Najib, Rosmah cannot give material evidence...

The Kuala Lumpur High Court is to hear applications today by premier Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor against being called as defence witnesses in the Sodomy II trial.

Lawyers representing Najib and Rosmah, led by Ghazi Ishak, Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, Salehuddin Saidin and M Athimulan will submit before Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah. This is expected to take an hour.

Anwar Ibrahim's lead counsel Karpal Singh and the prosecution team led by Solicitor-General II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden will then make their arguments. Lawyers for Najib and Rosmah will be allowed to reply.

It is not known whether a ruling will be made today. However, Justice Zabidin has at times ruled immediately on an application.

Najib and Rosmah, in separate affidavits, have denied involvement in any conspiracy to frame the charge against Anwar. They have therefore claimed that their presence and testimony will be of little use to the court.

Anwar, however, has said they are required to assist in the case because Najib's former aide had taken complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan to meet Najib who was then the deputy premier. Rosmah, meanwhile, had met Saiful's friend Rahimi Osman.

2.49pm: Court in session with Justice Zabidin presiding.

2.50pm: After introductions is done by Ghazi Ishak, Hisyam Teh Poh Teik submits.

2.51pm: Hisyam says the main ground for Najib and Rosmah's applications is that both cannot give material evidence in the trial.

2.53pm: Hisyam concedes that Anwar has a right to ask for the subpoenae, but those issued teh subpoenae also have the right to set it aside.

2.55pm: Hisyam, who is also the solicitor for Najib and Rosmah, says the court has inherent jurisdiction to set-aside a subpoenae if there is a basis for that.

It is an abuse of court process and the persons (subpoenaed) are unable to give further evidence.

2.57pm: He cites various principles and court cases.

"Anwar must prove that Najib and Rosmah is relevant and material."

"The onus is on them (Anwar's defence team) to show they are relevant."

3pm: Hisyam says the onus is on the party who issued the subpoenae to show that the evidence is not only relevant but material.

3.02pm: Hisyam says it will rely on Section 136 of the Evidence Act, that the court has the power to question the relevance of the witnesses being called.

3.06pm: Hisyam says where the subpoenae is oppressive, it is the duty of the court to strike out the application.

3.09pm: Hisyam says the purpose of his clients being subpoenaed is not for justice.

3.10pm: Hisyam cites Najib's affidavit to argue that the premier made the application because he cannot give any relevant evidence to the case.

3.12pm: Hisyam says that Najib said the incident happened two days after the alleged sodomy incident.

"What was related is the incident before June 26, 2008. Hence, I cannot assist the first respondent (Anwar) as I do not know and was not informed of the said sodomy incident on June 26."

3.14pm: Hisyam says Najib also denies that he gave orders or had conspired with others to make up the evidence resulting in Anwar being accused.

3.16pm: Hisyam cites Anwar's affidavit-in-reply where the defendant claimed Khairil Annas, Najib's former aide, had arranged a meeting with Saiful.

"Anwar said Najib claimed his meeting was to hear Saiful get a scholarship."

"However, we would like to argue that the meeting on June 24 has no nexus to the incident on June 26, 2008."

Hisyam says that Anwar's application to seek clarification is to fish for information.

3.21pm: Hisyam recounts that the previous incidences (of alleged sodomy) were expunged by the court, and quotes Anwar's lawyer CV Prabhakaran.

3.26pm: Hisyam says Najib and Rosmah do not have any relevance or materials to assist the court. "The court should ensure that material witnesses are called."

3.30pm: The lawyer claims that the purpose for Najib's subpoenae is to interview the witness.

"This cannot be the reason."

3.32pm: Hisyam focuses on Rosmah's application, wherein Anwar is cited as saying her meeting with Rahimi Osman is relevant.

"Our reply to this - the first respondent had not shown any nexus or connection in the meeting between Rosmah and Rahimi and the charge on June 26, 2008."

"Rahimi was not called as a defence witness. The 112 Statement taken from Rosmah does not make her a material witness," submits the lawyer from Johor.

Hisyam says this is not the test of law. The test of law is relevancy and (whether it is) material to the charge.

"They have not shown any nexus to call my clients. This is an abuse of the court process."

3.38pm: Karpal is replying.

He describes Hisyam's submission as a lot of thunder, but amounts to nothing.

Karpal says the right of the party to the attendance of a witness is a crucial part in the trial.

"No minister can come to court to deny they are not relevant."

3.42pm: Karpal says what was related by Saiful was before June 26, 2008.

"The subpoenae was to seek an explanation on the meeting on June 24, 2008, following an arranged interview by Najib's former aide Khairil Annas."

3.43pm: Karpal says the premier must have discussed other matters within the half-hour or one hour during the meeting.

3.44pm: Karpal says it is mind boggling that Saiful did not report the incidents of alleged sodomy to the police but chose to meet Najib.

"His (Najib) assistance was sought. His evidence would be material as being a devout Muslim when he went to Permatang Pauh in August 2008, he denied anything to do with the death of (Mongolian national) Altantuya (Shaariibuu)."

3.47pm: Karpal says that there was a meeting between Rosmah and Rahimi would be material in the defence of Anwar.

3.48pm: Karpal cites DSP Jude Blacious Pereira as having said he had taken a statement from Rosmah.

"This was not denied by Rosmah."

3.51pm: Karpal says the 112 statement is a privileged document with no access.

"Hence, Rosmah should come. Under these circumstances, Rosmah should come to court as this is the only remedy left to Anwar."

3.53pm: Karpal says there is no other remedy for Anwar, and Rosmah is bound to assist the court.

"We pray your lordship dismisses the application made by Najib and his wife."

He says the prime minister had brought in other evidence of alleged sodomy, and that took place within a meeting of one hour.

3.55pm: Yusof now submits, saying he supports Najib and Rosmah"s application.

Karpal interrupts asking whether the prosecution has submitted any affidavit. Yusof says no.

3.56pm: Yusof says relevant and material evidence are those which can assist the court.

4pm: Yusof says Anwar must show evidence that would influence the court.

"... the respondent had failed to do so."

4.01pm: Yusof says if Anwar shows evidence of alibi, that is relevant.

"With regards to the meeting with Rahimi, there is no date mentioned there."

"At the end of the day, we are left guessing what transpired on the meeting two days before the incident."

4.05pm: Yusof submits that the application should have their application allowed.

4.05pm: Hisyam replies. He submits that Anwar is involved in a fishing expedition.

"Whatever was discussed before June 26 has nothing to do with the charge. There is no nexus."

4.07pm: Hisyam says the rightful witnesses to be called are the alibi witnesses.

"They are the ones whom should be called. Not the premier and Rosmah."

4.08pm: Justice Zabidin says he will deliver the decision on the application on Thursday.

Tomorrow chemist Lim Kong Boon will be in attendance. Trial will start at 9am. Court adjourns.

Why the delay of Altantuya Shaariibuu suit...

No progress has been made into hearing the civil suit against the government and those responsible for the death of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006.

Lawyer Karpal Singh said hearing of the suit filed by her father Setev on June 4, 2007 has been delayed as the two police personnel convicted of the murder have filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal.

The judge, according to Karpal, has yet to submit a written judgment.

"I can't see why the judge (cannot) finish writing his grounds ... It has been two years already," he noted.

"I have raised the issue in Parliament but just received a written reply, which is pointless."

Karpal said a lengthy delay in providing written judgments could pose a problem as the accused could then file an appeal in court.

"They can complain of prejudice - and whether the judge can remember what he heard during the case ... and is this why he is delaying his judgment.

“If they can show prejudice, then the court will reconsider their case. I had a case once where, eventually, a higher charge was substituted with a lower one.”

Karpal said he has written many times to the court for case management of the suit, but has yet to receive a response.

He plans to raise the matter again during the current sitting of Parliament, which begins today.

"The family has been writing to ask when the case will be heard but I continue to tell them that it will take time, as even the appeal case of the two (police personnel Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar) has not been settled yet," he added.

Should the two receive a ruling unfavourable to them, they could still take the matter up to the Federal Court, thus further delaying the hearing of the civil suit.

Setev and his wife Altantsetseg Sanjaa, are now the guardians of her children, one of whom suffers from a medical disorder.

They are suing the defendants for RM100 million for physical and mental anguish.

As executors of Altantuya's estate and on behalf of her dependents, they are also seeking special, aggravated and punitive damages.

Will Najib and Rosmah appear in court...

Premier Najib Abdul Razak and wife Rosmah Mansor's applications to set aside the subpoenas served on them in the Anwar Ibrahim sodomy trial will be heard tomorrow as the trial resumes this week.

The trial is scheduled to continue for the whole week and the duo have been called to take the stand as defence witnesses.

It is learnt that after Anwar had filed an affidavit in reply to their application on Wednesday, Najib had filed in his reply before the end of last week. Rosmah, was believed not to have responded.

Anwar had provided separate affidavits in replies to Najib and to Rosmah's applications and affidavits, stating why they should be called to court to clarify several matters.

The PKR de-facto leader who is facing the second sodomy charge since 1998, claimed that more may have transpired in the discussion between Najib and complainant, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, than what has been made known.

"Najib had initially denied meeting Saiful and then he retracted, saying Saiful had asked for a scholarship. Following this, the lawyers want to get a further explanation of this," said Anwar in his affidavit, adding that both Najib and Rosmah refused to answer his lawyer's questions when they came in for the interview.

Although the contents of Najib's reply remains unknown, its believed its contents to be merely asserting that the premier had nothing of material worth to the case, that would warrant him testifying.

It is not immediately known whether Anwar will reply to the latest affidavit by Najib.

The hearing of the application is fixed for tomorrow afternoon at 2.15pm.

Anwar has asserted that Najib and Rosmah were offered by the prosecution as witnesses, meaning the police had recorded their statements regarding the case.

As it is not known what was recorded from the two, the subpoenas served on them were to fill in the blanks as both had denied involvement in any conspiracy with regards to the latest sodomy charge against Anwar.

In Sodomy I in 1998, A subpoena was issued by the defence on former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad Mahathir who was not offered as a witness by the prosecution. However it was set aside.

Nearing end?

As Parliament session also begins tomorrow it remains to be seen whether the hearing of Anwar's defence could end this week. There are about four or five witnesses slated to testify besides Najib and Rosmah.

Besides the two, others called to testify as defence witnesses included former Inspector General of Police Musa Hassan , former Malacca police chief Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof who was then Najib's aide de camp in 2008, and Chemistry Department director-general Lim Kong Boon.

All three witnesses had played their part in sodomy I as Musa was the investigating officer and Rodwan had assisted Musa. Lim was the chemist who testified in the trial but his evidence was rejected by the court.

Another witness, a Dutchman Dr Thomas Hoogland, who operated on Anwar upon his release from prison in 2004, at his clinic in Munich, Germany, is also slated to testify for the defence on Thursday.

Hoogland's testimony is fixed on Oct 6, as the prosecution will bring in their experts to observe it on that day. The defence also indicated there could be another witness.

Anwar is charged with sodomising Saiful at the Desa Damansara condominium between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.

Chua Sooi Lek: I will win everywhere...

MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek brushed aside his predecessor's claim that he should not contest in the next general election because of his sex DVD scandal.

He was responding on Ong Tee Keat's claim that the issue made him an unwinnable candidate.

"I consider myself a winnable candidate anywhere I go," Chua told a press conference at the sidelines of the MCA 58th annual general assembly today.

Over the past few days, The Malaysian Insider had carried a series of reports quoting Ong lambasting MCA as being "irrelevant" and condemning Chua's leadership.

Ong and Chua were locked in a bitter leadership struggle last year, resulting in the former being ousted after just 17 months as party president.

On the topic of the next general election, Chua also criticised Ong for making disparaging remarks about the party, just when the latter was preparing to defend his Pandan parliamentary seat.

"If Ong has no faith in MCA, why are you so insistent that by hook or crook you want to stand as an MCA candidate under the BN banner?" asked Chua.

Previously, Ong had said he would recontest in the Pandan parliamentary constituency come general election, with or without the endorsement of MCA.

Chua was formerly the Labis MP before the sex DVD scandal broke in early 2008, resulting in him quitting his post as health minister and MCA vice-presidency. The Labis seat is currently held by his son and he is speculated to be contesting either in Johor or Perak, where he is the state MCA chairperson.

Later on, MCA president Chua Soi Lek said that his predecessor Ong Tee Keat should resign if he no longer believes in the party.

"If you have any integrity (and) you have no faith in the party (then) you should resign," he said at a press conference after chairing the 58th MCA annual general assembly meeting at the party headquarters."

But the MCA chief later denied that he was asking Ong to resign from the party or as a parliamentarian.

Q: Do you mean resign from the party?

Chua: No... Resign and resign from the party is different.

Q: You want him to resign as a parliamentarian?

Chua: No, I'm not asking him to resign as a parlimentarian.

Chua later left the contradiction of his words to his predecessor's "wisdom", stating that if Ong had no confidence in the party, he should not serve under the name of the party.

"So I make a statement which forms the premise, how he forms the conclusion is up to him."

Chua was responding to the former MCA president's recent statement that the party has become "irrelevant".

Ngeh: Zaki's admission voids Perak MB vs MB trial

The Federal Court rulings on cases involving the Perak constitutional crisis should be considered void because of former Chief Justice Zaki Azmi's admission that he had no part in forming the panel which heard them, said Perak DAP.

Perak DAP chairperson Ngeh Khoo Ham said that Zaki's admission that he did not empanel the five-member panel which heard Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin's case was wrong in law.

Citing Malaysian Bar vs Tan Sri Dato Abdul Hamid bin Omar [1989] 2 MLJ page 281, he said that the Supreme Court had in 1989 ruled that a Federal Court panel can only be empaneled by the chief justice.

"By virtue of this Supreme Court decision, the highest court in the land, empaneling a Federal Court bench by any other person is not allowed.

"Therefore the Federal Court decisions in regard to the Perak crisis cases are void," Ngeh told Malaysiakini.

Only CJ can constitute panel

In 1989, the case of the Malaysian Bar against former Lord President Abdul Hamid Omar, the Federal Court had ruled that only the lord president alone is entitled to convene and empanel judges to constitute the Supreme Court for any sitting.

"The powers of the lord president or any person acting as lord president under Section 38 and 39 of the (Courts of Judicature Act) are express statutory powers which cannot be exercised by others unless properly exercised under s 9(1) of the Act during illness or absence from Malaysia or owing to any other cause when the lord president is unable to exercise the functions of his office.

"We read the words 'any other cause' in s 9(1) to relate to physical inability in the sense that the lord president is unable to perform his functions," read the judgment.

In an interview with Malaysiakini on Sept 12, Zaki had said he had instructed his deputy, Court of Appeal president Alauddin Md Sheriff, to handle the Perak crisis related cases when it came up to the Federal Court.

Zaki said that he did not want to be involved in the cases as he did not wanted to be accused of conflict of interest as he had once been heavily involved with Umno.

"I did not sit on any cases which were not only political, but had a flavour of politics. I did not even constitute the panel. I told my Number Two: 'You go to constitute (form) the panel. I don't want'," said Zaki.

'New CJ must right wrongs'

Ngeh(right), who is a senior lawyer, argued that since the decisions of the Federal Court were now void, it was incumbent upon the current Chief Justice Ariffin Zakaria to constitute a new panel to hear Nizar's case.

"Since the Perak cases have not been disposed off, we call upon the present chief justice, to convene a new panel, to review the decisions that have been made by the earlier unlawfully convened Federal Court hearing," he said.

In the same vein, Ngeh said Zaki's revelation in the same interview that a court registrar had arranged for a single Court of Appeal judge to hear Zambry Abdul Kadir's application on May 12, 2009 had also raised questions.

"How can a registrar have the powers to call on a Court of Appeal judge to hear a case?" said Ngeh, explaining that such powers lie with the Court of Appeal president.

On May 11, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled in favour of Nizar's application to be declared the legitimate Perak menteri besar.

But in less than a day, Zambry managed to obtained a stay of execution order from the Court of Appeal. His application was heard by a single judge - Justice Ramly Ali - despite there being two three-member panels hearing cases that day.

This fact, along with the swiftness in which the stay was granted, has led Nizar and his counsel to question the court's integrity.

RM150,000 offer for DAP Adun to jump ship...

Bentayan state assemblyperson Gwee Tiong Hiang today revealed that an offer had been made by parties claiming to be representing the prime minister to leave DAP and declare himself an independent representative.

At a press conference at the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Gwee said he was offered RM150,000 in cash, 50 acres of land, at least RM5,000 extra in monthly allowance, a service centre and a private assistant if he agrees to defect.

He added that a man, Wee Pao Chin, who first contacted him via telephone on Sept 26, claiming to be the secretary-general of the Johor Baru Wee clan association, also guaranteed that Gwee, will be given support if he contests in the next general election against the DAP.

Gwee furnished a transcript of a recording of another phone conversation which he had with Wee four days after the initial contact. He said the 'agent', who claimed to be representing the PM, said the money offered will come from the federal coffers, but funneled through the clan association.

The recording of the Sept 30 conversation in Mandarin was also played during the press conference.

Gwee said the 'agent', who along with a Malay man whom Gwee claimed to be representing the Prime Minister's Department, met with the Johor assemblyperson on Sept 28 to first offer RM50,000 and 50 acres of land.

"The man said he feels sorry for me; that we share the same surname and that he wants to help me because my party does not want me anymore...

"But I feel I am still a DAP (assemblyperson). This BN offer was not right, I have to expose it. I can tell the BN that not every (assemblyperson) or MP of the DAP can be bought over. I love the party. My party is only the DAP," said Gwee, who broke into tears.

Meeting set up with Najib

Gwee claimed that the 'agent' also promised to set up a meeting with PM Najib Razak on Oct 3. Gwee, who reported the matter to the DAP central executive committee on Sept 29, said he will lodge a police report later today in Muar.

He will also file a report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in nearby Batu Pahat next week. Muar, where the Bentayan state constituency is located, does not have an MACC office.

The assemblyperson was on Sept 24 suspended for six months by the party for improprieties relating to party funding, although party discplinary committee chairperson Tan Kok Wai, who sat beside Gwee at the press conference, said the funds were purportedly used for a good cause.

According to Gwee, the agent, who claimed to also work for Felda Plantations, had called him six times including yesterday,and the two spoke on the phone for one hour and 10 minutes.

The Bentayan assemblyperson said Wee also assured him that they will restore his image after the defection by solving issues pertaining to local councils and land matter in the constituency.

In addition, there will be interviews with BN-controlled TV3 and other media so that Gwee's name will not be dragged through the mud like what happened to former DAP Jelapang assemblyperson Hee Yit Foong.

Through their phone conversations, it was gleaned that Wee had "in depth" knowledge of the Bentayan constituency, and was able to correctly cite the winning chances of each polling district.

Also present today was publicity chief Tony Pua, who demanded a response from the Prime Minister's Department to the damning claim.

"We want the PM's Department to declare if they are involved in this exercise.

"If not, we call upon relevant departments to take all necessary action against these individuals who have approached the Bentayan (assemblyperson), for impersonating or making false representation in the attempt to entice (Gwee to defect)," Pua said.

The Petaling Jaya Utara MP added that should the PM's Department stay mum on the issue, it will only serve to show the department's "complicity in the exercise".

Asked if the party will review Gwee's suspension in light of the fact that he had reported the matter to the party, Tan said this matter could only be decided by the CEC (central executive committee), which will convene a meeting on Oct 7.

Also suspended for six months by the party on Sept 24 was Kota Alam Shah assemblyman M Manoharan, for suggesting that the Jalur Gemilang be replaced.

Agent denies all claims

When contacted by Malaysiakini, Wee said there was "no such thing" before quickly terminating the telephone call.

Below are excerpts of the telephone conversation on Sept 30, based on the English translation of the transcript provided by DAP:

Agent: I am calling to ask you to prepare your curriculum vitae, and I will coordinate with Kuala Lumpur in the next two days.

Gwee: Who are you coordinating with on the KL side?

Agent: I contact the PM direct. His relatives include the one we met the other day (in Muar on Sept 28).

Gwee: What is the name of the Malay (man) we met the other day?

Agent: His real name is Rahim. He is like me, we are political volunteers, except he gets a salary...

Gwee: Then who do you represent?

Agent: My job is to help out the PM as a Chinese coordinator. When there are political and economic crisis, they will ask me to handle it. Johor is for me to deal with... After much coordination, and after talking to all parties concerned, apart from your current state assemblyperson allowance, once you become independent, you will be given a fully-funded special assistant, plus a salary for you (of) more than RM5,000 as your allowance to do other work...

Gwee: How can you prove that there will really be those extra allowances?

Agent: Trust me. I will see you on Sunday morning, and in the afternoon we will go to KL, spend one night there, go to Putrajaya on Monday where you will meet our big boss (who is not Najib).

Gwee: What is the name of your boss?

Agent: I will tell you when I see you. (...)

Gwee: How can you prove that you are really representing Najib?

Agent: I won't say it so directly as I don't want it to become an issue. I am now contacting you as a fellow clan man. I am also an important person... When I see you, I will let you talk to him over the phone, okay?... We'll give you another chance come next election, and if all goes well, you will be the assemblyperson for another term. There will be people helping you on your constituency matters, people such as myself and other political volunteers, to deal with public's complain and to apply for allocations...

Gwee: Where does the allocation from from?

Agent: Apart from the menteri besar, it will also come from the PM's Department...

Gwee: How much is the allocation?

Agent: RM150,000 for your expenses, not considered part of your allocation but for you to deal with your office... RM150,000 in cash. I'll sort it out for you, don't worry... (The) allocation from the federal (government) will be more - this RM150,000 does not include the allocation you ask for, but as your two years' expenses need, you can do whatever you like with it - there's is no need to be accountable for it, no need for records...

(...) We will go to Putrajaya, arrange (a meeting) with the PM... When you see the PM in Putrajaya, you sit with him and he will announce that you have become independent, and after that you can use all the resources, understand?

(...) Once we come back, we will arrange for a press conference for you in Muar, you then list our your vision... and explain why you want to become independent...

Gwee: How to ensure that once I become independent, my windscreen won't be smashed or that my house won't be splashed with paint?

Agent: We have arranged everything, you won't notice (any change)! Now there are Special Branch officers around your house, I have met them. The SB is my good friend... His name is Nazad, from the JB office... We will protect you ,your children, and we can arrange for a personal bodyguard for you...

Guan Eng dah mohon maaf,UMNO bila lagi...

Saya ingin mengucapkan sekalung tahniah kepada Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Lim Guan Eng kerana bertindak untuk memohon ampun kepada Sultan Johor kerana isu kenyataan beliau di Singapura baru-baru ini.

Kenyataan beliau itu telah di isukan sebagai kenyataan yang memburuk-burukan negeri Johor serta Sultan yang menaungi negeri itu.

Guan Eng telah memohon ampun dan maaf kepada Raja yang menaungi rakyat dan negeri Johor. Beliau memohon ampun jika kenyataan yang belum tentu kesahihannya itu menyinggung perasaan kebawah Duli Tuanku Johor.

Tindakan Guan Eng ini melambangkan sifat gentleman beliau dan memahami yang negara kita mempunyai Raja-Raja Melayu yang rakyat patut menzahirkan ketaat setiaan kepada Raja-Raja Melayu sentiasa.

Tindakan memohon ampun ini adalah satu sifat kepimpinan yang tinggi dan merendah diri yang ada kepada pemimpin muda ini.

Jika UMNO benar-benar parti yang melindungi orang Melayu dan Raja-Rajanya maka parti itu tidak sepatutnya teragak-agak untuk memohon maaf di atas sikap kurang ajar serta merendah-rendahkan mertabat Raja-Raja Melayu pada tahun 1993 dahulu.

UMNO sepatutnya mengikut langkah DAP dengan memohon ampun jika melakukan tindakan yang sangat mendhaifkan yang UMNO lakukan semasa krisis perlembagaan itu.



Guan Eng tidak menunggu lama untuk memohon ampun walau pun beliau belum mendapati rakaman ucapan beliau di Singapura dalam ‘private function’ di Singapura itu.

Yang penting bagi Guan Eng ialah beliau tidak mahu melihat Tuanku Sultan merasa tersinggung kerana pentingnya institusi itu dihormati dan disanjungi.
