Bekas Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Musa Hassan mempersoalkan kesahihan laporan Sarawak Report yang mendakwa Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak membayar peguam terkemuka Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah sebanyak RM9.5 juta.

Beliau pada mulanya merujuk laporan Malaysiakini bertarikh 8 Ogos 2015, tetapi kemudiannya menjelaskan ia adalah laporan bertarikh 15 Ogos yang bertajuk “US$650m from Najib’s account sent abroad” yang menyatakan bahawa akaun Najib di Ambank telah ditutup pada 30 Ogos 2013.

“Jadi macam mana kalau akaun sudah tutup (tetapi) wang RM9.5 juta ini boleh dibayar kepada peguam tersebut?

“Saya rasa benda ini tidak betul kerana akaun dah tutup pada 30 Ogos tapi bayaran (dibuat) pada 11 Sept 2013 dan 17 Feb 2014.

“Jadi bagi saya tidak betul,” katanya.

Walau bagaimanapun, pasukan petugas khas pada 9 Julai 2015 mendedahkan bahawa Najib mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya dua akaun Ambank Islamic – yang lain telah ditutup pada 9 Mac 2015.

Pasukan petugas khas yang ditubuhkan untuk menyiasat skandal berkaitan dengan 1MDB dan SRC International, terdiri daripada bekas Peguam Negara Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, bekas Gabenor Bank Negara Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz, bekas Ketua Pesuruhjaya Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed dan Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

Minggu lalu, Sarawak Report yang memetik kertas siasatan yang kononnya bocor melaporkan bahawa Najib membayar Shafee dari akaun sama miliknya di mana dana SRC dipindahkan. SRC adalah sebuah firma milik negara, dan bekas anak syarikat 1MDB.

Shafee bertindak sebagai ketua pendakwa dalam kes liwat II membabitkan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim apabila perkara itu dibawa ke mahkamah rayuan dan persekutuan.

Malaysiakini tidak dapat untuk mengesahkan kesahihan laporan Sarawak Report itu.

Najib, sebelum ini berulang-kali menafikan beliau menyalahgunakan dana awam untuk kepentingan peribadi.

Menolak dakwaan Sarawak Report yang dianggap sebagai fitnah, Musa berkata beliau juga adalah mangsa dakwaan seumpama itu apabila beliau menyiasat pertuduhan liwat pertama terhadap Anwar pada tahun 1998.

“Dulu masa saya menyiasat kes liwat pertama, saya pun difitnah, mengatakan saya terima RM5 juta daripada Mahathir, diletakkan dalam akaun saya di Singapura.

“Bagi saya tak betul la kerana saya tak terima pun duit RM5 juta,” kata Musa.

The Opposition made a police report against renown criminal lawyer Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah and had the audacity to demand him to take a leave of absence from his duties, based on Newcastle-Brown’s latest lie.

It wants police to probe allegation by Sarawak Report that prominent lawyer was paid RM9.5 million.

KUALA LUMPUR: PKR Youth today lodged a police report against prominent lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah following an allegation by whistleblower portal Sarawak Report that he received RM9.5 million from Prime Minister Najib Razak.

PKR Youth leader Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said police must investigate the relationship between Najib and Shafee to uncover why such a large sum of money was paid by Najib through his personal bank account, as claimed by Sarawak Report.

Nik Nazmi also called on Shafee to immediately take leave from his duties as a lawyer, including in a case in which he was representing Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin in a RM100 million defamation suit filed by former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

“I think this is the best course of action for him since he has already taken a lot of sick leave, and it would be even better for him to rest while the investigation is being carried out,” he said, adding that Shafee should let another lawyer represent Khairy.

Nik Nazmi said PKR Youth would also press the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Bar Council to investigate Najib and Shafee if the two continued to remain silent on the allegation.

Sarawak Report recently reported that Shafee, who was specially appointed to lead the prosecution in the Anwar sodomy case in February 2015, which resulted in the former deputy prime minister being jailed for five years, received the money from an AmBank account belonging to Najib.

The portal also published screenshots showing two transactions totalling RM9.5 million, the first in February 2014, two weeks before the Court of Appeal decision which overturned the High Court’s acquittal of Anwar.

Sarawak Report alleged that the money was paid from an account linked to Najib, who came under heavy fire in 2015 after reports by The Wall Street Journal claimed RM2.6 billion had been channelled into his personal bank accounts.

Najib denied any wrongdoing, saying the money had been a donation from the Saudi royal house to fund Umno’s general election campaign in 2013.

On Jan 26, 2016, he was cleared by Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali of any criminal offence in relation to the donation.

The government had stated earlier that Shafee was paid only RM1,000 for his services in the Anwar prosecution.

FMT’s attempts to contact the lawyer for a response have not been successful so far.

***************

The desperation of the Opposition to divert voters’ attention apparent on the decline of confidence towards them, especially after Fourth Prime Minister and Fifth UMNO President Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s party of dejected UMNO leaders and members joined the Pakatan Harapan guild.

Slandering Shafee is deemed necessary in the light of the current civil dispute between de facto Opposition Leader and convict for the heinous crime of sodomy Anwar Ibrahim, in the court now.

It is expected more lies be concocted to unravel the dark crisis between Opposition party leaders within Pakatan Harapan, after Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia Chairman Dr Mahathir reiterated his desire to be the prime minister again.

Dr M repeats desire to be PM again

– AFP

PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he will consider becoming prime minister again “for a short while” if there is consensus and no other candidate for the post emerges.

In a report by the Nikkei Asian Review published on Tuesday, the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia chairman said it is possible he could return to the premiership if the Opposition wins the next general election.

“If there is no candidate … I might try, only on condition that everybody agrees,” the Japanese business journal quoted him as saying.

However, Dr Mahathir emphasised that his main focus is to lead the Opposition to victory as he has “a lot of experience in winning elections.”

The former prime minister also stated that he did not abuse his powers during his tenure.

“The prime minister has become too powerful. I was powerful, but I didn’t abuse my powers. That is why I was re-elected five times,” he said.

Dr Mahathir was in Tokyo on Tuesday to attend the 23rd International Conference on the Future of Asia, a forum for Asian political leaders.

He is Malaysia’s longest-serving prime minister, holding the position for 22 years from 1981 to 2003.

There have been criticisms that during his tenure as prime minister, his administration actively curbed civil liberties including the freedom of speech, the freedom of assembly, and the freedom of the press, among others.

He was also criticised for using the Internal Security Act (ISA), which has since been repealed, to silence his detractors and detain activists and political opponents.

It is very refreshing a stiff ramrod of principles and speaking the truth former IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan to step up and debunk such fake news, with challenges that they would not able to fulfil.
