TAN SRI KHALID IBRAHIM SUES DATUK AHMAD SAID FOR LIBEL

The Sun, Monday, April 27, 2009 reports that Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim is suing MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Ahmad Said Hamdan and the Government of Malaysia over statements that Tan Sri Khalid had abused his powers.

Datuk Ahmad Said had on February 21, 2009 remarked to the effect that the investigations into the alleged misuse of power by Tan Sri Khalid over the maintenance of his personal car, and the purchase of 46 cattle during Hari Raya Aidiladha, had found reasonable evidence to prosecute Tan Sri Khalid for misuse of power. Former Selangor Menteri Besar Khir Toyo also found it opportune to ride along on the claim that Tan Sri Khalid did misuse his powers.

This will be an interesting case to watch, as it involved the boss of MACC, who in this instant was seen to have acted beyond his powers and function, by uttering a statement that ‘inferred a judgment’ over a case under his investigation, which rightly is the exclusive powers and functions of the Attorney General.

I am quite sure Datuk Ahmad Said knows the limits of his powers, and that his function is merely to conduct an investigation to determine the facts of a case. Should the investigation finds that there is a case to answer, it is then referred to the Attorney General office who will then decide whether to proceed with the case or otherwise. Certainly, it is not Datuk Ahmad Said who is to decide or to infer whether there is a case to answer or otherwise.

I am also watching keenly whether Tan Sri Khalid will take a similar action on Khir Toyo, who was the person to have blown the case out of proportion, and for MACC to have acted in a flash over this case. I am just wondering whether MACC would want to do the same for the many cases of abuse of power by Khir Toyo, that is presently being investigated by the Selangor state government.

And surely, if one were to dig into the affairs of each and every state governments, one will surely find some element of abuse by state officials and including that of the Menteri Besar. If we were to continue doing this, I am quite sure the MACC officers will not be able to get enough sleep.

Dear Datuk,
The MACC boss has no moral standing at all. This jerk, Ahmad Said, said titles of the video clips found in his son’s laptop computer were misleading. “I can bet with you that it’s something that you will find on most men’s handphones,” So do any of us carry porn in our handphones? He is morally and spiritually a lost cause and he is supposed to uphold the law. He was excusing away his son's criminal offence.

Dear Datuk,
Hope you are well .
Just to inform you that the Malaysian Airlines pilot recently convicted in Australia for possession of child pornography is a declared Malay, Muslim , AHMAD SHAUQI BIN AHMAD SAID, staff number 1086993 and is non other than the son of the Director General of the Anti- Corruption Agency of Malaysia , DATUK SERI PANGLIMA HAJI AHMAD SAID BIN HAMDAN who has himself come to a CORRUPT agreement with IDRIS JALA , the Managing Director and others in Malaysia Airlines , ‘ not to take disciplinarry action as required in the company policy ‘ against his son for his criminal conviction.
I will be forwarding this information worldwide to educate them on the state of affairs in Malaysia and they can evaluate for themselves the Government’s declarations of truth , cleanliness, transparency, Islam Had etc. Drugs was one thing but sometimes , this child porn strikes different cords !!!!! Who cares about technicalities ?
I guess god is helping me to punish the criminals who have tried to destroy me and my family for being professional. God must also realise that I was also injured for being INDIAN in MALAYSIA .
Thank you
Captain Reinu Balakrishnan
