Rafizi Ramli Déjà vu Mind-Boggling Injustice

NFCorp wants PKR leaders charged with disclosing private bank documents


Déjà vu?


Aliran published the following:


... that [Lim Guan Eng] was first charged with falsely and maliciously publishing pamphlets in the following words: (Lim Guan Eng v Public Prosecutor (1998) 3 MLJ 14.)


The Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik sex scandal. Wither justice and women's rights. Victim imprisoned, criminal free.


But the fifteen old year schoolgirl had not been "imprisoned" but merely "detained" by the police. The statement in the pamphlet was therefore false and held to be malicious.


Second, Lim Guan Eng was held to have uttered the words, "that he was dissatisfied with the fact that the court had ordered the minor to be detained for three years whereas Rahim, who should have been imprisoned for violating the law, was instead set free".


It is important to note that while the accused was held to have published the word "imprisoned" he had uttered in his speech the word "detained".


In any event, this utterance was held by the court to be sedition because it had the tendency "to bring into hatred or contempt or .. excite disaffection against the administration of justice in Malaysia..."


This, in a nutshell was the case against Lim Guan Eng, the Member of Parliament for Kota Melaka. This is the reason he is serving a sentence of imprisonment for 18 months at Kajang Prison and has been disqualified from holding office. 


The million-strong is left wondering and at a loss about the constitutional oath of office of a Member of Parliament and the right and duty of an elected parliamentarian, and indeed all citizens, to comment on a matter of public concern without fear or favour.


The million-member jury will no doubt long ponder over the difference between 'imprisonment' and 'detention', especially since the girl had in open court testified that she had tried to escape from the Rehabilitation Centre but was caught after she had escaped.


The jury is also left to wonder why an elected Member of Parliament is denied the freedom of expression enjoyed by a newspaper columnist Marina Mahathir who in her article captioned Whither Justice published in the Star on 9 November 1994 prior to Guan Eng's pamphlet had stated that:
There are injustices in the law which are mind-boggling ... a gross mockery of justice ... As a woman, especially a Muslim woman, I am angry, disgusted and ashamed ... As a mother, I now have real fears for my daughter. What protection can we hope for our daughters if, in the interests of politics, a minor can be so easily sacrificed?
Indeed, my dear Datuk Paduka, the mind-boggling injustice had also affected Lim Guan Eng severely. The question we need to now ask is: will it too affect Rafizi Ramli?

  3. It is a sign of the utter shamelessness and lack of remorse of the NCF Directors ....crooks.... that they are insisting on criminalising the act of exposing those very damning documents. In any other jurisdiction with higher standards of accountability, these directors would have taken a deep bow and resigned as a prelude to the humiliating trials which would be coming to them.

    These bunch of crooks are incredibly out of touch with the mood of the country, though. If BN/UMNO tries another stunt like the 1994 injustice perpetrated against Lim Guan Eng, it will be one more nail in its coffin, whic is already in advanced stage of completion.

  7. Shahreezar is going to be appointed as the new ceo of MAS, wherebyshe will be able to siphon off another RM1 billion.

    Tajuddin will be appointed the new NFC bos, with another soft "loan" (read "gift") of RM500 million given FOC to him.

    And this is no April Fool joke.

  11. Monster, much as I like to read your comments because they're quite enlightening at times but your relentless attacks at KTemoc makes me wonder why you keeps visiting his blog since you hate him so much? Everyone is entitled to his opinion but personal attacks and insults should be out. For your information, I'm a PR supporter and also your neighbor.

  12. he can't leave for the reason he has nowhere to go - banned and shunned or looked down upon with disdain everywhere wakakaka. This is his last refuge. You should see his deep claw marks on the sill of my blogsite as he hangs on for dear life.

    Thicked skin, he hangs on doggedly and doesn't care about dignity as he has none, knowing he will perish, wither, and be reduced to nothing if he can't play his wanted (pretentious) role of wakakaka freedom fighter, Anwar's guardian, Susan's guardian, once even kaytee's guardian, rojak maker, gado gado expert, champion of 100 comments wakakaka.

  16. "KTEMOC...Kan Te Moc??
    Nick chosen also hor lan kan"


    alamak, kotorlah mulutnya maupun fikiran. Dah jelas orang tua tu seseorang yang kita harus menjauhkan dari kanak kanak. Memang tauladan yg terjelek sekali.

    Tetapi kesian pun oleh karena dia ta'ada tempat lain bersuara. Kemungkinan besar bahwa anaknya sendiri pun lari kuat dari dia wakakaka, jadi dia tetap disini sebagai last refuge wakakaka, tetapi nak buat berani sebagai johan (dalam imaginasinya wakakaka) mempertahankan AI, seperti dia dulu katakan pempertahankan Susan maupun saya wakakaka.

    Hero kosong
    Pahlawan zero
    Pandai bohong
    Penuh frusko

    wakakaka

  19. Anon of 12:55 PM, April 02, 2012, I take your advice. I have tried to accommodate him but he's gone wild. I admit teasing him but didn't expect such vile obscenities from a supposedly senior citizen. He's persona non grata here

  24. This much I can say about Mr.Monsterball
    He is right that Mr.Ktemoc is a sunk to approve so many of his private details.
    Mr.Ktemoc, that is not teasing.
    Mr.Monsterball is right.
    You are vicious and twist like a snake.
    He is the winner for freedom of speeches and expressions.
    You are a poor looser.

  25. What is going on?

  26. As much as I hate Monsterball, ktee has no right to delete all his comments.
    If it is all teasing, monsterball is smart enough not to go that far.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I can see few are reading and coming out to defend Monster.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I read in office and admire Monsterball.
    Mr.Ktemoc went far beyond teasing.
    I will not visit his blog anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Me too. Goodbye Ktemoc.
    You are no gentleman.
    As much as I dislike Monsterball foul words, he has the rights to express himself.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am an UMNO member and it is by reading Mr. Monsterball comments in few blogs for years that I am convinced to vote for PR.
    What have you contributed to our country and people with your cunning character picking on Mr.Monsterball from the start; when he defended Anwar?
    Mr.Ktemoc, like Mr.Monsterball said, you dare not reveal details of yourself, yet you keep on approving comments; revealing his face, name and house address.
    That is not teasing.
    His demand for you to apologize is for that and you keep twisting like a snake.

  33. Hee hee hee....the monster rounded up all his anwarita kakis to break KT's will.....aiya, too late and too little la...

    See latest recent postings...HAHAHA...semua clear of obscene comments by the monster who did nothing but just to run down and insult the blog owner.

    We all knew this day would come...the banishment of the monster, hee hee.

    Amazing how much filth KT have endured so far....kalau bagi saya, sudah lama potong la... tak tahan la dengan macam macam insult and fabrication keluar dari mulut shithole monster tu.

    RIP ya, monster. You are only allowed to comment a bit here at this particular posting ( KT still generous to the last, hehe )...yang lain, poocit lah...finito, habis.

    May be you could get new addr and new nick if still wanna comment ? Tetapi, cuci mulut ngan sabun dulu ya, hee hee hee. Padan muka yang tebal tu.
