Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and Muhammad Shafee Abdullah will finally have to resigned, the operative word being ‘finally’. It has taken the government a lot to reach this point, and the final call was taken apparently because of Rosmah’s push. On the face of it, the decision to make Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and Muhammad Shafee Abdullah to resign..by quizing Mahathir’s balls there is much that is disturbing, if not outright shocking about the judgment in Muhammad Shafee Abdullah as Attorney-General for the appeal on sodomy 2 there is much that is disturbing, if not outright shocking in case. It is not just that the evidence used is circumstantial at best, but it is in the manner in which speculative conjecture has become bland certitude and airy theories have been taken to be established facts.l
viewed very seriously the alleged tampering The need to evade responsibility both on part of the individuals as well as the government till as long as possible is a part of a larger narrative that goes beyond these instances or indeed this government. It seems to be part of a growing tendency to frame all debates in the vocabulary of the extreme. Demands are conceived of in the extreme, and deadlock prevails till some overwhelming force gets applied. Nothing happens without the intervention when they give direct orders, or the party high command when it exerts direct influence on a subjectIn a complex world, the desire for simple answers that are the result of the use of superior force is potentially dangerous. For it translates into a desire for seductive forms of clarity and a susceptibility to the shallow symbol.Exploring shaded modes of resolution, staying in intermediate zones of accommodation and negotiation, being comfortable with the idea of give-and-take makes all problems seem intractable.
Sometimes viewed very seriously the alleged tampering the formidable morphs into the pathetic. For a long time, the Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, with its potent combination of powerful interests seemed to carry such sweeping and overwhelming force that it looked to be above any challenge, criticism or scandal.
Public discourse in that Abdul Gani had gone to Hong Kong to deposit money paid to lose the Pulau Batu Puteh sovereignty case. appears to be passing through its darkest hour.Then surely the the Justice Secretary Rimsky Yuen, Hong Kong Public Prosecution Director Keith Yeung and a Hong Kong parliamentarian James To, seeking a collaboration to investigate claims that there was a huge amount of money banked into Gani’s account there can show us some money trail? Then the “Why was the decision overturned?” question would become merely a case of administrative decision making, and not corruption. Sure, the authorities would have to reply to the public about why the decision was overturned, but the would have no case at all.When Barisan , Pakatan, politicians and public commentators stoop so low as to invoke Adolf Hitler and his despicable Nazi ideology to score political brownie points, it becomes increasingly clear that something is seriously wrong with our polity. Are we truly that devoid of pressing issues that we need to worry about As a nation, we face serious problems that need urgent solutions. Isn’t it shameful that even after 55 years of independence, our citizens remain perpetually dependent upon to establish any criminal case of corruption, there must be someone charged with giving money and someone with receiving. Who are those people here?
This latest attempt to divert the nation’s attention away from tangible issues is more than apparent. Although some quarters might justify these tactics as fair game it reeks of political desperation –The stark truth is that voters demanding an honest account of how public funds have been squandered over the past decade, and certainly not fanciful analogies that vilify legitimately elected representatives , withthis writer who made the analogy being considered to have lost the argument,largesse to fulfil their most basic needs? What kind of token independence is this? Socioe conomically disadvantaged Malaysians are designed to remain ‘in-dependence’ of Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail – forced to trade their moral permanent indignity.
PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli said Mat Zain had taken a bold stand in unveiling many issues on corruption in his recent sworn statement and since he had taken a bold stand, his words cannot be taken lightly.Rafizi said that although the statement by Mat Zain was made and circulated one month ago, no concrete action had been announced.

“I view very seriously the alleged tampering and corruption elements involved in the handling of the Pulau Batu Puteh case which was lost, involving Gani.
“Elsewhere, it would have turned a country upside down as it is a matter of a country’s territory, but here, it is being taken lightly,” he added.
Rafizi also cited a paragraph from Mat Zain’s statement on the Pulau Batu Puteh issue, which was a quote allegedly said by Umno lawyer Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah to Mat Zain.
“You will not believe your eyes if you were to see the amount of cash that was transferred into Gani’s account in Hong Kong,” Shafee allegedly told Mat Zain.
“As the National Oversight and Whistleblower Centre (NOW Centre) executive director, I have decided to call the Hong Kong authorities for a probe.”
Rafizi said NOW Centre had forged strong ties with Hong Kong authorities during an investigation carried on Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman in the country last year.
“I will send a report and official request to the Justice Secretary Rimsky Yuen, Hong Kong Public Prosecution Director Keith Yeung and a Hong Kong parliamentarian James To, seeking a collaboration to investigate claims that there was a huge amount of money banked into Gani’s account there.”
Rafizi said that Hong Kong authorities possess the power to investigate monetary transactions in Hong Kong should it be suspected to contain elements of corruption or money laundering.
“I believe that if investigations can be initiated in Hong Kong, the Malaysian government will have no choice but to cooperate on the matter and formulate the necessary steps to temporarily suspend Gani’s services pending the probe,” he said, adding that he would not be handing over any evidence to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on the issue.
“No, I will not pass them anything as they will not budge. I have sent stacks and stacks of information previously but nothing was done.”
“I know that we are not going to see the light of day if the investigation is left to the Malaysian authorities, so we start from elsewhere,” Rafizi told reporters during a press conference today.
PKR will lodge a report with Hong Kong’s famed anti-corruption authorities over graft allegations involving Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail (pic), ratcheting up pressure on the Attorney-General.
The report comes after revelations in a sworn statement by retired Federal Crime Investigation Department (CID) head Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim.
The statement had alleged former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had been told that Abdul Gani had gone to Hong Kong to deposit money paid to lose the Pulau Batu Puteh sovereignty case.
Perhaps the biggest reason why the sentiment around Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and Muhammad Shafee Abdullah become what it has is the absence of any easy explanation for what happened. The vacuum created by the mystery around the sodomy1 and2 has exerted an inexorable force field which demands that the consuming public’s hunger for an answer be satisfied somehow. The space created by the mystery has been filled in with any number of wild theories, half-baked suppositions and assertions based on empty speculation. The more intractable the mystery, the more open we become to believing that the truth must be something terrible. This is why the Attorney-Genera officel has got away with changing its mind so often, has managed to argue successfully that a key conclusion was a typographical error and presented experts that have modified their statements and passed off speculation as fact. As a result, the mystery has apparently solved with what most agree, is at best a theory but at least it serves the purpose of providing some kind of an explanation. The appetite has been silenced functionally, if not satisfactorilyKhairy to AG: Explain why you gave up on Ling’s case Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail should explain the reasons for not appealing against the acquittal of former transport minister Ling Liong Sik over the Port Klang Free Trade Zone (PKFZ) fiasco, said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail should be … Read more
