Mahathir tumpang campurtangan siasatan polis dalam skandal seks Anwar...

Perdana Menteri Malaysia paling lama berkhidmat, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad mengakui dalam memoirnya beliau mencampuri urusan penyiasatan pihak berkuasa dalam skandal seks yang dikaitkan dengan bekas timbalannya, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, dakwa seorang bekas pegawai polis hari ini.

Melalui surat terbukanya, bekas Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah (KJSJ) Kuala Lumpur Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim mempersoalkan keputusan Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein untuk mengelak daripada pertelagahan antara dua bekas pegawai tinggi polis — Tan Sri Musa Hassan dan Datuk Ramli Yusuff — yang dilihat akan mewujudkan kebimbangan rakyat dinegara ini terhadap pasukan polis.

“Jika didedahkan bahawa Tun Mahathir sendiri sama ada secara sengaja atau tidak, telah membuat pengakuan secara bertulis, bahawa memang benar beliau telah campur tangan dalam penyiasatan polis berkaitan “Buku 50 Dalil”, apakah pula respon Hishammuddin atau Perdana Menteri?” kata Mat Zin dalam surat terbukanya yang turut diberikan kepada Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Ismail Omar, Hishammuddin dan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

“Diharapkan Hishammuddin tidak akan menyatakan pula, bahawa perkara itu adalah urusan peribadi antara Tun Mahathir dan Musa Hassan dan beliau enggan campurtangan juga,” tambahnya.

Jelas pegawai polis yang telah bersara itu, kenyataan-kenyataan Dr Mahathir dalam memoirs beliau, “A Doctor in the House” dan terjemahannya dalam “Doktor Umum” yang menjelaskan peranan beliau ketika penyiasatan polis berkaitan “Buku 50 Dalil Mengapa Anwar Tidak Boleh jadi Perdana Menteri” sedang berjalan,adalah bukti jelas bahawa bukan sahaja beliau campur tangan dalam penyiasatan skandal seks timbalannya dengan beberapa lelaki dan wanita, termasuk pelacur.

“Tun Mahathir sendiri yang mendedahkan seolah beliau mempunyai kawalan keatas penyiasatan kes tersebut dan keatas saksi-saksi terlibat. Beliau dengan yakin memberi jaminan akan mengarahkan polis untuk membawa saksi-saksi tersebut ke-Sri Perdana sekali lagi, sekiranya Ketua Menteri dan Menteri Besar serta Pengerusi Perhubungan UMNO Negeri ingin menemuduga mereka pula.

Perdana menteri keempat itu menulis beliau pertama kali diberitahu tentang dakwaan homoseksual Anwar pada awal 1990an, oleh ketua polis ketika itu, Tun Hanif Omar.

Dr Mahathir, yang memerintah sejak 1981 hingga 2003 berkata beliau diberikan buku”50 Dalil Kenapa Anwar IBrahim Tidak Boleh Jadi Perdana Menteri, namun kemudiannya menolak perkara itu sebagai sensationalis untuk mendapatkan wang.

Katanya, pada 1997, Ummi Hafilda Ali, adik kepada Timbalan Presiden PKR, Azmin Ali, telah menghantar surat dengan dakwaan tepat kes liwat Anwar.

Bekas perdana menteri itu juga turut berkata, beliau telah menemubual gadis yang dikatakan di bawa untuk melakukan seks dengan timbalannya, yang kemudiannya didakwa dan dipenjarakan atas kesalahan liwat dan rasuah.

Dr Mahathir menulis mereka dipujuk untuk melakukan sedemikian oleh seorang lelaki India yang dikenali sebagai Nalla, dipercayai Datuk K.S. Nallakarupan, yang merupakan rakan karib Anwar.

Dr Mahathir kemudian berkata beliau memanggil pemimpin Umno termasuk menteri besar dan ketua menteri ke Sri Perdana untuk memberi penerangan terhadap dakwaan skandal Anwar dan menunjukkan mereka bukti gambar dam saksi.

Jelas Mat Zin, Dr Mahathir sendiri yang mendedahkan seolah “beliau mempunyai kawalan keatas penyiasatan kes tersebut dan keatas saksi-saksi terlibat, malah turut memberikan arahan yang tidak sepatutnya kepada Musa Hassan, sehingga ia dipercayai mempengaruhi keseluruhan penyiasatan.”

Beliau berkata bekas IGP Musa seharusnya “membantah dan menghalang Tun Mahathir memberikan akses kepada saksi dan pelacur ... kerana Tun Mahathir mempunyai kepentingan peribadi daripada hasil penyiasatan buku 50 Dalil, dan sebagai Presiden Umno, menteri dalam negeri, dan kemudiannya perdana menteri.

Anwar kemudiannya didapati bersalah melakukan rasuah pada 1999 dan liwat tahun berikutnya.
Beliau kemudiannya dipenjara enam tahun sebelum Mahkamah Persekutuan menukar pendakwaan kepada liwat.

Empat tahun kemudian, beliau mengetuai pakatan pembangkang memperolehi kemenangan ketika pilihan raya umum 2008, menafikan dua pertiga Barisan Nasional (BN) dan merampas lima negeri.

Anwar yang kemudiannya didakwa kali kedua untuk kes liwat dalam karier politiknya awal tahun ini, hampir tiga tahun selepas pembantunya Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan mendakwa menjadi mangsa ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh itu.

Mat Zain, merupakan pegawai penyiasat ketika insidem “mata lebam” Anwar ketika Liwat I, sering memperkatakan wujudnya campurtangan daripada badan eksekutif tanah air kerajaan dalam operasi pihak polis, termasuk IGP, dan Peguam Negara. — AFP/Relaxnews - malaysian insider.

 

Dr M interfered in police probe on Anwar sex scandal, alleges ex-cop...

Malaysia’s longest-serving prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, had admitted in his memoirs to interfering in police investigations into the alleged sexual dalliances linked to his one-time deputy, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, a former senior policeman said today.

In his open letter, ex-Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim questioned Home Minister Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein’s decision to keep out of an ongoing spat between two former senior crime busters — Tan Sri Musa Hassan and Datuk Ramli Yusuff — which is seen to be jeopardising public confidence in the police force.

“If exposed that Tun Mahathir (picture) himself had deliberately or otherwise admitted in writing that it was true he had interfered in police investigations related to the ‘50 Dalil’ [50 Reasons] book, what would be the response from Hishammuddin or the prime minister?” 

Mat Zain said in his letter to incumbent Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar, which was also copied to Hishammuddin and PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

“It is hoped Hishammuddin will not say that the matter was a personal matter between Tun Mahathir and Musa Hassan and he refuses to interfere too,” he added.

The retired policeman alleged that Dr Mahathir had revealed in his autobiography, “A Doctor in the House”, published last year, that he had a direct hand in police investigations related to a book titled “50 Dalil Mengapa Anwar Tidak Boleh Jadi Perdana Menteri” [50 Reasons Why Anwar Cannot Be Prime Minister] that concerned the then-deputy prime minister’s purported sexual liaisons with several men and women, including prostitutes.

“He had confidently given a guarantee that he will direct the police to bring the witnesses to Sri Perdana once again, if the chief ministers and mentris besar as well as state Umno liaison chairmen wanted to interview them.”

Malaysia’s fourth prime minister wrote that he had first been told about Anwar’s alleged homosexual activities in the early 1990s by then police chief Tun Hanif Omar.

Dr Mahathir, who ruled from 1981 to 2003, said he was then given the book “50 Dalil Kenapa Anwar IBrahim Tidak Boleh Jadi Perdana Menteri” but had initially dismissed it as a sensationalist attempt to make money.

He said in 1997 Ummi Hafilda Ali, sister of PKR deputy president Azmin Ali, sent him a letter with specific allegations of sodomy against Anwar.

The former prime minister said he interviewed the girls who told him they were taken to have sex with his then deputy, who was later charged and jailed for sodomy and corruption.

Dr Mahathir wrote that they were persuaded to do so by an Indian man they knew as Nalla, likely to be Datuk K.S. Nallakarupan, then a close associate of Anwar who has since fallen out with the opposition leader.

Dr Mahathir said he then called Umno leaders including mentris besar and chief ministers to Sri Perdana to brief them about Anwar’s alleged affairs and showed them pictures of the witnesses.

Mat Zain said today that the former prime minister’s statements in the book were “clear proof that not only did he interfere in investigations, but also gave certain orders that were not appropriate to Musa Hassan, until it is believed influenced the overall outcome of the investigations”.

He also said that former IGP Musa should have “objected to and stopped Tun Mahathir being given access to the witnesses and prostitutes... because Tun Mahathir had a personal interest in the investigation and the outcome of the investigation on the ‘50 Dalil’ book, as the then Umno president, home minister and prime minister”.

Now the parliamentary opposition leader, Anwar was found guilty of corruption in 1999 and sodomy the next year.

He was jailed for six years before the Federal Court overturned his conviction for sodomy.

Four years later, he led the opposition pact to record gains in the March 2008 general election, denying Barisan Nasional its customary two-thirds majority in Parliament and seizing five states.

Anwar was acquitted of sodomy for the second time in his political career earlier this year, nearly three years after his former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan first claimed to be the Permatang Pauh MP’s victim.

Mat Zain, who shot to prominence in 1998 as the investigating officer during Anwar’s infamous “black eye” incident in the Sodomy I case, has repeatedly hinted at political interference from the country’s executive arm of government in police operations and involving the offices of the IGP as well as the Attorney-General.- malaysian insider
