Dedahkan jumlah bayaran kepada Shafee Abdullah...
DAP mempersoalkan jumlah bayaran yang diterima oleh Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah bukan sahaja untuk mengetuai pasukan pendakwaan terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar, bahkan untuk menjelajah ke seluruh negara bagi terus mengaibkan Anwar.
Shafee kini diarak ke seluruh negara dalam siri jelajah anjuran Umno dalam rangka meyakinkan orang ramai mengenai hukuman bersalah yang dikenakan oleh Mahkamah Persekutuan terhadap Ketua Umum PKR tersebut.
Ketua Parlimen DAP Lim Kit Siang dalam kenyataan medianya mengulas bahawa meski Shafee telah menang di mahkamah, beliau tewas di mahkamah rakyat dan pada mata masyarakat antarabangsa.
“Memandangkan pembayar cukai Malaysia membayar Shafee untuk peranannya sebagai ketua pendakwa, mereka berhak tahu berapa jumlah yang dibayar kepada Shafee untuk menyumbat Anwar ke penjara untuk kali keempat,” ujar Kit Siang yang baru sahaja menyambut ulangtahun ke-74 semalam.
“Adakah bayaran bagi khidmat Shafee itu sama banyaknya dengan gaji Peguam Negara selama setahun?
“Jika ya, kenapa bukan Peguam Negara Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail sendiri yang menjalankan pendakwaan?” soal Ahli Parlimen Gelang Patah tersebut.
Menurut beliau lagi, rakyat Malaysia juga berhak mengetahui sama ada wang cukai mereka juga turut dibayar kepada Shafee untuk menjelajah seluruh negara bagi menjustifikasi hukuman terhadap Anwar.
Kit Siang menggesa supaya jumlah bayaran tersebut didedahkan, atau Shafee mesti menjelaskan sama ada khidmat jelajahnya itu dibuat secara ikhlas tanpa bayaran demi Umno.
“Malah sebenarnya, jelajah oleh Shafee ini membangkitkan persoalan sama ada beliau berkhidmat sebagai pendakwaraya (bagi pihak rakyat) atau pendakwa-Umno dalam kes Fitnah II Anwar Ibrahim,” tegasnya lagi.
Pemimpin veteran DAP itu turut bersetuju dengan pendapat Ketua Penerangan Umno Pusat Bandar Taman Chempaka Syed Rosli Syed Harman Jamalullail bahawa jelajah oleh Shafee ini hanya akan memberi kesan balas kepada Umno sendiri, berikutan taktik Shafee yang terus memalukan Anwar, sedangkan beliau tidak dapat menjawab serangan-serangan terbabit.
Malah, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Nancy Shukri pun turut menyatakan bantahannya terhadap jelajah tersebut. – Roketkini.com
Disclose if gov't paying for Shafee's roadshow...
Shafee last week spoke at an Umno Youth forum on the issue and is scheduled to speak at another Umno organised event in Penang tonight.
Lim (below) said that this should be clarified given suspicions following the government's refusal to disclose how much the Attorney-General's Chambers had paid the lawyer to take up the case.
The fees have been classified under the Official Secrets Act.
“(What is) the exact full amounts or fees or whether he is rendering his services to Umno pro bono?” he asked.
Although
Shafee's fee is an official secret, Lim said the government can still
reveal if the fee is higher than Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail's
annual salary.“If so, the question arises as to why Abdul Gani (did not) conduct the prosecution himself instead of privatising it to Shafee,” he said.
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim was on Feb 10 sentenced to five years in jail after found guilty of sodomising his former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan in 2008.
Can't have your cake and eat it
On a separate verdict, Lim urged murder convict Sirul Azhar Umar to own up to killing Mongolian national Altantuya Shariibuu.
Sirul cannot refuse to admit to killing Altantuya but at the same time say that he had acted under orders from someone powerful, he said.
“If
Sirul claims that he is innocent of the murder of Altantunya, then he
should not be claiming justice on the ground that he had murdered under
“orders”, but that he had been wrongly convicted of Altantunya’s murder
when he is totally innocent.“Sirul should think through his statements and actions so as not to be caught in a web of his own making,” Lim said in a separate statement.
Sirul in an exclusive interview with Malaysiakini decried being sentenced to death over the murder for following a directive.
He, however, said that he never admitted to killing Altantuya and that he was convicted based on circumstantial evidence.
Sirul fled to Australia and is now in immigration detention in Sydney while fellow ex-commando Azilah Hadri who was convicted alongside him is on death row.- mk
Pakar undang-undang dakwa Shafee hina mahkamah...
Peguam kanan Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah didakwa telah menghina
mahkamah dengan mendedahkan keterangan secara tertutup di mahkamah
kepada umum, kata pensyarah undang-undang Universiti Malaysia, Gurdial
Singh Nijar.
Katanya, apabila mahkamah memerintah keterangan diberi secara tertutup (in camera), maka butiran itu tidak boleh didedahkan di luar mahkamah.
Prosiding secara tertutup adalah ia didengar di hadapan hakim di mana orang ramai dan media tidak dibenarkan berada dalam dewan mahkamah.
Sebab itulah, kata Gurdial (kanan), keterangan tersebut tidak boleh dilaporkan oleh akhbar dan sesiapa saja.
Apabila keterangan ini didedahkan kepada umum, maka perintah mahkamah itu telah dilanggari, katanya kepada Malaysiakini.
Katanya, ia jelas menghina mahkamah dan jika disabitkan, boleh dihukum penjara, denda atau kedua-duanya.
Gurdial (kanan) mengulas mengenai Shafee, yang mendedahkan di sebuah forum anjuran Akademi Kepimpinan Kapten Hussein (Akhi), Pemuda Umno, Selasa lalu, butiran berhubung dakwaan pelakuan seks antara Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan bekas pembantunya, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
Shafee, yang dilantik oleh Jabatan Peguam Negara untuk mengendalikan pendakwaan kes itu, memberitahu forum tersebut butiran yang diberikan oleh pengadu, Saiful, secara tertutup.
Gurdial menambah ia terpulang kepada peguam negara untuk memulakan prosiding menghina mahkamah.
Perkara itu juga, katanya, boleh dibawa ke perhatian mahkamah oleh orang lain yang berkepentingan dalam prosiding itu atau sesiapa yang mengetahui mengenai tindakan menghina mahkamah itu.
"Mahkamah juga boleh memulakan prosiding dan merangka pertuduhan terhadap mana-mana orang yang melanggar perintah mahkamah atas inisiatifnya sendiri."
Sementara itu, peguam dan pakar perlembagaan Syahredzan Johan menyifatkan pendedahan Shafee mengenai keterangan yang diberi secara tertutup, sebagai perbuatan "mencemarkan nama baik atas alasan perbincangan undang-undang".
"
Menurut Syahredzan (kanan), terdapat sebab-sebabnya mengapa prosiding dibuat secara tertutup.
"Anda tidak mahu aspek tertentu prosiding didedahkan kepada umum,” katanya kepada Malaysiakini.
Oleh itu, tambahnya, peguam yang terlibat dalam kes itu - sama ada timbalan pendakwa raya atau peguam - untuk mendedahkan apa yang merupakan sebahagian daripada keterangan secara tutup kepada umum.
Jika tidak, tegas Syahredzan, seluruh maksud prosiding mahkamah secara tertutup itu tidak bermakna.- mk

Shafee has committed contempt, claim experts...
Senior lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah has committed contempt of court
by disclosing the court’s in camera evidence to the public.
Universiti Malaya law don Gurdial Singh Nijar said when a court orders evidence to be given in camera, such details cannot be disclosed outside the courtroom.
In camera judicial proceeding is when the hearing is done before the judge where the public and the press are excluded from the courtroom.
"That's why the evidence cannot be reported by newspapers and everybody else. When this evidence is disclosed to the public, the court order is violated," he told Malaysiakini.
"This constitutes contempt of the court which is punishable on conviction with imprisonment, a fine or both."
Gurdial (right) was commenting on Shafee, who at a forum last Tuesday organised by Umno Youth's Akademi Kepimpinan Kapten Hussein (Akhi), had gone into graphic details describing the foreplay and the sexual act between Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim and his former aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
Shafee, who was hired by the Attorney-General’s Chambers to prosecute the case, had told the forum that the lurid details were given by the complainant, Saiful, in camera.
Gurdial added that it was for the attorney-general to institute proceedings for contempt.
The matter can also be brought to the attention of the court by another person interested in the proceedings or who comes to know of the contempt, he said.
"The court can also initiate proceedings and formulate charges against any person violating the court order on its own initiative."
‘Character assassination’
Meanwhile, lawyer and constitutional expert Syahredzan Johan described Shafee's revelation of the in camera evidence as "character assassination disguised as a legal discussion".
According to Syahredzan, there were reasons why the proceedings were in camera.
"You do not want that particular aspect of proceedings to be made public.
"So, it should not be open to lawyers who are involved in the case - be it the deputy public prosecutor or defence counsel - to reveal what was part of the in camera evidence to the public," he told Malaysiakini.
Syahredzan (right) added that this would only defeat the whole purpose of such court proceedings.
When told that details of the in camera evidence are available should one do a file search in the court system, Syahredzan said even so, one would actually need to take the trouble to do such a search.- mk
