Gani Patail,Musa Hassan and Rodwan stole Anwar's blood sample...

Anwar Ibrahim's 1998 conviction for abuse of power was wrong as the prosecution concocted evidence and also cheated, through the actions of the then investigating officer Musa Hassan and then lead prosecutor Abdul Gani Patail.

This has been revealed in another open letter, sent to to Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar today, by former Kuala Lumpur CID chief Mat Zain Ibrahim. Mat Zain goes on to state that Musa and Gani had done all this for their joint benefit. Both had risen in ranks, with Musa becoming the inspector-general of police and Gani, the attorney-general. Musa retired recently.

"It is not wrong to say the jail term Anwar faced is an injustice to him as a result of both their (Musa's and Gani's) actions. I am basing this argument on documentary evidence and statements that I have and are within my knowledge," he writes in the letter.

"I am also saying this because there are important statements made by (former prime minister) Dr Mahathir Mohamad in chapter 53 of his memoirs Doctor in the House on the black eye incident, and the actions by the public prosecutor are different from what I have in the official case files of 1998. "I believe that Dr Mahathir was given a wrong briefing and he had been manipulated."

As a person who was directly involved in issues regarding Anwar in 1998, Mat Zain believes what he revealed in this open letter today and the others before this have not shied away from the truth.

'Blood sample was stolen'

"I have confronted and interacted with the main players in this matter, including Dr Mahathir, Gani, Musa, and Anwar, besides the commissioners in the Royal Commission of Inquiry in the black eye incident," he says.

Mat Zain explained how Musa and former Malacca police chief Mohd Rodwan Yusof (left) had in 1998 "stolen" Anwar's blood sample from Hospital Kuala Lumpur doctor Dr Zahari Noor following the Oct 15, 1998, black eye incident.

"Dr Zahari had also testified to that effect in Anwar's abuse of power trial before the late Justice Augustine Paul on Dec 30, 1998," he said. "Musa still owes a public explanation as to what he had briefed Dr Mahathir on, resulting in the then prime minister believing Anwar was involved in unnatural sex and non-matrimonial sex. Musa was pressed (or pressured) to gather DNA evidence, resulting in him stealing the blood sample.

"At that time, Anwar had already been charged in court and was awaiting his trial. By right, the process of gathering the initial evidence should have been completed," Mat Zain writes. Mat Zain also said Mahathir had no role in the fabrication of evidence as this was done by Musa and Gani. "Mahathir had advised, and warned, in my meeting with him at the Prime Minister's Department on Oct 8, 1998, to brief him on the police investigations (regarding the black-eye incident).

"He warned that there should be no cover-up. I noted that in my diary and I extended the advice and directive to other senior police officers that same day, and also to Gani two days later.

"Hence, based on the evidence before me, I would like to state and stress that Gani and Musa had cheated and fabricated evidence on Anwar for their own benefit, unless they can both prove the involvement of a third party," he says in the letter. Mat Zain also wants Musa to explain whether his action of "stealing" Anwar's blood sample was within the law and sanctioned by Mahathir or whether he (Musa) had done it on his own initiative to justify the case in the briefing he had with the former premier.

He explains that the fact that Musa went to meet Zahari, the HKL doctor, on Anwar's blood sample for DNA testing on Oct 10, 1998, was sufficient for the people to conclude that the senior investigating officer did not have complete evidence when he briefed Mahathir during that time.


'Najib knows about abuses by Gani and Musa'

Mat Zain also states the "theft" of Anwar's blood sample for DNA testing by Musa and Rodwan was done on Oct 15, 1998. The two also fabricated the forensic evidence gathered by Dr Abdul Rahman Yusof on Oct 26, 1998, to produce three other medical reports to show that Anwar "injured himself" (in the 'black eye' incident).

Both episodes, he said, were carried out under the orders and supervision of Gani before the start of Anwar's abuse of power trial, which began on Nov 11, 1998.

The former senior police officer said he has also received information that two persons met with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to suggest that action be taken against Gani and Musa. This, he said, was because their "crimes" were affecting the country and had also diminished the trust of the people in government institutions.

"However Najib is seen as not prepared to take action against them and he (Najib) is the only person who knows why. Maybe he is waiting for the right time," Mat Zain adds in the letter.

Selain daripada diri saya sendiri, saya mendapat maklum terdapat sekurang-kurangnya dua lagi pihak yang pernah menemui Perdana Menteri, YAB Dato Seri Mohd. Najib Tun Razak (PM Najib), bertujuan menyarankan supaya sesuatu tindakan diambil terhadap Gani Patail dan Musa Hassan.

Ini memandangkan salahlaku jenayah yang telah mereka lakukan, adalah sangat ketara dan telah membebankan Negara, selain daripada memusnahkan kepercayaan Rakyat terhadap Institusi-Institusi Kerajaan....
