Police Black Eyes


Anwar Ibrahim has been released on police bail this morning.

Yesterday, the Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi promised that there will not be another “black eye” trauma for Anwar as happened ten years ago.

However, the police has received a “black eye” of its own making, in its highly-provocative, unprofessional and unjustifiable arrest of Anwar by police commandos in balaclava at 12.55 pm yesterday – when the former deputy prime minister had already promised to report to the police at 2 pm.

This is the second self-administered police black-eye within a week – the other being the completely unjustified three-day 1,600-personnel police operation to lock down the Federal Capital and the Klang Valley to thwart a massive demonstration in Parliament on Monday when there was not a single protestor – causing great and unnecessary inconvenience and hardships to hundreds of thousands of people, plunging public confidence in the efficiency, competence and professionalism of the police to an all-time low.

The two self-administered “police black-eyes” in the past week raises the question whether the Royal Police Commission set up in the early months of the Abdullah premiership and which made 125 recommendations to create an efficient, incorruptible, professional world-class police service – with its most important recommendation for an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) – has turned out to be a total waste of time, resources and funds!

    Jeffrey:

    The 2004 Federal judgment was a joke as well, because the judges said that by acquitting Anwar, it did not mean that Anwar did not indulge in homosexual acts. It was akin to acquiting a person charged with murder to say that although the accused was acquitted, it did not mean that he did not commit murder elsewhere.

    These bunch of goons are not that smart, but neither they are idiots. They have enjoyed so much protectionism that they neglected PR, therefore they are such in hurry to arrest DSAI & send tons of war torn personnel to do the job.
    DSAI had to be very calm & out smart these guys, its near check mate time but timing is the essential. Therefore, lets be patience and see the top charts rolling.
    Cheers !

    Malaysians are more educated now unlike 30 years ago where the citizen can be fooled or submit blindly to leadership. Malaysians now can judged for themself whether a case has been heard fairly based on evidence adduced or from past court proceedings i.e from the initial investigation and right down to the charges made. The only way to change the perception of the Court of Public Opinion that our Malaysian Legal System is doing the right thing is by doing it right in the first place!!

    >The police are considering bringing in foreign experts including DNA specialists to assist in the investigations into the sodomy allegations against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

    How much people’s money are the police trying to waste?

    Everything in the current case points to a conspiracy against Anwar. The “victim” is under police protection. Nobody has seen a copy of the police report lodged much earlier. The “victim” clearly has political connections with UMNO. The obsession by the Police to get “current” DNA samples as though Anwar’s DNA profile could have changed in the past 10 years. Deliberately keeping a 60 year old man with a bad back in jail.

    It smells, and it isn’t coming from the rear end.

    pulau_sibu:

    So the police “insert” Anwar’s DNA into the “victim”‘s butt, then ask the foreign experts to investigate whether Anwar was there ? The only problem with this is that Anwar’s samples taken 10 years earlier could have deteriorated, hence their obsession with getting up-to-date samples.

    This time the conspirators have to make sure that the “evidence” can be fully colloborated i.e. times, dates, venues. They know they won’t be able to shift the goalposts now.

    What i know is, When a big company not doing well in business, they monitor the market for another 3 months time.

    But when Crisis struck, they wait no longer and they they RESHUFFLE almost Immediately all the man power and even the Director. To make sure nobody abusing their power or any corruptions taken place and the main point, making $$$ for the company.

    The world is exercising this method from long time ago. But our Malaysia is so different.

    Even we know BN ppl are making the country economic worst, they don’t CARE about it. Because they’ll say “WHO Dare To SACK Me?” “All of you also SAME-SAME corrupted la. “If i die, i will also bring u down wan la”. So, ” U diam-diam do your things, I do my things, Same same make money that’s all lor, why wan do so many things?”

    Right?

    I waiting to wipe out all BN in the next GE. Keep this BN brats out of our country.

    I think we are all very selfish asking DSAI to do this and LKS to do that. Let us be fair, both of them are not supermen and there are only that much they can do as an individual. Furthermore, both of them have been detained and lockup before and now umno is gunning for Anwar again this time. I don’t think it is fair to ask them who are now grandfathers to risk their remaining lives to fight for you youngsters again and again?

    Do you seriously think they can get the other half of the voters who voted for umno to vote PR or DAP? I don’t think so as it is unless something very serious has happened that will affect their lively hood. The chance of that happening will be very slim now that Patronas has just handed over 6 billion to them literally to be distributed among themselves and to buy the voters to keep them happy.

    If you want to change the gov. then you have to help DSAI by creating that situation otherwise he will never be able to match umno, cent for ringgit. Move your money out and drive the economy down. Once this happens no foreign investors will dare to come in.

    Uncle Lim,
    Hi there. It’s nice to get back into the blog as I was busy with my studies and research for a few months.
    I want to pose a question to Uncle Lim and everyone in the blog.

    1. What is the function of the press in Malaysia, like The Star, NST and so on?
    2. Are the Chief Editors of the major newspaper in Malaysia appointed by Government officials?
    3. Why is it after more than 50 years of independence ( so called independence), we are still chained fro voicing out in the press. There are many people voicing out in the blogs, but the majority of the people in the country does not read blogs or internet users.
    4. What has been the result of voicing out this concern in the Parlimen. I’m sure it was voiced out before, but why didn’t the opposition take up this matter seriously.

    When our press gains independence of publishing the real issues, only then, only then I feel that we have gained real independence. Until then, remain chained and be a slave to the Ketuanan Melayu.

    God bless.

    Like father like son. That’s what you can say about Perennial Sleepwalker (PS) and the police not honouring their words. PS has been known for his legendary turnarounds and now the police duplicated PS and arrested Anwar before 2pm.

    PS can bring down the big tent and put a stop to the current circus by suspending the IGP and AG tag team. But despite that, we still we can still go on to say “Bring in the clowns” and we have the retinue of Hamid Alba, Bakri, Ismail (the deputy IGP), appointed poodles and dogs, monkeys (with an Oxbridge trained primate together with the level 3a goons in the lead).

  18. #18 by Emily Pratt on Friday, 18 July 2008 - 1:13 pm

    It would appear to me that the Police and the Ruling Government are trying to provoke the People.

    They hope that would give them a twisted reason to clamp down hard on the dissidents, jail or “cause disappearance” of opposition leaders and declare a state of emergency, rule with iron fist forever or until they milk the country dry of resources.

    Of course I am thinking of countries like Myanmar, Zimbabwe and Argentina (in the 80′s).

    At the end of the day, Rakyat is still suffering hence, all the promises of ending poverty, lowering crime rates and economic stability have not come true. Instead, it is in the opposite direction; hence the current Govt ( BN ) is a failure to its words and promises to the Rakyat.

    The polis INSISTED that they want the “FRESH DNA” from AI when already have his DNA record 10 years ago!

    It only means ONE thing!!!!!

    i.e. They have found a “NEW DNA SPECIMENT INSIDE SAIFUL’S asshole that do not belong to AI”!!!!!!!! AND they thought that AI’s DNA must have mutated/change over the years hence require a fresh analysis!

    The “NEW DNA FOUND INSIDE SAIFUL’s ASSHOLE” could only means that Saiful is a HOMOSEXUAL AND the DNA IS BELONG TO SOMEBODY ELSE. The person behind this conspiracy are so UPSAD that he INSISTED the polis to go “ALL OUT, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK” to get AI’s DNA!!!!

    Anwar Ibrahim’s press statement

    Thursday, 17 July 2008, 10:24 pm | 293 views

    From the office of Anwar Ibrahim.

    On Saturday, 12-07-2008, the police came to my house to serve a Section 111 Criminal Procedure Code notice, harassing my family and demanding my presence at the IPK Kuala Lumpur (Federal Territories Police headquarters) at 2pm on Monday, 14-07-2008 despite an earlier agreement with my lawyers for me to come to the IPK on Monday 14-07-2008. On the next day, Sunday, the police also served an ex-parte court order, prohibiting me from physically being within 5 km from the Parliament on Monday 14-07-2008. As you can see, my house and the IPK KL are within 5 km radius from the parliament building. The court order effectively put me under house arrest on Monday and at the same time prevented me from going to the IPK.

    On Monday, 14-07-2008, the presence of police personnel outside the compound of my house strengthened our suspicions that they would be prepared to arrest me as soon as I left the compound of my residence, on the pretext of me violating the court order. The issue here, is which order should I comply with, the ex-parte court order or the Section 111 notice from the police?On the same day, the police through the Investigating Officer, one DSP Jude Pereira wrote and faxed to my lawyer at about 1.06pm, informing that I was required to be present at the IPK KL on Wednesday, 16-07-2008 at 2.00 pm to assist with the investigation. I conveyed my agreement to the appointment and it was communicated to the police through my solicitor, Messrs S.N Nair and Partners via telephone and letter on the same day.

    On Wednesday, 16-07-2008, I was at the Anti Corruption Agency (BPR) head office to record my statement pursuant to the police report lodged by me at IPK Shah Alam on 01-07-2008, against the Attorney General Gani Patail and the Inspector General of Police Musa Hassan for their involvement in the fabrication of evidence way back in 1998. To ensure that we will be able to attend the appointment with the police at 2pm, we cut short our statement at the BPR’s office, and this fact was clearly conveyed to the BPR officers present.

    At about 12.45 pm, the IO, DSP Jude Pereira called Mr Nair to confirm about our attendance and Mr. Nair confirmed that we would attend that 2pm appointment. We were about to have a quick lunch at my house before proceeding to the IPK. 5 minutes later, we were ambushed by a team of masked and heavily armed police personnel near my house.

    I was arrested and brought to the IPK. I cooperated fully with the police by giving my cautioned statement from 2.30 pm to about 7.30 pm. At this particular point, the IO and the other officers handling this case were doing their job professionally. I was then given assurances by Assistant Commissioner of Police Razali and later Senior Assistant Commissioner II Khor (through my lawyer) that I would be released on police bail on the same day.

    However, later on, upon my return from Kuala Lumpur General Hospotal (HKL), the IO, DSP Jude Pereira informed me and my lawyers that I will be detained and put in the police lock-up overnight for the purpose of recording a further statement in the morning.

    I and my lawyers protested, giving our undertaking that we will be back anytime required by the police to continue with the recording of the statement, and there was no need for me to be detained overnight, and that I should be released on police bail. The police, through the IO were adamant that I should be detained and put in the police lock-up overnight, despite them knowing about my physical condition. I had to spend the night sleeping on a cold cement floor, which aggravated my back injury which was due to the beating I received from the then IGP, Tan Sri Rahim Nor on 20th September, 1998.

    This morning, after a short statement that was recorded for about 30 minutes, I was released on police bail. I was in pain and had to immediately receive some medical treatment upon my return home.

    I now wish to deal with the statement of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Director, Dato Mohd Bakri Mohd Zinin as appeared in Utusan Malaysia today, inter alia

    “Pasukan khas bertopeng polis terpaksa memintas kenderaan DSAI di Bukit Segambut di sini dan menahan Anwar ekoran tindakan Penasihat PKR itu mengubah haluan kenderaannya pada saat-saat tempoh yang diberi kepadanya untuk menyerah diri kepada polis pada pukul 2 petang ini hampir berakhir”

    This is a blatant lie from the CID director to cover up their shameful act of abuse of police powers. I have given the assurances and had just informed the IO 5 minutes before the disgraceful ambush by the police through my lawyer who was with me in the same car.

    In addition to the above, the Deputy Home Minister, Wan Farid said, as reported in Star Online that, I “went voluntarily to the police car without any incident.” Again, this is also a blatant lie by the government.

    I take to task the IGP for this abuse of police power against me through the events I’ve narrated above. It appears that the events of the last few days, the nature of my unwarranted arrest, my overnight incarceration which was actually absolutely unnecessary, were an act of personal vengeance against me in retaliation to the reports I lodged earlier against him, which are now being investigated by the ACA.

    DNA

    I have reasonable grounds for having no confidence in the system. In the course of the trial of the false allegations of sodomy in 1998, DNA evidence was fabricated and used against me. The persons responsible for the fabrication then were the IGP, SAC Rodwan and the AG, are new key players in this investigation.

    Until now, I have been denied access to the police report made by the accuser against me.

    My accuser is still under police protection and as such, any fabrication is possible if they take my DNA. My decision to refuse a DNA test is taken through advice of my lawyers and DNA experts, both local and overseas.

    ANWAR IBRAHIM

  24. #24 by wtf2 on Friday, 18 July 2008 - 6:03 pm

    let’s figure: if anwar’s found innocent, the poof-tif will be guilty of ( on the civil court front )

    1. Criminal defamation
    2. Sexual acts contradictory to nature
    3. subversion of justice
    4. Waste of public resources

    not to mention the syariah court front. So if Anwar is let off the hook, this poof will :

    1. be Jailed a very long time
    2. be ostrasized by society
    3. get very rich because some rich sugardaddy skimming the nation’s coffers will cover his retirement to prevent finger pointing OR
    4. get C4ed by the sugardaddy.

    So what will be the bets?

  25. #25 by nyghtsky on Friday, 18 July 2008 - 6:39 pm

    PDRM’s response to Reporters as to why they need DSAI to give his DNA again was mere,” dont’ talk about past cases “. The CID chief needs public speaking skills. OMG, can’t even read a prepared script correctly.

    They have nothing… which is exactly why DSAI should not give any fresh DNA samples…

    One after another boo-boo; they don’t need anyone to bad mouth them cause they do an excellent job of it themselves.

    The Malaysian police and judiciary are mere puppets of UMNO. In fact the whole investigation should be done by a competent and impartial foreign team like Scotland Yard. The Malaysian police investigative ability and skills, as we all know, is zero and cannot be trusted at all. The same thing goes for the Malaysian judiciary.

    Today at 11: 46.37 (8 hours ago)
    Uncle Lim and Malaysians,
    We have been black eyed since the birth of Dasar Ekonomi Baru or NEP in 1970.
    We have been black eyed when the sons of Indians and Chinese were forced out from schooling further or not given an equal chance for further education due to the quota system imposed in 1970.
    We have been black eyed when we lost our voice by not able to truly voice out in the local newspapers.
    The Anwar’s black eyes that happened 10 years ago is nothing but the manisfestation of the same Malay group that Black eyed other races and ethic groups for a long time. Thanks to the “Bapa Ketuanan Melayu”, our former PM, Dr. Mahathir, who masterminded the whole issue of the Malay supremacy since his book “Dilemma Melayu” which was published in 1970 ( ironically this was the year the New Ecoomy Policy or the NEP was begun), 11 years before he became the prime minister.

    My question is whether all the black eyed isues mentioned above be forgotten like Malaysians always do.

    May truth and justice set us free.
    God bless.

    Let’s face it. Anwar will loose this battle. AAB says the existing DNA sample too old. That’s BS. Even dinosaur DNA can be identified. They have already used the old DNA to plant false evidence. All this hoohaa about collecting new DNA sample is just for show. If they can withdraw C4 for wrongful use, erase immigration records at will, etc, etc, there should be no problem in withdrawing the old DNA sample and framing Anwar.

  35. #35 by Godfather on Saturday, 19 July 2008 - 1:51 pm

    Why the obsession with getting a new DNA sample ? possible reasons:

    1. Police lost the old samples which can’t be surprising given the efficiency of the force.

    2. Samples deteriorated to the point of them being unusable. Unusable as in being useless for planting evidence.

    I think it is more likely the Police lost the samples of old, and can’t make a positive ID of whatever that was left behind in the “victim”. It would be too embarrassing of the Police and the AG’s chambers to admit to losing the original samples.

  36. #36 by Loh on Saturday, 19 July 2008 - 4:17 pm

    A person accused of manslaughter was acquitted when the witness was able to confirm seeing the accused pointing a pistol at the deceased but could not confirm that he saw the accused pulling the trigger. The bullet could have gone out of the pistol automatically, and so there was benefit of doubts to be accorded to the accused.

    Now even if, for the sake of argument, DSAI’s sperms were found on Saiful’s body, has there been evidence that the sperms got into Saiful’s body through sodomy?

    The police is said to have DNA evidence from DSAI, and it requires DSAI to provide his DNA to prove ‘mismatch’; a match would confirm DSAI guilty as charged. The ministers including the PM are claiming that a mismatch is guaranteed if DSAI is innocence. Is it?

    DNA sample could be obtained anywhere from body besides blood sample. It could be the hair, the sweat, or the saliva. Such DNA samples could be obtained easily by any person who was able to come physically close to the accused. In fact it would be possible to obtain a condom-full of sperms, if there was a scheme to get it, without sodomy. The police should prove that the act against the law had been performed.

    The pattern of DNA does not change, and the police would have DNA data of DSAI on its files. The police should have evidence to charge DSAI for sodomy based on the standards before the advent of DNA. DNA alone cannot prove sodomy when sodomy was not the only means when DNA sample could be found on Saiful.

    PM AAB said that the DNA sample of DSAI was too old to be useful. Is he suggesting that the police has been keeping DNA samples of DSAI all these years? It would be a waste of resources if police actually keeps DNA samples of accused persons, rather than the data on DNA patterns. If it is not the case, why does the police have a special interest in keeping DNA samples of DSAI, and now finding that the sample has deteriorated over time.

  37. #37 by despin on Saturday, 19 July 2008 - 5:08 pm

    It is a conspiracy after all. Here are some reasons why:
    1.When Badawi said that it is not a conspiracy, then there is a very high probability the opposite is true. Over the last five years, he has a tendency to say one thing but meant another;
    2.Arch-enemies Khairy and Mukhriz seeing eye-to-eye on the same subject;
    3.Father of all hypocrites, Mahathir, wading in because he and his former cronies have most to fear (and lose) if Anwar came to power.
    4.Wong Chun Wai’s theStar front-paging the keyword DNA for two consecutive days.
    Assuming Anwar were to give fresh DNA samples, are we going to witness a stained blue shirt or underwear, ala Monica Lewinski’s blue dress, being presented as evidence in court? It is certainly easier to bring a piece of clothing in and out of court instead of a giant mattress don’t you think?

    Mr. Prime Minister, while I would like to believe you that it is not a conspiracy, another 10 million Malaysians would not. Stop this nonsense and concentrate on the economy lah!

  38. #38 by hanuman on Saturday, 19 July 2008 - 5:38 pm

    I am just a layman.

    01. My understanding of the law is one is innocent until proven
    guilty.
    02. Police must produce the warrant of arrest before arresting.
    03. There must be a police report before a warrant of arrest is
    issued.
    04. A warrant of arrest is issued by a magistrate or court.

    My logical conclusion
    01. Warrant of arrest was not shown to Anwar during his
    arrest.
    02. If there is no warrant of arrest, then Anwar was kidnapped.
    03. The police cannot produce the police report against Anwar
    til todate.
    04. Hence there is no warrant of arrest.
    05. ANWAR IS INNOCENT SINCE THERE IS NO POLICE REPORT.

    WHY DO THE POLICE NEED A FRESH DNA FROM AN INNOCENT MAN ???
    YOU ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY !!!
    IN THIS CASE YOU ARE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT !!!

    WITH DOUBT THERE IS A POLITICAL CONSPIRACY AGAINST ANWAR FROM UMNO.

    GOD SAVE MALAYSIANS !!!

    LKS said so – what a waste of productivity – is there any way we can take legal action against the government for lost productivity and opportunities?

    The fuel debate and this police traffic mismanagement demonstrates the government’s gross iniquity.

    I am not familiar with criminal law. But dont the special branch keep anwar’s dna profile in its record? like finger prints.

    If they do, cant they use it? I.e. to compare it against the dna extracted from the complainant?

    That should be enough. In court, it would be a matter of establishing the special branch’s record of his dna profile for admissibility purposes. Wouldnt it?

    If that is so, why is there a need to get fresh body tissue samples?

    Two black eyes, huh?

    Perhaps the police are now trying to follow that legal tenet that says justice must be blind to be impartial.

    However….125 RPC recommendations!!……wow!..long way to go…
