Nazri to Rafizi - "You wants to report, report lah!!! "I am rich man, I'm powerful"...; Sue me then,says Rafizi...

A transcript of press interview with Nazri Aziz (pic) has been making waves on the internet, in which the embattled minister in the Prime Minister's Department launched a personal attack on PKR stategic director Rafizi Ramli repeating the same insult thrown by his former cabinet colleague Shahrizat Abdul Jalil in the National Feedlot Corporation saga.

In the transcript published by news portal Malaysiakini, Nazri stubbornly denied any knowledge of his son Nedim Nazri's links with businessman Michael Chia, following Rafizi's revelation of documents and pictures to show that the Sabahan businessman's half-a-million ringgit Hummer was being used by Nedim.

"He wants to report, he report lah. You know, he's a clarinet player, he told me in his tweet. In Malay College [Kuala Kangsar], when he (enrolled), I was not around, but those who play the clarinet are jambu [pretty], you know. Ni jambu punya style la," said Nazri, clearly irritated by a reporter's suggestion that Rafizi might report him to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.


On Twitter, Rafizi said he had no problem with the label.

"In my lingo at school jambu = good looking/handsome. So am ok with that," remarked Rafizi, a former student of Malay College Kuala Kangsar.

"I am rich man, I'm powerful"

Earlier this year, Shahrizat, whose family members had been exposed by Rafizi for mismanagement of the government-funded NFC, labeled Rafizi the same.

"They say this person has aspirations to become UMNO Wanita Chief, so it will be appropriate for us to send our red and white uniform to him. If he wears it, he would look good as he is a 'pretty' boy," Shahrizat said, weeks before she stepped down from cabinet.

Yesterday, Rafizi (left) published evidences showing Chia's black Hummer bearing the plate number WNX9776 being driven by the thirty-something Nedim’s family bodyguard to and fro his luxury residence in Clearwater Residence, Damansara Heights and Bangsar Shopping Complex where he has a shop.

Nazri had recently defended Chia in parliament over a corruption probe following Hong Kong authorities's interception of RM40 million cash carried by Chia. Nazri claimed the money was not linked to corruption but "donation" for Sabah UMNO, and as such Chia had been cleared.

He also maintained that there was no conflict of interest over his son's involvement.

"It is between my son and Michael Chia... Anyway, if my son drives a car of Michael Chia, what has that got to do with me? What has that got to do with me? He is not a kid below 21 years old, he is an adult.

"I don't sleep with my son. I'm not gay. My son is not my wife, my son is not my lover, I don't sleep with him," he added, when a reported compared his case to Shahrizat's.

Nazri then launched a veiled attack on opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, referring to a pornographic video clip which UMNO leaders said showed Anwar at a hotel with a prostitute.

"What about (the) picture screwing (a) Chinese prostitute and all that? If (he) is not worried, why should I be worried about this? Your picture all over town, in the cyber world, f***ing this prostitute from China. He's not worried, why should I worry about this. You can quote me on this," said an irate Nazri.


Nazri's son Nedim in various situations

The de-facto Law minister said he was least worried about his political future following the latest expose.

"I'm a rich man, I'm powerful, good looking. Wealthy. So what can I do?

"I have a film star punya status here you know? Celebrity. Not local film star, but Hollywood," said Nazri.


Nazri's son Nedim was recently cleared by the police of an assault case involving him, his bodyguard and a security guard, in what was described by rights lawyer N Surendran as 'unprecedented' for a criminal case. 

Last year, it was reported that Nedim, driving his Porsche, had refused to alight to register at a condominium's guard house. His bodyguard had then punched the security guard for insisting that Nedim register like everyone else.- harakahdaily

Transcript: Why Nazri is not worried...

De facto law minister Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz said that he sees no problem with his son driving businessman Michael Chia's Hummer SUV. 

NONEHe said that if a certain opposition figure (name withheld due to legal reasons) is not worried about a leaked video purportedly depicting himself having a tryst with a foreign sex worker, then there is no reason why he should be.

The full transcript follows:

Nazri: He (Rafizi Ramli) got no locus standi.
 

Reporters: (Batu MP) Tian Chua and (Ampang MP) Zuraida (Kamaruddin) were there also.

Then bring him to Parliament lah.

We can show the stuff that they (PKR) have done.

Reporters had questioned Mohd Nazri at his office after the allegation on the Hummer was exposed by PKR leaders at the Parliament lobby today. 


Then bring him to Parliament lah.

We can show the stuff that they (PKR) have done.

I saw. If it is an offence... Ask Tian Chua to ask me... If it is an office, report to the police... If I have done any offence, report me to the MACC.

Basically they just said it is a conflict of interest.

Who asked the questions?

All three of them (Zuraida, Tian Chua and Rafizi).

No, no, in Parliament, who asked the question?

First time was Tian Chua (who raised the issue) in question-and-answer session.

Then who is the minister in-charge of... so, who give me the question?

They are saying if your son has links with Michael Chia, then you should not have stood up and defend them...

No, no, no. I'm the minister. I've got no personal interest. When he asked that question, I didn't even know what question was coming. It was (the) committee-level debate.

There was also (a) written answer if I'm not mistaken.

That (question was answered) under my name, of course, and what conflict of interest do I have? I don't have any conflict of interest. And I have no control of the MACC. I can't tell the MACC to drop cases. They are independent. So because I have no power to do that, how can I be bribed? I cannot do something which they want me to do.

And in Parliament, you must understand, answers come from the MACC, not from me. I don't even know that... when they asked about Michael Chia, the answer came from the MACC, I don't even know that Michael Chia was not arrested, but the answer came from the MACC. I don't know anything.

What about the claim that you were talking on behalf of (Hong Kong's) Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), saying that the ICAC has cleared them of the charges?

That's the answer from the MACC. You see, our system, you know what, first of all, I don't even know the questions that were going to be asked because it was not planned, it was committee-level debate. 

When I was answering, they stood up and asked me. So I'm the minister, I have to answer. The answer all came from the MACC.

Okay, all things aside, whether or not the car is registered under Michael Chia's name...

I don't know. It is between my son and Michael Chia... Anyway, if my son drives a car of Michael Chia, what has that got to do with me? What has that got to do with me? He is not a kid below 21 years old, he is an adult.

They are saying that Dato Seri Shahrizat has claimed the same thing and now it has caused her...

Yeah, that's what they are trying to do... but what have I done? I don't know.

But the thing is, you see, even though you can say that it is not your fault, nothing to do with you and all that, but when it comes out in media, you know how the public would view this kind of... it doesn't sound nice...

It doesn't bother me a bit. (laughs)

Like Shahrizat's case, she said: “I don't know anything about my husband… ”

That's husband and wife. I don't sleep with my son. I'm not gay (reporters laugh). My son is not my wife, my son is not my lover, I don't sleep with him.

What he does, he doesn't tell me. It is different from husband and wife, okay? Why are you so worried?

Not to say worried; I'm just saying that it does not sound nice in public, then the public... and people will start talking.

Let it be, let it be. You press Wikipedia, 'Nazri Aziz', what come out? All sorts of things. I'm still a minister, my friend, okay? It is not going to hurt me one bit. I'm not affected by gutter politics.

Do you know Michael Chia?

I know him also. You see, there must be this difference, okay. If I'm a High Court judge, and Michael Chia appears before me and my son drives his car, then I'm in trouble.

I'm not a judge in Michael Chia's case. I'm not even the investigator. The MACC is (the investigator) in Michael Chia's case. I'm a minister replying in Parliament.

They claimed that the ICAC has not cleared (Michael Chia), and the ICAC closed the case because they didn't get any cooperation from Malaysia, from the MACC.


No, no, it was a donation... This one, you don't ask me. You must ask the Attorney-General's Chambers, you must ask the MACC.

You know I'm not their spokesperson. I only replied what they gave me. They are independent body, I got no control over the MACC, I got no control over the AG. So how can I be influencing them? 

I can't and all those replies in Parliament, you know, are answers given by the MACC, not my personal answers.

You must understand the system. The AG and the chief commissioner of the MACC, they cannot appear in Parliament, they have got no locus standi.

You are the spokesperson?

With their consent. All my answers, anything about the MACC and AG's Chambers, all from them like people who get angry with me (when) I said secular state. That's AG.

People get angry with me because I say Pati (illegal migrants) in Sabah is not a threat. That is security council punya jawab (answer). Kalau PM jawab, PM kena marah. I'm okay, I have no problem. It's part and parcel of my job.

As de facto law minister, although just reading out answer from different agencies, do you see yourself influential because your reply carries weight... ?

I'm a very influential person. I'm a very influential man. There's no doubt about it, very important too. I'm not scared at all, I did nothing wrong. Those replies came from Parliament. I was merely doing my job, discharging my duties and responsibility.

So you won't consider suing Rafizi then?

What for? Let him be a trumpet blower. Anyway, I don't really want to answer him because he's not an MP. 

I think if Tian Chua was there only to let him (Rafizi) make a statement at (the) parliament (lobby), because he's not a member of Parliament, he cannot make a statement here, he's just a wannabe. Make sure you're an MP first, then come to talk to me.

Anyway, even in the Parliament, (during) debates... Ketua Pembangkang (Opposition Leader), that's my level. But of course, MPs ask me, they ask. But this guy, no way.

If one day, he enters Parliament as an MP, he'll bash you.

Suruh dia masuk parliament dulu la. (Tell me him to enter Parliament first). I don't want to stoop low and deal with him, okay?

But since you all come and ask, I just say lah. It's not even a mosquito bite. I'm sorry. If you all come here thinking I'll be upset, far from it.

But do you know about the Hummer?

That's between my son and Michael Chia. I know Michael Chia.

So you confirm Hummer really exists...

Kalau dia nak bagi Hummer ke, Ferrari ke, itu Michael Chia punya pasal lah, bukan bagi dekat I (If he wants to give a Hummer, or a Ferrari, that's Michael Chia's business. He's not giving it to me). I'm the minister, not my son, okay?

So you confirm that the Hummer really exists.

Buat apa nak confirm. Gambar dah ada. You pergi tanya anak I. (Why should I confirm it? The pictures are there. You go ask my son.)

As I've said, I don't sleep with my son, okay? I'm not gay and I'm not incestuous.

Do you see a problem (with the fact) that your son (drives) Michael Chia's car?

Why is it a problem? It's between him and Michael. Go and find Michael lah. Go and find Michael.

Is there a problem?

You can ask him lah if there's a problem. I don't drive the car. Mine is WVJ 6. Everyday I come here, WVJ 6. Wealth, victory and justice. Some people say 'wisdom', I don't want (wisdom).

You prefer wealth to wisdom?

I prefer wealth. That's why I'm rich. I can afford a lot of things but certainly it's not NFC's (National Feedlot Corporation's) money.

I know you don't care about gutter politics and that this is not even a mosquito bite to you. But do you think this issue would harm BN in the election?

Why harm BN? Why BN? What about (an opposition figure's) picture screwing (a) Chinese prostitute and all that? That one don't harm... is what is happening to me worse than that? Huh? Is it worse ah? Is it worse?

If (the opposition figure) is not worried, why should I be worried about this? Your picture all over town, in the cyber world, f***ing this prostitute from China. He's not worried, why should I worry about this. You can quote me on this.

You ask me if I'm worried, on whether it will harm BN. What I'm saying is that this picture of (the opposition figure) screwing this Chinese prostitute going all over the cyberworld, he's not worried. My question is: should I be worried?

(Question inaudible, muffled by other reporters' chatter) The way you answer ...

I don't care. Why are you so worried?

I need to confirm again, you know (of) the Hummer?

No need, the pictures are there. You go ask my son. I cannot be responsible for my son. I don't screw him, I don't sleep with him. He sleeps with his wife, he's got a kid. So whatever he does, I don't know. I know Michael Chia, I'm not worried.

If the allegations really exist?

Go report police lah. Why do you (hold) a PC (press conference)? Right or not? You know anything about me, why you make PC? Publicity seeker lah, cheap publicity. Go report police lah, MACC.

If your son is really guilty...

Guilty of what?

If he really committed...

Committed what? Do you know what you are talking about? Committed what? Kiss a girl?

Conflict of interest?

Conflict of interest? But he is not a minister.

But he is related to you.

He's my son. I have no power over MACC. I have no power on AG's Chambers. How can I? And all those questions, answers, came from MACC. How can I be compromised? I cannot be compromised.

It's not my answer, it's the answer of SPRM. You must understand that. It's not my answer, all these answers are from MACC. If I said Michael Chia was not arrested, that was the answer from MACC, not me. I'm not the investigator, I didn't investigate.

If AG said, if I answer in Parliament that ICAC has already closed the case, that is the answer from AG's Chambers. Not my answer.

I see your point.

So don't worry, I'll still be around.

But you're not going to stand in elections, right?

What has this got to do with ... aiyo ... It's not connected, the question.

That's why when you see me, when someone asks (me a question in Parliament), I stand up and the I look around, because I'm waiting for the answer from the officers. It's not my answer.

Are you concerned that your son and his family are being followed?

I'm a rich man, I'm powerful, good looking. (reporters giggle) Wealthy. So what can I do? My son ask, 'Pa, is it...' I say, 'Look, you are my son.'

Will you lodge a police on your son being followed?

Why should I? It doesn't bother me. I'm popular, I have a film star punya status here you know? Celebrity. Bukan film star local, Hollywood punya (laughs).

No, but there is nothing I can do, (if) they want to follow.

And if Rafizi lodges a report with MACC?

What kind of question it that? He wants to report, he report lah. You know, he's a clarinet player, he told me in his tweet.

In Malay College (Kuala Kangsar), when he (enrolled), I was not around, but those who play the clarinet are jambu, you know. Ni jambu punya style la.- malaysiakini


 
Sue me! Rafizi dares law minister...

PKR’s Rafizi Ramli has dared Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nazri Abdul Aziz to sue him over the expose involving his son, Nedim and a Hummer supposedly given by controversial timber tycoon Michael Chia.

“If Nazri wants to take legal action, that is his right. If this is slander, then he has to take action…If what I’m saying is not right then Nazri has to take legal action immediately, like with Shahrizat,” he said, referring to former Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.

He said this after he showed video footage of Chia’s Hummer being used by Nedim’s family to reporters at the PKR headquarters.

This followed an expose the PKR strategic director made in Parliament yesterday.

The allegation was later brushed off by Nazri, who regarded Rafizi’s claim as less than a “mosquito bite”.

[Rafizi was referring to Shahrizat's purported involvement with the RM250 million National Feedlot Corporation scandal. The matter, which Rafizi exposed in the past, led the former Women's minister to sue him and Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin for RM100 million for defamation.]

PKR has argued that Chia was arrested by Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) for smuggling RM40 million, intended for Sabah Umno.

Nazri had earlier told Parliament that Chia was never arrested by the ICAC. Rafizi disputed this, claiming that a lack of cooperation from Malaysia’s authorities led the Hong Kong commission to drop the case.

Today, Rafizi showed seven different video clips of the Hummer parked at and travelling from Clearwater Residences, Damansara Heights, where Nedim is said to reside.

The clips appeared to depict the Hummer as a storage vehicle and that it moved via convoy, carrying the family’s maid and personal bodyguard.

“The family doesn’t travel in the Hummer. They travel in a Toyota Vellfire, and Nedim in a sports car,” Rafizi said, adding that a green Audi was seemingly owned by the family.

None of the videos appeared to show Nedim or any of his family members.

Rafizi added that these videos would soon be made available on the Internet via YouTube. A report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, he said, would also be lodged next week.

Take a break, Nazri told

These events led Rafizi to ask Nazri to take a “holiday” from his work as minister while the link between him and Chia was investigated.

“There is already a precedent set in Shahrizat ['s case], because what is revealed in this is not too different from her. She claimed the same, that she was not involved.

“From a gentleman to a gentleman… it would be right for Nazri to take a holiday temporarily while waiting for the investigation [to go through],” he said.

He said that it was not right for Nazri to claim that he had nothing to do with the Hummer, and that it was only between Chia and his son.

Citing the MACC Act 2009, Rafizi asked if Nedim received the car – estimated to be nearly RM500,000 – because Nazri was a minister.

Section 16(a) of the act states that anyone by himself or with help from another, who receives, agrees to receive, promises or offers when it comes to corruption is guilty of an offence.

With this, he said that Nazri’s excuse could not be accepted.

He also dared the minister, MACC and the Attorney-General’s Chambers to show proof that Chia was cleared by Hong Kong’s ICAC. This was echoed by PKR-Batu MP Tian Chua who was also present.

“Show proof that Michael Chia is free from all corruption, that the ICAC has freed Michael Chia, that he was never caught in Hong Kong,” he said.-FMT


  Follow Shahrizat in taking a 'holiday', Rafizi urges Nazri...

NONEDe facto law minister Nazri Abdul Aziz should follow former women’s minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil example of taking a “holiday” from the cabinet while he is being investigated for alleged corruption, said PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli.

“This is especially since among many Umno and BN leaders who criticised Shahrizat, the most vocal was none other than Nazri himself.


“If he was previously so concerned that the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) (scandal) would drag Umno (down) and weaken Umno’s position in the coming election, I think it is his turn now,” Rafizi (centre in photo) told a press conference at PKR’s headquarters today.

He said he will lodge a report against Nazri to initiate investigations on Monday, as well as against timber tycoon Michael Chia who had allegedly given Nazri’s son a luxury sports utility vehicle (SUV).- malaysiakini



 The politician, his son and the crony...

If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then the way to an Umno politician’s heart, is through his spouse or children. In Malaysia, cronies beat a path to the politician’s door, to provide material goods for his family members.

Only the naïve would think their acts charitable. Cronies do it for personal gain: tenders for contracts, to avoid the law, a means to fleece the public through subsidies or when government projects are ‘outsourced” like the AES (Automated Enforcement System) aka “speed traps”.

Plum jobs and multi-million dollar government contracts are reserved for the offspring of Umno politicians, their cronies and pro-Umno civil servants.

the politician

The rakyat have heard of a few of the children of ministers who are allegedly involved in cronyism and corruption, but there are many more ministerial children of whom we have heard nothing, yet.

Whose son was allegedly awarded the RM128.4 million air traffic control system contract, through a “closed tender” process? This air traffic control system was allegedly faulty and risked the lives of millions of airline users.

Whose children are allegedly hiding in New York, at least until the furore of the scandal they are involved in, dies down? Were Muslims aware that this Hari Raya Haji 3,000 cattle had to be imported from Thailand for sacrificial slaughter? 

The irony is that farmers’ needs have been sacrificed for the vanity project of an incompetent family. This money should have filtered down to the farmers, to help them earn a living, to help the economy and the cattle industry.

Whose sons are indirectly involved in the latest launch of the airline, Malindo Airways? An online newpaper alleged that one of the companies investing in Malindo, had poor financial and safety records, and that its accounts had not been audited since 2007.

Which daughter of a former top civil servant owns a major interest in alternative energy projects in Malaysia? Her companies were allegedly set up recently and despite the lack of experience, still managed to secure a controlling interest in the alternative power generation needs.

The list is endless. Children of past and present politicians and also VVIPs, monopolise the multi-million ringgit projects, providing much needed goods and services, which you and your children have no alternative but to use. You also pay through the nose, for them.

When quizzed by reporters about the involvement of their spouses, children or friends, these politicians brush prying questions aside with:
a) My husband does not tell me what he gets up to.
b) What my wife does is private.
c) I don’t know what my son (or daughter) is doing.
d) My businessman friend wanted to surprise me with the contents of his briefcase.

 
the son

No conflict of interest

Yesterday, Nazri ignored criticism of his son’s relationship with Michael Chia, the businessman who is embroiled in the RM40 million money laundering saga. Despite assertions that this money was destined for Sabah Umno, the members of Sabah Umno claim to have no knowledge of this donation.

Nazri also said that his reputation as a Cabinet Minister had not been compromised and he could see no conflict of interest in his or his son’s friendship with Chia.

An online newspaper reported that Nazri had said: “I don’t sleep with my son. I am not gay (homosexual). My son is not my wife, my son is not my lover. What he does, he doesn’t tell me.

“That is between my son and Michael Chia. If he (Chia) wants to give [Nedim] a Hummer or a Ferarri, it is Michael Chia’s business… its not like he (Chia) is giving it to me… and I am the minister, not my son.”

“What has he committed, tell me? He is not a minister. Where is the conflict of interest? He is my son”.

Cynics claim that the parliamentary ministerial code, which details the conduct expected of Malaysian MPs, can’t have been shown to Umno politicians like Nazri.

Despite being accused by the PKR strategy director, Rafizi Ramli, of having a conflict of interest, Nazri mocked reporters, “But I am still minister today, my friend. This is not going to hurt me one bit. I don’t think I am going to be affected by gutter politics”.

the crony

Last week, in Penang, a man was arrested for impersonating a member of the Kedah royal family. He and 12 others in his group, will be charged under Section 420 and 419 of the Penal Code, for cheating and dishonesty, and under Section 108 of the Road Transport Act 1987, for making false statements.

A few months ago, Nedim Nazri claimed to be a member of royalty, when a security guard at a luxury condominium in Kuala Lumpur denied entry to Nedim and his bodyguard. The guard was assaulted for doing his job, but last week the case was closed.

Who knows, the CCTV which recorded the attack on the security guard was probably pointing the wrong way, or was accidentally wiped clean? Did threats or rewards work this time? What happened to the charge for impersonating royalty?

In Malaysia, the person who is worse than the Umno crony is possibly the Umno politician’s son. He acts without restraint. He is free to do as he pleases. He is no better than a thug and he does not value your safety, nor your life. Nedim we know, has a chequered past.

In politics, the cocky politician who lacks humility, who belittles conflict of interest and who has two sets of laws, may well find his days numbered.

Nazri may mock the public now, but he may regret his actions later. If these men were to read about politics in the modern world, they would learn that sons follow their fathers’ fates, when the latter are toppled; men like Saddam, Gaddafi and Mubarak. - Mariam Mokhtar,FMT.

 

Rafizi gesa Nazri ikut jejak Shahrizat ambil 'cuti'

NONEMenteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz harus mengikut jejak bekas menteri wanita, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil yang "bercuti" daripada kabinet ketika beliau sedang disiasat berkaitan dakwaan rasuah, kata Pengarah Strategi PKR, Rafizi Ramli.

Katanya, ini kerana di kalangan pemimpin Umno dan BN yang banyak mengkritik Shahrizat, yang paling lantang adalah Nazri sendiri.

Menurut Rafizi, sekiranya Nazri yang sebelumnya begitu bimbang (skandal) National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) akan mengheret dan melemahkan kedudukan Umno dalam pilihan raya akan datang, maka "saya fikir sekarang adalah giliran beliau pula".


Bercakap dalam satu sidang akhbar di ibupejabat PKR hari ini, Rafizi berkata beliau akan membuat laporan terhadap Nazri Isnin ini supaya siasatan dapat dimulakan, juga terhadap jutawan balak, Michael Chia yang didakwa memberi kenderaan mewah (SUV) kepada anak Nazri.- malaysiakini


Skandal RM40 juta, UMNO ulang kesilapan NFC...

Pemimpin BN mengulangi kesilapan sama berdolak dalik menjawab skandal RM40 juta untuk Umno Sabah sepertimana isu National Feedlot Corporation (NFC), kata Pengarah Strategi KEADILAN, Rafizi Ramli.

“Seperti dalam kes NFC, mereka pada mula seboleh-boleh menafikan kebenaran kes itu, namun akhirnya terbongkar juga, samalah dalam isu (skandal RM40 juta) ini, kerana itu sahaja jalan yang mereka ada.

“Mereka boleh terus menafikan, tapi mereka sendiri tahu, kita ada bukti dan perkara ini akan terbongkar hari demi hari,” katanya kepada Keadilan Daily.

Beliau mengulas kenyataan Menteri Kemajuan Luar Bandar dan Wilayah, Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal kononnya isu RM40 juta disumbangkan seorang ahli perniagaan kepada Umno Sabah hanya ‘permainan pembangkang’.

KEADILAN sebelum ini membuat laporan kepada Bank Negara berhubung skandal wang RM40 juta milik Ketua Menteri Sabah, Datuk Seri Musa Aman dan menggesa perkara itu disiasat.

Pada 2008, ahli perniagaan, Michael Chia ditahan di Hong Kong bersama wang Singapura bernilai RM40 juta atas tuduhan pengubahan wang haram.

Chia kemudian memberitahu Suruhanjaya Bebas Pencegahan Rasuah Hong Kong (ICAC) bahawa wang itu untuk Musa.

Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak mengatakan wang itu adalah sumbangan politik kepada Umno Sabah, tanpa mendedahkan penyumbangnya.

Mahkamah lindungi Salleh untuk selamatkan NFC

Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, Ketua Wanita, Zuraida Kamaruddin berkata, penolakan permohonan pemberi maklumat kes NFC, Datuk Shamsul Bahrin Ismail untuk mengenepikan tuduhan ke atas beliau membuktikan mahkamah cuba melindungi Pengerusi NFC, Datuk Seri Mohammed Salleh.

Ahli Parlimen Ampang itu berkata, hakim tidak sepatutnya membuat keputusan terburu-buru untuk menolak permohonan tersebut,  sebaliknya mengambil masa untuk mengkaji kes tersebut.

Beliau juga mendesak SPRM bertindak adil dan tidak berat sebelah mahupun melindungi pihak yang sepatutnya didakwa.

“Institusi kehakiman haruslah adil untuk menegakkan keadilan, dan SPRM juga harus berani menjalankan tanggungjawab menyiasat sesebuah kes tidak mengira latar belakang seseorang walaupun kepada seorang bekas menteri sekalipun,” kata Zuraida.-keadilandaily

La ni katak tak boleh lagi melompat dalam DUN Pulau Pinang...

NONE Rang Undang-undang Enakmen Perlembagaan Negeri Pulau Pinang (Pindaan) 2012 telah dibentangkan dan diluluskan oleh Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) hari ini untuk menyekat wakil rakyat daripada melompat parti untuk keuntungan peribadi.

Enakmen tersebut disokong oleh 27 daripada 31 ADUN, dengan empat wakil rakyat Umno yang hadir enggan mengundi.

Ketua Menteri Lim Guan Eng berkata pembentangan rang undang-
undang itu adalah satu langkah "bersejarah" yang termasuk pindaan penting kepada perlembagaan negeri bagi membolehkan undang-undang berkenaan dilaksanakan.

Ini, kata Lim lagi, untuk menangani budaya "yang tidak sihat dan tidak beretika" melompat parti politik untuk keuntungan peribadi, bagi menggalakkan integriti, akauntabiliti dan untuk mengembalikan kepada rakyat kuasa untuk memilih ADUN.

Katanya, kita telah menyaksikan negara dalam keadaan huru-hara apabila kerajaan persekutuan merampas kuasa dari negeri-negeri dengan cara yang tidak demokratik, melalui (perbuatan) pengkhianatan ahli-ahli parti.

Ketika membentangkan rang undang-undang tersebut, Lim berkata, selain meninggalkan parti untuk keuntungan peribadi, mereka yang terlibat juga telah mengkhianati amanah rakyat yang memilih mereka sebagai wakil rakyat.

Lim kemudian menyebut tiga negeri di mana mandat rakyat telah tidak dihormati - di Sarawak pada tahun 1966, Sabah (1994) dan Perak (2009).

Keadaan seperti itu, tegasnya, tidak harus diulangi, manakala perbuatan tersebut harus diharam.

Lim berkata enakmen itu telah digubal oleh ketiga-tiga parti komponen Pakatan Rakyat dan berdasarkan tiga prinsip penting:

  • Kedaulatan rakyat di bawah sistem demokrasi berparlimen, dengan rakyat mempunyai hak untuk memilih wakil mereka;
  • Kebebasan berpersatuan bagi wakil yang dipilih, tetapi dia perlu mengosongkan kerusinya jika melompat parti;
  • Bagi prinsip akauntabiliti, wakil rakyat mesti bertanggungjawab kepada pengundi mereka.
Enakmen itu termasuk Seksyen 14A,  'Ahli yang menukar parti politik', yang mengkehendaki seseorang ADUN dari parti tertentu yang dipilih oleh rakyat, untuk mengosongkan kerusinya jika dia bertukar parti atau berhenti menjadi ahli parti atas apa jua alasan.

Seseorang yang dipilih sebagai ahli Bebas juga mesti mengosongkan kerusinya jika orang itu menyertai sesebuah parti politik.

Bagaimanapun, Seksyen 14A mengecualikan wakil rakyat dari mengosongkan kerusinya jika keahliannya berakhir kerana pembubaran parti atau pembatalan pendaftarannya.

Ia juga termasuk situasi bagi seseorang wakil rakyat melepaskan keahliannya dalam parti jika dia dipilih sebagai speaker dewan undangan negeri.- malaysiakini

Anti-hopping law passed by Penang assembly...

The Penang Constitutional Enactment (Amendment) Bill 2012 was tabled and passed in the state legislative assembly today to curb elected representatives from party-hopping on their free will.

The enactment was passed by 27 of the 31 assemblypersons, with the four Umno assemblypersons present declining to vote.


lim guan eng interview 260512 04Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said tabling the Bill was a "historical" act that included a significant amendment to the state constitution to enable the law to be implemented.

This, Lim said, was to address the "unhealthy and unethical" culture of switching political parties for personal gain, to promote integrity, accountability and to return to the people the power to choose their state assemblypersons.

"We have witnessed the country in chaos when the federal government seized power from the states in an undemocratic manner, through (acts of) betrayal by party members," Lim said when tabling the Bill

"Other than leaving the party for personal gain, those involved have also betrayed the trust of the people who elected them into office," he added.


No respect for mandate of people in three states

Lim then cited three states where the people's mandate had not been respected - in Sarawak in 1966, Sabah (1994) and Perak (2009).

Such situations should not be repeated, while similar and recurring acts should be made illegal, he said.

Lim said the enactment was drafted by the three component parties of Pakatan Rakyat and based on three important principles:

  • Sovereignty of the people under the parliamentary democratic system, with the people having the right to choose their representatives;
  • Freedom of association for the elected representative, but he or she should vacate the seat if party-hopping during the tenure; and
  • On the principle of accountability, elected representatives must be responsible to their voters.
Vacate seat even if switching to be ‘Independent'
 

The enactment includes a Section 14A, ‘Members who change political parties', which requires a state assemblyperson from a particular party who is elected by the people to vacate the seat if he or she switches party or stops being a party member for whatever reason.

A person elected as an Independent member must also vacate the seat if that person joins a political party.

However, Section 14A exempts an elected representative from vacating the seat if his or her party membership is ended by the disbanding of the party or by the cancellation of its registration.

It also includes a situation for a elected representative to give up party membership if he or she is picked as the speaker of the state legislative assembly.- malaysiakini


 

 Penang opposition leader suspended for second time...

Penang Opposition Leader Azhar Ibrahim (BN-Penaga) has been suspended for six months from the state legislative assembly, the second time in just over two years.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who tabled the motion for suspension on Thursday, said the Rights and Privileges Committee had decided on the suspension after Azhar failed to explain his statement of May 8 that the assembly verbatim record could be manipulated, which the committee felt had tarnished the dignity of the assembly, speaker Abdul Halim Hussain and staff of the assembly. 

Lim said Azhar would continue to receive his salary and allowances as a state assemblyman.

"The committee met five times. The first meeting, on June 7, had exempted the Penaga assemblyman but he was summoned to the second and third meetings. However, he did not turn up.

"Therefore, at the fourth meeting, the Rights and Privileges Committee decided to suspend him from attending the assembly for six months from Nov 1," he said.

NONEAzhar had been suspended for six months from Aug 17, 2010, for having uttered "May 13" (in apparent reference to the racial riots of May 13, 1969) while arguing with Lim (DAP-Air Putih) when winding up debate on the motion of thanks for the address by the Penang Yang Dipertua Negeri.

Meanwhile, Arif Shah Omar Shah (BN-Seberang Jaya) intervened to seek speaker Abdul Halim's consideration not to suspend Azhar, saying that Azhar was going to retire as an elected representative.

However, Azhar, who spoke during the debate on the motion seeking his suspension, objected to the suggestion by Arif Shah.

He alleged that Lim used the fear tactic to silence those who criticised his leadership of the state government administration.

"If the opposition leader can be suspended, what more the government officers?" he asked.
 

NONEAzhar plans to defend seat

During the debate, Jasmin Mohamed (BN-Sungai Dua) congratulated Azhar for having prompted Lim to decide on his suspension from the assembly.

"It has been proven that the state government does not apply the Competency, Accountability and Transparency (CAT) principle in its administration as often proclaimed," he said.

During a break in the assembly sitting, Azhar, the five-term state assemblyman who had expressed his intention to retire from politics, told reporters that he would now defend the seat in view of the support from the Penaga constituents.

"Today, I have been suspended for a second time for being bold enough to take on the chief minister. My constituents regard me as their champion. I am just waiting for the decision of the prime minister (Najib Razak) on whether I will get to contest in the 13th general election," he said.

At the same news conference, Teluk Bahang state assemblyman Dr Hilmi Yahaya said he would now assume the role of opposition leader.

"What I regret most is that the decision to suspend the opposition leader was unfair. They, especially the chief minister, decided as they liked," he said.- malaysiakini

Anak Nazri Aziz memang guna kereta mewah milik Michael Chia,ahli perniagaan yang derma RM40 juta kpd.UMNO...

Anak Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz menikmati manfaat terus dari Michael Chia, ahli perniagaan yang terbabit dalam skandal RM40 juta untuk Umno Sabah.

Dedah Pengarah Strategi KEADILAN, Rafizi Ramli pada sidang medianya di Parlimen hari ini, Nedim Nazri menggunakan kenderaan mewah jenis Hummer berwarna hitam dengan nombor pendaftaran WNX 9776 milik Chia.

“Kenderaan itu berharga RM459,000…hak miliknya boleh disahkan melalui carian saman di laman MyEG.

“Saman bernombor 1100105197 bertarikh 1 April 2011 mengesahkan ia milik Michael Chia atau Chia 0tien Woh (670406-12-5261),” jelas Rafizi.

Menurut Rafizi, berdasarkan pemantauan, kereta tersebut kebiasaannya dipandu oleh pemandu peribadi keluarga Nedim di antara kediaman beliau di Clearwater Residence, dan kedai miliknya di Bangsar Shopping Complex.

Rafizi turut menunjukkan beberapa gambar bukti.- keadilandaily

Rafizi dedah anak Nazri Aziz terima kenderaan mewah Michael Chia



Kereta mewah Hummer WNX 9776 kepunyaan Michael Chia dipakai oleh Nedim Nazri Aziz...

Beberapa hari lalu Nazri Abdul Aziz telah menafikan menerima RM3 juta daripada 'kawan' hartawan kayu tetapi tidak pasti samada kawannya itu meminjamkan keretanya kepada anaknya.

Itu kenyataannya bila mengulas tulisan Raja Petra Kamarudin mendakwa bahawa Nazri dan anaknya Mohamad Nedim masing-masing menerima RM3 juta dan sebuah kereta sport dari Chia.

"Oh tidak, ia tidak benar, ia tidak benar. Chia ialah rakan. Saya tidak tahu jika dia dipinjamkan kereta untuk anak saya. Anda perlu bertanya kepada anak saya, "katanya di pejabatnya.

Jika kita pergi untuk bertanya kepada anak Nazri Aziz sendiri ada dua kemungkinan yang akan kita hadapi. Samada kita akan dibelasah oleh anaknya itu ataupun pertanyaan kita tidak akan dilayannya.

Bagi merungkai jawapan tentang kereta mewah tersebut KEADILAN dengan kerjasama Sarawak Report telah menjalankan siasatan sendiri untuk mengesahkan bahawa kenderaan mewah itu benar-benar digunakan oleh anak Dato’ Seri Nazri Aziz.

Dan penemuannya ialah memang benar sebuah kereta mewah milik Micheal Chia kini digunakan oleh anak Nazri Aziz tetapi yang ditemui ialah Hummer.

Sebagai seorang Menteri kanan yang dipertanggungjawabkan menangani kes-kes rasuah dan pengubahan wang haram yang sensitif seperti kes RM40 juta ini, Nazri Aziz perlulah telus, bersih dan dilihat tidak mempunyai sebarang kepentingan dengan mana-mana individu yang dipertahankan beliau.

Malangnya, KEADILAN mempunyai bukti bahawa kaum keluarga beliau mendapat manfaat terus (direct benefit) dari sumbangan Michael Chia, iaitu individu utama yang dituduh di dalam skandal RM40 juta.

Anak kepada Dato’ Seri Nazri Aziz iaitu Nedim Nazri Aziz dan keluarganya mendapat manfaat melalui sebuah kenderaan mewah jenis Hummer hitam dengan nombor pendaftaran WNX 9776.

Kenderaan mewah Hummer hitam WNX 9776 ini dianggarkan berharga lebih RM459,000 dan dimiliki oleh Michael Chia. Hakmilik ini boleh disahkan melalui carian saman di laman MyEG.




Saman bernombor 1100105197 bertarikh 1 April 2011 mengesahkan bahawa kenderaan Hummer hitam (gambarnya disertakan sekali di dalam carian saman MyEG seperti dalam Gambar A2) adalah dimiliki oleh Michael Chia atau Chia Tien Foh (670406-12-5261).

Bukti-bukti berikut (diperolehi melalui siasatan mengenai latar belakang anak Dato’ Seri Nazri Aziz dan pemantauan Hummer WNX 9776) mengesahkan bahawa kenderaan tersebut digunakan sepenuhnya oleh anak Dato’ Seri Nazri Aziz:
 

Kenderaan tersebut berada di parkir Clearwater Residence, Damansara Heights

Pemantauan kami menunjukkan bahawa Hummer WNX 9776 dipandu oleh pemandu peribadi keluarga Nedim Nazri Aziz. Rutin harian kenderaan tersebut banyak berkisar di antara Clearwater Residence (kediaman anak Dato’ Seri Nazri Aziz) dan Bangsar Shopping Complex (kedai anak Dato’ Seri Nazri Aziz).

Gambar-gambar pemantauan di lobi Clearwater Residence yang jelas membuktikan bahawa kenderaan itu berulang-alik dari Clearwater Residence dan dipandu oleh pemandu dan pengawal peribadi keluarga Nedim Nazri Aziz. - paspb2.blogspot

Hummer shows Nazri-Chia links...

NONELaw Minister Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz has been accused of acting with conflicting interests when he told Parliament that businessman Michael Chia had been cleared of corruption charges, because they appear to be friends.

The link between the duo is in the form of a black Hummer SUV, which retails at over RM459,000, that is owned by Chia and may have been used by Nazri's eldest son Nedim.


This claim was made by PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli today, who furnished a copy of a traffic ticket which stated the owner as Chia Tien Woh and covertly obtained photographs to show that the vehicle was frequently spotted at the condo where Nedim lives (photo right).

“Here you have a very high profile corruption and money-laundering case previously involving one chief minister and several jurisdictions, and the very person who cleared the Sabah chief minister’s and Chia’s name is the minister on whom we have found evidence that his family had received ... benefits from Chia.

“If this is not (graft), I don’t know what it is. At the very least, there is a question of conflict of interest where he should take political and moral responsibility,” he said during a press conference at the Parliament lobby.


Nazri laughs it off

Following this, reporters immediately rushed to Nazri's office for comments, where he jovially laughed off any allegations of conflict of interest. 


NONENazri explained that his written reply to Parliament on the matter came from the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), and neither answer to him.

"If I am a high court judge, Chia appears before me and my son drives his car. (Then) I am in trouble.

"I am not the judge in Chia's case. I am not even the investigator. MACC is Chia's investigator. I am a minister replying in Parliament," he said. 

In addition, he said what happens between Chia and his son is none of his business because the latter is already an adult.

“I’m not gay, my son is not my wife, my son is not my lover, I don’t sleep with him. What he does he doesn’t tell me.” 

He told reporters that questions about the veracity of Rafizi’s claim that Chia had given Nedim a car should instead be referred to the two of them.

“That’s between my son and Michael Chia... If he wants to give a Hummer or Ferrari, that’s Michael Chia’s business.”

However, he did admit that he does know Chia personally and had once travelled to Dubai with Chia, but at his own expense.


"I know Chia and I am not worried about it," he said.

Asked whether he was worried about the allegations, their potential effect on the BN and himself and whether he would take action against Rafizi, Nazri replied in the negative to all the questions.

“Why (would it) harm BN? What about Anwar’s pictures screwing a prostitute. That one doesn’t harm. Is what happened to me worse than that? I’m asking you, is it worse?

“If Anwar was not worried, why am I worried about this? His pictures go around town, cyberworld... f***ing this prostitute from China... He was not worried, why should I worry? You can quote me, you are the one who asked.”

When further quizzed whether the public would believe his explanation, Nazri said that is not of his concern.

“I don’t care, I don't care, I know you like me, I tell you. I'm not worried, go ask my son, because I can't be responsible for him, I don't screw him, I don't sleep with him, he sleep with his wife, he’s got a kid.” 


'It does not bother me... I have film star status'

He said he wasn’t even inclined to answer to Rafizi, since he was not an MP and responded because reporters came to ask him.

“I don't really want to answer because he is not an MP... make sure he is an MP first then come and talk to me... of course if an MP asks question I would answer, get into Parliament first.

“I don't want to stoop so low and be with him, but since you come and ask, I say,” he said.

He also told reporters, when asked, that he does not intend to take any action against PKR for stalking his son.

“Why should I? It does not bother me. I am popular. Do you know I have film star status here? Not a local one, Hollywood!” he said.

At the press conference earlier, Rafizi told reporters that Nedim had been placed under surveillance for “some time” after links between him and Chia emerged, and he furnished reporters with the findings.


NONEIn addition to the unpaid speeding ticket issued on April 1, 2011, obtained from the myEG website, Rafizi released a blurry photograph of two persons standing next to the Hummer, which was parked outside Nedim’s purported residence in Damansara Heights.

Rafizi claimed that the two were Nedim’s driver and bodyguard, and showed another set of dark, blurry photographs purported to be the same individuals handling the family’s Toyota Vellfire van.

Although the Hummer’s licence plate is legible in the photographs, the facial features of the two men in them were not recognisable.

Rafizi claimed that the Hummer was the vehicle used for commuting between the condo and the Bangsar Shopping Complex, where Nedim supposedly operates an outlet.

To show that Nedim indeed lives at the Damansara Heights condo, Rafizi showed reporters a purported tweet from Nedim inviting his friends to the swimming pool there, along with a photograph of the pool.

He said a PKR team had visited the condo, posing as property investors, and took pictures of the area. They found the swimming pool to match that in Nedim’s tweet and in the condo's website.


No blanket denial, please

Mohamad Nedim Mohd Nazri AzizRafizi also warned Nazri against issuing a blanket denial of his accusations, or saying that he (Nazri) did know what his son was up to. Nazri should explain how and why Nedim (right) obtained and used Chia’s car.

“A year before, another senior minister used exactly the same excuse. In fact, that excuse has been repeated in court, in that she said she does not know anything about the business affairs of her husband and children.

“Politically, she suffered tremendously because the people can no longer tolerate that kind of excuse... A politician must not only be ‘white’ but also seen to be ‘white’,” Rafizi said.

While Rafizi did not name this minister, he was clear that he was referring to former women’s minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, who stepped down when her term as senator ended on March 11, at the height of the National Feedlot Corporation scandal in which her husband and children are implicated.

Rafizi promised reporters that video recordings of PKR’s surveillance would be released at a press conference tomorrow since the environment at the Parliament lobby was not conducive for screening them. A report would also be lodged with the MACC in the near future.

When the reporters pointed out that Nedim was not featured in any of the photographs he released so far, Rafizi said more evidence would be released connecting Nedim with the Hummer.

“Of all the photographs we have given you, it is true that Nedim is not in the car. As I said, after some surveillance, the car was found to be used largely by his bodyguard and driver.

“Nedim drives a sports car. He doesn’t drive the Hummer, it is only for the bodyguard and the driver. He moves around in a convoy, with the sports car in front and the Hummer at the back,” Rafizi said.

Transcript: Why Nazri is not worried...

De facto law minister Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz said that he sees no problem with his son driving businessman Michael Chia's Hummer SUV. 

NONEHe said that if a certain opposition figure (name withheld due to legal reasons) is not worried about a leaked video purportedly depicting himself having a tryst with a foreign sex worker, then there is no reason why he should be.

The full transcript follows:

Nazri: He (Rafizi Ramli) got no locus standi.
 

Reporters: (Batu MP) Tian Chua and (Ampang MP) Zuraida (Kamaruddin) were there also.

Then bring him to Parliament lah.

We can show the stuff that they (PKR) have done.

Reporters had questioned Mohd Nazri at his office after the allegation on the Hummer was exposed by PKR leaders at the Parliament lobby today. 


Then bring him to Parliament lah.

We can show the stuff that they (PKR) have done.

I saw. If it is an offence... Ask Tian Chua to ask me... If it is an office, report to the police... If I have done any offence, report me to the MACC.

Basically they just said it is a conflict of interest.

Who asked the questions?

All three of them (Zuraida, Tian Chua and Rafizi).

No, no, in Parliament, who asked the question?

First time was Tian Chua (who raised the issue) in question-and-answer session.

Then who is the minister in-charge of... so, who give me the question?

They are saying if your son has links with Michael Chia, then you should not have stood up and defend them...

No, no, no. I'm the minister. I've got no personal interest. When he asked that question, I didn't even know what question was coming. It was (the) committee-level debate.

There was also (a) written answer if I'm not mistaken.

That (question was answered) under my name, of course, and what conflict of interest do I have? I don't have any conflict of interest. And I have no control of the MACC. I can't tell the MACC to drop cases. They are independent. So because I have no power to do that, how can I be bribed? I cannot do something which they want me to do.

And in Parliament, you must understand, answers come from the MACC, not from me. I don't even know that... when they asked about Michael Chia, the answer came from the MACC, I don't even know that Michael Chia was not arrested, but the answer came from the MACC. I don't know anything.

What about the claim that you were talking on behalf of (Hong Kong's) Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), saying that the ICAC has cleared them of the charges?

That's the answer from the MACC. You see, our system, you know what, first of all, I don't even know the questions that were going to be asked because it was not planned, it was committee-level debate.
When I was answering, they stood up and asked me. So I'm the minister, I have to answer. The answer all came from the MACC.

Okay, all things aside, whether or not the car is registered under Michael Chia's name...

I don't know. It is between my son and Michael Chia... Anyway, if my son drives a car of Michael Chia, what has that got to do with me? What has that got to do with me? He is not a kid below 21 years old, he is an adult.

They are saying that Dato Seri Shahrizat has claimed the same thing and now it has caused her...

Yeah, that's what they are trying to do... but what have I done? I don't know.

But the thing is, you see, even though you can say that it is not your fault, nothing to do with you and all that, but when it comes out in media, you know how the public would view this kind of... it doesn't sound nice...

It doesn't bother me a bit. (laughs)

Like Shahrizat's case, she said: “I don't know anything about my husband… ”

That's husband and wife. I don't sleep with my son. I'm not gay (reporters laugh). My son is not my wife, my son is not my lover, I don't sleep with him.

What he does, he doesn't tell me. It is different from husband and wife, okay? Why are you so worried?

Not to say worried; I'm just saying that it does not sound nice in public, then the public... and people will start talking.

Let it be, let it be. You press Wikipedia, 'Nazri Aziz', what come out? All sorts of things. I'm still a minister, my friend, okay? It is not going to hurt me one bit. I'm not affected by gutter politics.

Do you know Michael Chia?

I know him also. You see, there must be this difference, okay. If I'm a High Court judge, and Michael Chia appears before me and my son drives his car, then I'm in trouble.

I'm not a judge in Michael Chia's case. I'm not even the investigator. The MACC is (the investigator) in Michael Chia's case. I'm a minister replying in Parliament.

They claimed that the ICAC has not cleared (Michael Chia), and the ICAC closed the case because they didn't get any cooperation from Malaysia, from the MACC.


No, no, it was a donation... This one, you don't ask me. You must ask the Attorney-General's Chambers, you must ask the MACC.

You know I'm not their spokesperson. I only replied what they gave me. They are independent body, I got no control over the MACC, I got no control over the AG. So how can I be influencing them? 

I can't and all those replies in Parliament, you know, are answers given by the MACC, not my personal answers.

You must understand the system. The AG and the chief commissioner of the MACC, they cannot appear in Parliament, they have got no locus standi.

You are the spokesperson?

With their consent. All my answers, anything about the MACC and AG's Chambers, all from them like people who get angry with me (when) I said secular state. That's AG.

People get angry with me because I say Pati (illegal migrants) in Sabah is not a threat. That is security council punya jawab (answer). Kalau PM jawab, PM kena marah. I'm okay, I have no problem. It's part and parcel of my job.

As de facto law minister, although just reading out answer from different agencies, do you see yourself influential because your reply carries weight... ?

I'm a very influential person. I'm a very influential man. There's no doubt about it, very important too. I'm not scared at all, I did nothing wrong. Those replies came from Parliament. I was merely doing my job, discharging my duties and responsibility.

So you won't consider suing Rafizi then?

What for? Let him be a trumpet blower. Anyway, I don't really want to answer him because he's not an MP. 

I think if Tian Chua was there only to let him (Rafizi) make a statement at (the) parliament (lobby), because he's not a member of Parliament, he cannot make a statement here, he's just a wannabe. Make sure you're an MP first, then come to talk to me.

Anyway, even in the Parliament, (during) debates... Ketua Pembangkang (Opposition Leader), that's my level. But of course, MPs ask me, they ask. But this guy, no way.

If one day, he enters Parliament as an MP, he'll bash you.

Suruh dia masuk parliament dulu la. (Tell me him to enter Parliament first). I don't want to stoop low and deal with him, okay?

But since you all come and ask, I just say lah. It's not even a mosquito bite. I'm sorry. If you all come here thinking I'll be upset, far from it.

But do you know about the Hummer?

That's between my son and Michael Chia. I know Michael Chia.

So you confirm Hummer really exists...

Kalau dia nak bagi Hummer ke, Ferrari ke, itu Michael Chia punya pasal lah, bukan bagi dekat I (If he wants to give a Hummer, or a Ferrari, that's Michael Chia's business. He's not giving it to me). I'm the minister, not my son, okay?

So you confirm that the Hummer really exists.

Buat apa nak confirm. Gambar dah ada. You pergi tanya anak I. (Why should I confirm it? The pictures are there. You go ask my son.)

As I've said, I don't sleep with my son, okay? I'm not gay and I'm not incestuous.

Do you see a problem (with the fact) that your son (drives) Michael Chia's car?

Why is it a problem? It's between him and Michael. Go and find Michael lah. Go and find Michael.

Is there a problem?

You can ask him lah if there's a problem. I don't drive the car. Mine is WVJ 6. Everyday I come here, WVJ 6. Wealth, victory and justice. Some people say 'wisdom', I don't want (wisdom).

You prefer wealth to wisdom?

I prefer wealth. That's why I'm rich. I can afford a lot of things but certainly it's not NFC's (National Feedlot Corporation's) money.

I know you don't care about gutter politics and that this is not even a mosquito bite to you. But do you think this issue would harm BN in the election?

Why harm BN? Why BN? What about (an opposition figure's) picture screwing (a) Chinese prostitute and all that? That one don't harm... is what is happening to me worse than that? Huh? Is it worse ah? Is it worse?

If (the opposition figure) is not worried, why should I be worried about this? Your picture all over town, in the cyber world, f***ing this prostitute from China. He's not worried, why should I worry about this. You can quote me on this.

You ask me if I'm worried, on whether it will harm BN. What I'm saying is that this picture of (the opposition figure) screwing this Chinese prostitute going all over the cyberworld, he's not worried. My question is: should I be worried?

(Question inaudible, muffled by other reporters' chatter) The way you answer ...

I don't care. Why are you so worried?

I need to confirm again, you know (of) the Hummer?

No need, the pictures are there. You go ask my son. I cannot be responsible for my son. I don't screw him, I don't sleep with him. He sleeps with his wife, he's got a kid. So whatever he does, I don't know. I know Michael Chia, I'm not worried.

If the allegations really exist?

Go report police lah. Why do you (hold) a PC (press conference)? Right or not? You know anything about me, why you make PC? Publicity seeker lah, cheap publicity. Go report police lah, MACC.

If your son is really guilty...

Guilty of what?

If he really committed...

Committed what? Do you know what you are talking about? Committed what? Kiss a girl?

Conflict of interest?

Conflict of interest? But he is not a minister.

But he is related to you.

He's my son. I have no power over MACC. I have no power on AG's Chambers. How can I? And all those questions, answers, came from MACC. How can I be compromised? I cannot be compromised.

It's not my answer, it's the answer of SPRM. You must understand that. It's not my answer, all these answers are from MACC. If I said Michael Chia was not arrested, that was the answer from MACC, not me. I'm not the investigator, I didn't investigate.

If AG said, if I answer in Parliament that ICAC has already closed the case, that is the answer from AG's Chambers. Not my answer.

I see your point.

So don't worry, I'll still be around.

But you're not going to stand in elections, right?

What has this got to do with ... aiyo ... It's not connected, the question.

That's why when you see me, when someone asks (me a question in Parliament), I stand up and the I look around, because I'm waiting for the answer from the officers. It's not my answer.

Are you concerned that your son and his family are being followed?

I'm a rich man, I'm powerful, good looking. (reporters giggle) Wealthy. So what can I do? My son ask, 'Pa, is it...' I say, 'Look, you are my son.'

Will you lodge a police on your son being followed?

Why should I? It doesn't bother me. I'm popular, I have a film star punya status here you know? Celebrity. Bukan film star local, Hollywood punya (laughs).

No, but there is nothing I can do, (if) they want to follow.

And if Rafizi lodges a report with MACC?

What kind of question it that? He wants to report, he report lah. You know, he's a clarinet player, he told me in his tweet.

In Malay College (Kuala Kangsar), when he (enrolled), I was not around, but those who play the clarinet are jambu, you know. Ni jambu punya style la.- malaysiakini



 Tycoon’s Hummer used by Nazri’s son...

PKR has come up with proof supposedly showing senior minister Nazri Abdul Aziz’s son using a car belonging to timber tycoon Michael Chia.

Armed with photographs and screenshots, PKR strategic director Rafizi Ramli detailed an extensive account of Nedim Nazri Aziz’s use of a black Hummer worth more than RM459,000.

He showed that the Hummer (registered plate: WNX 9776) was not only used by Nedim’s personal bodyguard and driver, but was also seen parked at the Clearwater Residence apartments, Damansara Heights, where Nedim is said to live.

The expose comes several days after Nazri, the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, denied receiving any money from Chia, who was embroiled in the RM40 million Sabah Umno scandal involving various senior government officials.

“We have established that this Hummer is not owned by Nazri’s son, but Chia,” said Rafizi.

He said that they were first able to determine the car’s owner by checking the Hummer’s traffic fine status through the MyEg website; which clearly showed that the car belonged to a Chia Tien Foh, or Michael Chia.

Rafizi added that PKR devised a surveillance team of its own to not only tail Nedim and the car, but to also monitor his Internet usage, particularly through his and his wife Bee-Khan’s Twitter acounts.

He also showed photographs of Nedim’s Clearwater apartment, sourced from various Twitter accounts.

To cement this further, Rafizi said that he and his team disguised themselves as “real estate agents” to probe the apartments and see if the photos were similar to what they saw at Clearwater.

He also showed a blurred image of Nedim and Bee-Khan’s son supposedly traveling in the Hummer.

“If this is not bribery I don’t know what it is. At the very least, ethically there is a question of conflict of interest where he (Nazri) should take moral and political responsibility for it,” Rafizi said.

He asked how Nazri was able to let his son use Chia’s car, after the tycoon was supposedly arrested by Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) for smuggling RM40 million.

Nazri had earlier told Parliament that Chia was never arrested by the ICAC, a matter that was disputed by Rafizi.

ICAC’s reputation at stake

The PKR leader claimed that the ICAC had to drop the case – which began in 2008- as there was no cooperation from the Malaysian government, particularly Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail.


He added that he intended to go to Hong Kong and was waiting for a response from the ICAC over this.
“It’s going to be a different ball game this time around. It’s not about ICAC, but the reputation of ICAC which has been dragged into this,” he said.

Rafizi added that he was in contact with “other parties” in Hong Kong over the matter involving ICAC.

He added that he would “eventually” lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the matter.

‘Between my son and Chia’

In a response, Nazri told reporters that Chia’s car had nothing to do with him. He said: “That is between my son and Chia. If my son is friends with Chia, what has that got to do with me?”

He added that he had no influence over the AG’s chambers or the MACC, and shrugged off concerns that this would affect his political carreer.

Musa’s troubles deepen amid alleged link between Michael Chia and Nazri...

Photographic evidence was presented by PKR’s Rafizi Ramli today allegedly showing Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz’s son using a luxury vehicle registered to Michael Chia, the timber trader the senior Cabinet minister recently defended against corruption claims linked to Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman.

In his latest expose, the PKR strategy director alleged that the link between Chia and Nazri raises the question of “conflict of interest” and suspicion over the minister’s apparent haste and determination in dismissing the corruption claims against the businessman and Musa.

“Here you have a high-profile corruption and money-laundering case that not just involves the chief minister.

“And yet the very person who announced the clearance of Musa is the same minister whom we found proof of how he has been receiving direct benefits from Chia.


“He must take moral and political responsibility for this... there is a direct question of corruption here, involving him and his family,” 

Rafizi told a press conference in Parliament.

Rafizi revealed that a special surveillance team has been tailing and observing the activities of Nazri’s son Nedim “for a long time now” in order to obtain proof that Nedim’s RM500,000 black Hummer WNX 9776 belongs to Chia.

He added that prior to Nazri’s “relentless” defence of Chia and Musa in Parliament, it was already rumoured that the luxury vehicle belonged to Chia.

“We have been waiting for the things that he (Nazri) has said (about Chia and Musa)... If it had not been for his words...,” Rafizi said.

Nazri recently told Parliament that Musa had been cleared of corruption allegations after anti-graft authorities in Malaysia and Hong Kong found that the RM40 million “political donation” that Chia was accused of attempting to smuggle to Malaysia in 2008 was not for Musa’s personal use but for Sabah Umno’s.- malaysian insider
