Why is the court trying to block Rosli from giving his statement?

December 31, 2012

COMMENT: Like RPK and following his lead, I have been doing whatever I can in terms of publicising Lawyer Rosli Dahlan's plight. What I have not done is to go to the streets and the courts to protest this gross injustice. But I wonder what the Malaysian Bar Council is doing when a member of its fraternity is a victim of the A-G's tyranny. I hope Bar Council President Lim Chee Wee is reading this.

I also wonder why Opposition Parliamentarians, the so-called champions of justice, are silent when Rosli needs some help. Making political capital of a fellow Malaysian's struggle in our courts against the powerful Attorney-General, Gani Patail is only self serving, and it makes a mockery of their struggle for freedom, democracy and justice.–Din Merican

Why is the court trying to block Lawyer Rosli Dahlan from giving his statement?

What is it that the court is trying to block Rosli from revealing? How will Rosli's testimony hurt those who walk in the corridors of power? We should be concerned about what they are trying to deny us from knowing, not about exploiting issues for political gain.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Someone asked me why I no longer bother to expose the wrongdoings of those who walk in the corridors of power, in particular those wrongdoings by the Barisan Nasional government.

Well, first of all, in the past, I was the only one doing this. For eight years since August 2004 and for five years before that since 1999 I have been fighting a lone battle revealing the excesses and transgressions of those who walk in the corridors of power. And the Police have raided my house and confiscated documents and computers from my house no less than half a dozen times. I have also been detained without trial twice and arrested and charged a couple more times because of my 'crimes'.

Today, we have many prominent people doing that job. So do you still need me to do that? We have Rafizi Ramli, P. Balasubramanian, Deepak Jaikishan, ex-IGP Musa Hassan, ex-Kuala Lumpur CID Chief Mat Zain, Ex-CCID Chief Ramli Yussuf, ex-Health Minister Chua Jui Meng, ex-UMNO activists such as Aspan Alias and Mohd Ariff Sabri who joined DAP, ex-UMNO Sabah leaders such as Lajim Ukin, Wilfred Bumburing, Dr Ibrahim Menudin and Yahya Lampong, and many, many more.

In short, there are scores of people now doing the job I used to do. And most of these people are whistleblowers. They used to be part of the corrupt system and now they are revealing insider information. Who better to expose these shenanigans than people who were once part of that corrupt system? Certainly they would have first-hand information that I do not have.

Secondly, for more than 13 years since 1999 (eight of those years with Malaysia Today) I have been revealing scandal after scandal but nothing was done about the matter. More importantly, I did not reveal these scandals AFTER they had happened like all the others. I revealed them BEFORE they happened so that something could be done about them, a sort of pre-emptive strike. But nothing was done about the matter and what I warned would happen really happened in the end.

What is the point with screaming after the horse has bolted? You need to close the barn door before the horse bolts. Closing it after the horse has bolted is no good. And this is what most of you do. You scream after it happens. When we reveal it before it happens you do nothing. And then you ask me why I do not talk about it.

What is the point of talking about something after it happens when you do nothing about the matter when I talk about if before it happens? What kind of readers I have. It is a sheer waste of time trying to educate you. It is better for I just sit back and watch Pakatan Rakyat get whacked in the coming general elections and then write my "I told you so" article.

Malaysia Today revealed that George Kent was going to get the Ampang LRT project ONE YEAR before it was awarded to them. What was done about it? Now that it has already been awarded to George Kent you make so much noise and Rafizi Ramli holds press conference after press conference. For what? For syok sendiri is it? I even revealed who Tan Kay Hock is plus his links to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak two years before the announcement of the project. And what did you do? Nothing!

Malaysia Today revealed that a company linked to the ex-Chief Justice and UMNO lawyer was going to get the RM2.2 billion Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex) project BEFORE it was awarded to them. And what was done about it? You waited until the project was awarded to them and then you make so much noise. For what? For syok sendiri is it?

Years ago Malaysia Today exposed the RM8 billion MAS fiasco and also revealed how this matter is linked to the RM30 billion Forex disaster of 20 years ago. Malaysia Today also revealed the contents of Tajuddin Ramli's Affidavit where he admitted that his takeover of MAS is linked to the Forex issue (Bank Negara) and was a move to camouflage this scandal.

And what was done about it? Now the matter has been settled out of court so that the truth stays hidden. And now you scream. For what? For syok sendiri is it?

Remember back in 2006-2007 Malaysia Today revealed the links between the Police and the underworld? Remember my article 'All Roads lead to Putrajaya'? Today, everyone is singing the song about how the Police are linked to the underworld. And the lead singer in this chorus is the ex-IGP himself, the head of the underworld in the Police force. And you all scream what a great guy he is and that he should be a Pakatan Rakyat candidate in the coming general election.

What crap! What a bunch of losers you all are! I really hope that Barisan Nasional wins the general election so that I can have the pleasure of seeing your faces when I write my "I told you so" article.

A month ago I wrote a report called 'No, it is not over yet'. (READ HERE). And what did you do about it? Now read the Malaysiakini news report below called 'Jan 3 decision on AG's objection to Rosli's revelation'.

Yes, lawyer Rosli Dahlan is being fixed up by Malaysia's legal system. And I wrote about it a month ago and nothing was done about the matter. On Thursday , January 3 2013, Rosli is going to become yet another of the many victims of Malaysia's corrupt legal system.

Do you care? Will anyone do something about it? Will Rosli suffer the same fate as the many who came before Malaysia's legal system and were denied justice? Or will you just wait until it happens so that you can exploit this whole thing for political gain?

I suspect you want it to happen. I suspect you want Rosli to suffer injustice. And then when it happens you can use this episode as an election issue. You do not care about justice. You just want to use injustice as a political issue and to win votes. You want people to suffer so that you can win the election.

We should come out and warn the judge that on January 3, 2013 if they deny Rosli justice then expect our wrath. We should make sure that Rosli receives justice and not hope that he suffers injustice so that we can use that as an election issue.

Okay, read (below) what are the secrets that they are trying to keep a secret. They want to block Rosli from testifying and also want to expunge his Affidavit so that Malaysians will never discover the truth. But Malaysia Today is going to reveal the truth anyway whether they block it or not.

And that is the job of Malaysia Today. We reveal the untold story. We engage in pre-emption strikes. Our job is not to exploit issues for political gain and to win elections. And that is what makes Malaysia Today far better than all the others. We reveal secrets to educate you. Others do so to win votes. And idiots do not know the difference. Are you one of those idiots? Chances are you are.
