Lingam’s case is closed, would you believe it.
First of all, if you read the New Straits Times and other newspapers, you will come away confused as to who said Lingam’s case was closed.
NST on its front page had Najib replying to Lim Guan Eng’s question in Parliament on the matter.
Good for them that they put the story on the front page.
The other newspapers buried it inside, but they had Nazri answering Lim’s question.
Big mix-up but then again, no big deal. After all, UMNO leaders are all pimps as far as I’m concerned.
The closing of the Lingam files has got to be one of the biggest cover-ups in our country’s history.
In the future, our grandchildren will watch a five-part History channel documentary on it … that is, if we and our children are not stupid enough to vote UMNO/Barisan Nasional again and again and again.
Tell your children about this when they’re old enough to understand. Teach them well.
The Royal Commission of Inquiry that was formed to probe into the case comprised former Chief Judge of Malaya Haidar Mohamed Noor former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Steve Shim Lip Kiong, former Solicitor-General Zaitun Zawiyah Puteh, historian Khoo Kay Kim and retired Court of Appeal Judge Mahadev Shankar.
They found that:
1. The video clip was authentic;Najib/Nazri said investigations were carried out but there was no solid evidence for further action.
2. Lingam was in conversation with Ahmad Fairuz over judicial appointments;
3. There was direct influence by Lingam in the elevation of judges, in particular in the appointment of Ahmad Fairuz as president of the Court of Appeal, with the possible aim of his further appointment as chief justice; and;
4. Lingam had asked tycoon Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor to involve themselves actively in the appointment of judges, in particular the appointment of Ahmad Fairuz as the Chief Judge of Malaya and subsequently, president of the Court of Appeal.
The commission identified six people to be investigated under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1961, the Sedition Act 1961, the Legal Profession Act 1976, the Official Secrets Act 1972 and the Penal Code.
They are former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Lingam, Tan, Umno secretarygeneral Tengku Adnan, Eusoff Chin and Ahmad Fairuz. [New Straits Times]
It must be then that the members of the commission, eminently qualified and vastly experienced though they were, must have been seeing things that were not there when they made their findings.
This must have been a case of collective hallucination, if Najib/Nazri and the whole apparatus of the establishment are to be believed.
Maybe we should institute another Royal Commission into this Royal Commission.
All this ties in nicely with what happened a few days ago, when Anwar’s appeal on his RM100m lawsuit against Dr M was struck out.
It was struck out because his application was not submitted in Bahasa Malaysia.
Brilliant.
Such is justice in 1Malaysia land.
Najib’s 1Malaysia. Where the executive and the judiciary are truly united.
Now Najib wants to complete the circle by bringing in the legislative into his 1Malaysia unity.
The legislative branch of the state is the only one in which we Malaysians have some semblance of a say, some measure of control, some degree of power.
This was evident on March 8 2008.
Come the next general election, Najib wants to you to give it all to him.
Before you do, think of Altantuya. Think of Lingam. Then think of your children.
You put your trust in Najib at your own peril and more importantly, that of your children.
MAHATHIR is safe now.
He won’t bother Najib no more.
