I feel sory for Lee Lam Thye who has agreed to be used as a member of the 3-men kangaroo panel. A person with over 20 years of experience as an opposition stateassemlbyman and MP should know how to read the true motive of the BN government in setting up this kangaroo panel to investigate the Lingam’s tape. I don’t believe he is innocent or naive. He has gone down to the point of no return. He has sold his soul to BN. Can he say NO to his master?

I think they should march to Najib’s residence. We know who is making the decisions. As CEO of Malaysia Inc. he’s in charge of the day to day running. In countries like the U.S. the Vice President does not act independently of the President – not so in Malaysia.

What the BN run government did not say when it proposed to set up this ‘independent’ panel is its objective – which is ‘damage control’.

The lawyers should march to the Istana. It would show they know what they’re doing. What’s the point of marching to PM’s Dept when the government has already decided on a 3 member panel? I am not saying that the Agong could not commission a Royal Commission if requested by the government. What I’m saying is that even if the government has not made such a request the Agong would have the discretion to independently do so, if hwe deems exedient….Recent events have shown the Rulers concerned about the state of affairs in the judicial department. They have not rubberstamped what ever the government suggested. The lawyers should have taken that cue that what they request (of a Royal Commission) is in line with the drift of where the royalty stands on the issue.

Jeffry, from your analysis, shouldn’t the bar council march to the Agong’s palace instead of the Prime Minister Department today?

***Now as Leader of the Opposition, you have requested for the Royal Commission. The Bar Council demands for the Royal Commission. Many Civil Societies lobby for Royal Commission. Concerned individuals like former United Nations special rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers Param Cumaraswamy also demand for the Royal Commission. The Government however said that the Royal Commission was not necessary.

My question is why the various stakeholders for independence of judiciary do not directly petition to the Agong for a Royal Commission….. quote Jeffry***

A clear and incisive analysis, as always, coming from Jeffry!

If these judicial organisations petition to the Agong it will be difficult for the Agong to refuse the set up of a Royal Commission as these organisations truly represent the aspirations of the Rakyat. Whether the petition is accepted or not, it’s already a victory to the Rakyat as it showed the BN Government’s decision is not backed by the very organisations who truly matter.

The thing is who can coordinate these judicial organisations towards a common goal?

Have we ever checked on these ‘chosen’ three about their wealth ?
I believe what they are having now in total , would have increased significantly prior to passing their final decision ……….
Money talks … so loud on this case …

Don’t some of us wished that we are the one selected for it ..?
It’ not your qualification that matters here …. you must know who first …. ha..ha………HA

The 3 man independent panel aka ” 3 stooges ” is a joke considering the seriousness of the case involving the CJ.

Revised findings by the 3 “experts”
(1) Tape was not doctored, but was surgeoned
(2) Speaker is not one Mahalingam but one Butuhlingam
(3)The person on the line was not his wife but his concubine

Final recomendation: Gve Anwar another 6 years behind bars, with a gift of a 2nd blackeye courtesy of the present IGP

Do you think that all those members are independant?
I doubt it!
Final finding:
(1) Tape be being doctored
(2) Speaker is not Lingam but one Mahalingam
(3) The person on the line, his wife

Therefore Anwar is telling nonsence.

Final recomendation: Sue Anwar for RM1billion.(so that he dared not try this monkey show again)

YB, support your call.

“Government” = ” Cabinet” = ” Minister ” = ” BN ” = ” Corruption ”

No other democratic government dares to do this, only Malaysia government dares to do this mad thing.

Even if they do nothing, they will still be returned as a government with big big majority in the next GE.

The PKR should educate those kampung Malays so that they have more open minds and don’t be fooled by UMNO anymore.

What can the 3-man panel uncover that has not been uncovered in this blog?
What we need now is the maker of the video to come forward? How did he record it and under what circumstances? Who else were present in the scene when he recorded the video? Did Lingam boast to him about his high connections? Did Lingam begin the call with a “Hello, Fairus….” or “May I speak to “Datuk Fairus..”
The maker of the video must be given protection or he too might be blown up by C4 explosives.
I believe the most damning evidence is in the part which has been censored by Anwar Ibrahim. A tactical move perhaps. I presume he will use this part when the government tries to sweep this whole elephant under the carpet.
