahun 2010. Meskipun aduan ke atas polis terus menimbun, namun bilangan mereka yang 'gemar melepaskan tembakan' terus meningkat setiap tahun. Dalam mendedahkan fakta itu, pengerusi Suaram, K Arumugam (kiri) menjangkakan situasai berkenaan akan bertambah buruk kerana pihak berkuasa gagal menangani situasi hak asasi manusia. "Situasi hak asasi manusia tahun depan akan bertambah buruk kerana mereka yang berkuasa tidak mahu mengubah. Mereka terus berpaut untuk berkuasa dan bukannya berjuang untuk kebebasan," kata aktivis hak asasi itu. [Baca berita penuh] Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search.

SPRM pamerkan bilik soal-siasat baru Posted: 25 Jul 2011 10:57 PM PDT Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) hari ini membuktikan keseriusan mereka melaksanakan cadangan yang dibuat oleh Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja dengan mempamerkan kepada media bilik soal-siasatnya yang baru yang terletak di bahagian bawah tanah di Putrajaya. Tiga puluh enam bilik soal-siasat seumpama itu yang bernilai kira-kira antara RM140,000 dan RM160,000 setiap satu akan didirikan di seluruh negara bagi membuktikan ketelusan SPRM ketika mencatatakan rakaman daripada saksi dan mereka yang dituduh. Pengarah siasatan SPRM Mustafar Ali berkata sistem yang sama diguna-pakai oleh pihak berkuasa anti rasuah di Hong Kong. "Saksi atau tertuduh akan dibawa ke bilik soal-siasat, di mana kenyataan mereka akan dirakamkan secara visual dan audio melalui peralatan rakaman. Bagi suspek, kami akan bekalkan sesalinan rakaman itu. Bagi saksi, kami akan mengemukakan salinan rakaman, jika mereka tidak beri kerjasama ketika beri keterangan di mahkamah," kata Mustafar. Dengan langkah ini, beliau berharap reputasi SPRM sebagai badan pencegah rasuah dapat dipulihkan. "Sebenarnya, moral kami tetap tinggi di sebalik saranan RCI," kata Mustafar ketika membawa wartawan melihat bilik soal-siasat yang bercorak seperti bunker di paras B1 ibu pejabatnya di Putrajaya.

Zunar ban more dangerous to M'sia than cartoons Posted: 25 Jul 2011 04:23 AM PDT Cartoonists Rights Network International (CRNI) is a free speech and human rights NGO protecting and monitoring editorial cartoonists around the world who find themselves in trouble because of their influential cartoons. For the last 10 years the government of Malaysia has been seeking to silence one of the more popular political cartoonists in Kuala Lumpur, Zulkiflee Anwar Ulhaque, better known as 'Zunar'. In the past two years he has been arrested and detained, his office has been raided, his cartoons books have been seized, and his publishers and editors have been prevented from publishing his cartoons. Zunar recently took the government to court appealing last year's decision to ban his books On July 14, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur decided to uphold last year's banning of his political cartoon books and dismissed his appeal. 'Perak Darul Kartun' and '1 Funny Malaysia', which featured more than 150 individual cartoons, were initially banned by the Malaysian government in June 2010 under Section 7 of the Printing Presses and Publications Act of 1984. Without elaborating, the judge held, "their contents are not suitable and are detrimental to public order". Nothing could be further from the truth. These two books focus the public's attention on important political and social issues such as conspiracies against the former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu and the Scorpene submarine scandal. CRNI deplores the decision of High Court Judge Rohana Yusof who agreed with the government's argument that the cartoons would lead to public disorder. As influential as Zunar's work is in shaping Malaysian pubic opinion, there is no evidence that the cartoons would lead to public disorder. In so ruling, the court has furthermore ignored freedom of expression rights as provided by the Malaysian federal constitution. CRNI has reviewed the banned cartoon books 'Perak Darul Kartun' and '1 Funny Malaysia' and found that all the cartoons in these books are in keeping with excepted international standards of political cartooning. CRNI is deeply concerned that by this decision the court gives a license to government to act more harshly in suppressing both political cartoonists and investigative journalists. In the long run suppression of speech is a much graver threat to public order than one cartoonist's well-informed opinions. CRNI urges the Malaysian government and the Malaysian Court to respect the rights of free speech for all Malaysian citizens and reverse its July 14 decision. Robert Russell is director of CRNI.

Bersih 2.0 a true display of Malaysians' strengths Posted: 25 Jul 2011 03:36 AM PDT I came to Malaysia on June 14 with the intention of conducting research on race and government policy in Malaysian secondary schools and universities. The topic seemed to be the most rich and interesting at the time. However, my real interests lie in political agency and human geography. So it should come at no surprise that I instead dove into the political scene. I met some really great people and got involved with the group from 50B. And you better believe that I was at the rally this past July 9. I have written already about my personal experience at the rally, which was, by the way, fantastic. From reading various post-rally articles and Twitter updates, I think that people have already talked a lot about camaraderie. So I'm going to talk here about diversity. From what I have observed in this country, diversity can be turned into real power if used well. At the rally, there were people of all races, age groups, and socioeconomic backgrounds. In addition, the crowd was coloured with people of different political views. The rally-goers were not a homogeneous group by any stretch of the imagination. Differences and disagreements did not keep people from coming together at this rally. And this is what made it seem more powerful for me. The fact that so many different people came together to stand for whatever cause (for Bersih, for general discontent with the government, etc.) disproves the idea that the Malaysian population is plagued by inherent racism. The numbers also disprove the idea that the Malaysian population is apathetic and easily deceived. People are really coming to desire change. And its infectious. In addition, not only are people desiring such change, but they are willing to take action to ensure that it happens. I want to thank everyone who made this experience so exhilarating and empowering for me, and I hope to rejoin the masses for the next battle, whatever and whenever it may be.

Gigi, rusuk patah: Keluarga tetap tunggu laporan HKL Posted: 24 Jul 2011 10:29 PM PDT Keluarga Allahyarham Baharudin Ahmad masih tertanya-tanya bagaimanakah polis mendapat fakta berhubung sebab kematian lelaki yang meninggal dunia semasa menyertai perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0 di KLCC, Kuala Lumpur dua minggu lalu. Sedangkan, pihak keluarga sendiri masih belum menerima laporan bedah siasat yang dijalankan ke atas jenazah Allahyarham pada malam 9 Julai lalu, kata seorang anak mangsa berkenaan, Mohd Nasrul. "Saya tertanya-tanya, kenapa kami belum dapat lagi (laporan bedah siasat), tapi polis dah keluar kenyataan," kata Mohd Nasrul, 22, ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini hari ini. Beliau juga enggan memberikan komen lanjut berhubung kecederaan yang dialami mangsa berkenaan memandangkan keluarganya masih belum menerima laporan tersebut walau telah berkali-kali mendesak hospital berkenaan. Namun, polis telahpun menafikan dakwaan bahawa pasukan berkenaan telah melakukan keganasan ke atas Allahyarham Baharudin manakala kecederaan dialami mangsa itu pula berpunca daripada rawatan yang diberikan ke atasnya. Seorang pegawai kanan Polis Bukit Aman, Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid pada Jumaat lalu dilaporkan sebagai berkata, tulang rusuk mangsa yang patah itu juga "mungkin" disebabkan oleh rawatan kecemasan yang diberikan ke atasnya. Gigi lelaki berusia 58 tahun itu pula "mungkin" patah disebabkan tiub yang dimasukkan ke dalam mulut lelaki berkenaan bagi tujuan "menyedarkannya semula." Salleh turut mendakwa, tiada gas pemedih mata dilepaskan di lokasi KLCC dan tiada anggota polis berada di lokasi Baharudin meninggal dunia. Ketika ditanya, anak mangsa berkenaan bagaimanapun pantas menjawab, beliau tidak akan memberikan komen selagi belum melihat laporan bedah siasat berkenaan. "Kami pun tak dapat laporan bedah siasat, sebab kematian pun tak tahu. Jadi tunggu keputusan bedah siasat dahulu baru kami boleh komen," kata Mohd Nasrul lagi. Tambahnya, pihak Hospital Kuala Lumpur memberitahu beliau bahawa keluarga mangsa tersebut hanya akan menerima keputusan berkenaan dalam tempoh "empat hingga enam minggu lagi." Anggota keluarga Allahyarham sebelum ini mengemukakan memorandum kepada Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia dan juga kepada Ketua Polis Negara, mendakwa kecederaan yang dialami mangsa itu mungkin berpunca daripada keganasan polis.

Pemuda PAS: Akhirnya SPR akui pengundi hantu Posted: 24 Jul 2011 10:03 PM PDT Kenyataan SPR berhubung 'klon' dalam daftar pemilih secara tidak langsung merupakan pengakuan bahawa pengundi hantu benar-benar wujud, dakwa Pemuda PAS. "Ini merupakan kenyataan 'u-turn' (pusingan-u) SPR mengenai pengundi hantu yang selama ini tidak pernah diakui, malah menuduh Pakatan Rakyat mengada-adakan cerita untuk melunturkan kayakinan rakyat kepadanya," kata pengerusi pemulihan demokrasi dan mobilisasi Pemuda PAS Suhaizan Kaiat. Suhaizan (kanan) juga berkata, pengakuan itu dianggap kejayaan kepada BERSIH 2.0 apabila pembersihan daftar pemilih termasuk antara lapan tuntutannya. Timbalan Pengerusi SPR Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar semalam dilaporkan berkata, pihaknya tidak pernah menafikan kewujudan 'klon' dalam daftar pemilih. Sehubungan itu, jelas SPR sentiasa menggesa pengundi untuk tampil memeriksa pendaftaran mereka selain mengharapkan kerjasama parti politik untuk membersihkannya. Beliau menjawab persolaan yang ditimbulkan Suhaizan sebelum itu berhubung dakwaan pendaftaran berganda di Baling dan Kuala Nerang. Boleh batal kemenangan Wan Ahmad (bawah, berkemeja biru) juga berkata, SPR tidak dapat mengeluarkan nama terbabit tanpa pengesahan daripada Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara, lapor The Star. Dalam kenyataan hari ini, Suhaizan juga mengkritik proses pembatalan data bertindan yang didakwa memerlukan proses rumit. Ini kerana Peraturan-peraturan Pilihan Raya (Perjalanan Pilihan Raya) 1981 menyatakan daftar yang sedia berkuatkuasa menjadi keterangan prima facie bagi menentukan sama ada seseorang berhak mengundi. Sehubungan itu, Suhaizan berkata, jika pilihan raya diadakan pada waktu terdekat, ia akan menggunakan daftar pemilih yang diragui. "Mana-mana parti yang menang dalam pilihanraya ke-13 tetapi mempunyai data-data pemilih yang meragukan mungkin boleh dibatalkan kemenangannya. Ini merupakan sesuatu yang serius bakal akan berlaku. "Oleh itu Pemuda PAS mendesak agar ditubuhkan suatu suruhanjaya diraja mengkaji sistem perjalanan pilihan raya dalam negara kita yang dilihat bermasalah," katanya yang juga ketua Pemuda PAS Johor.

Star, M'sians have plenty to be angry about Posted: 24 Jul 2011 03:22 AM PDT Wong Chun Wai of Star wrote, "Can we stop being angry people and try to make sense of the issues affecting the nation instead? Or better still, laugh at them?" in his Sunday column, Of Angry Birds and Angry Malaysians in Sunday Star today. A young man, about to become a father and a husband, saw his life tragically ended after being subjected to near inhumane interrogation by a government institution. Teoh Beng Hock was under such duress that, according to the RCI, it drove him to allegedly commit suicide. And this is someone who is apparently innocent of any wrongdoings. An elderly lady, drenched as a result of the water cannons, walks away from a brigade of riot police, eyes stinging from tear gas. All she did was to take part in a peaceful march for electoral reforms with thousand others who suffered the same fate. A mainstream newspaper and a so-called NGO with its bellicose leader is allowed to spew out racist rants; fan religious tensions; and spread fantastic conspiracy theories (Jewish/Communist/Christian domination, take your pick) to divert attention away from the failings of the government, with barely a murmur of disapproval from those whom we look to for protection of our shared values. Blatant corruption is not investigated, or when raised, treated with the customary "tak cukup bukti"; a government that ask its people to tighten our belts but is barely able to contain its own bloated spending; and public institutions such as the police and MACC that spend more time defending its obvious masters rather than the public. Last but not least, our mainstream media that appeals to the lowest journalistic denominator - substituting real, unbiased reporting for a shameless, one-sided politicised news and opinions that stretches the truth or manufacture controversies to hide the real issues. And we are wondering why Malaysians are angry? What is anger, if not a mix of frustration and passion for the subject matter? When we are angry with someone, it is usually with the people we love or care about. When we are angry with certain events, it is because the events affect us personally, directly or indirectly. Yes, we are angry. We are absolutely livid with the current leadership that have virtually stripped our public institutions of their independence, dignity and best traditions. We are enraged by so-called leaders that preaches 1Malaysia on the one hand and turns around to defend those that rubbish it. We are furious with politicians who think that we, voters, are smart enough to vote them into office but clueless to think of ourselves that they see fit to contaminate our minds with half-truths, spins and censorship. We are furious when we see this country of plenty being plundered by those who were supposed to protect it. Being angry shows we care. Being angry shows we still love Malaysia. Being angry shows we are hopeful. Hopeful that Malaysia may yet be redeemed by leaders who possessed the real conviction to steer this country to its full potential, for the betterment of our children and not their own well-being; leaders who serve the people with humility and not with arrogance and sense of entitlement. Anger is good. Anger is fuel for change. Wong shouldn't worry about angry Malaysians. He should instead worry the day Malaysians stop being angry. When that day comes, it won't be replaced by laughter, as he suggest, but in most likelihood, by tears and resignation. I pray that the day won't come.

Nazri: Tiada lagi s'jaya kaji hasil siasatan kes TBH Posted: 23 Jul 2011 09:15 PM PDT Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz berkata tidak akan ditubuhkan satu lagi suruhanjaya semata-mata untuk memuaskan hati mereka yang tidak puashati dengan keputusan suruhanjaya diraja menyiasat kematian Teoh Beng Hock. "Pendedahan laporan suruhanjaya (diraja) kepada umum menutup kes kematian mendiang Teoh dan segalanya telah selesai," katanya dalam wawancara yang disiarkan Mingguan Malaysia hari ini. "Itu memang tidak boleh dan tidak akan dilakukan. Melainkan ada ruang dibenarkan kepada mahkamah, yang mana mereka nak teruskan, teruskanlah," tambahnya. Nazri berkata, tidak akan ada lagi satu suruhanjaya untuk kaji keputusan suruhanjaya yang lain. "Kerajaan telah berbelanja berjuta ringgit untuk suruhanjaya ini dan itu adalah duit rakyat. "Saya merayu kepada rakyat supaya menganggap episod ini ditutup dan telah selesai dengan keluarnya laporan suruhanjaya (diraja). "Buatlah kerja-kerja yang boleh memajukan negara dan jangan terus dengan isu ini sehingga kita tidak boleh bergerak ke mana-mana," tambahnya. Menurutnya, suruhanjaya tersebut dianggotai orang yang tinggi imej dan reputasi mereka. "Mereka ada reputasi yang perlu dipelihara. TIdak mungkin mereka tunduk kepada tekanan untuk membuat sesuatu keputusan kerana takut atau pilih kasih. "Kedua, ini di atas permintaan mereka (keluarga Beng Hock) dan bukannya kerajaan. "Ketiga, tujuannya untuk mendapatkan kebenaran, bukannya memuaskan hati mana-mana pihak sama ada keluarga Beng Hock atau Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM)," katanya. Nazri berkata, beliau percaya bukan sahaja keluarga mendiang Teoh tidak berpuashati, SPRM pun tidak berpuashati kerana banyak perkara dibangkitkan tentang aspek penyiasatan mereka. "Yang penting kita tidak peduli sama ada masih ada pihak tidak berpuashati atau sebaliknya kerana tujuan mengadakan mengadakan suruhanjaya ini adalah untuk kebenaran bukan untuk memuaskan hati mana-mana pihak. "Itu yang penting. Kalau masih ada pihak tidak berpuashati maka terpulang kepada mereka kerana bukan buat sesuatu untuk memuaskan hati sesiapa," tambahnya. Nazri mengulangi bahawa Malaysia adalah negara bebas, "kalau mereka nak buat rayuan dan memang ada ruang di bawah undang-undang kita, buatlah, kita tak ada perkara yang ditakutkan". "Soal tidak puashati blogger, pembangkang atau keluarga Beng Hock itu kita faham sangat sebab sepanjang dua tahun lebih telah ditanamkan di pemikiran rakyat bahawa mendiang Beng Hock telah dibunuh. "Apabila keluar laporan reaksi itu semenangnya kita faham dan telah dijangka. Tetapi saya yakin mereka yang ikuti isu ini dengan penuh sabar, yang mahu kebenaran ditunjukkan, saya pecaya mereka dapat menerima laporan yang dibentangkan oleh suruhanjaya," tambahnya. Katanya, kematian Teoh disebabkan oleh kegagalan mematuhi prosedur operasi standard (SOP) yang dimahukan SPRM. "Keadaan itu berlaku disebabkan overzealous dan melibatkan segelintir kakitangan SPRM. Ini perangai masing-masing, macam mana pun kalau sudah buat salah, kena disiplinkan," katanya. Nazri mengumpamakan perkara itu seperti pepatah Melayu 'kerana nila setitik rosak susu sebelanga'.

RapidKL rugi RM10 juta akibat kecurian kabel Posted: 23 Jul 2011 08:28 PM PDT Pengendali perkhidmatan dua aliran transit aliran ringan (LRT) Rangkaian Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras Sdn Bhd (RapidKL) kerugian kira-kira RM10 juta akibat kecurian kabel pada sistem semboyannya dalam tempoh enam bulan pertama tahun ini. Pengurus Besar Bahagian Operasi Rel RaipdKL, Bukhari Mohamed berkata setakat ini terdapat 20 kes dilaporkan membabitkan kehilangan kabel pada sistem itu di semua aliran LRT terutamanya di kawasan Ampang dan Sri Petaling.

"Pencerobohan ini menyukarkan sistem operasi perjalanan LRT terutamanya dalam aspek perjalanan, kelajuan dan jarak masa," katanya. Mengenai program latihan kecemasan itu, Bukhari berkata program itu turut melibatkan kerjasama antaranya pihak polis, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) dan Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (PPUKM) bagi memberi pendedahan kepada kakitangan RapidKL ketika berhadapan dengan situasi kebakaran di stesen LRT. "Ini adalah latihan kebakaran pertama bagi tahun ini yang melibatkan 300 orang kakitangan RapidKL termasuk anggota polis dan bomba. Kita juga merancang untuk membuat latihan ini di LRT Kelana Jaya pada bulan September tahun ini," katanya.

PSM6 habeas corpus and a failed judiciary Posted: 23 Jul 2011 12:31 AM PDT Aliran is deeply disillusioned with the judiciary with regards to the detention of the PSM 6. Instead of depending on technicalities and loopholes in the law, it should focus on fairness and justice. It should be prominently and predominantly concerned with freedom and human rights of the citizens. When the freedom of individuals is deprived by dubious means, the judiciary should be uncompromising in defending that freedom. Dr Jeyakumar and his five companions have been incarcerated since July 2. Nobody believes the accusations levelled against them. The whole exercise has turned into farcical nonsense. They were initially accused of "waging war against the King". But that accusation has been dropped now. What does this suggest with regard to the integrity of the police? It only means that they had cooked up an excuse to detain them. Then they were accused of reviving 'communism' in this country. Images of past communists leaders printed on T-shirts in their possession do not support this theory. Besides, communism is now no longer a contentious issue. What does this prove? The police are grasping at straws in desperation to justify their action. But it won't do them any good. Then the six were detained under the Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance 1969 (EO) under the false pretence that they are a threat to public security. These six citizens are no goons or gangsters to pose any such threat. Nevertheless, they are accused of being a threat to national security. What does it prove? It only means that any flimsy grounds would suffice to detain any individual under this anti-democratic and draconian law, which blatantly denies a person his natural justice, including the right to defend himself or herself. But it won't win support for the police. Ridiculously, the six are now projected as the prime movers of Bersih 2.0, when the entire country is aware that it is the coalition of 62 NGOs headed by Ambiga Sreenevasan that was the sole mover of Bersih 2.0. These six are members of a political party and therefore had no role to play in Bersih 2.0, that excluded political parties from its steering committee. What does it prove? It means that there is no respect for truth and the rule of law. But it is not going to help the police to shore up support for the Barisan Nasional. It is under these circumstances that an application was made for a habeas corpus hearing to question the conduct of the police in detaining these six PSM members. After much haggling, July 22 was fixed for the hearing. But now this hearing has been postponed to 5 August. Any application under habeas corpus should – and must – deserve priority to ensure that it is heard almost immediately. There is an urgency that cannot be ignored. There is the question of justice that has to be addressed at the earliest possible time without any undue delay. This urgency (for the six's detention) is no longer there. Whatever the reason for justifying this frustrating postponement, it will not look good for the judiciary. Its battered image – from previous absurd judicial pronouncements that had discredited the judiciary – will suffer a further ignominious blow. It appears that there is no saving grace for the judiciary! P Ramakrishnan is Aliran president. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search.

Zahid: Jangan buruk imej k'jaan dengan isu Scorpene Posted: 23 Jul 2011 08:11 AM PDT Menteri Pertahanan Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi memberi amaran kepada pihak tertentu supaya tidak memburukkan imej negara dengan menimbulkan isu kononnya terdapat penyelewengan dalam pembelian dua kapal selam 'Scorpene' dari Perancis pada 2002. Zahid diminta mengulas mengenai kehadiran peguam Perancis William Bourdon di Pulau Pinang kelmarin di majlis penerangan berhubung perkembangan terbaru dalam siasatan perjanjian pembelian kapal selam itu antara kerajaan Malaysia dengan firma pertahanan DCNS yang berpangkalan di Perancis. "Pembelian kapal selam merupakan sesuatu yang telus sebagaimana yang telah saya nyatakan di Parlimen. Harus ingat, sebarang kesilapan yang dilakukan oleh mereka, jangan ingat mereka boleh lepas," katanya dalam sidang media selepas merasmikan Program Jiwa Murni Angkatan Tentera Malaysia sempena Ops Pasir Sabah di Pulau Danawan di Semporna. Beliau turut menegaskan bahawa pihaknya merasakan ada pihak tertentu yang mempunyai niat jahat di sebalik perkara itu dengan memburukkan kerajaan dan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yang pada ketika itu menjadi menteri pertahanan. "Jangan hanya menuduh sebelah pihak...Kami juga punya bukti bahawa mereka mempunyai niat jahat. Saya akan pertahankan ini. Mereka harus ingat, jangan ingat bahawa mereka sahaja yang benar," katanya. Beliau mengingatkan orang ramai supaya tidak percaya dengan dakwaan itu. - Bernama Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search.

Isteri mahu RCI siasat punca kematian Sarbaini Posted: 22 Jul 2011 10:56 PM PDT Kecewa dengan siasatan polis, Maziah Manap, isteri allahyarham Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed, yang dijumpai mati di bangunan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) di KualalLumpur mahu kerajaan membentuk Suruhanjaya Diraja (RCI) bagi menyiasat punca kematian suaminya itu. "Inkues tidak menyiasat secara serius kemungkinan ada unsur jenayah. Saya mahu Suruhanjaya Diraja. Ini kali pertama saya tuntut Suruhajanya Diraja," katanya selepas membuat laporan di balai polis Kelana Jaya pagi ini. Maziah juga meminta polis menyiasat semula kes itu berikutan pendedahan oleh Raja Petra Kamaruddin yang menulis di blognya bahawa seorang pegawai SPRM mengarahkan penolong pengarah Kastam itu berdiri di kaki lima tingkap bilik pantri sebagai 'hukuman' kerana menukar pengakuannya dalam kes rasuah yang disiasat. Dakwanya, apa yang berlaku semasa inkues sekarang sama seperti yang didakwa oleh Raja Petra. Raja Petra mendakwa pegawai SPRM itu dilaporkan berkata 'orang macam kau ni lebih baik mati dari hidup menyusahkan orang lain.' Kata-kata itu mengejutkan Sarbaini yang bertindak memanjat tingkap apabila terus dihina. Tulisnya lagi secara tiba-tiba tali pinggang Sarbaini tersangkut di kaki lima tingkap, dan dia hilang pertimbangan lalu jatuh. Sarbaini, penolong pengarah Kastam yang disiasat dalam Operasi 3B, ditemui mati di pejabat SPRM Kuala Lumpur pada 6 April lalu ketika datang secara sukarela untuk menukar pengakuannya. Sebanyak 27 saksi telah selesai memberi keterangan di hadapan Aizatul Akmal sehingga 15 Julai lalu. [Baca berita penuh] Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search.
