KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 23 — Ruling Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s 2008 arrest for sodomy to be legal, the High Court here today reversed its earlier decision to exclude evidence obtained following the opposition leader’s detention then.

Judge Datuk Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah made the decision this morning.

Anwar’s defence lawyers recently won a ruling in which all evidence retrieved from the lock-up during the period — a towel, toothbrush and mineral water bottle as well all DNA samples relating to the items — was expunged.

The prosecution, however, asked the court to review that ruling, resulting in two submissions by the prosecution — one demanding a review of the ruling, and another urging the court to compel Anwar to provide his DNA samples for reference to those found in complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s anus.

Today, Mohd Zabidin said the presentation of the warrant of arrest by the prosecution proved that Anwar’s arrest was within legal jurisdiction.

“Now, in light of evidence of IO and arresting officer, arrest is indeed lawful.

“Detention of the accused could no longer [be] said [to] be done to obtain DNA (illegally)... the court allows those items to be tendered as evidence,” said the judge.

(All emphasis, mine)
Since Hishamuddin's "special squad" from PDRM to investigate the matter is proven incompetent beyond all doubt, let's not blame the PDRM any longer ... OR BLAME the moronic NAZRI FOR MAKING PORN LEGAL (if it is done with good intentions).

Now- WILL HISHAMUDDIN'S INSTRUCT PDRM TAKE ACTION?

Saya dihubungi oleh seorang kenalan yang sangat rapat bermula sejak 15 Mac 2011 untuk berjumpa dengannya mengenai sesuatu yang penting. Pada hari Isnin 21 Mac 2011 lebih kurang jam 12.20 tengahari, saya mengesahkan bahawa saya ada ruang untuk bertemu beliau.

Saya berjumpa dengannya di Hotel De Palma Ampang jam 4 petang hari itu, sebelum dibawa di dalam sebuah kereta yang lain. Kereta itu dipandu oleh dua orang yang saya tidak kenali.

Saya dibawa ke Hotel Flamingo Ampang, seterusnya dibawa ke sebuah bilik junior suite. Saya bertemu Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik dan Dato’ Eskay Shazril Abdullah yang telah menunggu di dalam bilik tersebut. Saya turut disertai oleh kenalan saya tadi.

Saya duduk di depan Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik sementara Dato’ Eskay Shazril Abdullah duduk di sebelah saya. Kenalan saya tadi duduk di atas katil di belakang di dalam bilik tersebut.

Dato’ Eskay Shazril Abdullah mula bercakap dan mengatakan bahawa saya (“Johari Abdul”) adalah ahli Parlimen yang pertama akan menyaksikan tayangan video yang sedang mula dimainkan itu. Dia juga meminta pandangan saya mengenai Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Sepanjang tayangan video tersebut, Dato’ Eskay Shazril Abdullah menjadi suara latar menerangkan beberapa perkara. Contohnya, dia menyentuh bagaimana cara individu terbabit menanggalkan kondom selepas perlakuan berakhir mempunyai risiko air mani akan terpercik ke kawasan yang besar. Menurutnya, tabiat itulah yang menyebabkan Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim sering meninggalkan bahan bukti seperti yang berlaku dalam kes liwat pertama tahun 1998 dulu.

Dia juga mendakwa bahawa dia selalu membawa Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim ke club house di mana berlakunya kejadian itu dan tempat-tempat lain di Thailand seolah-olah ini perkara yang kerapkali dibuat oleh Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Menurutnya, setiap kali dia membawa Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim ke tempat itu, bilik itulah (yang dirakamkan) yang digunakan Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim sementara dia (Dato’ Eskay) menggunakan bilik bersebelahan. Dalam percakapan seterusnya, dia menyatakan kebimbangan kononnya rakaman-rakaman video seperti itu telah dipunyai oleh pihak perisikan Thai.

Sepanjang penayangan video tersebut, Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik kerap mencelah dan membuat komen pendek yang memburukkan Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Saya percaya beliau cuba meyakinkan saya bahawa Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim adalah seorang yang tidak bermoral dan tidak layak menjadi seorang pemimpin.

Selepas penayangan video tersebut, Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik mula bercakap. Dia memujuk supaya saya meninggalkan KEADILAN dan Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Dia berjanji untuk bbawa saya berjumpa dengan Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak. Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik juga menyebut bahawa dia akan uruskan segala keperluan kewangan dan keselamatan saya.

Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik juga cuba meyakinkan saya untuk membawa dan memujuk lebih ramai Ahli Parlimen KEADILAN berjumpanya, supaya dapat dipujuk keluar parti. Dia meminta saya mengepalai kumpulan Ahli-ahli Parlimen KEADILAN ini. Saya tidak memberikan komitmen, selain mendengar komen-komen yang dibuat.

Selepas itu, saya keluar dan diiringi oleh kenalan rapat saya itu. Di dalam lif, saya memeluknya dan memberitahu beliau, bahawa setelah menonton keseluruhan video tersebut, saya yakin bahawa orang di dalam video itu bukanlah Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Saya berkeyakinan bahawa pelakon itu bukan Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim berlandaskan faktor berikut:

1. Pada awal rakaman, terdapat seorang lelaki lain yang sedang menguruskan rakaman video pada ketika orang yang mirip Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim masuk ke dalam bilik. Sewajarnya orang itu (yang mirip Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim) sedar bahawa perlakuannya akan dirakam. Mustahil sesiapa yang waras akan melakukan adegan sedemikian kecuali dia diupah.

2. Tempoh masa rakaman yang menunjukkan muka si pelaku adalah terlalu pendek. Ditambah dengan rakaman yang dibuat di dalam hitam putih; menyukarkan untuk betul-betul mengesahkan identiti si pelaku.

3. Bahu si pelaku terlalu lebar dan tegap berbanding bahu Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim

4. Bahagian belakang si pelaku (punggong) juga berisi dan jelas berbeza dengan tubuh badan Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

5. Di akhir adegan, si pelaku bangun dan tubuh badannya dirakam dengan jelas. Perutnya adalah buncit dan terlalu besar jika dibandingkan dengan perut Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

6. Warna kulitnya adalah terlalu cerah dan hampir tidak dapat dibezakan dengan warna kulit wanita terlibat.

Selepas itu, saya menyatakan kesediaan untuk membawa beberapa orang ahli Parlimen KEADILAN agar mereka juga dapat menonton video dan berjumpa dengan Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik. Saya dimaklumkan sessi tayangan seterusnya akan dibuat kepada ahli-ahli Parlimen KEADILAN pada jam 330 petang 22 Mac 2011. Kami hadir semalam di Hotel Flamingo Ampang dan menunggu hingga jam 530 petang, oleh kerana mereka telah sahkan bahawa perjumpaa akan berlaku. Walau bagaimana pun, perjumpaan itu dibatalkan oleh pihak mereka.

Saya mengambil risiko membuat kenyataan ini diluar Dewan Rakyat kerana saya yakin bahawa episod terbaru ini adalah satu lagi rencana jahat untuk memfitnah Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Justifying the Subversion of the Federal Constitution?

======================================

"I locked my gate to protect my family from unwanted intrusion.
One day, without reason I thought that
my family may be disturbed by my neighbours.
I went over to my neighbours
and locked their gate to stop them from coming out.

When my neighbours complained,
I said, "I locked my gate too and why can't I lock yours?"
"

=====================================

The stamping of the Bibles issue has been at the forefront of the many manufactured controversies of late, and we've had many people making comments on it. Many have seemed to have lost the plot- they seem to belive that just because Malaysian Muslim have accepted (willingly or otherwise) the KDN as their thought/religious police, it is justified for them to do the same with other religions.

It seems to me that the Umno regime is doing everything within the realm of possibilities to control every aspect of Malaysian life in the name of "National Security".
Non-Islamic religions appear to be one of the few institutions which seems to be beyond their control as of now- and they're now using the power of the Islamic Institutions to justify encroaching upon the constitutional liberties they enjoy. As days go by, it becomes increasingly obvious that having had control over Islam, they now wish to control other religions as well- hence imposing the "sentiments/opinions" of certain ignorant people & discredited religious bureaucrats upon the practice of other religions.
If they succeed at doing this- all religious freedom will soon be lost forever- as it "may

They seem to have forgotten that the Federal Constitution protects the rights & independence of each and every religion to manage their own affairs.
Let's take a look at what the Federal Constitution says .....

Article number: 11
(1)Every person has the right to profess and practice his religion and, subject to Clause (4), to
propagate it.
(2) No person shall be compelled to pay any tax the proceeds of which are specially allocated in whole or in part for the purposes of a religion other than his own.
(3) Every religious group has the right -
(a) to manage its own religious affairs;
(b) to establish and maintain institutions for religious or charitable purposes; and
(c) to acquire and own property and hold and administer it in accordance with law.

(4) State law and in respect of the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Lubuan, federal law
may control or restrict the propagation of any religious doctrine or belief among persons
professing the religion of Islam.
(5) This Article does not authorize any act contrary to any general law relating to public order, public health or morality.

Now- Which part exactly, of the above, don't these KDN guys understand?
When and from where exactly did they get the authority to scrutinize Bibles when they have no knowledge of Christian Theology or the different schools of thought?
When exactly did they get the authority to decide how one of another religion worships?
As it is they have been using taxpayers' money to fund Islamic institutions - which runs contrary to Clause (2)- which Malaysians don't complain about .... now they tell us they have to scrutinize our scriptures?

Here is what Wong Chun Wai of The Star had to say in Find a way out of this deadlock :-

"But when the stamping is done by the authorities, it takes on a different dimension."

"In short, if it is not an issue in Sabah and Sarawak, why is there a need to complicate the matter? We do not have to be experts of the Constitution to know that state enactments cannot supersede the Federal Constitution.....


Religion may be state matters but the Federal Constitution reigns supreme with the guarantee of freedom to profess and practise one’s religion (Article 11).

In fact, the decision to stamp the words “For Christians Only” could well be unconstitutional. The Federal Constitution is very clear on the right of Malaysians to religious freedom, .....


But there is no evidence that these imported Bibles would be used to propagate to Muslims. By putting conditions such as serial numbers and stamping “For Christians Only” on the Bibles, the authorities could well be exceeding their powers and even infringe the Federal Constitution."

It appeared that he articulated the sentiments of the Christians quite well and you would've thought that this guy actually was a Christian ..... until .... he, in his usual BN Apologist fashion, changes his tune towards the end, and appears to suggest that "we accept this travesty of justice & humiliation and move on" by with the following very "spiritual" and nauseating advice:

"In this season of Lent, as we pray and prepare ourselves for Easter with repentance, fasting, spiritual discipline and moderation, let us remind ourselves that the Bible only comes alive because of our faith. The Bible, in the most perfect condition, will remain useless if it is just left on the shelf, untouched."
So much for Wong Chun Wai .....

They want to tell us that what we do among non-Muslims, shakes the faith of Muslims, and hence they should control us?? (I cannot imagine a bigger insult upon my faith if a cleric tells me that my faith can be shaken by the act of another- but many Muslims seem to be quite approving of this opinion of themselves .... but that's their choice though).
As it is they have forced Christian symbols off the many reputable schools they set up. Next they'll be telling us that any act of worship, or maybe even the public celebration of other festivals unless Muslim- would shake the faith of Muslims, has to be forbidden!

==============================
I feel hopeless that the fact my church is constantly under attack because someone somewhere feels it’s a brilliant political strategy to “pinch the baby and rock the cradle”.
I feel incredulous at the thought that the government, clerics, the Home Ministry, Umno, Perkasa, the Muslim consumers association are being consulted over Christian Bibles!

-Stop oppressing the Christians — Emmanuel Joseph
====================================

It is beyond comprehension, how some people (like our Home Minister of the kris-wielding fame, Mr Hishamuddin or even the sms-sending Harussani) can justify subverting the Federal Constitution, based on "a feeling" that the arabic word "Allah" should only be used in an Islamic context in the interest of "national security" ..... an opinion which incidently doesn't seem to have anything to support it whatsoever- religious or historical.

However, the sad truth is- there are some pseudo-intellectual unthinking souls choose to blindly submit & kowtow to these subversives who intend to override the Federal Constitution- what more, the man on the street- in the interest of "national security". Maybe these guys will submit to a Malaysian Hitler some day- when he decides that all non-Muslim Malaysians need serial numbers tattooed on their foreheads ... as it will only be in the interests of "national security", of course!
They'll then probably say, "It is only a tattoo, just accept it and move on with life okay- what is important is you get to go on living ..."

It is mind-boggling that in this time and age, that there are people (that too, "doctors") who can actually espouse such simplistic pseudo-intellectual rationale to justify tyranny. It is hardly surprising that many men on the street are confused by all the Umno sponsored propaganda, when people who are apparently educated can come out which such twisted logic.

Anyways- Raffick, the much 'enlightened' doctor, published a picture of a KDN stamped & serialized Quran, as a justification for the home ministry's similar actions on 30,000 Bibles. What twisted logic- for that alone, anyone can be forgiven for thinking of him as an ill-bred, unthinking simpleton.
That's like a suicide bomber, saying that if he can kill himself, he has every right to kill others as well ...

But I guess, when the Umno spin-doctor - Syed Akbar Ali (a crude commenter aka "muftimurtad" back then on MalaysiaToday (click here for more info on that) before he got arrested- now appointed to the MACC much publicity & also the Pro-tem chairman of "Blog-House", apparently) can come out with advice on "ethical blogging"- anyone can be dishing out free nonsensical "advice" ....

(NOTE- I however believe that Syed Akbar's"sedition" was not only unjustified, but also, ridiculous!!)
