Najadi: High time to re-open slain dad’s case

“Those who masterminded my father’s killing must be brought to justice.”
Pascal-Najadi,-Hussain-Najadi-shot
KUALA LUMPUR: Pascal Najadi, 48, the son of slain AmBank founder Hussain Najadi, 76, stressed in an email from Moscow that there are grounds for his father’s case to be re-opened. “I have mandated two most competent lawyers, Gobind Singh Deo in Malaysia, and British-born Israeli lawyer Nick Kaufman to start proceedings.”
“Those who masterminded my father’s killing must be brought to justice.”
“My father was assassinated in Malaysia for what I believe to be political reasons,” he reiterated. “Otherwise, his murder would have been investigated by the authorities concerned.”
Kaufman, added Pascal, specializes in international criminal law and international arbitration. “He has been a prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the former Yugoslavia and later at the ICC in The Hague.”
Pascal was commenting on the case of a taxi driver, Chew Siang Chee, 46, who allegedly ferried the hired gunman to the Kuan Yin Temple in Lorong Ceylon, Kuala Lumpur, where his father was gunned down on 29 July, 2013 and his wife suffered from some random shots. The alleged killer, Kong Swee Kuan, was sentenced to death last year.
The Court of Appeal on Wednesday ordered the High Court to re-hear Chew’s case. He’s appealing against his jail sentence for two convictions for possession of a Walther pistol and four live bullets at Desa Cindaimas Condominium in Jalan Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur. Chew was also ordered to be given six strokes of the cane. His jail sentence has since been amended to ten years from the earlier 14 years.
Pascal told the media in July that he “reserves the right” to take action against the Malaysian Government for doing nothing about the “politically-motivated killing” of his father. “The authorities know the identity of the person who can assist with investigations into my father’s killing but they have done nothing about it.”
He blames the Attorney-General’s Chambers for not getting the Inspector General of Police, Khalid Abu Bakar, to discharge his responsibilities on the matter. “The IGP knows far more than we do. But he may not know everything.”
“The story in the media about my father being killed at a Chinese temple over a property deal that went sour is not true. My father accompanied his female partner – they are married in Australia but not in Malaysia — to the Chinese Temple, where she was a Committee Member, for discussions. Everything went smoothly.”
The hired gunman, he thinks, must have followed them to the temple. “He did a botched job and ran off. He was shooting wildly. My father’s partner was shot as well but she survived.”
Lawyer Gobind who is also Puchong MP has since called on the IGP to investigate Pascal’s complaint that the investigations into his father’s murder were incomplete. “It will be a blot on the police force if a case is closed when there’s a complaint outstanding,” he said. “All the details of an investigation must be tied up. There cannot be any loose ends. There’s no reason for the police to ignore Pascal’s complaint.”
