KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 — Umno supreme council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam issued an ultimatum today to Attorney General Tommy Thomas, demanding the government charge the two men caught on video with unnatural sex or be taken to court for failure to prosecute.
Lokman, who was called to Bukit Aman for questioning on the sex allegations, insisted that he has irrefutable proof for action to be taken against Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and former Santubong PKR Youth chief Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz — said to be the two men in the sex video.
“With the evidence we obtained from the UK-based firm, I hope the police can submit the investigation paper to the AG to charge Azmin and Haziq,” the Umno politician told reporters before entering the federal police headquarters.
He said the video analysis was undertaken by UK-based Verden Forensics, which did not detect any digital tampering with the raw footage of the clips that had been circulating on the internet these past few months.
Lokman said he instructed his lawyers yesterday to submit a notice and a copy of the forensic report to the AG for prosecution.
“If the AG fails to do so, our civil suit against him will remain,” he added.
According to Lokman, the forensic report confirmed similarities between the person portrayed in the video and pictures of Azmin supplied for analysis.
“Azmin's hairline and his sideburn, his chin and left brow in the video matched the photo we provided to the forensic team,” he said.
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigations Department Director Commissioner Datuk Huzir Mohamed confirmed yesterday that local authorities have received an analysis report of video that the Umno leader commissioned from a British firm.
Lokman had previously accused Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Abdul Hamid Bador of lying about the status of investigations into the case.
Wakakaka, I love to see how Tommy Thomas and IGP Bador will writhe wriggle and weasel out of this. This will show once and for all how beholden they both are to Atuk.
"New" Malaysia, my bloody kaki.
Tommy Thomas can easily even take a high ground on this and state -
ReplyDelete"I have no intention to charge anyone under this archaic law, though it is still on the books."
In any case, the previous UMNO administration already successfully argued legally the Attorney General's discretion on prosecution is not subject to a Court review i.e. a Court has no power to order the AG to prosecute someone or not.
Good move Lok-The-Man-Up.
ReplyDeletePlease sue former AG Apandi also for declaring Jibby innocent, instead of charging him for 1MDB crimes back in 2015, despite so much evidence available back then. Tommy Thomas is now tied up in court everyday because you were so slack then.
Oh so sorry I forgot.
ReplyDeleteI must not mention the fact that Jibby sacked Gani Patail and appointed Apandi who duly declared Jibby innocent. But the fact that Toonsie appointed Tommy Thomas must be highlighted ad nauseum.
"New" "Clean" Malaysia mah - surely you don't want to equate Tommy Thomas with Apandi? Maybe in your heart you do, and with Mahathir to Najib too, wakakaka
Deleteif his real motive is to seek the truth and justice we ought to hold a candle to him, preferably white, wakakaka, but I won't hold my breath, before ge14 people say umno will be the best opposition and it looks like it is turning out nicely, wakakaka, good to know they are taking over lks's job like duck to water but with the customary racebaiting, now anybody who is not happy can sue the ag, wakakaka, see you in court says the ag, I'm in no mood to wriggle wakakaka
