DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang has scoffed at Dr Mahathir Mohamad for suggesting that he wanted to see the former prime minister spend life behind bars in the event of a Pakatan Rakyat election victory.
“I do not even want to see him in jail but he must not block full investigations into the host of financial and political scandals during his 22 years as Prime Minister – not only into infamous financial scandals under his watch but also how the key national institutions in the country like the Judiciary, the civil service, Attorney-General’s Chambers, the Police, the Anti-Corruption Agency , the Election Commission were compromised and subverted to serve the behests of one man, the Prime Minister,” Lim said in his response to Mahathir’s blog posting yesterday.
The former UMNO strongman was responding to Lim’s suggestion that Mahathir had been stepping up efforts to ensure the opposition would not come to power due to fears of his past scandals being reopened by the new government.
Referring to the fate of two former Arab dictators, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi, he said Lim was hoping that a similar end would befell Mahathir.
“He would love to see me dragged to the courts and sentenced to death or to at least a life sentence. Maybe like Gadaffi I would be murdered,” wrote Mahathir in his well-known sarcasm when commenting current affairs, while listing out why he did not deserve to be prosecuted for abuse of his office.
But Lim said seeing a jailed Mahathir was the last thing on his mind.
“I do not know whether Mahathir is becoming a victim of a very fevered imagination, to the extent that he could imagine and blog that I would want him to end up like Gadaffi or Mubarak.
“Nothing is furthest from my mind but I forgive Mahathir these wild and preposterous imaginings,” said the DAP veteran leader who as parliamentary opposition leader had often got into heated arguments with Mahathir during the latter’s premiership.
Lim reminded that by mentioning Mubarak’s recent life imprisonment meted out by the Egyptian court, he was not suggesting that Mahathir too should be jailed.
“I am not suggesting that Mahathir should face jail sentences for the financial scandals in his 22-year premiership but at minimum, Malaysians are entitled to know the truth about these financial scandals which would serve as painful national lessons to prevent their recurrence,” added the Ipoh Timur member of parliament.
The transport ministry belong to MCA…so as a faithful dog..they have to keep quite and let their master UMNO do what ever they want even playing their back Another freshly minted inexperienced ciku at the helm of a company with a multi million dollar contract procured by dubious means. See the parallels of MO of senior BN ministers in screwing the country!
Well, well, well JJ, it didn’t take much to swing the spotlight back on you heh? One remembers how you (TNB) and Zarinah Anwar (Shell) were fast-tracked by Tun Kutty as the second batch of BN blue eyed boys (after batch one HS, AK, TR, VT).
Keep digging and plugging at them Nurul! Bound to be more telling revelations to enthral the rakyat after the NFC saga.
For Sharizat’s hardwork and dedication, her family was rewarded with a Rm 250 million NFC project. The danger this posed to Malaysia is that we will not be self sufficient in beef supply for another 10 years.
For Jamaluddin Jarjis’s hardwork and bottom pinching, his family was rewarded with this Rm 280 million Air Traffic System project. The danger this posed to Malaysia is that it puts all aircrafts flying in Malaysia in severe danger.
This JJ who is a close friend of Najib and is currently the Malaysian Ambasador to US ‘rewarded’ Najib badly for this Rm 280 million project. JJ blundered in his due diligence study on Daniyev Nazarbeyez. – Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai, Nurul Izzah Anwar mendapati, projek sistem baru kawalan trafik yang mengancam ruang udara negara diberi kepada keluarga menteri.
Menurutnya, dalam carian syarikat Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM), tertera nama Ikhwan Hafiz Jamaluddin iaitu ahli keluarga bekas Menteri sebagai Pengarah Tirai Variasi Sdn Bhd Advanced Air Traffic System (M) Sdn Bhd.
“…Saya tanya, dan ini belum dijawab oleh Kementerian (Pengangkutan),” katanya pada sidang media di Parlimen hari ini.
Naib Presiden KEADILAN itu turut mempersoal adakah menjadi norma Kerajaan Umno BN menganugerahkan satu daripada projek kerajaan kepada keluarga menteri.
“Apakah alasan Kementerian Pengangkutan dan Jabatan Penerbangan Awam (DCA) memberi kontrak sistem yang cukup penting ini secara rundingan tertutup?” soalnya lagi.
Beliau turut menunjukkan salinan dokumen dari SSM kepada media yang mempamerkan Ikhwan Hafiz Jamaluddin, 25, sebagai Pengarah Tirai Variasi Sdn Bhd.
Tirai Variasi adalah pemegang saham utama Advanced Air Traffic System (M) Sdn Bhd yang dianugerahkan kontrak bernilai RM280 juta itu.
Apabila ditanya wartawan mengenai kesahihan dakwaan tersebut, Izzah menjawab, kementerian patut menafikannya jika dakwaan itu tidak benar.
“Sekali lagi, saya persoalkan nama tersebut dan (saya) belum terima sebarang jawapan,” katanya.
“Saya sudah hantar surat pertanyaan (kepada Kementerian Pertahanan dan DCA) sebelum ini, namun masih belum terima maklum balas dari mereka,” jelas Izzah lagi.
Bagaimanapun, carian media mendapati Ikhwan adalah anak kepada Datuk Seri Jamaluddin Jarjis, bekas Menteri Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi.
Pada 8 Jun lalu, Izzah bersama-sama Naib Presiden KEADILAN, N Surendran dan Tian Chua menyerahkan memorandum kepada DCA mengenai sistem baru Human Trafic Interface yang membahayakan ruang udara negara.
Sistem itu turut dibangunkan bersama syarikat Selex Sistemati Integrati dari Itali yang dikaitkan dengan pelbagai tuduhan rasuah di Itali, Cyprus, Panama dan Namibia.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is studying reports lodged against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, claiming he had control over 20 statutory accounts worth RM3 billion.
MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abu Kassim Mohamed however, declined to comment further on the issue when met by reporters after attending a roundtable presentation and discussion on the national key result area (NKRA) on prevention of corruption, with foreign investors, here today. PKR deputy president Azmin Ali has asked why it took the authorities 17 years to pursue a corruption case against him. “Why didn’t they do it during 1995, ’96, ’97? It’s been 17 years since 1998.” “Whatever action that needed to be taken… should have been done 17 years ago. Why was this matter … Read more

“Whatever complaint that has elements of corruption, we can investigate, regardless of who made the complaints and who were being implicated. But I cannot say anything more because I am bound by MACC’s policy to refrain from divulging information on the investigation,” he explained.Muhyiddin Yassin, the then chief minister of the Johor state thinks we Malaysians have short memories. His hands and feet were tainted to the brim. He was lucky TDM saved him, yet he showed no gratitude at all. Pray thee, now tell me, how can he be our future PM with this kind of tainted … Read more
Murad had allegedly claimed that Anwar, as finance minister in the 90s, controlled 20 master accounts involving assets, shares and funds worth more than RM3 billion.
Meanwhile, Abu Kassim said MACC would open an investigation paper on Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Azmin Ali if it receives new evidence on claims that he had assets amounting to more than RM30 million.A classic example of farting through his mouth and talking through his ass Muhyiddin why make stupid statement and do you think we believe . Another abuse of government machinery for its harrassment of the opposition and those who don’t support BN/Umno feifdom.
