Ahmad Sarbani’s death: the lies and deceptions by the MACC (part 5)

Posted: 17 Jul 2011 08:44 AM PDT

Malaysia Today has been left with little choice but to now proceed with parts 5 to 8 on the lies and deceptions by the MACC. The truth will now have to be revealed and those slime-balls and scumbags who walk in the corridors of power will have to be stripped naked for all and sundry to see.

THE TIME HAS COME TO EXPOSE THE KILLERS OF AHMAD SARBAINI MOHAMED

Do you remember last month Malaysia Today ran a four-part series on the lies and deceptions behind the death of Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed, the Customs Deputy Director who was killed on 6th April 2011 while under the custody of the MACC?

We stopped at Part 4 because we wanted to give the MACC, the Police and AG Gani Patail a chance to redeem themselves and, for once, to come clean and tell the truth.

Malaysia Today promised that Part 5 would only be published if they try to whitewash the Inquest and sweep everything under the carpet. It looks like the MACC and those in collaboration with them remain unrepentant after the fiasco of Teoh Beng Hock's death.

Malaysia Today has been left with little choice but to now proceed with parts 5 to 8 on the lies and deceptions by the MACC. The truth will now have to be revealed and those slime-balls and scumbags who walk in the corridors of power will have to be stripped naked for all and sundry to see.

The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of Malaysians by getting DSP Sharul Othman Mansor of PDRM's Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) to say in the Inquest that Ahmad Sarbaini did not commit suicide and neither was his death a homicide.

To placate Ahmad Sarbaini's family and the powerful Customs Union, AG Gani Patail has used that Mr Fixit Lawyer Extraordinaire, Dato Seri Shafee Abdullah, to cook up a story that Ahmad Sarbaini was attempting to escape by jumping out of the window to a nearby concrete roof and ended up falling to his death instead.

In others words, Ahmad Sarbaini died while attempting to escape by flying out of the window like a little bird.

Well, this is not what our Little Bird tells us, our Deep Throats in the top echelons of the Royal Malaysian Police or PDRM. What they have told us is a very different story indeed.

Malaysia Today does not wish to be contemptuous of Coroner Aizatul Akmal Maharani. However, since the Coroner has already made a site visit to the MACC building at Jalan Cochrane, he can himself see how preposterous that theory of 'accidental death' will sound to the family, the Customs Union, and to all Malaysians who wish to see the name of an innocent dead man cleared and his murderers identified and brought to justice.

Now, first of all, allow Malaysia Today to help you recap and understand the facts and the evidence to this whole tragedy. Then we will reveal the identities of the killers. Hopefully, Coroner Aizatul Akmal will also arrive at the same finding or else he is going to look like one very silly dude.

Ops 3 B

On 28th March 2011, the MACC HQ launched a sensational Ops 3B. On 1st April (probably it was meant as an April Fool's joke), the MACC arrested 62 officers in Penang, Johor, Selangor and Pahang. The arrested Customs officers were supposed to have been part of a nationwide syndicate that had cheated the government of tax revenues in excess of RM108 billion.

How the MACC came up with that figure is a mystery and a candidate for an entry into Ripley's Believe it or Not. In any event, the MACC no longer cited that figure of RM108 billion in their official statements. They probably realised that this was just a figment of their imagination, a fantasy they created and ended up with them having to fix people to make it believable.

The task and objective given by the MACC HQ to the respective state offices, including MACC KL, was to detect and detain (kenal dan tahan). Thus, these raids and arrests were made without any prior investigations. After all, the MACC's modus operandi is to arrest first and conduct an investigation later.

The mainstream media was fed with leaked stories of Customs officers owning extraordinary wealth in their bank accounts and seizures of gold bars and bags of cash (like you see in the 'Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves' movie). This created a public frenzy.

However, until now, not a single one of these officers has been charged for any crime.

Ahmad Sarbaini's Arrest

On 1st April at 12 noon, Customs IO Sheikh Niza Khairy Bin Sheikh Mohamad went to Ahmad Sarbaini's office with several other MACC officers to arrest him. Although Ahmad Sarbaini was embarrassed, as a God-fearing man he remained calm and collected.

These MACC officers admitted in court that from the very beginning they noted that Ahmad Sarbaini was very co-operative and calm. When asked about his assets, without any hesitation Ahmad Sarbaini brought them to a house that he co-owned with his wife and which they had rented out, and to the house that he was staying in at that time (medium and low cost).

At his own house, he told his daughter to tell his wife that he would not be coming back that evening.

Ahmad Sarbaini also managed to compile and provide Sheikh Niza's team with all his and his wife's available bank statements. All this information was provided by Ahmad Sarbaini at the time he was arrested.

Because the MACC did not conduct any prior investigation on him, they did not know what questions to ask him after they had arrested him. So they kept him overnight at the police lockup in Bukit Jalil.

That is also part of the MACC's modus operandi to strike fear into the hearts of those arrested.

Ahmad Sarbaini's First Cautioned Statement

Although he was arrested at noon of 1st April, Ahmad Sarbaini spent much of that April Fool's Day in the lockup. By the next day, on 2nd April, as the permitted 24-hours detention period was up, the MACC realised they would have to release him or apply to remand him.

Since the MACC did not have any evidence of corruption against him, the MACC could not seek to remand him. So the Ketua Unit Siasatan (KUS) Mohd Fauzi Bin Hussin @ Che Mamat directed MACC IO Mohd Rosly Bin Mohd Saupy to record Ahmad Sarbaini's statement as an arrested/accused person. By doing so, Fauzi wanted to cover up for the MACC's false arrest against Ahmad Sarbaini.

That Cautioned Statement recorded under section 53(3) of the MACC Act was the first statement given by Ahmad Sarbaini and covered six pages where he gave a detailed description of all his and his family's assets. It was recorded in 45 minutes and Ahmad Sarbaini specifically denied having ever received any "wang imbuhan" while discharging his Customs duties.

Malaysia Today will publish a copy of that Cautioned Statement in Part 8 of this report and you will be able to see at the beginning of page 4 where he made that categorical denial.

Now you know why we need a Third Force. Sometimes politicians, even those from the opposition, forget what they promise us and go back on their word. And we, the voters who put them into office, have to suffer and pay the price for their forgetfulness.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

"Kedah entertainment ban resurrects Barisan Alternatif ghost," said Debra Chong in her article in The Malaysian Insider today. You can read the full text of the article below.

Anyway, the matter has since been resolved. The PAS-led Kedah state government will not be banning entertainment in the state during the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan after all. Instead, only Muslims would be banned from patronising these establishments. The rest can continue to enjoy themselves the whole year around instead of just 11 months in a year.

But I am sure the matter will not end here. The government-owned mainstream media will continue to talk about this to 'poke fire' in an attempt to create a rift between DAP and PAS. And PKR, who is caught in between, will continue to maintain a deafening silence.

What caught my attention was Debra's (or The Malaysian Insider's) choice of heading: "Kedah entertainment ban resurrects Barisan Alternatif ghost". She did not fully explain what she means by this other than state: "in what could be a repeat of the momentous split between the secular party and Islamist PAS in 2001".

Maybe some of you do not understand what this means or are not too clear about what happened ten years ago in 2001. Well, allow me to enlighten you.

Soon after the 1999 general election, the then Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, declared that Malaysia is already an Islamic country so we do not need PAS. Dr Mahathir also said that Umno is the largest Islamic party in the world, much larger than PAS, which is only a quarter or less the size of Umno in terms of membership.

This started the 'I am more Islamic than you' one-upmanship game between PAS and Umno.

Then Dr Mahathir goaded PAS by saying that the Islamic party promises all sorts of things before the elections, but now that they are running two states, Kelantan and Terengganu, they do not deliver on their promises. "Where is the promise of Islamic laws?" screams Dr Mahathir.

PAS sudah tak tahan. Dr Mahathir has been goading them and laughing at them and is calling the party a liar and a hypocrite. PAS had to demonstrate otherwise. So it unilaterally announced -- without the consensus of its other three coalition partners in Barisan Alternatif (PKN, DAP and PRM) -- that the Terengganu state government is going to introduce Islamic laws in the state.

And with that the Menteri Besar announced that they are going to introduce the ISD (Islamic State Document). This more or less replied to Dr Mahathir's allegations and proved that PAS is sincere about Islam and it is not mere lip service and political talk.

But what is the ISD? How is it going to work?

The ISD was only an aspiration (hasrat). There was no clear plan yet on how it was going to work. In other words, they had no blueprint on its implementation but were merely stating an intention.

What PAS was doing was merely to reply to Dr Mahathir in an attempt to silence him and win the 'I am more Islamic than you' argument. And this got DAP upset. So it left the opposition coalition in a huff and became an independent opposition party.

DAP felt that the move by PAS was going to hurt them big time. Certainly Chinese support would erode and DAP would lose votes. So DAP had to leave Barisan Alternatif to protect itself.

Ten years on and Kedah is doing what Terengganu once did -- make a unilateral decision without consultation with the other coalition members and without consensus.

If you can remember, Barisan Alternatif before this, and Pakatan Rakyat now, had announced that everything within the opposition coalition is done based on consensus. A simple majority is not enough, they said. It must be all or nothing. Now, PAS Kedah accuses DAP of 'interfering' in the state administration.

Back in 1999, the Menteri Besar of Terengganu said that the Terengganu state government is not a PAS government but a BA government (in spite of PAS dominating the State Assembly and DAP not having even one seat). Whenever Hadi Awang announced anything he would say, "Kerajaan Barisan Alternatif Terengganu….." He would never say, "Kerajaan PAS Terengganu….."

But when they announced the ISD it was PAS and not BA that did so.

That was the bone of contention and which upset many people -- DAP in particular.

But then, should DAP keep making threats that they are going to leave Pakatan Rakyat every time things do not go their way? And should PAS keep saying that "we rule Kedah" or "we rule Kelantan" just because they have a majority in those two states? Would we be happy if Lim Guan Eng announces that DAP rules Penang so PKR and PAS just shut the fuck up and don't interfere in Penang?

I just want to know one thing. Is DAP running Penang, PKR running Selangor, and PAS running Kedah and Kelantan, or are these four states being run by Pakatan Rakyat? And do they run these states based on consensus and unanimous decisions (and not based on a simple majority) or can one party in the coalition do things with total disregard for the other coalition members?

Kedah entertainment ban resurrects Barisan Alternatif ghost

Debra Chong, The Malaysian Insider

Despite warm and strong ties, DAP publicity chief Tony Pua has suggested his party pull out from the three-year-old Pakatan Rakyat (PR) pact, ostensibly over a spat with ally PAS' state-enforced entertainment ban in Kedah during the Muslim fasting month.

DAP leaders discussed the issue at a national leadership retreat yesterday, in what could be a repeat of the momentous split between the secular party and Islamist PAS in 2001 when both first joined forces under the short-lived Barisan Alternatif (BA) to counter the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.

Pua aired the matter in a Twitter post yesterday, saying he "is of the view that we shouldn't be part of a coalition if our concerns are not heard or heeded. Don't want to become like MCA or Gerakan in BN."

Contacted by The Malaysian Insider, Pua declined at first to elaborate on his tweet except to say it was his personal opinion and not the party's official position.

But he admitted that the subject of cutting off ties with its political allies had been raised at the party's retreat in Seremban and will be discussed further when the PR leadership meets on Tuesday for its strategy session.

He also played coy when asked to elaborate if he was upset over the Kedah ban or if it was a build-up of frustration of working with PAS, posting a smiley icon of an angel with its eyes closed in the Blackberry messenger chat.

Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, political secretary to Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak, issued a strongly-worded statement yesterday that the state government will not withdraw the ruling despite opposition, saying the government was just enforcing a 1997 law.

"Ustaz Azizan will not back down! That is his stand on this issue," said Sanusi in the statement carried by PAS website Harakahdaily.

However, the national PAS leadership has asked the Kedah leader to explain the ban in a meeting to be held later today.

Several other social media users, however, appeared to have formed their own conclusions about DAP-PAS ties as seen in their response to Pua on both Twitter and Facebook, where the debate carried on.

Replying to Pua on Facebook, Richard Yong remarked: "YB, i know which issue u referring to.. shld stress more on team work and get the respective top leaders to deliberate on it."

Another Facebooker, Simon Poon posted the following"but YB , how do u see the current problems surfaced at Kedah? Is the coalition going to have a joint conference as to provide a clearer guideline and picture so that the public understand well instead of just asking us to send u all to putrajaya".

On Twitter, a user going by the name "xyplyx xyplyx" challenged: "then how DAP wan 2 rule M'sia?" prompting Pua to shoot back "whts d point? If so desperate to rule, might as well join BN. Must win w/principles. Not win at all costs juz 2 become Minister".

The Petaling Jaya Utara MP later said to The Malaysian Insider that it would not be the first time DAP has broken off ties with its political allies, in a nod to the Chinese-majority party's withdrawal from the BA in 2001, after a similar falling out with PAS over the latter's insistence on setting up an Islamic state in then PAS-ruled Terengganu

The DAP last locked horns with PAS in January this year over Selangor's proposed ban on Muslims from working in premises that sell alcohol.

The Selangor government later claimed the ban was merely a guideline before withdrawing the ruling pending further study. Following that debacle, PR leaders have promised to consult each other on issues that could affect their pact which has survived three years.

DAP and PAS are in the PR pact together with PKR that was formed after the three parties won four more states and more than one-third of the federal parliament. The three parties have applied to form a coalition but the Registrar of Societies (RoS) has yet to give his nod.

PR parties received a boost in the past week after the BN government clamped down hard on the Bersih 2.0 rally calling for free and fair elections. Analysts and diplomats agreed the harsh security move cut some of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's popularity especially in the urban areas and among the middle-class, a key voting demographic in the country.

But the pact could suffer if DAP and PAS continue to bicker over the Kedah ban, several PR leaders conceded to The Malaysian Insider.
