Malaysia Today recently published the SMSes, alleging that Najib abused his power and interfered in the investigation into the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.
When reporters kept pressing him to elaborate, Najib said: “Why should there be a major concern? If it is of public interest, read it very carefully, there is no abuse of power. Period.” - Star, 14/10/2008 - No abuse of power, says Najib
Well, some are wanting that there be an investigation not just on that text-messages but on many other matters as well...
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has called for a probe on Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for allegedly abusing his power in relation to the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case.
Anwar’s call came in the wake of an alleged exchange of text-messages, purportedly between Najib and senior lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah over the alleged involvement of political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda in the case.
“Our allegations against Najib - from the murder of Altantuya, the submarines and Eurocopter (purchase deal) to the SMSes exchanged between him and the lawyer - there is no response, no investigation and no report,” said Anwar, when met in the Parliament lobby today.“So you find there is a case where a public figure wants to be shielded from any investigation.”
Anwar, also the Permatang Pauh MP, said the latest development will affect the government’s credibility.
He called for open investigation to uncover the truth, saying: “How can we accept a leader who is not prepared to defend himself? (But) I am not suggesting anything except for an open investigation.” - Malaysiakini, 14/10/2008 - 'Investigate Najib over text-messages'
It seems that many are going out of the way to protect and shield him...WHY?
We cannot leave this hanging...or swept under the carpet...
I am wondering HOW they managed to get that SMS communications of Mohd Najib... (Does that mean all our own SMS communication can also be intercepted and read by others..)
Anyway, for those who have read the SMS communication - what do you think? Do you agree with Najib that there was no abuse of power?
I wouldn't wish to speculate on the matter of abuse of power. But when you ask if SMS can be stored and read, rest assured that they most certainly can and most certainly are. As are phone conversations (digital), emails, web browsing (from IP tracking) and lots of other stuff.
ReplyDeleteOf course it's essentially impossible to continuously monitor every single person, however if you "pop up" on the radar for any reason, then it is remarkably easy to get hold of your number, IP, email, whatever, and then access the full records for that digital communication medium.
Now I'm not entirely certain on the laws here in Malaysia, but I know for sure that the UK passed such laws that allow all digital communication to be intercepted, stored for 7 years, and in the event of you "popping up" then a warrant can be obtained (without your knowledge, of course, as this is "essential" in anti-terrorism blah blah) and the stored data can and will be used as evidence in a court of law.
I imagine it's not too far different here.
Cheers. Always good reading materiel by the way
Oh well....!
ReplyDeleteFor sure nothing will be done even if there's truth in it!
The Bala SD was thrown out...
What makes us think this will go to court...?
All the people mention by Shafee is being manhandled by Najib..!
All I know is that we Malaysians are screwed left right & centre for as long as these goons are in power...!
By the way can someone tell me how did they manage to intercept these sms.....?
Moreover our PM told us rakyat to ignore Altantuya's case & believe in Najib....!
Where can..................?
WE NOT STUPID...!
Say 4 lorh..................!!!
What a PM...!
It can be said that he was simply enquiring about his close friend and ally and the SMS shows that he was obtaining info through Shafee. But the question still looms that
ReplyDelete1. So you knew this guy quite well, how did that influence your giving him the commission for the defence contract. Did you get any favours in return
2. Since he is so close to you, you must have known that he had something with Altantuya? I think if someone wants to know if you met here, tracing of international immigration records could put all three in the same place and then check out the restaurants. A good private investigator in France will do the trick. And we will know, wont we? But are the authorities interested?
3. It was your personal security detail that has been accused of this murder with Razak Baginda. Where do you stand in all of this?
4. Since you had been keenly interested to help this fellow RB as seen by your SMS, why you have never declared this being a public figure in line with being transparent?
5. Why are you afraid to talk about this and hiding behind what the PM has said. In any case the PM is not actually qualified to issue the type of statement that the PM has issued, this is being reckless without a proper investigation being done. Has the PM more info about this entire fiasco about Altantuya that he actually has disclosed?
6. Why isn't anyone interested to track down Bala, who could be the key to all of this?
Many many more unanswered questions and questions that arise because of this sms communication.
In any other country, the politician would have resigned and stepped aside on the basis of principles, honour and self dignity.
This is not settled till a royal commission is formed to investigate these allegations, improprieties and alleged abuse of power or even active involvement in the Altantuya case. And a royal commission is necessary as we are going to entrust the whole nation in the hands of this one man. It is therefore justified and a requirement that the royal commission is constituted. Since the politicians do not seem to care, the Agung must now step in to do the right thing and protect the rakyat and Malaysia.
Najib is a man of many faces, is like a beautiful book cover with ugly materials inside the pages.
ReplyDeleteWhere do we draw a line, the abuse of power of top executives of the land.
DPM took special and personal interest in a murder case, where his name was linked and another notorious character Saiful, the scholarship seeker. Why this particular murder case? If a DPM make it his business involving himself with murder cases, he will be failing his duty to look after the country.
In Malaysia, the abuse of power by members of the ruling party is close to the difference of "LOVE an LUST"

ReplyDeleteNO ABUSE OF POWER??? THEN WHY SHOULD HE LOGICALLY BE INVOLVED WITH THE DEFENSE LAWYER FOR THE ACCUSED PERSONS IN THE MURDER CASE IF HE IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE MURDER OF THE MONGOLIAN LADY ALTANTUYA???
FIRST ABOLISH ISA, OSA AND SEDITION WHATEVER ACTS THAT CAN BE EXPLOITED TO OPPRESS AND SUPPRESS THE RAKYATS IF THEY ARE REALLY SINCERE BUT VERY DOUBTFUL THAT BN UNDER THE CONTROL OF UMNO THE OPPRESSOR WILL DO ANYTHING TO CURB THEIR OWN SELFISH AGENDA TO CHEAT AND PLUNDER THE COUNTRY BY THE VERY FEW WITH REAL POWERS WITHIN THEM
Can C4 Altantuya be a respected PeeM of Boleh Nation called Malaysia, if so then Boleh Land’s Rakyats will suffer greater hardship from the UMNO Oppressor???
The use of ISA to protect Nargis is taking a toll on the Nation’s economy, the capital flights were the nett results. It is this tyro Finance Minister who will further sleep with Bodohwi’s budget against the present world economic situation are the issues the Rakyats of Malaysia will further face and suffer greater hardship and took toll on the higher food prices that are not coming down soon. The tyro Finance Minister could not find any solution nor direction in resolving the urgent need to keep food prices down reasonably.
The UMNO Clown Botak and his cohorts will be made to taste their own medicines when the time of reckoning comes very soon.
Leave BN, all Component Parties with a conscience must leave the Evil Master Oppressor UMNO for good ok??? Leave & let them, the UMNO clowns to settle the horse trading & witchhunt between Flip Flop and C4 ok???
Come October 2008 there is nothing left but the Opposition Leader’s Post to Hand Over from Flip Flop to C4 ok???
There should be no peace for Botak if the ISA detainees are not released and the oppressive draconian law is not abolished because such injustices are not tolerated and thus create great discontentment in this modern society. One day Botak and his cohorts should be made to eat their own medicine for the injustices they have committed against the detainees especially RPK & Hindraf Leaders, our Brave Heros no doubts.
We call upon all the Rakyats of Malaysia to sign a Petition to be sent to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong to release RPK from his detention under ISA because there is a hidden agenda of a conspiracy of using his detention to silence him so that he could not further release more evidences against the real C4 murderers of Altantuya because all the accused were all fall guys of the real murderers because they all did not have a real & logical motive to murder the Mongolian Lady.
THE NEW DAWN OF MALAYSIA HAS COME & THE FIRST THING IS TO ALLOW APPEALS & THEN RELEASE ALL ISA DETAINEES, ABOLISH ISA, OSA, SEDITION OR WHATEVER ACTS THAT COULD BE EXPLOITED AND MADE PREJUDICIAL AND OPPRESSIVE TO THE VOICE OF DISSENT FROM ALL THE RAKYATS.
It is very easy to generate Police Reports against DSAI by using Penang Mamak Umno’s 25 Members headed by Wan Abidin Zain, who claimed to be non-partisan, using their uneasiness that most Penangites will now be boycotting Nasi Kandar one more round???
It is very Sad that the legacy of Malaysian Independence is reduced by this Moronic Flip Flop Coward into great disrepute and a laughing stock of the whole world and knowing very well that the UMNO Government has technically collapsed and they have lost locus standi to govern but yet he has decided to shamelessly still cling on to power via dubious means like hiding himself via using of the ISA and we cannot imagine that the Malaysia Moronic Flip Flop Coward has now stoop so low and using the Police Deputy IGP as his willing tools especially the Deputy IGP’s clearly taking side as the Police must be neutral and should be not politiking for him. Now the Police and AG had stoop even lower with the tampering of Evidences against RPK and it is the shame to the Malaysian Justice with such behaviors from the Police who are sworn to uphold the Law and Order but committed criminal activities at the direction of the UMNO Clown Botak Home Minister to Protect Nargis the PeeM in waiting.
The Coward Moronic Flip Flop Chicken dare not meet DSAI face to face to settle matters but chose hiding under the use of ISA and that is what you have as a disgraceful cowardice leader for UMNO.
After 51 years MALAYSIA IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE but backwards because of the Oppression from the UMNO goons’ divide and rule fear tactics the Rakyats have matured & you must see all this coming because All The Rakyats of Malaysia are all fed-up & can no longer with-stand the hypocrisies, bullshits, lies and deceits of these UMNO Clowns now in Power ok??? What Oil Subsidies IS nothing but a hoax that the UMNO Government MAKE BELIEF THAT THERE IS AN OIL PRICE SUBSIDY TO THE PRICE OF FUEL BUT IN FACT THERE WERE NONE THIS IS BECAUSE MALAYSIA IS THE NET EXPORTER OF OIL THAT IS ONLY AFTER DEDUCTING DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION THE BALANCE IS EXPORTED TO EARN FOREIGN EXCHANGE. THESE LIARS MAKE US BELIEVE BY CONTINUOUS PROPAGANDA THAT THERE ARE OIL PRICE SUBSIDY BUT IN FACT THERE WERE NONE BECAUSE THE PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTUAL SALE LOCALLY AND THE PRICE THEY INTENDED TO SELL ABOARD IS AN OPPORTUNITY COST NOT PRICE SUBSIDY.
We urge all BN Components & MPs with a conscience to do the necessary to make possible a New Malaysia for all Rakyats of Malaysia so that all our children and their children & their children’s children’s future will be safe and secured in the Country we all love and not be intimidated by those UMNO Clowns now in power with their oppressive & fear tactics and in the verge of making Malaysia a Police State if left unchecked otherwise. Save RPK as he is the midst of a conspiracy of the real murderers of Altantuya to silence him for good, instead of being C4ed he could be poisoned and worse off if he is on hunger strike by himself. The Acting IGP is defending the Police position after being made the tools of UMNO’s fear tactics & so he is now making lame excuses for being the Stringed Puppet to be easily manipulated by the Puppeteer, power that be. The Deputy IGP must be held personally responsible for the safety of RPK who has been heard to be tortured otherwise he must be made to eat his own medicine come the New Dawn of Malaysia.
Moronic PeeM and Botak Home Minister last minutes’ attempts to cling on power by using the fear tactics of using the ISA at their whims and fancies selectively against dissent & tried to deny their own actions as they now have no balls to face the wrath of the all the Rakyats of Malaysia. ONE DAY THE MORONIC BOTAK AND FLIP FLOP AND C4 MUST BE MADE TO TASTE THEIR OWN MEDICINE OK?
All Rakyats of Malaysia will see to that these Clowns will be thrown out soon come the New Dawn of Malaysia & that all Rakyats of Malaysia will welcome the New Malaysia on Malaysia Day 916, 2008 for a Malaysia for All Malaysians.
Justice MUST BE DONE for Altantuya and for all those detained under ISA without the trial nor the rights of appeal. Light-up a Candle in the Lantern of the Mid-Autumn Festival for them all to usher in the NEW DAWN OF MALAYSIA COME 916, 2008
Whether or not there's any actual abuse
ReplyDeleteDepends largely on how it's used or misused
But we know many are not at all amused
With any unfortunate case of burnt fuse

Charles Bro!
ReplyDelete"Najib says no abuse of power"!!! Anyone from the corridors of power in Putrajaya are absolved from any laws, leave alone the "laws of God"!!! Look at RPK, a common citizen, being treated like a DOG!!!! Why? Because he is a common citizen, period! Please quote and unquote this to Najib and the rest of UMNO!!!
For now, he is in power and can say whatever he likes! When the change of Government happens, God fobit, from Mahathir downwards will flee Malaysia for Timbaktu!!!
Be patient, my friend!!!
Das
With so many accusations pointing at him and the serious implication purportely directed his way, it is logical and common sense to step down from his position.
