This news report is intriguing. Files must be reopened to serve justice. Law enforcers must not be allowed to traverse justice for their own ends.’
Ex-CCID (Commercial Crimes Investigation Department) chief Ramli Yusuff is a brave man for his act of exposing the dark side of ex-IGP Musa Hassan when the latter was found protecting Johor kingpin Goh Cheng Poh aka Tengku Goh.
The episode now coming into the full glare of general public confirms the widely-held perception that indeed every government institution has been rendered ineffective, unprincipled and off-tangent to its stated goal.
How can the public cooperate with police given the understanding that they are working hand in glove with underworld elements – the very people they should protect Malaysians from?
As I often said, one cannot ask a thief to catch another thief; neither can one expect a monkey to look after his banana.
It looks like the only way out to save Malaysia is by replacing this corruption-infested, unprincipled and self-glorified regime that places people’s interests last.
Anonymous_3f4a: This news report is intriguing. Files must be reopened to serve justice. Law enforcers must not be allowed to traverse justice for their own ends, otherwise the country will slide into anarchy and lawlessness.
Public trust and confidence in these agencies are already at the lowest ebbs, failures to right what has been wronged would further erode such sentiments and Najib’s public apologies for the past mistakes are not worth their salt.
Sarawakian_3ff9: For their own sake, the police force should come out in large numbers and demand for justice for their fellow officers – officers who did their job too well, one might add. Organise a public protest and demand justice.
Malaysians and the opposition will surely stand with them. It’s time the police get their pride back instead of being looked upon by Malaysians as BN goons.
Musa and attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail are the worst crime fighters the country had ever seen. Instead of fighting crimes, they are in the thick of it, associating themselves with the worst people on the planet.
A royal commission should be set up, but the Najib government will never accede to it. It would mean exposing themselves. Both Gani and Musa will be protected so long as BN is in power.
Playfair: Anyone who believes that this tussle is between ‘good cops’ versus ‘bad cops’ is in delusion.
This episode was, and is, an outright turf war between shadowy warlords for personal gains and the settling of vendettas. It is just the tip of the iceberg as to how deep these people are involved in.
Of course, one can add to PM Najib Razak’s slogan of “I scratch your back, you scratch mine”, which represents the same sort of subversion against what is morally right.
Would I want to have any of the protagonists as a future IGP? God forbid.
Anonymous_3e86: Our country is run by criminals.
Up2U: No wonder, many do not want to be whistleblower for what protection can you get if the AG (attorney-general) and IGP (inspector-general of police) can use the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) to expose you and force you to change your statement?
Najib must do the correct thing and remove the AG. But then in doing so, one wonders whether more Altantuya Shaariibuu materials will surface.
Open Minded: In Malaysia, there are legalised criminals, thieves, plunderers and liars in high places who are also licensed to commit wrongdoings with the blessings of the powers-that-be.
Do not fall for the PM’s suddenly magnanimous actions to throw us off track and keep him and his cheating lot in power.
James1067: How long are you going to run and hide. History have taught us that whatever your position in power, it will one day destroy you if you rule by the gun.
Innocent lives have been destroyed, people have been threatened and abused physically, just so you can remain in power.
God is slow in dishing out justice because he gives time for man to repent. When it’s not forthcoming, he has to take action.
Sentinel: We need a man with the herculean rectitude of Frank Serpico to clean up the Polis di Raja (Royal Malaysian Police) for the task is as formidable as cleaning up the Augean stables.
As for Gani Patail, we have the word Manjeet Singh Dhillon, a respected lawyer, that he attempted to suborn S Nallakarupan into fabricating stories of the worst kind of moral turpitude against former deputy premier Anwar Ibrahim.
The man is not cut out for the august office of AG.
Pemerhati: The bizarre case of the ex-IGP, AG and an underworld boss is no less bizarre than the way Dr Mahathir Mohamad stole billions of the people’s money and jailed Anwar on trumped-up charges with the active help of Musa and Gani Patail.
For doing the dirty work for Mahathir and proving to him that they were thoroughly unprincipled and loyal lap dogs of Umno, they were rapidly promoted to the top positions.
As long as they did all the dirty work they were ordered to do by Umno and protected them for their criminal wrongdoings (e.g. the murder of Altantuya and the theft of billions of the people’s money), they could carry out their own criminal and crooked activities and earn millions by getting kickbacks from the underworld.
Mahathir, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Najib would have known this but they did not take any action as they also needed protection from them for their own illegal and criminal activities.
Always Malaysian: This is the best opportunity for our PM to show his sincerity to eradicate corruption. Set up a RCI or at least appoint a capable and clean police team to investigate the complaints.
Bluemountains: I will bet my last dollar that there won’t be a RCI to investigate the role of the AG and the ex-IGP in relation to the Tengku Goh’s case. It can be disastrous for some top politicians as the duo may spill the beans on their criminal activities.
You help me, I help you. Only the rakyat become the real suckers.

A gentleman’s guide to lying
Once you know the rules of fine lying, there is no awkwardness in enjoying blogging with the evil of the Indian-Muslin leaders’s company. Perhaps there is a lesson in here for Fairo@Indiamuslim.com
Who needs whimpering men trying hard to connect to their emotional side? Studies show that men are just as sensitive as women, and they don’t need tears to prove that!In an era that prides itself on ripping away dreamy veils to reveal ugly truths, a sense of mystique is a rare, undervalued commodity!

Small lies are not as innocuous as they may seem; they have the huge potential to undermine your credibility and relationships
Small lies are not as innocuous as they may seem; they have the huge potential to undermine your credibility and relationships
“Hey come on, I didn’t really lie! Just a small holding back of facts about such an innocuous matter. I just wanted to avoid a discussion…that’s hardly a lie!”
And yet you feel betrayed, hurt and upset… Sounds familiar?
“Are you crazy? I am NOT having an affair…we just exchanged a few flirtatious messages…how can that be wrong!”
And yet you feel wronged, betrayed and hurt…
For it is these little lies and betrayals that make a big difference to one’s credibility and to the quality of a relationship, whether personal or professional. The bigger lies that have the potential of blowing up in the face could remain unknown and hidden forever, thus not really causing any harm. The smaller lies that you unthinkingly and carelessly blurt out, not just get caught all the time, but also lay the foundation of how dependable or trustworthy a person or relationship is!
WHAT DATUK IQBAL ALLAHPITCHAI AND HIS GANG HAS DONE FOR THE HIS SOCIETY WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PRIORITIES OF THE INDIAN MUSLIM LEADERSHIP SHOULD BE TODAY?READMOREHTTP://MALAYSIAONLINETODAY.WORDPRESS.COM/2010/01/28/STOP-MEDDLING-INTO-OUR-AFFAIR-AND-THE-CALL-COME-FROM-PERMIM-GEPIMA-UBAIDI-FOUNDATION-FORCING-THIS-TAXIDRIVER-TO-C
It was Adolf Hitler who coined the expression “Big Lie”, distinguishing it from the small lies. He used the Big Lie as a propaganda technique. As he said in Mein Kampf, “… in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods…”
This is the principle adopted today by marketing agencies and propaganda machines when they furnish us with Big Lies on a regular basis with the help of mass media. However, the big lie is not something most of us would be familiar with in our daily lives. Sure, all of us would have indulged in some falsehood or the other sometime in life, but these are the small, everyday lies that either help us through a situation, or may have become a chronic habit!
Some people tell a small lie to avoid confrontation; others do so to avoid hurting someone, or so as not to rock the boat in a relationship. Some may lie to live up to fantasies they have about themselves, such as the size of their bungalow, the make of their car or the wealth they own. Still other chronic liars may have entrapped themselves so much into small lies that their entire life may have become a Big Lie that they have to willynilly live up to now! One wonders how these people feel about themselves. For instance, we have cases of people who have wrongly claimed to be POWs of World War II and spent a lifetime claiming compensation for the same and being finally caught out! Surely what must have started off as a small lie one day for such a person, and took over his entire life slowly, must have throttled him in private? Surely somewhere his conscience would have felt some relief when he was caught and finally could stop lying? A lie is a lie; there are no big or small ones. Similarly, a betrayal is a betrayal; it doesn’t have varying degrees of acceptability!
Likewise, a theft doesn’t gain any more acceptability if the amount stolen is less. The point is that if you have been able to convince yourself to indulge in what you consider a smaller evil, the bigger one follows in good time. Lying, stealing, cheating is first an act of betrayal to you yourself, then to anyone else. You are the one who draws the lines and defines the limits for yourself and for your relationship. Certainly how true you are to yourself and to your loved one decides the quality and strength of your relationship. At a workshop conducted by Shobhaa De, when she asked a group of women to answer the question, ‘Who am I?’ to the amazement of all one woman stood up and proclaimed, “I am a thief, a cheat and a liar!” Shobhaa goes on to quote the woman, “I cheat on my husband by feigning interest in his conversation at the end of a long day, when all I want to do is put my feet up and relax. I lie to my bosses and pretend to be sick when I want to spend time with my baby daughter. And I call myself a thief for stealing time which does not belong to me to pursue my personal interests during work hours.” The woman is a rare example of transparent honesty, such as most of us would hesitate to admit even to our ownselves! But it is true, isn’t it? At some level, we are all dishonest. Now call this a small dishonesty, or a big one — it is all about how you want to make yourself feel! We all have ways of making ourselves feel good. So, yes of course, these are all small lies.
But, are they really? Why then do you need to tell yourself yet another lie in order to feel better?
How often have you heard a man say, “I fail to understand, why is everything my fault?” This intimidation, to me, is the reason most men refuse to let their guard down around women! A guy feels he is always under a microscope around a woman, being examined for various flaws! One wrong step; a mismatched outfit; an insensitive word; the slip of an eye or tongue; a delay, or just the wrong facial expression – he can be blamed for anything, any time!
