A judicial misadventure...

Thank you The Malaysian Insider for that report on how MACC lawyer Shafee Abdullah absolved the agency of any blame in the death of Customs officer Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed.

I say thank you because MACC represents the government and as their representative, Shafee stands as the voice of the MACC and the Najib government.

Instead of showing humility and understanding that a life was lost, the lawyer was gloating in a Pyrrhic victory and in that moment let me know all I needed to know about these people.

It is astounding that MACC and Shafee can offer a rubbish storyline about how Sarbaini’s death happened — and expect us to swallow it.


Let me put it down simply: Sarbaini and his Customs team are under probe for corruption.

A day after giving a statement, he voluntarily goes to the MACC office and is waiting to meet his handler or investigator.


He falls to his death. MACC says that Sarbaini fell to his death while exiting through a window, which essentially leads to nowhere.

He enters through the front door voluntarily and is not under arrest but decides to leave through the window like Superman.


And during the coroner’s inquiry we hear that critical CCTV footage has been erased.


As expected the coroner returns a verdict of misadventure.


Actually the only misadventure was Sarbaini’s folly of walking into the MACC office and believing that a seriously compromised government agency could be of help to him.


The whole storyline during the inquiry was so juvenile and absurd that only the MACC guys and their lawyer believed it.

And yet there was Shafee telling all and sundry about how MACC was absolved.


I suppose this is what the government wanted: closure before the elections!! - Ali Kadir
