MPs lodge police report: Arrest Datuk T trio, set up RCI on govt's involvement

MPs lodge police report: Arrest Datuk T trio, set up RCI on govt's involvement

Calls are growing for the trio led by former Malacca chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik to be arrested and charged for screening pornographic material and criminally intimidating Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim and PKR president Wan Azizah.

Members of Parliament Azan Ismail, S Manikavasagam and Loh Gwo-Burne will be lodging a police report against Rahim and his accomplices, businessman Shazryl Eskay and Perkasa treasurer Shuib Lazim, at the Dang Wangi police station at 11.30am on Thursday.

“There is really no excuse for the police. The three have on their own come forward and confessed to being responsible for the screening of pornographic material, and all the more so as they have misled people into believing the man in the video is Anwar Ibrahim," Beruas MP Ngeh Koo Ham, who is a practising lawyer, told Malaysia Chronicle.

“The police should investigate this matter immediately. It is important that the law be enforced regardless of who is involved when it comes to with breaking the law,” Puchong MP Gobind Singh told Malaysia Chronicle.

100% confirmed

Anwar himself had earlier lodged a police report urging an immediate investigation on who was behind the 21-minute video tape which allgedely showed a man looking like him having sex in an unknown hotel with a prostitute.

The Opposition Leader has denied being the man in the tape and has accused Prime Minister Najib Razak and Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein of supporting the latest conspiracy to bring him down, just when the Sarawak polls are being held.

MP for Sungei Petani Johari Abdul, the man who exposed the Datuk T trio, had said it was "100 per cent confirmed" the man in the tape was not Anwar. The trio had shown Johari the video, condemned Anwar as being 'promiscuous' and tried to entice Johari to defect with offers of 'financial security'.

According to Subang MP Sivarasa Rasiah, it was very clearly stated in Section 292 of the Penal Code that anyone caught “publicly exhibiting any obscene or pornographic material” was liable to a jail term of three years.

Under the 'heavier' Section 5(1) of the Film Censorship Act 2002 , such a person is liable to be fined up to RM50,000 or jailed up to five years or both.

"The breaches in law are clear. The whole of Malaysia is now watching to see how Najib and Hisham will behave. Will they uphold the law or will be a case of special treatment and different laws for Umno leaders," Sivarasa toldMalaysia Chronicle.

A trend of political conspiracies

Like most Malaysians, Siva believes the scandal was another political conspiracy aimed at tarnishing Anwar and to entice elected representatives from his PKR party over to the ruling BN coalition.

This is not the first time that Najib has resorted to "sordid" methods to cling to power, the Subang MP added.

"A clear pattern has emerged. Under Najib, the BN increasingly uses a combination of intimidation and money to lure over MPs and assemblymen from the Pakatan. For example, in Gobala case, they threatened him with a RM3,000 fine which would disqualify him as MP and at the same time, they also offered him huge amounts of money," said Siva. he was referring to Padang Serai MP N Gobalakrishnan, who recently quit PKR.

Meanwhile, there are concerns that the Najib administration will "come up with an excuse" not to punish the trio as minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nazri Aziz had hinted that since the three men were trying to do 'public good' by exposing Anwar.

"You tell me what is wrong. Everybody says it is against the law, but tell me, which law? Whoever knows should come forward to inform us,” Malaysiakini reported Nazri as saying.

RCI should be on who was behind the Datuk T trio

But other lawyers rubbished his statement and accused him of trying to shield Najib at the expense of the law and the integrity of the country's judiciary.

"That's rubbish. As the de-facto law minister, Nazri should know better. It is quite incredbile that he could make such a statement," PKR legal bureau chief Latheefa Koya told Malaysia Chronicle.

Batu MP Tian Chua also ridiculed the suggestion made by the trio for a Royal Commission of Inquiry.

"It is the silliest thing. They are the ones who commited the crime and yet they are calling for a Royal probe against their victim. If there is to be an RCI, it should be on who initiated the whole conspiracy, which were the government agencies involved," Tian told Malaysia Chronicle.

"What was the role of the PM, Home Minister Minister, the Special Branch, the mainstream media and did former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad also play a part? And what was their objective? Do Malaysians want this sort of government, this sort of lifestyle and this sort of culture." - Malaysia Chronicle
