POLICE are investigating prominent lawyer and social activist Ambiga Sreenevasan under a rarely used section of the Penal Code, alleging that she has caused public alarm in relation to a defamation suit filed by PAS against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown. [...]
Ambiga is being investigated for allegedly providing information to Rewcastle-Brown on senior PAS leaders having received large sums of money from Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Ambiga is being investigated for allegedly providing information to Rewcastle-Brown on senior PAS leaders having received large sums of money from Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Rewcastle-Brown has named Ambiga as her source of information in alleging that top leaders in the Islamist party had received money from Najib. [...]
According to Rewcastle-Brown's defence and counterclaim statement seen by The Malaysian Insight, she said she had spoken to Ambiga in July last year regarding Najib, state investor fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad and PAS.
"Ambiga had told the defendant that her sources, whom she said were reliable, estimated the amount that had been paid was around RM90 million," said Rewcastle-Brown in her court filing dated October 11.
Rewcastle-Brown said she published parts of her conversation with Ambiga in good faith as a political commentary on a matter of public interest. [...]
In his suit, Hadi claimed that he had been defamed in a Sarawak Report article, titled "As Najib denies all over 1MDB let's not forget his many other criminal connections", published on August 6 last year.
The article suggested that money was given in exchange for PAS' support for Barisan Nasional.
In her counterclaim, Rewcastle-Brown said the claimant had provided or aided two blogs, including the Raja Petra Kamarudin-run Malaysia Today, for them to run articles to harass her.
"The harassment has caused the defendant (Rewcastle-Brown) severe stress, anxiety and distress, for which she claims damages."
Rewcastle-Brown also applied for an injunction to stop Hadi from further harassing her.
There are a couple of points to be gleaned from the article by The Malaysian Insight, namely:
1. Claire Newcastle seems pretty brittle - for a so-called journalist who boasts of big-time exposure of so & so or this & that, she has been easily rattled on this case, claiming harassment from Hadi Awang and, wakakaka, RPK.
Strange isn't it, considering she did not feel 'harassed' when exposing Peh-Mor. Perhaps she was then on firmer grounds?
2. It has been a 'holy' tenet of journalism that a journalist/reporter does NOT reveal his/her sources, which has been why we have come to learn of special 'nicks' like 'Deep Throat' or a 'Lil' Birdie'.
But without her fingernails being even tagged at, Claire Rewcastle Brown has squealed so loudly she would have scared away all the fruit bats of Sarawak, in ratting on Ambiga Sreenevasan as her 'source' on the alleged RM90 million bribe PM Najib provided to PAS (assuming in the first place that Ambiga was really her source).
Obviously Claire Rewcastle Brown is NOT a journalist to inspire confidence in wannabe-sources if she so readily cries "She told me so" the moment she feels 'harassed'.
I feel extremely sorry for Ambiga Sreenevasan on two (2) possible counts:
(a) If Ambiga had been the source, then she must be feeling rather wretched that the f**king journalist has failed to exercise that fundamental tenet of journalism, namely, to NEVER reveal one's source.
(b) If Ambiga had NOT been the source or was tenuously linked as a source, then she must be bloody furious for being dragged into a legal suit which did not and should not involve her.
Wakakakaka...a wannabe 'journalist' blogging on his own free time...
ReplyDeleteFurther to yr above posting, WHY not follow up with yr sifu's take of 'It is okay to attack a woman if she is Malay-Muslim but not if she is Indian-Hindu'????
Hippo will be pleased.
The impact is stronger lah.
& don't crap about it's yr blog again. U write what u like, unless it's paid! Right??
there is another theory that this was the intention all along
ReplyDeleteevery effort to get ah moi to any court in umnosia on any case has been stonewalled by his gestapo have you not notice? no you won't of course
it is pas the party that brought the case but instead you notice umno who is more concerned on the possibility that their chosen one may have to testify as a witness, on that count I'm sure ambiga wouldn't mind being fingered
What does this piece from Ambiga
ReplyDeletehttp://m.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/ambiga-how-is-being-mentioned-in-lawsuit-defence-a-crime
implies???
Possibly, Ambiga is a willing withness in Claire's countersuit!!
So, how now with yr two sorry make-up counts for Ambiga Sreenevasan??
Bila u sudah jadi her mind reader le??
Could that be the 'backroom boys' got hold of some critical 'infos' & thus the panic MO1's fanboys have to rattle & harass both Clair & Ambiga kaux2, just trying to discredit the defence in resisting the defamation action filed voluntarily by a Malaysian politician in a London court!
Look likely u r tearing yr outercover away to show yr pinklips ass-licking as yr 'kpi' demands showing as the intensity of the GE14 getting near le!
Clear the air if you are really bersih? Mala fide and malicious! How you could ever become the PRESIDENT of the Bar Council?
ReplyDeleteMoron!!!
DeleteClear what air???
This case is on going in the court of UK le.
Obviously u tak tau apa tu Mala fide and malicious in Western court of law!
Enough said lah!
kepala bapak kau
DeleteBagi MO1 ke????
DeleteWakakakaka...
"Do not be so quick to jump to conclusion.... The thing is, things are beginning to unfold. Now we know Claire’s source originated from Malaysia. By revealing her source, she gave signal to Pas to pursue the case in Malaysian court as well.
ReplyDeleteI think the title should be Clare Rewcastle Brown dropped the ball back to Hadi Awang. It is Hadi’s turn to make the next move. Either file a separate suit in Malaysian court against Ambiga or just focusing the court case in London which currently underway.
I think Ambiga was told beforehand by Clair and was already given her blessing. Ambiga has a partner/friend if here in Malaysia should Hadi decides to pursue the case against her. His name is Husam Musa.
Husam had told several times in his political rallies before that he’s got the evidence that Pas did receive money from Umno. He even named the financial institution where all alleged money flowed. He even dared Pas to sue him and vowed to produce all the evidences, alibi and witness(es) in court.
Amacam Pas? Ada berani?"
I think the above is more likely the scenario as posted by one Anon in another blog. It is a strategy cooked by the 2 brave women to lure the cobra and the rattlesnake out into the open to face justice. Btw, in this same blog, ktemoc has become quite well-known, sudah jadi famous or is it infamous, wakakaka. See, your name is mentioned here too, alongside the superstar botak :

"Looks like RPK has a new side kick in KTMOC?"
Aiyo, how many dirty old men does BN need, wakaka?"
WAKAKAKAkA.....
my post deals with 2 issues, (1) that Claire Rewcastle Brown must be so brittle to be harassed by people she reports on and (2) she shows her un-journalistic competence or integrity by squealing out Ambiga's name. That's not on in journalism.
DeleteInstead, when Hadi Awang sued her, she should just produce whatever evidence she has to back up her slander.
Who is right and who is wrong is not my topic nor concern - but you guys just love to take it beyond my scope and accuse me of pro this or anti that, and do you know why? You cannot tolerate anyone who does not support your views or who is against your stance. Very intolerant, wakakaka
I personally don't care two hoots whether I am being accused of being pro Najib or a sidekick of RPK - thus far you lot could not produce one single shred of hard evidence to support your accusation (such as kt makan dedak) other than by the slimiest of allusion or association
Now u r playing yr sifu's old trick of the-colour-of-the-dog-collar-vis-a-vis-the-collar/dog le!!
DeleteCari lobang, nak buat diversions pula ke???
Tsk....tsk...
BTW, the 2 issues u mentioned tak laku le.
1) how could outsiders harassing Claire on a on-going court case
2) Could Ambiga has given permission for the name mentioning in the affidavit
Neither has ANYTHING to do with journalistic report lah! Tau tak?
Don't just read too much into yr sifi/mom's kpi seeking trashes lah.
KT
Deleteyou can't blame people for thinking you are pro ah moi, your despise for maddy could be the reason
as for being a sidekick of rpk nah...Siamese twins probably cos the both of you think alike and probably wears the same diaper
and I refuse to think you are doing it for dedak you are just doing ah moi a favour by hemtaming Maddy kaw kaw no?
The case is being tried in UK court, which has far more credibility than Bolehland. If Hadi fails to win his case Ktemoc should Shut The Fuck Up about Claire Rewcastle.
ReplyDeleteKtemoc already describes her words as slander , showing how biased he is in favour of the Najib / Hadi camp.
When you are so obviously biased, your claim to be non-partisan is hollow and you have NO credibility.
isn't Claire Rewcastle sued for slander? If not please tell me what?
DeleteHas the UK court delivers the judgement yet?
DeleteIf not, then all r hearsays le!
U seem to be VERY sure that the towel head will win the case.
U ada cabel connecting to the presiding judge ke?
Wakakakaka....
Anybody can sue anybody for slander...that does not make it a fact. At this point it is a meer accusation from the Towel-Head. Let the court decide first..
Deleteas I've written above:
Deletemy post deals with 2 issues, (1) that Claire Rewcastle Brown must be so brittle to be harassed by people she reports on and (2) she shows her un-journalistic competence or integrity by squealing out Ambiga's name. That's not on in journalism.
Instead, when Hadi Awang sued her, she should just produce whatever evidence she has to back up her slander.
Who is right and who is wrong is not my topic nor concern
And what I have posted earlier above is also NOT about " who is right and who is wrong" ! All I said was that I agreed that this was a STRATEGY cooked by the 2 brave women to lure those 2 ulars to be judged in a court of law. And that would also suggests that Claire R Brown had already discussed with and gotten permission from Ambiga to name her as the source. Ambiga then could be legitimately called in to give evidence and who knows, she might then bring in other related actors/witnesses to open up old cans/new cans of worms all so conveniently sealed tight. Now where was it alluded that this is about who is in the right and who is in the wrong ? Ktemoc is forever accusing one commentator by the name of HY of being 'dense' and off track ! Oh the irony....mirror mirror on the wall.
Deletequote "to lure those 2 ulars" unquote - isn't that judgemental so how goes your claim of "is also NOT about " who is right and who is wrong" wakakaka
DeleteUlars in Malaysian context would meant people who have characteristics of being very "flexible", turning and twisting with loyalty to none but only to themselves and could betray in an instance. So try to think back for instances when Pinklips and Towel Head have characteristics of ulars, OK ? You need not to go far for such evidence of their ular-ness....even in your own writes past and even some recently, you yourself have been very articulate on such examples of these two for their snaky behaviors. Just because you have a change of morality now doesn't mean that your past articles on their characters are now worthless. Describing someone as "ular" would meant to impart our opinion of that person having such snaky characteristics, nothing to do with whether this person is in the "right or wrong" in the particular case of corruption and makan dedak.
DeleteSo with the kind of "tutup jalan" environment here where investigation reports are sealed under OSA and the AG wielded extraordinary power to shield the very special privileged elites, the action of these 2 brave women ought to be lauded than to be castigated and harassed. So for this particular case of corruption and makan dedak, many are of the opinion that Clare RB have purposely 'fingered' Ambiga to provoke Towel Head to file a suit against her and via this way, maybe we might see this allegation dealt with properly in a court of law.
