Abdul Razak Baginda acquitted
S Pathmawathy | Oct 31, 08 10:00am
The Shah Alam High Court today acquitted political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda of abetting the alleged murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.
Justice Mohd Zaki Md Yasin ruled that the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case against Abdul Razak.
The court however ordered Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 32 and Corporal Sirul Azha Umar, 37, who are members of the Special Action Force (UTK), to enter their defence to the charge of murder.
Both decided to testify under oath. They will be taking the stand on Nov 10.
The prosecution is expected to file an appeal against Abdul Razak’s acquittal.
Altantuya was allegedly shot before her body was blown up with explosives two years ago.
Azilah and Sirul are jointly charged with murdering Altantuya, 28, at a location between Lot 12843 and Lot 16735 in Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor between 10am on Oct 19, 2006 and 1am the following day.
Abdul Razak Baginda, 47, was charged with abetting them. He is a known confidante of Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, having worked on government arms procurement projects while the latter was defence minister.
The prosecution closed its case against the trio on June 23 after 151 days of testimony from 84 witnesses.
An elated Abdul Razak left the court with his wife and daughter at about 10.10am.
Refusing to address the journalists who cornered him, Abdul Razak merely said: “I just want to go home”.

Why I am not surprised? The outcome of this case, already predicted by many before the court reached its verdict. Sceptics couldn’t help but to think that the whole thing is nothing but a well written script, with spoilers for each episodes and ending easily available for ‘early screening’.

Dear Pak Lah,
How are you? I hope you are busy making plans for your promised ’missions’ that you set to ’see through’ before you step down as Prime Minister. I have faith in you to carry out your missions in the next 5 months (time is ticking fast, you still have 4 months+ now), although in the span of 5 years you are in power you have failed forgotten to ’see through’ the reforms you promised when you took over this country from the old man.
Few months after you came into power, you did give Malaysians a new hope with your anti corruption policies. You promised to clamp down on corruption, thus empowering corruption agencies and providing more avenues for the public to expose corrupt practices. You opened investigations against several prominent figures from the old man’s era, arrested some ministers and all look pretty good but as Malays proverb says ‘Ku sangka panas sampai ke petang, rupanya hujan di tengahari.’ (I thought of using another proverb ‘Hangat hangat tahi ayam’ to describe your efforts in combating corruption but I am afraid you may be offended by the word ‘tahi’.)

BN is beyond help. Idiots running amok.
Gutsy Sin Chew Daily senior journalist Tan Hoon Cheng makes Internal Security Act (ISA) history for being detained for the shortest period under the infamous detention-without-trial law – less than 20 hours! She was detained at 8.30 pm on Sept 12th and was release at 4.00 pm the next day (19.5 hours). The reason for her arrest?
According to Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar, Tan was detained for her safety as the police believed her life was “under threat”.
Quoting from Malaysiakini:
Speaking from Johor Baru this morning, Syed Hamid justified Tan’s detention under the ISA with a rare reason that it was as part of the government’s preventive measure ‘to ensure her safety’.
The minister claimed police intelligence have indicated that the journalist’s life came under threat after she reported an Umno division leader’s allegedly racist remarks.
“We have no intention of holding a reporter as after all she was just taking notes of the comments made by a certain party that led to a public debate.
“She maybe released as soon as today after police have obtained all information needed,” Syed Hamid was quoted as saying by Star Online.

A New Lingham in the Making
Excerpts from the question-and-answer session by Malaysiakini’s Andrew Ong & Tarani Palani with Hospital Pusrawi’s general manager Wan Mahmood Wan Yaacob and hospital’s medical director Kamaruddin Ahmad.Kamaruddin:
Q: If you have not been in contact with the doctor, how do you know that the doctor did not conduct a medical check-up for sodomy?
A: We based our decision on the medical report he wrote.
Q: So are there two different reports? Are they (the report that is circulating) the same (as the original)?
A: It is the same report.
Q: You do have the original report, so is it (the copy that is circulating) the genuine report?
A: I cannot say if it is the genuine unless someone confirms, the committee. Maybe, maybe not. It looks the same but it is not the original copy, that is with me.
Looks the same but it is not the same because we have the original copy.
Q: Are the contents the same? It is the original copy from Pusrawi?
A: Yes.
Q: He (Saiful) was not examined for sodomy, but (how come) the doctor said that there was no signs of sodomy.
A: He came complaining of pain in the anus, so that’s a part of the routine, you look for pus, bleeding.
Q: How is this different from an actual sodomy check-up?
A: He came complaining of anus pain not complaining of sodomy. So the doctor performed a check-up for anus pain not sodomy.
Q: What led the doctor TRO (to rule out) sodomy? Why?
A: Because Saiful mentioned that he was sodomised. Sodomy check-up has to be done by a specialist not a medical officer. You need a gut specialist. We don’t have one in Pusrawi.
Q: Does that mean that Dr Mohamed Osman is not qualified to make any conclusions?
A: He is not qualified to make any statements, any conclusions (with regards to sodomy).
Q: You have spoken to Dr Mohamed who has confirmed that he examined Saiful and confirmed that he has signed this medical report, why is the hospital still not convinced that it is the genuine medical report? Why is it taking so long to match the copy with the original copy?
A: We just realised this. When? Two days ago. It is just like VK Lingam said, “It looks like me, sounds like me but it is not me”.
Q: You are not disputing whether the medical report is real. You are disputing if Dr Mohamed has the qualifications to ascertain that (sodomy had occurred). Basically you are discrediting your own medical staff?
A: No, but not when concerning this case. Is he suspended? No, he is on leave.
Q; If the contents of the reports are the same are you acknowledging that the report could have been from Pusrawi?
A: It could have been. It is the same.
Q: There are two different writing on the medical report.
A: Yes, there are two different. The patient arrived to see a doctor, and he meet with a female doctor first. After he complained of his anus pain, than he was passed on to a male doctor (Dr Mohamed).
Somebody, please take a sledge hammer and give those two muthafuckas a good smack in the head? What kind of stupid answers they gave for the interview? I do no farking understand even half of the answers given by those dimwits from Pusrawi Hospital.

Update 1 (9am July 17th, 2008):
At this time, there was still confusion on whether Anwar was actually picked up or arrested by police but Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wan Farid Wan Salleh characterised Anwar’s sudden incarceration as an “arrest”, one which the government defended on the basis that Anwar would had “failed to meet the 2pm deadline set by police”.
In his rendezvous with reporters at the Parliament lobby, Wan Farid elucidated why Anwar would have failed to meet the 2pm deadline: “Upon the completion of his interview with the ACA, Anwar was supposed to head to the city’s police headquarters to have his statement taken regarding a sodomy report lodged by a former aide. However, he was heading home, so he couldn’t possibly have made it on time (for the interview with the police). The police were just executing a warrant of arrest against Anwar.”
Wan Farid was adamantly in full retort mode when reporters asked why police could not wait until 2pm before executing the arrest: “What’s the difference between 20 and 50 minutes? From the information I received, he voluntarily went to the police car and gave his full cooperation.”
Obviously we have bunch of nincompoops running the show. Hell, if Anwar really want to make a run for his life, let him be. LET HIM RUN and YOU ANNOUNCE it to the world, that would surely dent his credibility and a SURE SIGN of a guilty man! You then can send your UTK, SWAT, RELA, dogs, mat rempits or what ever resources you have to bomb his house and do what you want when the deadline is over, but you CAN’T arrest him as he is a WANTED TERRORIST!!
Your reasons for arresting him before the deadline with such force just unacceptable. He is an old man, 61 years old with a bad back, you think where he wants to run? What he has to gain from running? Fine. The more mistakes by the stupid government, the more people see for themselves what kind of government they are having now. The day will come.

From Malaysiakini:
Anwar arrested outside his house
Jul 16, 08 1:16pm
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was arrested by the police just outside his home in Bukit Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, at 12.55pm today.
The de facto PKR leader was on his way back to his house after being questioned by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA).
A team of police officers were waiting, according to lawyer R Sivarasa.
Anwar was driven away in a 4WD vehicle with tinted windows, escorted by a convoy of 15 patrol cars. They arrived at Kuala Lumpur police headquarters at 1.11pm.
It is believed that members of a special team from the serious crime division - sporting balaclavas and leather jackets - were also involved in the operation.
At 1.40pm, about 200 supporters and opposition parliamentarians were assembled outside the building. Among them is DAP leader Karpal Singh.
Anwar was to have met the police by 2pm to be questioned over the complaint of sodomy against him by a former aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
According to media reports today, a warrant of arrest had already been obtained, to be used in the event of a no-show.
Anwar’s wife and PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail confirmed the arrest.
She told reporters in parliament that she had received a call from Anwar and that he had complained of rough treatment by the arresting officers.
“I received a call from my husband that the police picked him up just before he reached the house,” she said.
“I didn’t have time to ask whether there was a warrant… He’s on the way - this is my guess - to the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters, where he was supposed to report at 2pm.”
Anwar also told her to return to their home first in order to calm their children and come to the police headquarters later.
“I’m apprehensive because my husband – it’s been 10 years down the road. He is not well, he has a bad back for which he has (undergone) surgery,” said Azizah, who appeared visibly distraughted and numbed by the news.
“From the brief conversation, he said that they (the police) were not gentle.”
It is learnt that Anwar is to be charged under Section 377C of the Penal Code which relates to ‘carnal intercourse against the order of nature’.
A recent amendment to the provision reads: ‘Any person who has sexual connection with another person by the introduction of any object into the vagina or anus of the other person shall be punished with imprisonment or a term which may extend to 20 years and shall also be liable to whipping.’
A number of the parliamentarians and Anwar’s family members are allowed into the IPK building while journalists are confined in the carpark.
A small team of police light-strike force, accompanied by a water-cannon truck, is keeping a watchful eye on supporters who are milling outside the IPK compound.
According to PKR MP Wee Choo Keong, who is inside the IPK building, Wan Azizah and her two daughters - Nurul Izzah and Nurul Nuha - are able to see Anwar on the 7th floor at about 2pm.
Who says our police force is not efficient? They sent a special squad, a commando team to arrest a 61 years old man with a bad back!! 
That is how efficient they are!!! 
I wish they are that efficient as well at solving real crimes - murders, snatch thefts, rapes, burglaries..
Only in Malaysia, a suspect in sodomy case is treated like a terrorist! I am so sick of this crap.
