Now can you see the light?


 
No, I am not going to write about this matter. I just want you to read what the news portals reported (below) and for you to form your own opinion and come to your own conclusion. What I want you to take special note about, though, is to compare what was reported below to what I have been saying for more than five years since early 2007.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

‘Criminal elements present in police, politics’
(FMT) - Criminal elements have infiltrated the police force and even politics, the former Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan suggested when he kick-started a new anti-crime NGO, MyWatch. “Looking at the present situation, where there is a lot of illegal activities, do you think there is no links? You can answer yourself,” he told a press conference where he was named patron and advisor to MyWatch yesterday.
He revealed that there are cases where the links are too high up and “nobody dares talk about it”. He cited a case of a high-ranking police officer he did not name who was brought overseas for golfing by a “shady businessman”.
“Sometimes I feel they can even dictate officers, sometimes even spend [money] on police officers,” he said. “It is very bad now. Later on the Mafia will be ruling this country, we don’t want that to happen, it took 30 years to clean up the Mafia in America,” he said.
Musa himself has been accused of such links, especially in the case of Johor kingpin Goh Cheng Poh a.k.a. ‘Tengku’ Goh but has repeatedly dismissed the claims as attempts to bring him down. “During my time, there was a professional way of doing things if we needed to get close to underworld characters. That is undercover work. When I was in narcotics, my relationship would be to purely gather evidence. There must be a line drawn,” he explained.
Musa named Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein and his deputy as the people who would usually try to give instructions to the force, and that this bad trend was still occurring. “During my time whenever I arrested some crooks, there will be phone calls from top people. They even ask us to release. I will ask for an instruction in black and white,” he said, adding that the politicians would usually back off after being asked for a written order.
He also said that aside from ministers and deputy ministers, there were also “others” who attempt to give orders to the police, including opposition politicians.

'Bala's U-turn foiled Anwar-Umno's Altantuya expose'
(Malaysiakini) - Because there was a concentrated effort. There were two factions here - you had Bala sitting down with (opposition leader) Anwar (Ibrahim) and you had another faction (in Umno) that didn't want the people named in the first SD to come to power.
They were determined, although they were from different sides, to work together to achieve this and both had the power to do so. Hence the absolute concern.

Deepak to reveal more dirt from under the carpet
(FMT) - “The SD was not just about the opposition. There was a concentrated effort of two factions here. You had Bala sitting down with Anwar and you had another faction who didn’t want the people named in the first SD to come to power. They were determined, although they were from different sides, to work together to achieve this. Both had the power to do this,” he said, adding that the other side came from Umno itself.
He said that the side that wanted to push for the second SD and overturn the original SD was the one that protected or ensured that Najib became prime minister. “I got involved in the second SD to protect the interest of Najib. There is no other logical reason, is there?” he said.
