BERSAMA’s integrity under scrutiny as conspiracy theories surface over Nik Nazmi’s ‘khlawat’ case

 

BOTH his personal confession and three-month suspension from party activities have failed to quell the khalwat (close proximity) arrest of BERSAMA co-leader Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad from being talk of the town but only to spark more curiosity into his extramarital affair.

Taking the cue from Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) chairman Datuk Salehuddin Saidin that JAIS had acted on an official complaint and in accordance with the law, the detailed evidence gathering has set tongues wagging – notably systematic tracking of the former PKR vice-president and his so-called partner – by the person who lodged the report.

“The SPY who snooped on Nik Nazmi is really thorough. How many thousands does it cost to hire him to spy on one’s partner,” opined Threader Cempaka Helena (@_cempakahelena9) who shared the viral roll of 72 images of the duo’s movement backdated to May this year.

“Could it be Nik Nazmi’s wife or the woman’s husband who hired the SPY rather than a political opponent? How can we know for everyone has been fooled by Nazmi’s innocent face? ”

Editor’s Note: Based on various media sources, Nik Nazmi, 44, was married to Dr Imaan Abdul Rahim on August 7, 2005 with the couple having one son. However, they officially divorced by ‘talak satu’ (no room for reconciliation) at the Kuala Lumpur Syariah High Court on July 1, 2019.

He later married Noor Farah Rahim in January 2021.

A similar sentiment was echoed by tech enthusiast Mat Dev (@matdev123) who called on BERSAMA backers to refrain from speculating that the former natural resources and environmental sustainability minister “has been victimised or trapped”.

“Either the ex-minister’s wife or the husband of the scandalous woman who could have hired the private investigator,” suspected the self-proclaimed “politically unbiased” influencer.

“Most importantly. Tamarind Square (a commercial hub in Cyberjaya) is their favourite spot. Has anyone ever come across them?”

‘Character assassination’

The fascination with who actually spilled the beans aside, one sam hashim (@abufaris5369) insinuated the need for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to step into the picture.

“The khalwat issue is one thing, the issue of money belonging to the rakyat is another,” asserted the Threader.

“If the foundation associated with the woman has ever received funds, contracts or appointments during Nik Nazmi’s time as minister, open all records. Let them be thoroughly investigated.”

As members of BERSAMA are somehow forced into re-assessing the quality of the five-month-old party’s leadership, one loyalist claimed that “the real target” is BERSAMA’s co-leader #1 Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli.

“But it’s a bit difficult to target Rafizi. Because his schedule is very tight. Moreover, Rafizi is not a kaki lepak (loiterer) and not easily be close to someone,” insisted one Abu Bakar Az-Zubaidiy (@abu_bakar_azzubaidiy).

“So, the negligence, carelessness and weak points of Nik Nazmi are being exploited.”

Elsewhere, the Threader is a staunch believer that the former Setiawangsa MP has been set up given “BERSAMA’s rising influence has made the party a force to be reckoned with”.

“Therefore, ‘character assassination’ needs to be carried out immediately to curb the influence of BERSAMA,” he deduced.

Conditions to Najib’s house arrest: Not SOP but subsidiary legislation and published in the Gazette — Hafiz Hassan

 

I refer to the report that the Malaysian Prisons Department is now in the final phase of drafting regulations and conditions for the implementation of home detention following the conditional pardon decision that allows former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence through this method.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that the matter is being pursued following a letter from the Pardons Board secretariat, which allows the Malaysian Prisons Department to set conditions for the implementation of house arrest.

When news broke exactly a month ago that Najib had been granted a conditional royal pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest, I shared the conditions that may be attached to Najib serving his prison sentence under house arrest. 

Allow me to share the conditions again, namely:

(a)     attend any such counselling, therapy, test, assessment, and other activity for the purpose of facilitating his rehabilitation and reintegration into society as the prison authorities may require, at any time and place that the prison authorities may specify;

(b)     report to provide a specimen of his urine or hair for testing at any time and place that the prison authorities may specify;

(c)     remain indoors at his place of residence, or at any other place that the prison authorities may specify, at any time that the prison authorities may specify;

(d)     allow the prison authorities and any authorised person to his place of residence, or any other place he is required to remain at, to determine his compliance with any condition of the house arrest or for any purpose relating to his rehabilitation;

(e)     not consume any controlled drug, psychoactive substance, specified psychoactive substance or alcoholic beverage, or use or inhale any intoxicating substance;

(f)      not have in his possession any controlled drug or psychoactive substance;

(g)      to enable the electronic monitoring of his whereabouts —

(i)       wear any electronic monitoring device issued by the prison authorities on any part of his person that the prison authorities may specify;

(ii)      allow the prison authorities and any authorised person to enter his place of residence, or any other place he is required to remain at, to install, maintain, repair or retrieve any electronic monitoring device;

(iii)    comply with all requirements to ensure the proper functioning of any electronic monitoring device issued to him or installed at his place of residence or any other place he is required to remain at;

(iv)     comply with all reporting requirements imposed on him;

(v)      not tamper with any electronic monitoring device issued to him or installed at his place of residence, or any other place he is required to remain at, or otherwise prevent or obstruct the electronic monitoring of his whereabouts; and

(h)     comply with such other conditions as the Commissioner-General of Prisons may specify in the order.

Since Saifuddin conceded, rightly, that “[our] country has never had (house arrest) before, but suddenly there is” the Prisons Department may adopt the above conditions which are some of the conditions under neighbouring Singapore’s home detention order (see Section 54(1) of the Prisons Act 1993).

A word of caution though.

Let not the conditions to Najib’s house arrest be standard operating procedures (SOP).

SOP is not law.

Let the conditions be made subsidiary or secondary legislation under the Prison Act 1995 (Act 537) and therefore published in the Gazette. - malaymail
