So the heat was on. Friday was the dateline. They wanted Tan Sri Khalid and his team arrested that same day. And they would have to use force if necessary to get Teoh to say what the MACC wanted him to say to meet this dateline.
NO HOLDS BARRED - Raja Petra Kamarudin
Some of you may think that the
MACC Downfall Parody video is in bad taste. I mean, how can we make fun of Teoh Beng Hock’s death when we should instead be mourning him? Yes, it was a hard decision to make as to whether to publish that video or not. But we decided to do it anyway not with intent to make fun of Teoh’s death but to reveal the real circumstances behind his death. And the video best describes the events behind what really happened.Many months ago, soon after Perak fell, Malaysia Today had revealed the plan to bring down the Pakatan Rakyat state governments of Selangor, Penang and Kedah. Unfortunately, instead of taking corrective measures by strengthening their defences against the onslaught, Pakatan Rakyat became embroiled in inter-party and intra-party bickering. And most of the bickering was about petty and personal issues involving personalities and egos.
Perak was supposed to be the beginning. Selangor, Penang and Kedah were supposed to follow suit. In time, all the states under Pakatan Rakyat, save Kelantan, would be back in the hands of Barisan Nasional.The Selangor plan was simple. The Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, and a few of the Selangor State EXCO Members would be arrested for corruption. They would be held a day or so in the lockup and then dragged to court to be charged. The trial would be speedy so that their resignations or disqualifications would come fast. And that would be the end of the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government.
The modus operandi would be the same as what they did to Anwar Ibrahim in 1998. One need not actually receive money or benefit financially for it to be regarded as corruption. Even if your office is used in what could be perceived as an abuse of power or you personally instruct someone to ‘do something’ -- even if it does not involve money or financial gain -- that too would be considered corruption and you can be sent to jail.So the MACC was instructed to build a case against various people in the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government, from the Menteri Besar down to his team of EXCO Members. And to implicate these people in corruption the junior officers would be hauled in and forced to make statements that their bosses instructed them to ‘do certain things’. This would be the ‘evidence’ they use to arrest and charge the Pakatan Rakyat leaders.
We must remember, Anwar Ibrahim was arrested, charged, put on trial, pronounced guilty, and sent to jail for six years in exactly the same manner. All they needed to do was to get the Special Branch to ‘reveal’ that Anwar had instructed them to ‘interfere’ in a police investigation. And that was strong enough evidence to send Anwar to jail.This whole thing came out in Anwar’s trial back in 1998 although many did not understand the implications at that time. The Special Branch officers testified that Anwar had summoned them to his office. And in Anwar’s office they engaged in a conversation. And the conversation involved Anwar asking the Special Branch to help force the witness, Azizan Abu Bakar, to retract his allegation of sodomy.Azmin Ali, Anwar’s political secretary at that time, testified that Anwar did not summon the Special Branch officers to his office. They had in fact come to Anwar’s office with a request to meet Anwar. Azmin told them that Anwar is busy and would not be able to meet them. But they told Azmin it is important that they meet Anwar and insisted that they be allowed to meet him.And when they met Anwar they tried to persuade him to give them permission to arrest Azizan so that they could interrogate him and find out who are the ‘forces’ behind the allegation of sodomy. But Anwar was reluctant to allow them to do that and told them he would have to think about it first.Anwar then went to meet Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to seek his advice. Mahathir advised Anwar to just ignore the allegation. Mahathir said if he acted on every allegation made against him he would have no time to do any other work. The Special Branch officers came to meet Anwar again and Anwar told them what Mahathir had said. The Special Branch officers, however, insisted that Anwar allow them to arrest Azizan. This matter involves national security, they said. It is not about Anwar. It is about ‘certain forces’ plotting the downfall of the Deputy Prime Minister and it is important that the police find out who they are for the sake of the nation’s security. Finally Anwar had no choice but to say yes.
The issue is simple. Did Anwar summon the Special Branch officers to his office or was it they who came to see Anwar? And was it Anwar who wanted them to arrest Azizan or was it the Special Branch who sought permission to arrest Azizan? Anwar and Azmin said it was the Special Branch officers who came to Anwar’s office and it was they who insisted that they meet Anwar. Anwar did not summon them to his office. And Anwar did not agree for them to arrest Azizan. It was the Special Branch that insisted Anwar allow them to arrest Azizan. But before they could do that Anwar would first have to make a police report.The court accepted the Special Branch’s version of the story rather than Anwar’s and Azmin’s although during the trial the Special Branch officers testified that they were prepared to lie while on the stand if ordered to do so.
Nevertheless, Anwar was found guilty and was sent to jail.So it is not difficult to send someone to jail for corruption. All you need to do is to get someone to testify that someone instructed him or her to ‘do something’. And if that ‘something’ is considered an abuse of power then you go to jail.
The MACC wanted Teoh to say that he too was ordered to ‘do something’ by those in the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor state government. If he says that then the MACC would have a case against the Pakatan Rakyat leaders. And they wanted the whole thing done fast. It must be settled by Friday because that was the day they wanted to arrest Tan Sri Khalid and a few of his EXCO Members.So the heat was on. Friday was the dateline. They wanted Tan Sri Khalid and his team arrested that same day. And they would have to use force if necessary to get Teoh to say what the MACC wanted him to say to meet this dateline. And in their eagerness to get Teoh to talk they killed him. So the crucial witness was now dead. And they could not arrest Tan Sri Khalid and his team of EXCO Members on Friday as planned after all. So it is back to the drawing board. They will now need new ‘witnesses’. Other junior officers in the Pakatan Rakyat state government would need to be hauled in as ‘witnesses’ and would have to be made to testify under force that they had been instructed to ‘do certain things’ by ‘certain people’. Then these ‘certain people’ can be arrested and charged for corruption. And only then will the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor state government fall as planned.
Yes, watch the
MACC Downfall Parody video again. There is many a truth in that parody. The video may appear funny. It may look like it is meant as a joke. But it is not at all humorous in what they did to Teoh in their effort to bring down the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor state government.

你们有些人可能认为MACC滑稽模仿秀是没有品的。我的意思是我们怎么能以明福的死亡当乐趣,我们反而应当悼念他吧?是的,这是一个困难的决定--决定是否发布这个视频或不发。但是,我们决定做这件事不是意图以明福的死亡寻开心,但是却要暴露他真正死亡的原因。
这视频最能说明背后究竟发生了什么事。许多个月前,霹雳州陷落后,今日大马透露了扳倒民联雪兰莪,槟城和吉打州政府的计划。不幸的是,原本该采取纠正措施加强其防御力, 民联反而卷入跨党派争吵和党内争吵。而且大多数争吵起因是小气,个人的问题和涉及人物的自负。霹雳州被认为是一个开端, 接下来是雪兰莪,槟城和吉打州。随着时间的流逝,除了吉兰丹, 所有的民联州属将回到国阵的手中 。雪兰莪的计划很简单。州务大臣卡立伊布拉欣和部份的雪兰莪州行政议员将涉嫌贪污。他们将被监禁一天,然后拖到法院被起诉。审判将非常迅速的使他们辞职或被取消资格。这将结束雪兰莪州民联政府。
作案手法将同他们在1998年对安华做过的一样。一个实际上并不需要收取现金或财务受益却被视为贪污滥权的手法。即使您使用办公室可能被视为滥用权力,或你指示某人'做某些事情' -即使它并不涉及金钱或金钱利益-这也将被视为贪污滥权,而你就可以进监狱了。因此,反贪会被指示建立一个针对各雪州民联政府成员的案件,从州务大臣到他的行政议员。涉及的低级官员将被迫发表声明说,他们的上司指示他们"做某些事情"。这将是反贪会逮捕和控告民联领导人的'证据'。
我们必须要记住这将和安华被逮捕,起诉,审判,宣判有罪,并被判入狱6年的方式是完全一样的。他们需要做的,是要一个"特别部门"指控安华曾指示他们干扰警方的调查。这将是强大并足够的证据使安华入狱。这整个事情在1998年传出来,但那个时候很多人不明白安华审判的来龙去脉。"特别部门"人员作证说,安华曾传唤他们到安华的办公室。在安华的办公室,他们曾和安华进行了交谈。谈话涉及安华要求"特别部门"帮助强迫证人--阿兹赞收回对他的鸡奸指控。安华在那个时候的政治秘书--阿兹敏阿里作证说:安华并没有招"特别部门"人员到他的办公室。他们实际上是自已来到安华的办公室要求见安华。
阿兹敏阿里告诉他们,安华的公务繁忙而将无法接见。但是,他们告诉阿兹敏阿里有重要的事,并坚持他们要与安华会面。和安华会面时,"特别部门"人员试图说服安华给他们逮捕阿兹赞的许可,使他们能够审问阿兹赞并找出谁是鸡奸指控背后的主谋。但是,安华是不愿意让他们这样做,并告诉他们,他会先想一想。安华接着征求首相敦马哈迪医生的意见。马哈迪建议安华不理这一指控。马哈迪说,如果他对针对他提出的每一个指控采取行动的话,他将没有时间做其他任何的工作。"特别部门"人员再次来见安华,安华告诉他们马哈迪的说法。但是"特别部门"人员还是坚持要安华让他们逮捕阿兹赞, 因为这个问题涉及到国家安全。他们说他们不是因为安华,而是因为"某些势力"策划倒副首相, 警察要揪出他们是谁,重点是为了国家的安全。最后安华没有别的选择,只能说好的。
这个问题很简单。安华没有传唤"特别部门"人员到他的办公室,还是他们自己来见安华?是安华希望他们逮捕阿兹赞,还是"特别部门"人员寻求许可逮捕阿兹赞?安华和阿兹敏阿里说,这是"特别部门"人员来到安华的办事处,因此,他们坚持他们要见安华。安华没有传唤他们到他的办公室。安华不同意他们逮捕阿兹赞。这是"特别部门"人员坚持安华让他们逮捕阿兹赞。但在此之前安华首先必须报警。法院接受了"特别部门"人员版本的故事,而不是安华的和阿兹敏阿里的。虽然"特别部门"人员作证说,他们准备说谎,如果被下令这样做。尽管如此,安华被裁定罪名成立,被送往监狱。因此,贪污滥权不难送人到监狱。所有你需要做的是让某人作证,有人指示某人那样做 。如果那被认为是滥用权力,那么你将被送往监狱。
反贪局希望明福说,他也被那些雪州民联政府的人命令"做一些事"。如果他说了,当时的反贪局将有一个案件针对雪州民联政府的领导人。他们希望整个事情很快的加以解决,因为这个星期五,他们想逮捕州务大臣卡立伊布拉欣和部份的雪兰莪州行政议员。热火在延烧着。星期五是最后期限。他们希望丹斯里卡立伊布拉欣和他的团队在同一天被捕。如果有必要他们(MACC)得使用武力,逼赵明福说出反贪局想要听的话,以赶的及最后期限。他们急着逼赵明福说出反贪局想要听的话因此失手导置明福死亡。
所以,关键证人现在死了。他们无法按计划在周五逮捕丹斯里卡立伊布拉欣和他的雪兰莪州行政议员。因此,回到现实。他们现在需要新的证人。涉及的低级官员将被迫发表声明说,他们的上司指示他们"做某些事情"。那么这些'某些人'可以被拘捕,并被指控为贪污滥权。只有这样,扳倒民联雪兰莪才能按计划进行。
是的,再看反贪局滑稽模仿秀视频。有许多事实在被模仿。视频可能会出现奇怪的事。它可能看起来像一个玩笑。但他们并没做了什么幽默的事,而是要利用明福努力的推翻雪兰莪民联州政府。
