PRESS STATEMENT - 26 JUNE 2012

INVESTIGATE LEAK AND SALE OF TOP-SECRET MILITARY DOCUMENT ON SCORPENE

I note from his article published yesterday in the website Asia Sentinel that John Berthelsen, a well-known regional journalist has received what appear to be leaked documents from the on-going French investigation in Paris into corrupt payments made in connection with the purchase by Malaysia in 2002 of 2 Scorpene submarines.

French counsel for Suaram Joseph Breham announced in Bangkok on 30^th May 2012, amongst other revelations, that a top-secret document belonging to the Malaysian Navy relating to the Scorpene purchase had been seized from the Paris office of the French firm supplying the submarine DCNS.  He also  said that  the records also showed that the document came to DCNS from Terasasi Hong Kong a company owned by Razak Baginda and his father. Breham also suggested that money must have been paid to Terasasi by DCNS for that secret document.

Minister for Defence Datuk Zahid Hamidi has denied the transaction and said he will provide a full answer in Parliament today. It appears that he is referring to his answer to the adjournment speech to be made by YB Nurui Izzah at the close of proceedings today.

Upon receiving certain information relating to the documents exposed by John Berthelsen, we have verified that Document 151 in the French investigation file has a comment written by the investigators which in English reads as follows:

“In the file entitled ‘Report of the December 2000 – June 2002 Phase III Part 2’ appeared  the evaluation report of the French offer by the Royal Malaysian Navy dated 17 April 2001 followed by a table comparing the specifications of Scorpene and the wishes of the Malaysian Navy ( page 29 … ) with the technical assessments. The report concluded (page 30 ) that the offer was acceptable but an agreement must be reached on a few details notably the delivery.” Datuk Zahid must therefore explain today instead of just making bare denials the following:

-          How did this top secret document get into the hands of Terasasi and then to DCNS?

-          Who are the persons responsible for selling top secret military documents

-          Is he going to instruct the police to commence investigation and summon Razak Baginda for questioning?

PRESS RELEASE:

 Former ACA director Abdul Razak Idris denies that Anwar ordered him to make SD

        We refer to the false allegations published in the NST and Berita Harian on 21st June 2012 that opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had ordered former ACA director of investigations Abdul Razak Idris to make a statutory declaration relating to the RM 3 billion allegation. En Abdul Razak Idris has now denied the allegation that he was ordered by Anwar to make the SD clearing him of wrongdoing. Abdul Razak Idris has communicated this fact to NST and Berita Harian. We have been given a copy of his message in which he says, " Saya pula bukan diarah oleh DSAI tetapi saya diminta oleh KP SPRM untuk elakkan beliau atau pegawainya disapina oleh DSAI sebagai saksi plaintif dlm civil suit terhadap NST yg didengar pd akhir Nov 2009." From the preceding, it is clear now that the UMNO- owned NST and Berita Harian published a blatant lie against Anwar in order to inflict political damage upon him. This campaign of libel and character assasination is of course carried out with the knowledge and approval of Prime Minister Najib and UMNO who own these two newspapers. This denial by En Abdul Razak Idris' gives clear proof of the underhand UMNO campaign to defame and villify Anwar Ibrahim. UMNO and its media have now been caught red-handed making a false statement of a very serious nature about Anwar.The opposition leader has through his solicitors today issued a demand to the NST and Berita Harian newspapers to publish with equal prominence Abdul Razak Idris' denial that he was ordered to make the SD by Anwar. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim also claims damages and an undertaking that the false allegations will not be repeated.

MENGAPA TIADA TINDAKAN KE ATAS MUSA AMAN?

MENGAPA TIADA TINDAKAN KE ATAS MUSA AMAN?

Setelah dikejutkan dengan skandal RM250 juta NFC dan jualan rahsia pertahanan negara dalam kes Scorpene, rakyat Malaysia dikejutkan sekali lagi oleh skandal rasuah yang maha besar. Kali ini, perlakuan rasuah didakwa dilakukan salah seorang pemimpin kanan Barisan Nasional di Sabah, iaitu tidak lain dan tidak bukan Ketua Menteri Sabah sendiri, Datuk Seri Musa Aman.

Laman web “Sarawak Report” dalam beberapa artikel sejak bulan April 2012 telah mendedahkan Datuk Seri Musa secara sistematik merompak harta pusaka rakyat Sabah sejak tahun 1996 dengan mengaut keuntungan haram melalui rasuah jualan balak.

Dalam satu artikel bertarikh 10 Jun 2012, “Sarawak Report” telah mempamerkan dokumen-dokumen yang mendedahkan Datuk Seri Musa telah menyimpan wang haram yang dianggar melebihi USD90 juta di bank-bank di Hong Kong dan Zurich.

Kami difahamkan bahawa kes tersebut telah disiasat badan anti-rasuah di Hong Kong iaitu Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), yang menyatakan bahawa Datuk Seri Musa telah menggunakan sistem “money-laundering” melalui beberapa ajen - termasuklah Michael Chia dan peguam Richard Barnes - serta akaun-akaun di luar negara untuk cuba menyembunyikan identiti beliau.

Pada masa yang sama, “Sarawak Report” turut mendedahkan terdapat usaha melengahkan siasatan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) ke atas kes rasuah ini yang dilakukan oleh Peguam Negara Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail. Untuk makluman semua, Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail juga mempunyai pertalian persaudaraan dengan Datuk Seri Musa Aman.

Maka KEADILAN menggesa pihak-pihak bertanggungjawab memberi penjelasan berkaitan hal-hal yang berikut:

1) Demi membuktikan sama ada dakwaan “Sarawak Report” adalah benar atau tidak, Datuk Seri Musa Aman wajib membuat deklarasi aset sepenuhnya dalam masa yang terdekat, termasuklah segala aset dan harta yang disimpan dalam semua akaun-akaun bank di luar negara di atas nama beliau ataupun ahli-ahli keluarga terdekat.

2) SPRM wajib perjelas status siasatan ke atas Datuk Seri Musa Aman, sama ada pihak ICAC ada meminta bantuan siasatan di bawah “Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act (2002)” berkaitan kes rasuah ini, serta apakah tindakan lanjut pihak SPRM berkaitan skandal ini.

3) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail wajib menjawab dakwaan bahawa beliau telah melengahkan siasatan SPRM sama ada secara langsung ataupun tidak, hingga mengakibatkan pihak ICAC tidak dapat mengambil tindakan terhadap Datuk Seri Musa.

4) Difahamkan siasatan terhadap bank UBS AG, yang didakwa membantu menyalurkan wang haram (“money-laundering”) Datuk Seri Musa, akan bermula di Switzerland - mengapa Kerajaan Malaysia kelihatan seperti enggan melaksanakan sebarang tindakan undang-undang berkaitan dakwaan rasuah Datuk Seri Musa Aman?

957 peneroka saman Felda

Wartawan Sinar Harian
6 Jun 2012

 KUANTAN - Seramai 957 peneroka dari Felda Keratong 1 hingga 10, Rompin memfailkan saman dan tuntut ganti rugi sebanyak RM525 juta berhubung penipuan serta pecah amanah terhadap Felda dan Felda Palm Industries Sdn Bhd di Mahkamah Tinggi di sini, semalam.

Dalam tuntutan itu, peneroka menamakan Felda sebagai defendan pertama dan Felda Palm Industries sebagai defendan kedua.

Tuntutan itu berhubung pembayaran Kadar Perahan Gred (KPG) kelapa sawit didakwa rendah sepanjang 17 tahun, di samping mendakwa Felda tidak pulangkan kembali tandan buah busuk dan tidak berguna kepada peneroka.

Tuntutan saman itu diwakili tiga peguam bela diketuai R Sivarasa yang hadir bersama T Kumar dan Latheefa Koya di mahkamah kira-kira jam 2 petang.

Kira-kira 100 peneroka memenuhi pekarangan mahkamah. Hadir sama, Pengerusi Biro Peneroka dari PKR, Shuhaimi Said.

Sementara itu, R Sivarasa berkata, tuntutan saman itu berikutan defendan tidak menggunakan kadar KPG yang wajar terhadap peneroka.

Menurutnya, peneroka juga mempersoalkan tindakan defendan kerana menghalang plaintif melakukan ujian perahan minyak sawit di makmal bebas.

“Kenapa Felda menghalang tindakan mereka (plaintif) kalau tidak bersalah? Kenapa perlu takut untuk dibenarkan membuat ujian?” katanya.

Sebelum ini, seramai 770 peneroka membabitkan lapan rancangan dari Felda Chini dan Felda Chini Timur, Pekan memfailkan saman serta menuntut ganti rugi sebanyak RM442 juta di Mahkamah Tinggi di sini, 26 April lalu.

Pada Januari 2010, Mahkamah Persekutuan memerintahkan Felda membayar sebanyak RM11 juta sebagai ganti rugi kepada peneroka di Felda Kemahang 3, Kelantan kerana penipuan kadar perahan minyak kelapa sawit.
