However, I wonder whether it was a correct thing to do. This is a criminal case and not a civil case. Being a civil litigator himself and never a DPP, he was thinking as a civil lawyer. So, he appointed Ms Sitpath. She may be the best shipping lawyer in the country, but her expertise may not be relevant. She is a civil lawyer. This is a criminal case.<br /><br />Why resort to civil procedure of arresting a ship which is a method of enforcement of a civil judgment to recover a debt? This is a criminal case. If the yacht is believed to be the subject matter of a criminal offence, why not use the criminal procedure to seize it in the same way as the millions of ringgits of cash, jewellery and hundreds of handbags were seized from Najib’s and Rosmah’s house and apartment? Both the CPC and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act, 2009 contain provisions for the purpose.<br /><br />Remember that in a civil litigation, the losing party has to pay cost. There are no costs in criminal proceedings.<br /><br />Withdrawal of charges against PH lawmakers and supporters<br /><br />On the other hand, Tommy Thomas had done a positive act of “withdrawing charges” (that is what newspapers reported) against PH MPs, State Assemblymen, former State Assemblyman and supporters. Hassan Karim, Member of Parliament (MP) for Pasir Gudang; Thomas Su Keong Siong, MP for Kampar; R Sivarasa, MP for Sungai Buloh and N Surendran, former MP for Padang Serai all of whom are PH MPs, PH State Assemblymen or former PH Assemblyman.<br /><br />He also dropped charges against PH supporters Syarul Ema Rena Abu Samah, popularly known as “Ratu Naga” and political cartoonist Zulkiflee Anwar Haque, better known as Zunar. They were charged with offences under the Sedition Act, Communications and Multimedia Commission Act, and the Peaceful Assembly Act.- Freemalaysiatoday 10 08 2018.<br /><br />There could be other cases as well which escape my attention.<br /><br />Sarawak v Petronas case<br /><br />Tommy Thomas also did not intervene on behalf of the federal government in a civil suit by Petronas against Sarawak Government over petroleum issue. That suit involves constitutional issues on the relationship between federal and state governments and the validity of a federal law, the Petroleum Development Act, 1974 (Act 144), which the AG should defend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-28404828996607983272018-09-19T20:06:12.936+08:002018-09-19T20:06:12.936+08:00"I have come to the realisation that I cannot..."I have come to the realisation that I cannot combine these onerous commitments with the simultaneous preparation and conduct of a seven-week trial in PP v Najib Razak, fixed to commence on February 12, 2019 and completing on March 29, 2019," he said.<br /><br />He would therefore use his discretion under Section 379 of the Criminal Procedure Code and appoint Sulaiman Abdullah, a former President of the Bar Council, to lead the prosecution instead, he said.<br /><br />This is another first scored by Tommy Thomas. Never in the legal history of Malaysia did an AG admit he was unable to cope with the demands of the work as an AG that he had to appoint a private lawyer to do the prosecution of a case. Or, is he<br /><br />chickening out because he had no experience in prosecution and this case is certainly not the kind of case for anyone to learn to prosecute? In any event, he was given eight month to prepare for the case while, at the same time, doing other works. No DPP gets eight months or even one month’s free in order to prepare for a case.<br /><br />A young DPP has the advantage of being junior and, therefore, excusable if he makes mistakes. He also has the advantage of having a senior DPP to depend on. An AG is the PP. He is the No.1 prosecutor. He cannot be seen to be ignorant, inexperience, incapable or to make stupid mistakes publicly in such a high profile case, what more with counsel like Shafee on the opposite side. So, it is better for him “to step aside”.<br /><br />That is the reality. It proves the point I made earlier that no private lawyer, no matter how prominent, had seen investigation papers or had any experience prosecuting. For that reason an AG appointed from the Judicial and Legal Service has an advantage.<br /><br />In any event, he has missed the chance to prove himself as a capable prosecutor, if he is, in the most important and most controversial case in the Malaysian legal history that will be remembered for a long time. Hopefully, he will not be remembered as the AG who had chickened out from prosecuting the former Prime Minister.<br /><br />Coming to Sulaiman Abdullah, we know that he was defence counsel in a number of high profile criminal cases. But, he still lacks experience in leading evidence for the prosecution in a criminal trial. Is he going to leave that part of the job to the experienced DPPs from the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) who would be assisting him and taking over the submissions, which undoubtedly he could do well? Indeed, Tommy Thomas could do the same.<br /><br />Hopefully, Sulaiman’s health can withstand the pressure of a prolonged trial. We pray for his good health.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-22883341341321971492018-09-19T19:54:28.576+08:002018-09-19T19:54:28.576+08:00Najib’s cases
The CBT and abuse of power case
On...Najib’s cases<br /><br />The CBT and abuse of power case<br /><br />On July 3rd, 2018 The Edge Market reported, “Newly-appointed Attorney-General (AG) Tommy Thomas is expected to lead the prosecution team when former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is charged in court tomorrow.” As long a can remember, there had never been such a press report before. It is as if a celebrity, the greatest of all prosecutors in the Malaysian legal history would be making his first appearance in court.<br /><br />He appeared in court on the following day (July 4, 2018), the day Najib was charged. Anyone familiar with criminal trials knows that on that day, the case is fixed for mention. What it means is that the charges will be read to the accused person by the court interpreter and he will be asked whether he pleads guilty or claims trial. If, as happened in this case, Najib claimed trial, another date or dates would be fixed for the trial.<br /><br />All the AG has to do on the first mention date is to introduce himself and his team as well as the counsel for the accused person; inform the court whether he objects to bail being granted; if not how much and give his free dates for the trial. In this case he asked for more time to prepare his case causing Najib’s counsel, Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah, who had spent his whole life doing criminal cases, first as a DPP and later as defence counsel, to remark that, usually, it is the defence counsel who would ask for time as he is taken by surprise while the prosecution should be ready with the trial when charging a person.<br /><br />On August 31, 2018, about six months before the date fixed for the trial (about eight months if we were to calculate from the date Najib was charged), the AG issued a media release saying that his responsibilities as AG took precedence and he was unable to devote time to the case. (August 31st is the Merdeka day and a public holiday. Was he working in office while the parade was going on down below along the Boulevard? I pity him if he was).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-22649649600653643932018-09-19T19:54:02.672+08:002018-09-19T19:54:02.672+08:00A few points arise here:

It alleges that there might be judicial interference, especially by the Executive. Bear in mind that the executive now is the PH Government. Is Bersih suggesting that, in just three months, the PH Government has started to interfere with the Judiciary?<br /><br />3. The part played by AG (PP) who does not want to further prosecute the case which necessitated the discharge of the accused, whether DAA or DNAA, is not mentioned except that the AG (PP) only wanted a DNAA.<br /><br />4. The issue whether, considering the surrounding circumstances, it was a proper exercise of discretion by the AG or not, totally escapes attention.<br /><br />It calls for MACC to be made a constitutional body. “This would ensure the anti- corruption body is free from external interference and does not become a tool of<br /><br />persecution against political enemies”. Is Bersih also blaming the MACC for what had happened? If, according to Bersih, the Judiciary, which is not only a constitutional body, but one of the three branches of the government, could be interfered by the Executive, will making MACC a constitutional body make any difference?<br /><br />Is the statement quoted in the last paragraph only refers to this case which was commenced when BN was in power or a general statement applicable to both governments? Even if, as asserted by Bersih, MACC is “a tool of persecution against political enemies”, I do not believe that making it a constitutional body will solve the problem. Human factor counts.<br /><br />On September 7, 2018 the New Straits Times Online reported:<br /><br />“The Bar Council has described the prosecution’s decision to withdraw corruption charges against Lim Guan Eng as “not shocking.”<br /><br />In a statement, its president George Varughese said it is the absolute prerogative of the Public Prosecutor to drop charges at any stage of a trial, before the delivery of judgment.<br /><br />He said this was provided under Section 254 of the Criminal Procedure Code.<br />...........<br /><br />“Further the Deputy Public Prosecutor has since explained that it was his considered opinion that there is insufficient evidence to succeed at the end of the prosecution case.”<br /><br />That statement, coming from the Bar Council, in this case, is not at all surprising. Further, it merely restates the law without referring to the facts surrounding it and takes the easy way out to support the decision by the prosecution not to further prosecute Lim Guan Eng by saying that Dato’ Hanafiah had “explained that it was his considered opinion that there is insufficient evidence to succeed at the end of the prosecution case”. How far is the Bar Council prepared to go to support the first AG from the Bar? The Bar Council’s integrity and “independence” is also at stake.<br /><br />As I am concluding this part I received a copy of Utusan Malaysia dated September 7, 2018 with the title, on the first page “Tidak pernah tarik balik kes sedang berjalan<br />– Abu Talib”. (Never withdrew case still proceeding”).<br /><br />Tan Sri Abu Talib was reported to have said, “.....when I was AG I never withdrew a case which was still proceeding in the midst of a trial.” (sedang berjalan dan dalam perbicaraan.)<br /><br />“If I wanted to withdraw, I would explain to the police and those who had investigated the case, inform them reasonable grounds for withdrawing because those who investigated should be respected.” (My translation.)<br /><br />Tan Sri Abu Talib was AG for 13 years during Tun Dr. Mahathir’s BN era. He was a member of the Judicial and Legal Service throughout his career. He was the best prosecutor Malaysia had ever produced. He knows what he is talking about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-35788161823697543122018-09-19T19:53:36.836+08:002018-09-19T19:53:36.836+08:00In any event, the prosecution had not closed its c...In any event, the prosecution had not closed its case yet. Why not proceed and let the court decide at the end of the prosecution’s case? Was he afraid that the court would call for the defence?<br /><br />According to Dato’ Hanafiah, he merely requested for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal. Was he uncertain about the decision not to further prosecute or was he merely making a safe decision, the middle may, that he could not be blamed and his position would not be jeopardised? If the court orders a DAA, the court will be blamed while Lim Guan Eng, DAP and PH would be happy and the AG would not feel uncomfortable when meeting Lim Guan Eng?<br /><br />If the prosecution is really serious that it only wanted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal, it should appeal against the order. Or, is it very happy with the result since it got more than what it openly asked for and could blame the court for it?<br /><br />Clearly, from the day he was given the task, Dato’ Hanafiah was under pressure even if from August 2 , 2018 to September 3 , 2018 he did not meet Tommy Thomas and Tommy Thomas did not say anything to him. Under the circumstance, he knew he had to decide not to further prosecute Lim Guan Eng and he had to find a reason for it. So, he came out with reason that he found the prosecution’s case had<br /><br />weakened after the cross-examination and the discovery of new evidence! I feel sorry for him.<br /><br />I also feel sorry for Dato Hadariah, the Judge, who gets the blame for doing something right from the court’s perspective.<br /><br />It would not be complete without reverting to the statement made by Bersih and the Bar Council.<br /><br />On September 5, 2018, the Star Online reported a statement issued by Bersih 0.2.<br /><br />"With the sudden acquittal of Lim after Pakatan came into power, another concern arises whether the decision has been made due to external interference, especially from the Executive," it said in a statement on Wednesday (Sept 5).<br /><br />Bersih added that the MACC must be made a constitutional body, with the appointment of its members being made transparently.<br /><br />"This would ensure the anti-corruption body is free from external interference and does not become a tool of persecution against political enemies," it said.<br /><br />................<br /><br />High Court judge Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail acquitted both accused and decided the charges be dropped despite the prosecution only proposing a discharge not amounting to an acquittal.”<br /><br />The first paragraph should be read with the fourth paragraph which will read as follows: The decision by Justice Hadariah to acquit the accused when the prosecution had only asked for a DNAA has raised concern whether it was due to external interference, especially from the Executive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-91166265381368208762018-09-19T19:53:08.832+08:002018-09-19T19:53:08.832+08:00Secondly, and I direct these questions to Tommy Th...Secondly, and I direct these questions to Tommy Thomas: If Lim Guan Eng were not a PH Minister of Finance, would he have tasked Dato’ Hanafiah to study the case with the view not to further prosecute Lim Guan Eng? If only Phang Li Koon was charged, would he have done the same? If there was no representation by counsel for Lim Guan Eng, would he have done the same?<br /><br />We now come to Dato’ Hanafiah. I have no comments on paragraphs 1, 2 and 5. Paragraphs 3 and 4 may be taken together.<br /><br />My questions to Dato’ Hanafiah are: Even before he was tasked to study the case by AG, did the lead DPP, at least, not brief him, from time to time, how the case was<br /><br />proceeding? Being such an important case, did he not call the lead DPP, from time to time to know about the case? Did the lead DPP of the case not inform him of the effects of the cross-examination and the discovery of fresh evidence and discussed with him how to overcome it?<br /><br />Having perused the investigation papers and the notes of evidence and discovering the weakness of the prosecution’s case arising from the cross-examination and the discovery of the fresh evidence, did he call the lead DPP and the MACC officers and discuss the possibility of redressing it by looking for fresh evidence to rebut the fresh evidence to be adduced by the defence; the possibility of challenging the admissibility of the defence’s fresh evidence and the possibility of recalling and calling additional witnesses. After all, the prosecution has not closed its case.<br /><br />Dato’ Hanafiah was never in court. He did not observe the demeanours of the witnesses, instead he merely read the notes of evidence up to that stage and “opined that I would not be fulfilling my duties as Deputy Public Prosecutor to let the case continue knowing full well that that the case against Lim Guan Eng..... would not succeed at the end of the prosecution case.” Considering the circumstances under which he was asked to study the case because of the application by Lim Guam Eng’s counsel not to further prosecute the case, it looks as if he was merely looking for an excuse not to further prosecute Lim Guan Eng.<br /><br />He could write that statement without opening the files. At the very least, he should have stated the evidence of the relevant part under examination-in-chief, the evidence under cross-examination and under re-examination and stated his reasons why he said it had “been substantially weakened”. The test should have been whether the cross-emanation had caused irreparable damage to the prosecution”s case, taking into account the evidence of all prosecution witnesses. Did he consider whether it could be repaired?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-49223075873757283362018-09-19T19:52:47.506+08:002018-09-19T19:52:47.506+08:00On September 4, 2018 Dato’ Hanafiah, the Head, App...On September 4, 2018 Dato’ Hanafiah, the Head, Appellate and Trial Division issued a press release. He made the following points:<br /><br />1. “....the Hon. Attorney General had no hand in the decision to enter nolle prosequi (where Public Prosecutor does not propose further to prosecute the accused) on the charges against Lim Guan Eng and Phang Li Koon”.<br /><br />2. He was “....tasked to decide on the representations made by both Lim Guan Eng and Phang Li Koon’s case as I had not participated in any way with the case earlier. Accordingly I was able to consider the matter with a fresh perspective.”<br /><br />3. “Having given the said task, I have perused the evidence that has been investigated by MACC and the evidence that have been adduced and tested under cross examination thus far, I concluded that as a result of the cross- examination of the prosecution witnesses who has testified so far, the evidence supporting the first charge under Section 23 of the MACC Act and under Section 165 of the Penal Code has been substantially weakened. This conclusion was arrived in light of fresh evidence that have arisen during the cross-examination of prosecution witnesses.<br /><br />4. “Having made the above findings, I opined that I would not be fulfilling my duties as Deputy Public Prosecutor to let the case continue knowing full well that that the case against ..... would not succeed at the end of the prosecution case. Hence, I decided for the prosecution to enter nolle prosequi against both....(of them)....in accordance with Section 254 of the Criminal Procedure Code.<br /><br />5. He further said, “....I wish to stress that I have decided the representations without any influence from any quarters.... based on available evidence and governing law, which I did, without fear or favour.”<br /><br />My preliminary comments are, first, I do not believe that this press release was issued without the approval, including the wording, by the AG.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-17023821902790191322018-09-19T19:52:24.332+08:002018-09-19T19:52:24.332+08:00This is yet another first. Never in the Malaysian ...This is yet another first. Never in the Malaysian legal history was there an open clash between the two government departments. This happens after the MACC had been cleansed of “BN men” by the PH government. So, do not blame “the inside job of BN men”. The truth is there are many sensible and dedicated officers there.<br /><br />As the first Chairman of the Advisory Board of the SPRM, I know Dato’ Shukri. He is a dedicated and honest officer, indeed there are many like him there. I salute SPRM for issuing the statement. Perhaps Dato’ Sri Mohd Shukri is beginning to think that he should have remained in retirement, after all.<br /><br />This was followed by Tun Dr. Mahathir’s comments, made in Brunei Darussalam. He said, “They (MACC) have a right to be shocked. If they want to be shocked, they can be shocked. I am also shocked.”<br /><br />Asked to comment on the decision, Dr Mahathir said that he had never in the past questioned the decision of the courts.<br /><br />“If the court makes a decision which to me is wrong, I also never comment (tegur) on it.<br /><br />“This decision is made by the court so we have to accept it,” he said. (The Star Online September 3, 2018)<br /><br />According to the video recording of the press conference he also said, “If they (MACC) is not happy, they can appeal.”<br /><br />Listening to the way he answered the questions, clearly, he was trying to belittle the reporter who asked him the question. In so doing, first he shifted the blame to the court for acquitting Lim Guan Eng instead of to AG for not further prosecuting the case. The truth is that the judge had no choice but to discharge Lim Guan Eng, with or without acquittal, because the prosecution was not going to prosecute him further.<br /><br />Secondly, regarding his response that if the MACC is not happy, the MACC could appeal, he was manifestly wrong whether or not there was a full trial. The MACC is not a party to the case. MACC’s job is only to investigate.<br /><br />Tun Dr Mahathir could be excused for not knowing the technicality as he is not a lawyer but he should have stopped at saying “I too was shocked.” He could have added,” If you want to know more, ask the AG.”Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-30841891126160539112018-09-19T19:51:53.357+08:002018-09-19T19:51:53.357+08:00The terms that have been used are “withdrawing the...The terms that have been used are “withdrawing the charges”, “dropping the case,” “offering no further evidence” and “to enter nolle prosequi (where Public Prosecutor does not propose further to prosecute the accused).” For our present purpose, it is sufficient to say that they mean the same thing as Dato’ Hanafiah said, i.e. “where Public Prosecutor does not propose further to prosecute the accused”.<br /><br />The Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) provides thus:<br /><br />“254. (1) At any stage of any trial, before the delivery of judgment, the Public Prosecutor may, if he thinks fit, inform the Court that he will not further prosecute the accused upon the charge and thereupon all proceedings on the charge against the accused shall be stayed and the accused shall be discharged of and from the same.”<br /><br />(2) .....<br /><br />(3) Such discharge shall not amount to an acquittal unless the Court so directs.”<br /><br />The difference between a discharge amounting to an acquittal (DAA) and a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) is that:<br /><br />i. In a DAA, the case comes to an end.<br /><br />ii. In a DNAA, the case remains on the court register as pending, but no date is fixed for the next appearance. However, the prosecution may request the court for a new date to continue with the prosecution. The order is made, for example, where a witness cannot be traced after a few postponements but the prosecution still wants to proceed with the case.<br /><br />In a case where the prosecution informs the court that it does not intend to prosecute further, the practice is for the court to make an order of DAA. The reason is that, it was the prosecution that brought the accused to court and charged him. Later, the prosecution decided that it did not want to proceed with the prosecution. Why should the case remain on the court register as a part-heard case and why should the charge be kept hanging on the accused’s head indefinitely?<br /><br />In Public Prosecutor v. Syed Abdul Bahari Shahabuddin [1975] 1 LNS 137, it was held:<br /><br />“(1) unless there are good grounds to the contrary a discharge under section 254 of the Criminal Procedure Code should amount to an acquittal. Good grounds would arise where the prosecution is unable to proceed for the time being but can satisfy the court that the temporary impediment is not insurmountable and that it will proceed within a reasonable time.”<br /><br /><br />See also Koh Teck Chai v. Public Prosecutor [1967] 1 LNS 72 and Tan Chow Cheang (2018) 6 CLJ 452 (CA)<br /><br />Then came the MACC,s press release that it was “very shocked” (“amat terkejut”) to hear the news that Lim Guan Eng Guan was acquitted “after the prosecution had withdrawn the case”.<br /><br />"The MACC would like to stress that the decision was made by the Attorney General's office and not the MACC," the statement says.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-78518651762382459822018-09-19T19:51:21.528+08:002018-09-19T19:51:21.528+08:00Lim Guan Eng’s Case

We came to know later that he had appointed Dato’ Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria (Dato’<br /><br />Hanafiah) Head of the Appellate and Trial Division of the AGC, I believe, the new name for the division I was heading thirty years earlier, to do the job for him. As head of a division, in the AGC hierarchy, he is on the third layer, with AG on the first later, the Solicitors General on the second layer.<br /><br />Do you think he does not know that Tommy Thomas was the counsel for Lim Guan Eng in that case immediately before his appointment as AG? Do you think he does not know that Lim Guan Eng is the Minister of Finance? Do you think he does not know that that if Lim Guan Eng is convicted, most probably he will lose his job? Do you think he does not know that Tommy Thomas was the DAP’s candidate for AG? Do you think he would not perceive, rightly or wrongly, the reason for Tommy Thomas’ appointment? Do you think he would not perceive, rightly or wrongly, the decision Tommy Thomas would prefer? Do you think he does not know that his promotion depends on Tommy Thomas?<br /><br />Even if Tommy Thomas does not sign the letter to withdraw the charges, on whose behalf does Dato’ Hanafiah sign it?<br /><br />On September 3, 2019, the New Straits Times Online reported that the Penang High Court had granted a discharge amounting to an acquittal on Lim Guan Eng and Phang Li Koon over their corruption charges.<br /><br />“This followed an application made by Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Masri Mohd Daud to the court, based on a representation sent by the defence to the Attorney- General to withdraw the case, on July 6.<br /><br />Masri had applied for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal.<br /><br />Lim’s lead counsel, Ramkarpal Singh, and Phang’s lead counsel, Datuk V. Sithambaram, had requested for a full acquittal.<br /><br />Judge Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail, in her judgment, agreed with the counsels that the charges “cannot be hanging over the head of the accused indefinitely.”<br /><br />She stressed that there must be “finality.”<br /><br />She said a total of 25 witnesses had been called and the case was last heard in March.<br /><br />“The court cannot be slow. After six months, the prosecution has not proceeded with the matter. We do not conduct cases on instalments. There must be a stop. No commas.<br /><br />“The charge cannot be left hanging over the head of the accused indefinitely. We cannot be waiting for another six months for the case to proceed.<br /><br />“I cannot agree with the prosecution’s application because by doing so the court cannot close the case file. That cannot be the case. If we want to proceed, then we should proceed from A to Z.<br /><br />“So after studying the whole case, and the long duration to get the decision, the court orders both accused to be discharged amounting to an acquittal,” she said.”<br /><br />I think I have to pause here and clarify the various terms used, particularly, after Dato’ Hanafiah came out with the Latin term nolle prosequi, which not many people know how to pronounce, let alone know the meaning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-61603260092458349802018-09-19T19:50:10.052+08:002018-09-19T19:50:10.052+08:00TOM CAT AG LAW OF JUNGLE

The other inference is that all former AGs who were Malays, Muslims and from the Judicial and Legal Service, to put it mildly, were less qualified.<br /><br />Three weeks later (June 25, 2018) I wrote the article “Is the new AG choosing his briefs like a private lawyer?” This article was written after he made the statement that his stand was the same as that of the Bar Council that the post of AG and Public Prosecutor (PP) should be separate and that his priority was as the legal advisor to the government. In “Should the post of AG and PP be separate? (July 12, 2018; NST July 15, 2018, I wrote “Even if we separate the two posts, in my view, generally speaking, for the post of PP, an officer of the JLS is a more suitable candidate. I have no second choice.”<br /><br />I pointed out that, until the Constitution and the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) are amended, he is both AG and PP. That is what he is paid for. There is no question of him only doing the AGs work and not PPs. I also pointed out that AGs like Tan Sri Abu Talib, Tan Sri Mohtar Abdullah and Tan Sri Gani Patail always led the prosecution in high profile, public interest cases.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-46365184410381998262018-09-19T19:48:43.254+08:002018-09-19T19:48:43.254+08:00TOMMY TOM CAT
Bekas Ketua Hakim Negara Tun Abdul...TOMMY TOM CAT<br /><br /><br />Bekas Ketua Hakim Negara Tun Abdul Hamid Mohamad mengkritik Peguam Negara Tommy Thomas berhubung keputusannya dalam beberapa kes berprofil tinggi, termasuk tuduhan terhadap bekas Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak berkaitan 1MDB. <br /><br />Dalam kes itu, Thomas yang pada mulanya menjadi ketua pendakwa menarik diri atas sebab tidak dapat memberi tumpuan sepenuhnya terhadap kes itu ekoran tanggungjawabnya sebagai peguam negara. <br /><br />Beliau kemudian melantik bekas Presiden Majlis Peguam Datuk Sulaiman Abdullah untuk menggantikan tempatnya. <br /><br />"Ini mata pertama oleh Thomas. Tidak pernah dalam sejarah perundangan di Malaysia ada peguam negara mengakui dia tidak dapat berdepan dengan beban tugasnya, sehingga perlu melantik peguam persendirian untuk melakukan pendakwaan. <br /><br />"Atau, apakah dia takut kerana tiada pengalaman dalam pendakwaan? Kes ini tentunya bukan untuk sesiapa yang baru mahu belajar tentang pendakwaan," katanya dalam satu artikel panjang di blognya hari ini. <br /><br />Dalam artikel itu, beliau memberikan pandangannya berkenaan tempoh tiga bulan Thomas menjadi peguam negara. <br /><br />Hamid berkata Thomas diberi lapan bulan untuk menyediakan kes itu, jauh berbeza dengan pendakwa raya biasa yang ada kala diberi tempoh tidak sampai sebulan. <br /><br />'Peluang yang terlepas' <br /><br />Katanya, langkah Thomas itu membuktikan pandanganya bahawa peguam persendirian - walaupun cukup ternama - tiada pengalaman dalam mengendalikan pendakwaan atau kertas siasatan. <br /><br />Sebab itulah peguam negara perlu dilantik di kalangan perkhidmatan perundangan dan kehakiman, katanya. <br /><br />"Apa-apa pun dia terlepas peluang untuk membuktikan dirinya sebagai pendakwa yang bagus dalam satu kes paling kontroversi dan penting dalam sejarah perundangan Malaysia yang akan dikenang untuk satu tempoh yang panjang. <br /><br />"Semoga dia tidak akan dikenang sebagai peguam negara yang takut sehingga mengelak daripada mendakwa bekas perdana menteri," katanya lagi. <br /><br />Hamid juga mengkritik keputusan Thomas yang melantik bekas Hakim Persekutuan Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram sebagai timbalan pendakwa raya bagi menyediakan kertas pendakwaan ke atas kes-kes berkaitan 1MDB. <br /><br />Ia bermakna, katanya lagi, Sri Ram bertindak untuk menasihati Thomas sama ada wujud kes prima facie terhadap Najib. <br /><br />Katanya, sangat janggal untuk seorang peguam negara membuat keputusan berdasarkan pandangan orang lain, bukan meneliti sendiri bukti yang ada. <br /><br />"Dalam kes sepenting itu, orang menjangka peguam negara sendiri akan meneliti kertas sisatan - dengan bantuan pegawai - dan membuat sendiri keputusan." <br /><br />Paling tidak pun, Hamid berkata tentunya ada pegawai berpengalaman di pejabat peguam negara yang boleh diharapkan - berbanding mengambil peguam luar yang tidak pernah melihat kertas siasatan sepanjang kerjayanya. <br /><br />'Menjejaskan moral' <br /><br />Hamid berkata memandangkan Thomas sendiri tidak meneliti kertas siasatan untuk kes berkaitan 1MDB, kemungkinan besar beliau juga tidak akan mengetuai pendakwaannya. <br /><br />"Dengan melantik Sulaiman dan Sri Ram sebagai pendakwa, Thomas telah menjejaskan seluruh bahagian pendakwaan dan rayuan pejabat peguam negara, dan malah seluruh jabatan itu. <br /><br />"Seolah-olah tiada tidak yakin terhadap pegawainya yang telah bertugas selama berdekad. Seolah-olah mereka tidak cekap," katanya. <br /><br />Turut disentuh Hamid adalah beberapa kes lain, termasuk kepal pesiar mewah Equanimity, kes kerajaan Sarawak dengan Petronas dan pembatalan dakwaan terhadap anggota parlimen dan penyokong Pakatan Harapan. <br /><br />Setakat ini, Thomas lebih dikenali dengan apa yang tidak dilakukannya, bukan apa yang telah dia lakukan," katanya, sambil menambah Thomas berjaya memujuk tiga anggota Majlis Peguam untuk bekerja dengannya tanpa bayaran. "Kita hanya boleh berterima kasih kepada peguam-peguam ini atas pengorbanan mereka. Apakah mereka akan melakukan perkara sama jika yang tertuduh adalah menteri kerajaan HARAPAN?" soalnya.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-16737027942452952682018-09-19T19:47:15.016+08:002018-09-19T19:47:15.016+08:00PH ANTI RAJA

Alat buatan Israel ini digunakan untuk pengintipan serta mengumpul data. <br /><br />Teknologi ini juga telah digunapakai sebelum pilihanraya untuk membantu dalam perang siber.<br /><br />Beberapa orang pegawai kerajaan telah berjumpa dengan saya dengan menyatakan bahawa SPRM, Unit Khas, SKMM dan Pejabat Perdana Menteri turut menggunakan peralatan ini. Bila ia berkaitan dengan keselamatan negara, saya berpendapat ia adalah sesuatu yang sangat berharga. Namun, peralatan ini tidak patut diseleweng oleh mana mana pihak untuk kepentingan sendiri. <br /><br />Saya tahu ia digunapakai oleh kerajaan dahulu, tetapi tidak sepatutnya berlaku di zaman Malaysia Baru – tiada tempat untuk pengamalan sebegini kini. <br /><br />Adalah sangat tidak baik apabila ada pegawai yang telah menyampaikan pesan bahawa saya dan Ayahanda saya, DYMM Sultan Johor sedang diperhatikan. Ramai juga “cybertroopers” diletakkan pada halaman JDT serta laman peribadi kami seperti Official Sultan Ibrahim dan HRH Crown Prince of Johor atas perasaan kurang senang oleh beberapa pihak atasan. <br /><br />Ya, saya memang vokal tetapi ianya lahir dari rasa kasih sayang dan tanggungjawab saya kepada negeri Johor serta rakyatnya.<br /><br />Saya tidak akan berdiam diri jika ada beberapa parti yang ingin mengambil kesempatan memecahbelahkan perpaduan Bangsa Johor yang unik ini. <br /><br />Biar saya jelaskan sekali lagi bahawa saya tidak mempunyai apa-apa masalah dengan kerajaan. Johor sentiasa menyokong penuh kerajaan yang memerintah. Dengan itu, kami akan menyokong segala keputusan yang betul. Namun kami juga tidak akan berdiam diri apabila berlaku keputusan yang salah. <br /><br />Akhir kata, satu-satunya perkara yang rakyat mahukan adalah kerajaan mengutamakan kemajuan, bukannya bertelagah di dalam negara.

...Konsep rahmatan lil alamin PH satu ‘ajaran sesat’<br /><br /><br />Konsep rahmatan lil alamin yang didukung oleh Pakatan Harapan (PH) seharusnya diklasifikasikan sebagai ‘ajaran sesat’ kerana istilah yang berbaur Islam digunakan bagi mengelirukan umat Islam. <br /><br />Exco Penerangan dan Kajian Pemuda Isma (Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia), Muslim Abdullah Zaik berkata, konsep rahmatan lil alamin yang dibawa oleh PH adalah ajaran liberal yang diolah mengikut konteks tempatan. <br /><br />“Jika dilihat pendekatan mereka misalnya dalam isu lesbian, gay, biseksual, transeksual (LGBT), ia dikatakan haram, namun umat Islam diletakkan di kandang pesalah dan LGBT diletakkan sebagai mangsa. <br /><br />“Dalam isu sebat, sebat dikatakan sebahagian daripada hukum Islam namun pelaku diletakkan sebagai mangsa dan mahkamah syariah dikandang pesalah. <br /><br />“Ia sekaligus meletakkan ajaran Islam semata-mata dalam kertas untuk dibahas dan bukan pengaplikasian yang menyeluruh,” kata beliau dalam satu kenyataan, hari ini. <br /><br />Mengulas lanjut, Muslim berkata, ajaran ini meletakkan hak penafsiran dan pengaplikasian agama Islam ditangan ‘persepsi’ dan keinginan orang bukan Islam. <br /><br />Katanya lagi, suara yang dibawa oleh PH adalah wakil orang bukan Islam ke atas orang Islam yang berfungsi menjinakkan umat Islam sejinak mereka.<br />Sumber: https://www.ismaweb.netAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-51905312819893176182018-09-19T19:43:19.964+08:002018-09-19T19:43:19.964+08:00Namun, ketika ini untuk melaksanakan hukum had kep...Namun, ketika ini untuk melaksanakan hukum had kepada pesalah arak bukanlah satu yang mudah. Ia akan ditentang atas pelbagai alasan seperti persoalan hak asasi manusia, kejam dan sebagainya. Lebih dahsyat apabila hukuman ini dianggap kolot dan ketinggalan zaman. <br /><br />Yang pasti, segala hukum Allah ini kalau dilaksanakan mempunyai hikmahnya sendiri. Hanya Allah yang maha mengetahui mengenainya. Namun, baru-baru ini seorang ahli sains Rusia berpendapat bahawa hukum sebat kepada seseorang yang meminum arak akan memberi kesan rawatan kepada pesalah atau peminum arak. <br /><br />Sebagaimana yang dilaporkan oleh akhbar Izvestia, penyelidik di Novosibirsk menyatakan, hukuman rotan terhadap peminum arak tanpa berlapik mampu merawat penyakit ketagihan terhadap arak itu sendiri. Ini berlaku kerana melalui sebatan ia akan merembeskan endorfin, bahan kimia semula jadi badan membuatkan seseorang menjadi gembira. <br /><br />Endorfin menjadi punca perasaan girang, mengurangkan selera, mengeluarkan hormon seks dan meningkatkan tindak balas kekebalan. Mereka berkata, kesakitan itu mempunyai kesan yang hampir sama dengan morfin dan candu tetapi ia tidak mendorong kepada ketagihan atau pergantungan. <br /><br />Ahli sains itu yang diketuai pakar Biologi, Dr Sergei Speransky, mendakwa hukuman rotan seperti yang sering dilakukan di sekolah Britain pada kurun sebelum ini berjaya membantu orang ramai mengatasi ketagihan atau tekanan.<br /><br />Beliau yang bertugas di Institut Perubatan Novosibirsk berkata, rawatan itu terbukti berkesan. Ia tidak kejam sekurang-kurangnya itu adalah anggapan masyarakat lalu, tetapi saya menyokong hukuman itu. ? <br /><br />Ahli sains itu mencadangkan terapi sebanyak 30 sesi membabitkan 60 kali rotan, ke atas punggung seseorang berbadan sederhana. Dr Marina Chuhrova yang turut serta dalam menyediakan laporan itu menyatakan, beliau sudah pun mempunyai 10 pesakit yang menjalani terapi itu. “Pada mula mereka membantah tetapi apabila menyedari kebaikan tindakan itu, mereka pula yang meminta ia lakukan,” katanya.Pasukan perubatan Russia itu menyatakan mereka kini mengenakan caj untuk merotan pesakit dengan harga £57 (RM 342) , bagi sesuatu rawatan biasa. <br /><br />Segala sesuatu yang baru ditemui oleh para ilmuwan pada zaman moden ini, telah pun diketahui ilmunya oleh Rasul Kita Nabi Muhammad saw sejak 1500 tahun yang lalu. Ini menunjukkan bahawa Islam adalah agama yang benar. Semoga Allah memberikan keyakinan dan petunjuk kepada kita semua. <br /><br />Wallahu’alam….<br /><br />Sumber : kaunselingsyarieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-90370046669975784132018-09-19T19:42:54.378+08:002018-09-19T19:42:54.378+08:00Sains Mengaku Kebaikan Hukum Sebat Kepada Peminum ...Sains Mengaku Kebaikan Hukum Sebat Kepada Peminum Arak Sebagaimana Yang Ditetapkan Dalam Hukum Hudud<br /><br /><br /><br />Salah satu dari hukuman hudud ialah hukum sebat bagi mereka yang melakukan kesalahan meminum arak. Ketika zaman baginda Rasulullah dan para sahabat hukuman ini dilaksanakan semata-mata untuk mencari redha Allah dan seterusnya untuk memelihara maslahah ummah. Perbuatan meminum arak adalah dosa besar dan pelakunya akan dihukum mengikut hukuman yang telah ditetapkan. <br /><br />Tindakan mengenakan sebatan bagi peminum arak telah pun wujud didalam hukum Islam sepertimana yang termaktub didalam hadith-hadith Nabi Muhammad saw yang cukup banyak, antaranya : <br /><br />“Apabila mereka minum arak, sebatlah mereka, dan kemudian jika mereka minum lagi, sebatlah mereka dan kemudian jika mereka minum lagi, sebatlah mereka.” ( Riwayat Abu Daud): <br /><br />“Nabi s.a.w telah didatangi oleh seorang lelaki yang telah meminum arak, lalu telah disebatnya dengan dua pelepah tamar sebanyak 40 kali.” (Riwayat Muslim) <br /><br />“Sesungguhnya Nabi s.a.w merotan (sebat) dalam kes arak dengan pelepah tamar dan sepatu, kemudian Abu Bakar ( di zaman pemerintahannya) juga menyebat dengan 40 kali sebatan, di ketika pemerintahan Umar, beliau meminta pandangan orang ramai dari kampung dan desa lalu berkata : Apa pandangan kamu berkenaan sebatan bagi peminum arak?, lalu Abd Rahman Auf berkata : Aku berpandangan kita menjadikannya hudud yang paling ringan (merujuk kepada sebatan qazf) maka Umar membuat keputusan untuk menyebat dengan 80 kali sebatan.” ( Riwayat Muslim dan Abu Daud) <br /><br />“Berkata Ali r.a : Rasulullah menyebat peminum arak 40 sebatan, Abu Bakar juga 40 sebatan, Umar menyebat 80 sebatan, semuanya adalah sunnah, dan ini ( merujuk kepada 40 sebatan) adalah lebih aku sukai.” ( Riwayat Muslim ).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-66145721276878125142018-09-19T19:41:13.734+08:002018-09-19T19:41:13.734+08:00LGBT haram: Pemuda PAS pertahan Wan Azizah, bidas ...LGBT haram: Pemuda PAS pertahan Wan Azizah, bidas Marina<br />By Faiz Zainudin - September 1, 2018<br />Share<br /><br />Ahmad Fadhli Shaari simpati dengan nasib Wan Azizah yang tidak mendapat sokongan pucuk pimpinan PKR ketika beliau dikritik di khalayak ramai. (Gambar Bernama)<br />PETALING JAYA: Pemuda PAS hari ini mempertahankan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail yang tidak menyokong komuniti lesbian, gay, biseksual dan transgender (LGBT).<br /><br />Naib Ketua Pemuda PAS, Ahmad Fadhli Shaari tampil berbuat demikian selepas anak perdana menteri, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir mengkritik kenyataan menteri pembangunan wanita, keluarga dan masyarakat itu yang LGBT adalah haram.<br /><br />Beliau menyifatkan kenyataan Wan Azizah itu normal berdasarkan pelbagai ujian dihadapinya bersama keluarga ketika suaminya, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim didakwa meliwat “yang sehingga hari ini tidak berjaya dibuktikan secara syarie menurut undang-undang Islam”.<br /><br />“Sekalipun ia kekal misteri dan masyarakat akhirnya kekal tidak tahu siapakah yang berbohong, bapa Marina kah atau suami Wan Azizah, namun saya yakin jauh di sudut hati Wan Azizah, beliau sangat sensitif dengan isu yang telah menghilangkan 2 dekad ketenteraman keluarganya.<br /><br />“Pendirian Wan Azizah wajib disokong, bukan kerana ia keluar dari mulut seorang timbalan perdana menteri atau seorang isteri kepada mangsa fitnah, tetapi kerana ia adalah selari dengan Islam. Mana-mana pihak yang membiarkan gaya hidup kelompok LGBT, bahkan menyokongnya adalah haram sama sekali.<br /><br />“Mendekati golongan ini bukan bermakna mengiktiraf gaya hidup mereka. Anda mendekati golongan penagih dadah bukan bermakna anda setuju dengan gaya hidup mereka, tetapi tujuannya ialah untuk mengubah dan menjadikan mereka manusia normal yang bebas daripada pengaruh dadah.<br /><br /><br />“Demikian juga dengan LGBT, bahkan ia lebih jelas haram dengan terang untuk disokong,” tulisnya di Facebook hari ini.<br /><br />Terdahulu, Marina mempersoalkan Wan Azizah yang berkata, beliau tidak akan membiarkan gaya hidup golongan LGBT dan ia adalah haram.<br /><br />Aktivis sosial itu menulis di Twitter: “Kepada @drwanazizah, adakah anda memanggil ramai orang, termasuk saya yang telah menunjukkan sokongan kepada mereka yang terpinggir oleh masyarakat itu haram?”<br /><br />Beliau turut berkongsi pautan di Twitter tentang artikel Nikkei Asian Review yang melaporkan Anwar sebagai berkata: “Masyarakat Malaysia mesti hidup dengan kepercayaan dan cara hidup yang berbeza; dan harus menghormati mereka yang berbeza, termasuk golongan gay, biseksual dan transgender.”<br /><br />Fadhli turut mendakwa Marina cuba memesongkan kenyataan dan menjejaskan maruah Wan Azizah.<br /><br />“Istilah ‘haram’ yang digunakan, dipesongkan kepada maknanya seolah-olah golongan ini cuba dipinggirkan sama sekali.<br /><br />“Setidak-tidaknya Marina menunjukkan rasa hormat kepada bapanya Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad yang telah menangis di hadapan para ulama demi melihat masyarakat itu kembali kepada al-Quran.”<br /><br />Ahli Parlimen Pasir Mas itu simpati dengan nasib Wan Azizah yang tidak mendapat sokongan pucuk pimpinan PKR ketika beliau dikritik di khalayak ramai.<br /><br />“Sudahlah teguran Ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh, Nurul Izzah Anwar terhadap langkah perdana menteri melantik Tan Sri Rahim Nor untuk jawatan penting dibiarkan tidak bersambut, serangan terhadap (bekas) presiden parti sendiri pun tiada siapa yang ingin bangun membela.<br /><br />“Barangkali juga semua pihak dalam PKR sedang sibuk dengan urusan pemilihan dalaman. Mengharapkan orang yang sibuk membela Wan Azizah pada saat sekarang, samalah seperti mengharapkan harga barang turun selepas SST diperkenalkan.”Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411252986997266208.post-26691810950631887522018-09-19T19:40:20.184+08:002018-09-19T19:40:20.184+08:00PAS: Bazir duit rakyat lagi jika buat PRK untuk An...PAS: Bazir duit rakyat lagi jika buat PRK untuk Anwar<br />Anne Muhammad | Diterbitkan 1 Sep 2018, 5:09 petang | Dikemaskini 1 Sep 2018, 5:34 petang<br /><br />A+ A-<br />PAS berpendapat berjuta wang rakyat akan dibazirkan sekali lagi sekiranya pilihan raya kecil diadakan untuk memberi laluan kepada Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim bertanding bagi membolehkannya menjadi anggota parlimen.<br /><br />Timbalan Presiden PAS Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man berkata tiada keperluan untuk seseorang ahli parlimen meletakkan jawatan untuk memaksa rakyat mengundi semula.<br /><br />“Masalahnya ialah apakah perlu rakyat dipaksa untuk mengadakan pilihan raya semula. Berjuta dana negara akan dihabiskan untuk satu pilihan raya untuk sekadar beri ruang.<br /><br />“Saya fikir ni tak sepatutnya berlaku dalam negara demokrasi, kerana saya tengok biasanya kekosongan kerana faktor kematian, bankrap, hilang kelayakan. Bukan sengaja beri peluang. Ini macam Kajang Move,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis perbincangan antara PAS dan paderi Kristian di Hotel De Palma, Ampang, hari ini.<br /><br />Kajang Move atau Langkah Kajang merujuk kepada tindakan politik PKR untuk menyingkirkan Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim sebagai menteri besar Selangor pada 2014.<br /><br />Pada masa itu DUN Kajang yang disandang Adun PKR, Lee Chin Cheh dikosongkan bagi membolehkan pilihan raya kecil diadakan.<br /><br />Pada mulanya Anwar berhasrat bertanding di situ, namun keputusan mahkamah dalam kes liwat 2 tidak menyebelahinya dan kerusi itu kemudian diambil alih isterinya, Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.<br /><br />Anwar mendapat pengampunan Agong dan dibebaskan daripada hukuman penjara selepas Pakatan Harapan (HARAPAN) memenangi pilihan raya umum pada 9 Mei lalu. Bagaimanapun beliau pada masa ini tidak memiliki sebarang jawatan dalam kerajaan <br /><br />Sebelum ini wujud spekulasi terdapat usaha untuk menghalang Anwar menggantikan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad sebagai perdana menteri kelapan. Mahathir bagaimanapun menafikannya.<br /><br />Semalam, Anwar memberi bayangan bahawa beliau akan kembali ke parlimen sebagai “yang berhormat”, kemungkinan Oktober ini.<br />PAS akan lawan Anwar<br /><br />Mengulas lanjut, Tuan Ibrahim berkata pihaknya sedang melihat langkah seterusnya yang akan diambil oleh PKR bagi PAS menyusun gerak kerja sekiranya PRK itu benar-benar berlaku.<br /><br />“Kita akan tengok kerusi mana yang dikosongkan. Kalau kerusi tu PAS ada peluang untuk masuk, kita masuk, tak tahu kerusi mana.<br /><br />“Tapi ada ura-ura Permatang Pauh dan Sungai Petani. Saya anggap ni peringkat khabar angin yang belum boleh pegang. Kita bersedia (PRK). Kalau ada peluang untuk kita menang, PAS akan gerakkan calon,” katanya.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234646516623814580noreply@blogger.com
