The Fight For Right Hots Up


The fight for right hots up as a courageous Malaysian MP
sues the Malaysian government,Speaker and Secretary of Parliament and de facto Law Minister for abuse of power.

DAP MP for Puchong Gobind Singh Deo filed the landmark legal suit yesterday(April 23,2009) at the Kuala Lumpur High Court registry.

Gobind,36,expelled from Malaysia's Parliament under a one-year suspension order without parliamentary pay and privileges on March 16,2009,challenges the way Parliament has been wrongly abused without due respect to human rights and Malaysia's Federal Constitution.

He has named Malaysia's Parliament Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin,Parliament Secretary Datuk Roosme Hamzah,de facto Law Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz and the government of Malaysia as defendents.

Gobind had called Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak "murderer" and pressed Najib to explain allegations linking Najib and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to the cruel C4 bomb murder of Mongolian beauty Altantuya Shaariibuu.

He created a commotion by his outburst just after Najib,who is also Malaysia's Finance Minister, had completed the debate on the RM60 billion stimulus package.

Deputy Speaker Datuk Ronald Kiandee had swiftly interjected and ejected Gobind out of the House for one day for contempt.

Subsequently,Nazri moved a motion allowed by Pandikar "in the national interest",to suspend Gobind
without giving Gobind any chance to defend himself for alleged contempt of his rights and privileges as an MP and defying Ronald's order to leave the House.

The suspension order was passed quickly with a voice vote of the House.

It is considered a blatant abuse of the ruling National Front's majority in Parliament.

Now,Gobind has gone to the court to seek redress for the gross injustice done on him.

Gobind stresses that the case "is not a personal issue, but an important national issue" about the performance of MPs "without fear or favour" in the public interest.

Gobind seeks a declaration that the letter dated March 16 signed by the Parliament Secretary Datuk Roosme
Hamzah suspending him as MP without pay, allowances and benefits of an MP for one year is null and void.

He claims it violates Article 64 of the Federal Constitution that provides for mandatory entitlement of an MP to the full MP's benefits.

By virtue of the violation,the court is allowed to scrutinize the proceedings of Parliament.

Gobind also claims the parliamentary proceedings on March 16 has violated his human rights to defend himself.

Hence,he also seeks to declare the proceedings and decision taken in Parliament to be not immune from scrutiny by the court and his suspension unconstitutional under Malaysia's Federal Constitution.


Gobind's father,Karpal Singh,a prominent lawyer stresses: "He has got a precedent. They started it."

Karpal,who is DAP chairman and MP for Bukit Gelugor, refers to the new precedent set by the unanimous decision of Malaysia's Federal Court last Thursday(April 16,2009).

The Federal Court had ruled Perak Assembly Speaker V.Sivakumar has no powers to suspend National Front Mentri Besar Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir and his six executive council members from attending the state assembly sittings for contempt of the House.

This decision is considered by legal brains to have contradicted Article 72(1) of Malaysia's Federal Constitution that states "The validity of any proceedings in the Legislative Assembly of any state shall not be questioned in any court."

The ruling destroys the doctrine of separation of powers of the Executive,Legislature and Judiciary.

Interestingly, Article 63(1) stipulates "The validity of any proceedings in either House of Parliament or any committee thereof shall not be questioned in any court".

Gobind's legal suit is a test case that now puts the judiciary in a quandary.

The vital question being asked is: "Will the Federal Court be guilty of selective and discriminatory justice?"

Gobind also seeks a court order to declare that he is free to attend the next sitting of Parliament scheduled to start on June 16.

He has filed a certificate of urgency for the court to expedite the hearing.

His father,Karpal Singh,who was charged for sedition for threatening to sue Perak Sultan Azlan Shah for acting ultra vires the Perak Constitution by consenting to the appointment of Zambry as new Perak Mentri Besar toppling the opposition-ruled Perak government,feels Gobind has a strong case.

The sedition charge was made a day after Gobind's one-year suspension.

Karpal has pleaded not guilty to the charge under Section 4(1)(6) of the archaic Sedition Act 1948.

The charge carries RM5,000 fine or three years' jail or both upon conviction.

Karpal has received death threats including live bullets in the mail sent to his Penang home address and threats of assault by Selangor UMNO Youth leaders at the entrance of Parliament House on February 26,2009 for expressing his views over the Perak Sultan's liability to be sued for "acting beyond the parameters of the Perak Constitution".

Yesterday,he helped his second son,Gobind Singh Deo, to right the wrong without fear or favour and ensure proper parliamentary practice by filing the suit via Messrs Karpal Singh and Co.

Ghost of Altantuya


The ghost of Altantuya
haunts her alleged killers
right into Malaysian Parliament.

The most brutal murder
of the century crops up
as Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Najib Razak
wound up debate
on the RM60 billion boost.

Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo
shouted: "Answer me, you murderer.
"DPM, you are involved in the murder case,
stand up and explain yourself.
Come back, I 'm not finished with you."

Najib was caught off-guard
as he was walking away.
He walked back to his seat
and sat down.

Deputy Speaker Ronald Kiandee
in a flash went to his aid,
ordering Gobind
out of the House
escorted by the
Sergeant-at-arms.


Several People Alliance MPs
including DAP adviser
Lim Kit Siang(MP - Ipoh Timur)
jeered and protested the
suspension for the day
of Gobind
staging a mass walkout
together with him
in protest.


Najib later left
Parliament
with his wife
Rosmah Mansor
two children
and his entourage.


Mongolian beauty
Altantuya Shaariibuu
was shot twice and blown
up
into pieces
with C-4 plastic
explosives
in October 2006.


Her lover
Abdul Razak Baginda
has been aquitted and discharged
of abetment in her murder.


Abdul Razak Baginda
is head of the Malaysian Strategic Research Centre
think tank
and close associate of
Najib Razak.


Together both men
were believed to have
great fun with Altantuya
with Najib allegedly passing her
to Abdul Razak Baginda
for safe-keeping.


French newspaper
Liberation revived
the Altantuya story
last week linking her,
Najib and Abdul Razak Baginda
in Malaysia's multi-billion euros
purchase of two Scorpene submarines


Najib was then Malaysia's
Defence Minister.


He is now Finance Minister
after switching porfolios
with outgoing Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.


He is scheduled to take over
the helm from Abdullah
later this month.


Abdul Razak Baginda
is alleged to be Najib's
intermediary for the commission
paid by French-Spanish joint venture
shipbuilder Armaris.


Liberation splashed
detailed report
on how Altantuya
was shot in the left side
of her face and blown up
into pieces in jungle clearing
near Subang Dam
in Puncak Alam,Shah Alam.


Altantuya had gone missing
in October 19,2006.


She was last seen getting into
a car outside Abdul Razak Baginda's
house.


Two elite special action force
police personnel
are being charged
for her murder.


The court is expected
to deliver the verdict
next month in what
has been a long drawn out
trial to minimise its
political impact.


Liberation reported
Rosmah,jealous of Altantuya,
refused to pay her
a single cent of US$500,000
commission.


It claims
the share of
Abdul Razak Baginda and Najib
amounted to 114 million euros.


The deal
was alleged
to have been done via Perimeker,
owned by Abdul Razak Baginda's
Ombak Laut.


During the trial,
Gobind's father,
Karpal Singh
has been holding
a watching brief
for Altantuya's family.


Karpal,
DAP chairman
and prominent Malaysian lawyer,
had sought in vain to recall
private investigator
P.Balasubramaniam,
the first prosecution witness.


Balasubramaniam has since
gone missing.


On July 23,2007,
the High Court
rejected Karpal's petition
to obtain testimony
from Deputy Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Najib Razak.


High Court judge
Mohd Zaki said
Karpal Singh
had no locus standi
or is in no position
to make the application.


He ruled
only the parties involved,
the prosecution and the defence,
have the right to do so.


The trial has dragged on
over more than one-and-half-year
leading to acquittal and discharge
on October 31,2008 of Abdul Razak Baginda
of abetment in the murder.


Blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin(RPK)
editor of Malaysia Today
has accused
Najib's wife
Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor
as being one of three people
who witnessed the bomb blow-up
of Altantuya at the crime scene
on October 19,2006.


He claimed
Rosmah,acting colonel Aziz Buyong
and his wife,Norhayati,
who is Rosmah's aide de camp
were there as Aziz Buyong
placed the c-4 plastic explosives
on Altantuya's body and blew it up.


RPK made the allegations
in the first statutory declaration
in connection with the murder case.


In the second statutory declaration
made by Abdul Razak Baginda's
private investigator
P.Balasubramaniam,
Najib was alleged to
have had a sexual relationship
with Altantuya with the trio -
Najib,Altantuya and Abdul Razak Baginda
dining together in Paris.


Balasubramaniam claimed
Abdul Razak Baginda told him
Altantuya was Najib's lover.


Najib passed her to him
to avoid harassment
as he is Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister.


Balasubramaniam alleged
there were text messages
between Najib and Abdul Razak Baginda
as the latter sought Najib's help to
avoid arrest.


On July 1,2008, Balasubramanim suddenly
retracted all allegations with reference to
Najib.


Since then Balasubramaniam, his wife
and children have all gone missing.


Meanwhile, an association of independent
journalists co-ordinated by French Liberation
correspondent Arnaud Dubus,
has set up
the Altantuya Foundation
in Bangkok.


The Altantuya Foundation
aims to offer concrete help
to Mr. Shaariibuu Setev,60,
the father of Altantuya and her
two children - Altanshagai,five,
and Mungunshagai,14.


The Mongolian embassy in Bangkok
will supervise
it and convey all donations directly to
Mr. Shaariibuu.


Well known Thai human rights activist
and chairman of the Union of Civil Liberties
Danthong Breen
is the first donor.


Arnaud Dubus said he met Mr.Shaariibuu in Ulan Bator
in January.He was touched by how the Mongolian had to work two different jobs to take care of his orphaned grandchildren.


"I am a journalist but I also have a heart.


"I could not help feeling compassion for the Shaariibuu family,"
he adds.


People of all nationalities, East and West, can show support for the family of Altantuya.
