Ramli Yusof vs Musa Hassan:
When a affluent ex-police military officer is given free rein to demonize a former Inspector General of Police, you get which sinking feeling. Some of you probably still remember a feeling, notwithstanding a mudah lupa nature, when just months after Tun Mahathir stepped down as PM, his successor's "men" proposed to systematically demonize a statesman. Are a rogues taking over?
In a way, a source of a Musa Hassan's predicament is quite similar with Mahathir's: both find which their respective successors to be a suffering in a butt! Or, rather, a people who surrounded their successors.
Ramli Yusof is cop who's done good for himself but there's no love mislaid in between him as good as Tan Sri Musa. How good has he done for himself? Big Dog has a details in his ultimate postingTaxman Cometh. I goal The Malaysian Insider will verify those information, seeing which a portal is very penetrating to foster free debate opposite a ex-IGP.

In Defence of Our Realm
by S Thayaparan*@www.malaysiakini.com
"As a society's needs evolve, a Police Force must additionally evolve to encounter brand brand new needs as well as assure a open of their safety." Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak (Bernama)
COMMENT: All this UMNO 'war talk' of late naturally leads to a subject of a purpose of a Malaysian Armed Forces in a event of a repeat of a 'May thirteen scenario, which UMNO foresees will start if BN loses federal power.
The most usual subject people who read my Malaysiakini criticism pieces ask is, "Which side will a Armed Forces take?"
My answer is, "No side, hopefully". But this rather glib reply masks a little really genuine concerns upon my partial (and of most other late Military as well as Police crew as well) about a negative notice of a Armed Forces by a ubiquitous public.
This would, no doubt, have been cultivated by a atrocious narrow-minded posturing of a troops powers-that-be.
Pro-Opposition (a good friend as well as comrade-in-arms for a improved Malaysia) blogger Zorrounmasked in his blog post 'Think out of your tanks, think-tanks' asks, nay demands, which a troops tip brass reaffirm in a really open manner their forthrightness (no matter a outcome) during a entrance ubiquitous election.
In his words: "This is no time for pundits as well as know-alls to teach the! ir feel- good or doomsday wares. This is a time a rakyat wants declaration which whichever approach they practice their vote, a result is for a improved Malaysia by a well-spoken passing from a single to an additional in to Putrajaya! And this declaration can usually come out from a mouths of a Generals as well as a Inspector-General of Police as per a oath they took."
I will end this square with since you consider this is a futile demand, though as a late troops officer, you am sympathetic to those who need this declaration as well as am ashamed (for my former profession) which it needs to be since in a initial place.
'Coyness' of a PM
To be honest, this question, or fright if you like, has been upon my thoughts for a little time now. The coyness of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in not entrance out as well as directly observant which there will be a well-spoken passing from a single to an additional of power is alarming.
Surely, such a simple reassurance of a most paltry of democratic practices would not be an emanate for a regime which aims to be a "best democracy in a world"?
Instead, what you have been 'promised', by no reduction a chairman than former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, is which a Opposition will "take to a streets" if they lose this election.
There were consistent references to Egypt as well as other populist revolutions across a globe. Malaysians were 'warned' to be grateful for a assent as well as fortitude which UMNO offers as well as a fight strain entrance from Putrajaya is which Opposition order will lead to chaos as well as commotion is a forgone conclusion.
This fright of 'military intervention' is not unfounded. Or rather, this fright of a probable collusion of UMNO as well as a troops is a unspoken fright of most opposition supporters, generally of late when Putrajaya is seen as a goal which can be presumably accomplished.
A recent example of this is when a Malaysian Ar! med Forc es (MAF) lodged a troops inform opposite Perak Opposition Leader Nizar Jamaluddin for observant which Najib met with senior troops officials as well as asked them to do "something" if BN loses a entrance ubiquitous election.
Nizar is reported to have claimed which these "senior troops officers refused" to do so, observant "they would side with a people, leading to an argument".
Let us inspect a reply of MAF Chief General Zulkefli Mohd Zin, as reported by Bernama: "Of late, a little irresponsible quarters with vested domestic interests have been perplexing to poison a minds of a people with a target of eroding open confidence in a MAF as well as statute government."
Now, nowhere in his reply does he reaffirm a forthrightness of a MAF though instead chose to engage in governing body by addressing BN talking points. A correct reply to Nizar's allegations would be a denial as well as a really open affirmation which a troops is apolitical.
It would up to Najib (and a relevant authorities) to residence this really critical subject of 'sedition', as well as not a MAF by its Police report.
But let us demeanour at it an additional way. In 2010, Azhar Ibrahim was dangling for six months from a Penang state assembly for making "references to a May thirteen situation as well as inviting a Armed Forces to take over a government", not to discuss his hazard which "Malay triad organization 'Tiga Line' would be called in to teach a state supervision a lesson."
So, since no inform opposite UMNO assemblyperson? UMNO distanced itself from these inflammatory remarks though my subject is, since didn't MAF Chief General Zulkefli board ! a Police inform alleging mutiny opposite UMNO's Azhar Ibrahim?
Of course, there was a retraction, upon top of "parliamentary privilege" called in to play. However, there was not a word from a general, who seemed more concerned which a repute of UMNO has been besmirched, rather than which of a MAF which was mentioned in a same breath as a "Malay triad organisation", not to contend anything of a actuality which what Azhar was advocating was a troops coup d'etat.
Malaysia's Stockholm set of symptoms
But this is not a initial time a tip brass of a MAF has been silent when dragged in to a domestic scene. Whether it is a subject of vote-rigging or a sale of arms or a BERSIH proof (about which a MAF has no jurisdiction to comment), a powers-that-be in a MAF have been discerning to emanate statements normally echoing a narrow-minded tongue of a statute BN coalition.
As you have witnessed, UMNO is discerning to conjure a ghosts of May thirteen as well as to allude to a actuality which a MAF is unquestioning constant to a government. Sometimes though, scrupulous retried armed forces crew reply to these provocations, as Lt-Kol (Rtd) Mohd Idris Hassan did when confronted by an UMNO politician who summoned a spook of May thirteen upon inhabitant television.
In his an perspective square in The Star in 2008 underneath a heading 'Bury a spook of May thirteen once as well as for all', Idris wrote:
"I am shocked as well as saddened which a little politicians have been still creation melancholy reference to a May thirteen secular riots of 1969. One seasoned politician was upon inhabitant TV Channel 101 upon Mar 15 creation reference to a May thirteen secular riots, observant which if a opposition parties continue to fan communal sentiments, an additional May thirteen will happen, adding with a raised index finger, 'Da! n jangan salahkan kami.' (Then don't censure us.)"
Idris goes upon to describe what he witnessed upon May 13, 1969 as well as suggested a probable solution to all this May thirteen provocations: "On which fatal day, you was a young troops officer serving in a army. you witnessed firsthand a carnage as it unfolded. People were pounded since they were of a wrong race, at a wrong place at a wrong time. Everyone suffered.
"It is thus my romantic goal which a new, revamped supervision will pass specific laws creation it an offence to raise threats of an additional May thirteen secular riots.No a single should be allowed to steal assent as well as fortitude in a country."
Another late troops troops officer who is discerning to reply to provocations from Putrajaya concerning issues involving a troops is Major (Rtd) D Swami, whose blog '7thRangers' is a undoubted value trove of troops lore.
The Major, who was partial of a Malaysian fortuitous in a UN peacekeeping force in Somalia, is maybe a foremost chronicler of a purposes played by non-Malays in a armed forces.More importantly, Swami's blog is a covenant to a historical, multiracial composition of a MAF as well as ? la mode efforts to downplay a purpose of minorities in a service.
It would appear which Malaysians, or at least a sure section of a electorate, has been suffering underneath a little kind of Stockholm set of symptoms when it comes to UMNO as well as a state's security apparatus.
Waking up a really genuine concerns of troops impasse in a electoral process has resulted in renewed calls for UMNO domestic leaders as well as a Malaysian Armed Forces to unambiguously acknowledgement which there will be a peaceful passing from a single to an additional of power as well as which a forthrightness of a MAF will remain sacrosanct.
In a concluding partial of this square tomorrow, you will draw upon a writings of a late General in an try to briefly cont! extualis e a problems this 'fear' involves as well as insist since you think, in a stream Malaysian domestic atmosphere, such calls have been exercises in futility.
S THAYAPARAN is Commander (Rtd), Royal Malaysian Navy as well as unchanging writer to Malaysiakini. you read his articles regularly since he writes with frankness as well as passion upon issues inspiring us all. This is a initial time you have selected to post this article upon my blog. My reason for doing so is obvious. The Military is a last goal for assent as well as stability.Din Merican

Confessions of a Pakatan Speaker
Power funny Pakatan Rakyat politicians? Let's hear it from them ...!
- Lee Long Hui
- 4:28PM Dec 4, 2012
Almost five years after forming a state supervision in 4 states, Pakatan Rakyat has unsuccessful to remodel a institution of a legislature, according to Selangor orator Teng Chang Khim.
Teng attributed this to a refusal of politicians, who exert control over a Executive, to give up their powers.
He additionally pronounced there was miss of political will for remodel to have a legislative assemblies independent of state governments.
If I were to set up a KPI (key opening index), it would show which Pakatan has unsuccessful in this respect, Teng (left) told a forum upon parliamentary remodel at a Kuala Lumpur as well as Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall final night.
Teng, who is Sungai Pinang assemblyperson, remarkable which only a Selangor state public has been pro-active.
It has shaped 3 select committees, as good as a Special Select Committee upon Competency, Accountability as well as Transparency, to scrutinise a state governments performance. It has additionally set up live online streaming of sittings.
We have been articulate about this (select committees) for many years, though when you became a government, how many states have implemented this? Only Selangor has finished so, he said.
Teng pointed ! out whic h society, too, lacked bargain of a didactic discourse of subdivision of powers as well as unsuccessful to vigour politicians land executive posts to remodel a legislature.
What is a speaker? Nobody pays attention to a speaker, no matter how great he or she is, he pronounced cynically.
Selangor govt found wanting
Teng additionally pronounced a Selangor supervision had yet to agree to table a Assembly Service Commission Enactment Bill 2009 - which he had drafted - for passage through a state assembly.
The enactment would have made a state public entirely independent of a Executive in terms of resources as well as funds, as is a use in alternative Commonwealth countries which have a remarkable legislature.
The subdivision of powers is about sharing of power, though it is not happening here. Before you came into power, you had pronounced it loud as well as transparent which you would do so, he added.
But afterwards, you are not peaceful to let go of power... When you shift your position, you shift your mindset as well.

Together you stand, Divided you fall

JORGE Luis Borges once wrote which there was no end to a illusions of patriotism. In an essay he called Our Poor Individualism, published in 1946, Borges began with a following lesson: "In a initial century of a era, Plutarch mocked those who spoken which a Athenian moon is improved than a Corinthian moon; Milton, in a 17th, celebrated which God is in a robe of divulgence Himself initial to His Englishmen; Fichte, during a beginning of a 19th, spoken which to have character as well as to be German have been patently a single as well as a same thing."
Religion as well as nationalism have been mostly unsuited with freedom. They have been both concepts compelled by definition. They need steadfast conviction. They do not concede for any arrange of relapse conjunction in visualisation nor in belief. They duty upon an insincere superiority, upon a romantic faith which their approach isn't only a right way, though additionally a usually way. They have been all a time facing down a fright of rising new influences which threaten to undermine their credit as well as their role in society.
It is what it is. And to expect anything else would be naive. Doctrine, after all, final a certain doggedness. It requires inflexibility. It makes no room for compromise. It only would not work if it did. Not practically. Not definitionally.
Now, there is no extricating sacrament from a politics. The vast majority of us have been deeply religious. It is a approach of life. It is something so confirmed in to a everyday, in to a culture, as well as even in to a language. It is so most a partial of who you have been as well as how you brand ourselves which any governing body would be linge! ring to not address it. The separation of mosque (of church, of temple) as well as state is simply not possible. Why? Because it only isn't what a majority of a citizenry want.
Over a past few weeks, you seem to have experienced a arrange of stalemate with regards to a discourse upon sacrament as well as its role in a society. From (Parti Keadilan Rakyat Vice-President-right) Nurul Izzah Anwar's matter upon leisure of religion, to those Kelantan bylaws restricting what hairdressers can as well as cannot do, to a constant evocation of God in a politics, there has been no shortage of fodder for a conversation.
The unhappy state of a affairs, however, is which you have been you do small to engage in this conversation. There has been copiousness of gibberish as well as far too most noise. And most of it has been about what can as well as cannot be pronounced rsther than than an tangible discuss about what was said. There have been reprimands as well as recriminations though small to no communication. The hapless consequence of which is which it seems to pull us serve in to a respective racial as well as eremite silos. Malay, Chinese, Indian. Muslim, Christian, Hindu. Rendering us separate. Individual. Disparate rsther than than distinct. Divergent rsther than than diverse.
Our individuality has always been a source of strength. Our recent individualism, upon a alternative hand, is cause for concern. You demeanour after your God as well as I'll demeanour after mine. Don't bother yourself with my problems, only be concerned about your own.
There seems to be a flourishing isolationism among us. This misplaced idea which you can someway duty as a republic if you only mind a own business as well as not involve ourselves in which of a neighbours. But that's only not how multitude works.
Living together means learning how to live together. Any decent multitude! conting ency beget a feeling of community. Community offsets loneliness. It gives people a undeniably required clarity of belonging. My neighbour's problems have been my own. There is no escaping it. And trying to only risks a communalism which is altogether dangerous.
We need to speak as well as you need to speak often. There needs to be a colourful review about a obligations to ourselves as well as to a single another, about a links which you need to create to support any other.
In a wise analogy, clergyman Henry Ward Beecher drew his divine inspiration from a timberland when he said "God designed men to grow as trees grow in open pastures, full-boughed all around; though men in multitude grow similar to trees in forests, high as well as spindling, a lower ones overshadowed by a higher, with usually a small branching, as well as which during a top. They borrow of any alternative a power to stand; as well as if a timberland be cleared, as well as a single be left alone, a initial breeze which comes uproots it".

The University: Revisiting its Vision and Mission

The University: Revisiting a Vision as good as Mission
Comment
by Prof Shad Saleem Faruqi*(11-27-12)@www.thestar.com.my
A UNIVERSITY is a church of guidance as good as a warehouse of a believe as good as believe of a past. It is a small box of art, culture as good as science as good as a mir=ror of humanity's good heritage. At a same time it is a laboratory for contrast out a new prophesy of a future.
In some-more than four decades as a teacher, you have witnessed a ebb as good as flow of most educational movements. Some of them give me a feeling which you have been selecting show over substance.
Industrial links: In sequence to rebut a charge which universities have been ivory towers with no tall regard of governmental needs, all universities have fake close relations with a professions, industries as good as commerce. Curricula have been devised to prove Qualifying Boards as good as intensity employers. Students have been compulsory to do durations of apprenticeship. Captains of attention have been mostly recruited as adjunct professors.
All this is laudable. At a same time it contingency be realised which a orientation towards industries as good as a professions distorts university preparation in some ways. A balance is needed.
Lack of magnanimous education: The purpose of universities is to advance believe as good as set up characters as good as not just careers. In their mania with slight veteran goals as good as employability of graduates, most universities adopt curricula which have been bereft of a arts as good as hu! manities . This scarcity as good as misery is accentuated because, distinct most countries, veteran courses in Malaysia do not need a grade during entrance point.
If a university is loyal to a worth, it contingency provide holistic preparation as good as produce well-balanced graduates who have professionalism as good as idealism, an understanding of a realities as good as a prophesy of what ought to be. Merely provision technically-sound though morally-neutral tellurian cogs in an industrial wheel to minister to tall production figures, will not in a prolonged range lead to enlightened growth of tellurian capital or of society.
Research: The consequential core factor in a university's eminence is qualified academicians with proven investigate abilities as good as a solid joining to lead as good as enthuse their wards to transport up a mountain path of knowledge.
A university cannot turn an acclaimed university unless it possesses a vast series of scholars who have been a voice of a professions as good as who not only reflect a light produced by others (knowledge application) though have been in their own right a source of new enlightenment (knowledge generation).
However, importance upon investigate is heading to a series of inauspicious tendencies. Teaching is being neglected. Committed teachers have been being bypassed in tenure as good as promotions in foster of entrepreneuring researchers.
Instead of singling out as good as ancillary good researchers wherever they have been found, a Malaysian approach is to anoint some universities with RU (Research University) status as good as showering them with special grants. Innovators in non-research universities have been thereby prejudiced.
Research has various components: Capacity, Productivity as good as Utility.
The initial (capacity) can be developed. Sadly, mostly it becomes an finish in itself. The second (productivity) does not necessarily follow from a first. The third (utility) is mostly ! lacking. A good understanding of investigate has no impact upon a lessening of a problems of society. Prestige as good as distinction overrule public purpose. We need better criteria for investigate grant eligibility.
Seeking best students: At a risk of sounding heretic, you instruct to contend which this modern mania with seeking "the best students" is not conducive to social justice. Highly motivated, intelligent as good as articulate students have training a pleasure. But what is even some-more satisfying is to take typical students as good as convert them in to unusual persons; to cover typical clay in to functions of art.
It is submitted which entrance points should be flexible. They should be based upon holistic criteria. They should take note of initial environmental handicaps. They should be responsive which equitable access to believe is a factor in tolerable development. They should further a university's purpose to support in social as good as mercantile progress; to cut poverty; to assistance a disadvantaged.
Entry points have been reduction critical than exit points. How a student ends a race is some-more critical than how he/she began it. All universities should be compulsory to run some remedial programmes for under-achievers as good as to rehearse affirmative movement for all marginalised sections of a population.
Over-specialisation: Our system is committed to training some-more as good as some-more upon reduction as good as less. Production of sufficient professionals as good as technocrats for a industries as good as a job marketplace is an overriding role. However there is clear evidence which half or some-more than half of a graduates finish up in roles outside of their university training.
In an age of globalisation, mercantile booms as good as busts, as good as tall stagnation rates, there is a growing disconnect in between what students investigate as good as what their successive careers are.
It is therefore, necessary to si! ght stud ents for multi-tasking, multi-disciplinary approaches; to have split-degree courses; as good as to produce graduates who have career flexibility as good as who have been able to conform to different hurdles during work.
Community service: Universities contingency offer multitude as good as not just by producing graduates for a job-market. All university courses contingency have an maudlin component as good as contingency hover a order in between being people-oriented as good as being profession-oriented.
The curriculum contingency be so devised which staff as good as students have been concerned in a amelioration of a problems of society, in schemes for eradicating poverty, protecting a en-vironment, providing fresh water, charge control, insurance from disease, adult preparation as good as giveaway legal, medical, blurb as good as technical advice.
Tailor-made, short term courses for targeted groups should be devised to enrich lives. These courses should have no formal entrance requirement. Town-gown relations should magnify to links with NGOs, GLCs as good as general groups which have been concerned in rational quests similar to environmental sustainability.
Globalisation: Internationalisation of believe is consequential for humanity's advancement. However, to be truly global, you contingency not omit citadels of excellence in Japan, Korea, China, India as good as Iran. It retards a progress as good as prevents us from addressing problems peculiar to a clime which a tertiary preparation suffers from a debilitating Western bias.
Our course structures, curricula, textbooks, as good as icons have been all European as good as American. It is as if a whole of Asia as good as Africa is as good as regularly was an egghead desert. The conflicting is true.
Asian universities contingency set up their garlands of believe with flowering plants from most gardens. That would! be loya l globalisation.

Everything has changed but UMNO

Everything has altered though UMNO
by Terence Netto@www.malaysiakini.com
UMNO no longer manners a set down in Malaysian politics. There was tearful lamentation between a delegates over this fact though no introspection over how this had come to be.-Terence Netto
COMMENT Everything has altered for UMNO, though zero has altered inside of UMNO.It used to be which UMNO got what UMNO wanted. So powerful was a party, it was sovereign of all it surveyed upon a Malaysian domestic stage.
The gaudy theatre of a just-completed annual ubiquitous assembly final week could not censor a salience of a new being which UMNO no longer manners a set down in Malaysian politics. There was tearful lamentation between a delegates over this fact though no introspection over how this had come to be.
Rarely adept during self-scrutiny, it tried to surpass itself in raised a fears: by excoriating a Opposition with reproach as well as calming itself it enjoys divine sanction. In a process, it underscored a being which a celebration has no new ideas of what to do to overcome a complaint of a decline in popularity.
Years of regurgitating clichs had brought it to a theatre where it relies upon a reflex, rather than a fresh idea in a face of new challenges.
Thus a Head of a women's wing, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, conjured up a spook of renewed secular riots a May thirteen spook when a national accord is which a scab should not be peeled behind to expose a wound of which situation in a common memory.
Some incidents have been as well dire for recall as well as so a mere discuss of them brings out a goosef! lesh. UM NO's boosters know this, which is because they run out a mental recall of May thirteen to cow voters ancillary their opponents in to subservience. But this time around, any assault which occurs after a vote in a 13th ubiquitous choosing would not be inter-racial though intra-racial violence.
That's a radical proposition, with those who in a centre undervalue this faith exposing their attenuation from a being that's out there by a extent of their self-delusion about a competition of illusive enforcers as well as targets in any post-balloting flare-up.
But the biggest misinterpretation of all is which UMNO thinks it can plausibly mountain a good quarrel in an choosing when a President is clearly underneath duress from factions inside of a party, as well as which opposition possibilities can be whipped in to receiving unanimity if they have been not nominated to stand.
Murder which grows some-more extraordinary with time
From a time of a final choosing in 2008, UMNO has struggled with a delusions, a principal a single being which a urgent need for remodel could be filled by a personality who, if reform's logic were to be fulfilled, would be replaced by a thrust.
That it can't do which was starkly unprotected by ominous disclosures by operatives, timed for just prior to a party's annual confab, peripherally inextricable in a saga which will never die a Altantuya Shaarriibuu murder case of 2006.
Unlike a May thirteen incident, whose mishap renders a legatees catatonic, the murder of a Mongolian lady grows some-more as well as some-more extraordinary with time.
Like Banquo's spook in Shakespeare's Macb! eth, it hovers over a parties with links to a personnel which have been indicted as well as found guilty for a deed.
It's a proverbial hungry spook which will not be appeased until a demands of justice in a case have been satisfied.
It has not been, which is why, similar to a nonplus of an unsolved crime, it comes behind to haunt those with a little tie to a sum of a incident.
The disproportion between a many recent disclosures about a part as well as prior ones is which some-more people upon a periphery of a part have been tending to exhibit how they got concerned in a convoluted strands.
This bent will keep a tilt of avowal spinning until a story upon a periphery crumbles as well as collapses upon a centre. Things tumble apart, a centre cannot hold, was a sage regard of a poet WB Yeats.
The Irish bard was talking about cataclysmic events in Europe almost a century ago.His haunting lines do ring with present times in our nation which is staid upon a verge of seismic change, against a backdrop of murder which continues to give off reverberations reaching tall places.
Until a Altantuya murder gets a full reckoning, all which has caused UMNO to be marked down from monarchs to plebeians of a domestic consult will not jar it to turn things a other way round.

Kenangan Mengusik Jiwa : Thagarajah a/l Thagavelu Dakwa Najib Amal Amalan Agama Hindu'
Di dalam Akuan Bersumpah berkenaan, Thagarajah mendakwa Najib mengamalkan ajaran agama Hindu. Perkara ini pernah ditulis oleh blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin dengan tajuk "Najib: Muslim by birth, Hindu by practice".
Berikut disiarkan semula Akuan Bersumpah berkenaan untuk makluman kita bersama.
Terjemahan surat Akuan Bersumpah Thagarajah a/l Thangavelu (Kredit terjemahan: Mat Saman Kati)
Saya, Thagarajah a/l Thangavelu (K/P: 590821-10-6033), seorang warganegara Malaysia yang dewasa dan menetap di No.20, Jalan BK 4/1F, Bandar Kinrara, 47100 Puchong, Selangor Darul Ehsan dengan ini menyatakan dengan benar perkara-perkara berikut:-
Saya bekerja sebagai pemandu.
Sekitar tahun 1995, saya memulakan kerja dengan Datuk K.S Nallakaruppan ("Datuk Nalla") sebagai pemandu merangkap pengawal peribadi. Saya bekerja dengan beliau selama 5 tahun. Kemudian saya menyertai Datuk Kenneth Eswaran. Datuk Kenneth Eswaran menetap di Johor dan saya menjadi pemandu untuk ibunya yang tinggal di Petaling Jaya. Kemudian saya bekerja sebagai pemandu untuk Datuk kenneth Eswaran.
Kenneth Eswaran Datuk Kenneth Eswaran adalah kawan rapat D! atuk Ser i Najib bin Tun Razak, Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia pada masa ini.
Melalui Datuk Kenneth Eswaran (gambar), Mr. Ji telah diperkenalkan kepada Datuk Seri Najib dan isterinya, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor. Saya telah beberapa kali membawa Mr. Ji ke rumah Datuk Seri Najib.
Datuk Kenneth Eswaran mengiringi Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji selalunya membawa bersama beberapa peralatan sembahyang mengikut ugama Hindu untuk melakukan upacara di rumah Datuk Seri Najib. Upacara ini dilakukan setiap bulan semasa 'Ammavasi', yang mana merupakan masa di mana bulan tidak kelihatan. Upacara ini merupakan upacara Hindu di mana melibatkan jampi mentera menggunakan peralatan sembahyang menurut agama Hindu seperti kunyit, vibuthi, kum kum, limau, kapor barus, susu lembu yang diletakkan di atas daun pisang.
Api sembahyang akan dinyalakan di dalam rumah dan kedua-dua Datuk Seri Najib dan Datin Seri Rosmah akan duduk di tengah-tengah dan Mr Ji menjalankan upacara pemujaan. Kedua-dua Datuk Seri Najib dan Datin Seri Rosmah kemudiannya dimandikan dengan susu. Selepas upacara pemujaan, sebahagian daripada bahan-bahan pemujaan dibawa keluar rumah dan ditanam untuk menghindarkan mereka daripada kerja-kerja kejahatan.
Seperti yang saya katakan, semua bahan pemujaan ini dibawa oleh Mr. Ji, dibantu oleh saya ke rumah Datuk Seri Najib, baik di Jalan Duta atau pun di kediaman rasmi di Putrajaya. Saya juga pernah membawa susu lembu dan bahan-bahan pemujaan lain di dalam kawasan kediaman Datuk Seri Najib. Saya hadir pada setiap upacara bilamana Mr. Ji melakukan pemujaan. Semua ini berterusan sehinggalah saya berhenti kerja denga Datuk Kenneth Eswaran.
Saya percaya bahawa upacara pemujaan ini masih berterusan.
Semasa Pilihan Raya Kecil Ijok yang lalu, saya membawa Mr. Ji ke pekarangan tempat mengundi di Ijok di mana Mr. Ji meletakkan bahan-bahan pemujaan ini untuk memastikan kemenangan calon MIC, K. Parthiban.
Saya percaya perbuatan yang sama akan dilakukan un! tuk meletakkan bahan-bahan pemujaan adat Hindu ini! dan tan gkal di dalam ataupun pekarangan tempat mengundi di Permatang Pauh.
Saya juga mempunyai maklumat bahawa doktor yang menyediakan laporan perubatan untuk Razak Baginda, tertuduh di dalam perbicaraan Altantuya, wanita Mongolia, yang sedang berlangsung, adalah palsu kerana Datuk Kenneth Eswaran telah mengarahkan doktor untuk memalsukannya. Arahan tersebut dibuat semasa saya sedang memandu untuk Datuk Kenneth Eswaran.
Dalam beberapa peristiwa, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor meminta Datuk Kenneth Eswaran, meminta pertolongan Mr. Ji untuk menjauhkan mereka daripada perkara-perkara jahat. Pada satu ketika, Datin Seri Rosmah memanggil Datuk Kenneth Eswaran, menyatakan kebimbangannya kerana Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi akan mengahwini Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah. Datuk Kenneth Eswaran berjanji kepada Datin Seri Rosmah bahawa dia akan meminta Mr. Ji untuk melakukan pemujaan untuk menghalang perkahwinan tersebut.
Saya membuat Akuan Bersumpah ini kerana terdapat beberapa perkembangan melibatkan Datuk Nalla, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Datuk Seri Najib, Datin Seri Rosmah dan Datuk Kenneth Eswaran yang saya kenali semasa saya bekerja sebagai pemandu. Peristiwa yang melibatkan kehilangan Penyiasat Bebas, P. Balasubramaniam merisaukan saya.
Dan saya membuat pengakuan ini dengan penuh kebenaran seperti yang termaktub di dalam peruntukan Akta Akuan Bersumpah, 1960.
