It is a fundamental truth in all law-abiding democracies that justice must be even handed and that when circumstances arise that indicate that the interests of justice have not been served the Courts must do whatever is necessary to get to the truth; however embarrassing that may be to highly placed persons in society. On […]

NAJIB RAZAK has claimed that the did not want to use public funds to buy this huge “present” for an Arab politician and so used his own credit card to do so. How high minded of him! It is not every day that foreign politicians get presents of this size from Malaysian politicians. In fact

The open boasting by mega criminal Najib Razak that his presence in Sabah gained the by-election victory for BN is as hollow as its author is despicable. Does he really think that Kimanis voters endorse his mega millions thefts of public money, theirs included? What his crowing does highlight is the folly of the government

An item in the local Press attached this description to ex Minister and Najib relative Hioneshamuddin. The Press are often sloppy in reporting current events but to describe someone as an “UMNO lawmaker” goes beyond sloppiness and is positively misleading. Had the adjective “former” appeared before the name the correct position would have been stated.

The Prime Minister is quoted, hopefully inaccurately, as saying that some public officials had to be got rid of because of their involvement in corruption but that these were better than their replacements. No doubt he was misquoted but a correction should be issued to avoid voters getting the impression that the head of the

US mega criminal Al Capone evaded justice in the USA for years by a mixture of bribery and intimidation. He was finally dealt with by the use of tax laws; he having evaded tax due for years. Since it appears that the Solomon Islands authorities either cannot or will not deal with tax evasion by

An item from the New York Times dating back to the time of the original Altantuya murder trial,throws some interesting sidelights on a number of things. Not least in the details it affords about the “Special Action Squad” housed inside the PDRM Special Branch at that time to which the murderers Sirul Azhar Umar and Azilah

A series of articles on the subject of the first SD attested to by PI Bala (and now back in the news following the stunning new confessions by hit-man Azilah Hadri)  raise very serious doubts about the manner in which the original trials of Azilah and his colleague Sirul Azhar Umar were conducted. If these

Everyone can understand, and sympathise with, the the problems face in getting multiple 1MDB linked cases into Court without delay. The problem is indeed a massive one and with which the ordinary structure of prosecutions is not intended to cope. In these extraordinary circumstances there is a strong case for the appointment of suitably qualified

… is justice denied. It is reported that the dates for hearing a corruption case against former Minister and political boss Ahmad Zahid have been set for October. Today we are in early January. If in fact there is a backlog in hearing criminal cases that necessitates such a long delay PH must take action

A Singapore newspaper has published what it states is the substance of an interview with wanted alleged criminal Jho Low. The paper did not see fit to disclose where and how the interview took place nor where this wanted mega criminal was when it was conducted. Of course newspapers often seek sensational news stories to

The IGP is reported in the Press as saying that his men are wasting time on cases involving political personalities and so not able to catch criminals. Does this mean that he believes that there are no criminal politicians?  If so he could look in on the Najib trials. More seriously his remark, if accurately

A recent article in the national press contained a suggestion that the authorities in the country where fugitive criminal Jho Low is protected from extradition might consider that Jho would “not receive a fair trial” if returned to Malaysia. A view based on observation of the progress made over two years by Malaysia in bringing

Is how the search for mega criminal Jho Low has been described. In fact the looking part is simple, the recovery part is where the problem lies. Few Malaysians doubt that this crook has been given sanctuary in China since fleeing Malaysian justice. The CPG are, of course, fully aware of his presence on their

Former Attorney General Apandi announces he is quitting a position in UMNO on the ground that his dignity is more important! Did he stop to consider his personal dignity status when announcing Najib’s innocence to the Press while holding up to be photographed proof of Najib?s guilt?

The IGP is reported as complaining publicly about the alleged inferiority of the facilities afforded at his Headquarters and to the Force generally. Among other things he is reported to have said that several thousand personnel work at his Bukit Aman headquarters and that they even have to park their cars under trees! Whatever next?

The IGP’s announcement that the Altantuya murder investigation has been re-oened is a positive step; to be followed by a full re-enquiry. In the meantime steps should be taken to commute the death sentences so that the Australians can deport the second murderer back to Malaysia. In the meanwhile it is to be hoped, and

In swearing away his post mortem future, for the nth. time, Najib apparently swore that the did not even know the murdered Altantuya. Has he forgotten that she was part of the delegation of Malaysians, headed by him, that went to France to buy submarines and solicit massive bribes in return for the contract? The

In the latest article in Sarawak Report the question is posed when, if ever, is action going to be taken against those involved in massive corruption in Sarawak?  For decades crooked Sarawak politicians have robbed the State and its taxpayers of billion upon billion of public funds. While at the same time destroying the tropical

According to a Western proverb they “grind exceeding slow but exceeding small” That certainly seems to the case in present day Malaysia where, hardly less than two years since the corrupt BN regime was booted out by the electorate none of its criminal masterminds have proceeded through the mills of Justice to the point of

Is the question. Why would two junior police officers murder in cold blood and then desecrate the corpse, and the unborn infant within,without ever having even met the unfortunate victim, let alone having any reason to murder her? The only believable explanation is that they committed the ghastly crime on the orders of superiors. and

However many times it is sworn not to be. To use a religious procedure to try to make a lie more convincing fools nobody, especially in a repeat performance. In any case what is one more lie when a liar has been telling lies on oath for days past. Or do oaths taken in Court

Since the PDRM, or at least its CID boss, are showing such an active interest in alleged offences (of which there is no proof) and which did, or did not, occur some eighteen months ago why should they not resume the investigation into the Altantuya murder? Obviously the CID branch of the PDRM does not

The Altantuya murder re-surfaces once more and this time there is no BN Prime Minister to order that the facts be buried along with the shredded victim. It would not be proper to make new allegations about guilt at this point. But it IS proper to urge that this whole matter be re-investigated, using, if

In the light of new allegations around the murder of this Mongolian citizen there is one simple step that can be taken that should either put an end to rumours or provide reason for a further enquiry. It is a full enquiry into stocks of the explosive used to dismember her corpse. There is no
