The attorney-general’s (AG) “cold silence” on various alleged scandals involving the ex-IGP and Abdul Gani Patail himself, and federal minister Anifah Aman, is an embarrasment to the AG’s Chambers, said DAP.
“The AG has no right to remain silent in these circumstances. His conduct is shameful, to say the least,” said opposition MP Gobind Singh Deo this morning in an email.
The Puchong MP (right) said Abdul Gani’s conduct is “embarrassing” to the AG’s Chambers.
“Even deputy public prosecutors (DPP) are beginning to feel uncomfortable with this silence. It is difficult for them to work, to speak of justice when there are so many clouds hanging over their own office to begin with.
“They are, quite frankly, embarrassed,” he said.

Last week whistleblower websiteSarawak Report alleged that Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) documents on its investigations into timber corruption in Sabah had named Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman and his brother, Foreign Minister Anifah Aman.
The report alleged that Abdul Gani, a relative of the duo, had “forced the MACC to shelve its entire investigation”
Yesterday Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) called on the AG to recuse himself from deciding the prosecution of the case.
Abdul Gani has also been implicated in an alleged coverup - dubbed ‘Copgate’ - involving former IGP Musa Hassan in an investigation into Johor kingpin aTengku Goh.
The AG has been conspicuously silent on both the cases.
“I am asking the AG to respond to the allegations both in respect of Copgate and now in respect of timber investigations in Sabah,” said Gobind.
‘MACC must come clean’
Gobind also called on the MACC to clarify the recent allegations on the Sabah timber scandal that Musa Aman in 2009 and Anifahyesterday had denied involvement in.
“Is this one of those cases earlier mentioned where charges have been recommended but no action taken to date?”
“If so, when were recommendations made, and why has there been no action until now?”
The MP was referring to MACC deputy commissioner (operations) Mohd Shukri Abdull’s statement on March 29 blaming the AG’s Chambers for not charging cases that the commission had investigated and submitted for further action.
Shukri, who was responding to criticisms against the commission for not investigating high profile cases of corruption, however had not elaborated on which cases the AG’s Chambers had rejected.

The MACC does not belong to AG ? guess he is not guilty so he can not do anything
ReplyDeleteberita2 yang disebarkan oleh Sarawak report tak boleh dipercayai sangat.
ReplyDeleteKerana kita juga perlu ingat apa rasuah sebenarnya. Kerana setiap orang ada pandangan mereka sendiri mengenai rasuah. Maka kita tidak pasti adakah kes ini boleh dikatakan rasuah atau bukan. Namun itu semua tidak penting sekarang yang penting kalau benar itu rasuah buktikan dengan bukti kukuh.
ReplyDeleteAda pihak yang cuba untuk menjatuhkan beliau. Kita sedia maklum yang mana Datuk Musa adalah KM yang lama memegang jawatan KM Sabah. Jadi mungkin kerana usaha dan kejayaan beliau menyebabkan penduduk Sabah terus menyokong beliau.
ReplyDeleteCan we imagine the past story that YS have not enough money to pay contractors because state reserves down to RM168m. So this mean the situation that time is to bad. But different right now that YS can stand and changed dramatically with Musa Aman held the state goverment. Musa Aman changed the image of YS and make the excellent business operation and financial. He make the contractor or componies not only highly profitable, but well-respected internationally. Good Job Datuk Musa Aman and other members party. So BN can do the best under Datuk Musa Aman.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Musa linked to corruption. I'm not sure why, but for my own opinion this is probably the only certain strategy to topple Datuk Musa Aman. Because we know Datuk Musa is clean with all the personal problems. That is why corruption is linked with Datuk. Because this issue is easily created by their selfishness. But it will not undermine the people's support to him. Previously been linked to corruption issues. But until now the people of Sabah themselves do give support to him. This means that the issue of corruption associated with him has no effect and undermine the support of the population.
