The Umno State Assemblywoman from Sungai Rapat, Hamidah Osman,
revealed the attitude of these Umno women last week when she
insinuated that if you see an Indian and a snake, you kill the
Indian first. Yes, that is what she meant.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

"The police are the ones who will determine whether the report is
true or not. It is not something that we can determine. He will
definitely deny it. That is common for someone who has been
accused," said Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

No, Abdullah Badawi was not talking about the people named in the
Statutory Declaration (read it here). He was referring to the latest
sodomy allegation against Anwar Ibrahim. "He will definitely deny
it. That is common for someone who has been accused." Yes, but is
this common only to Anwar Ibrahim? Would not Abdullah Badawi, his
son-in-law, Najib, Rosmah, Col. Aziz and Col Norhayati not also do
the `common' thing and also deny what was alleged in the Statutory
Declaration?

Thus far, everyone named in that Statutory Declaration has denied
what has been alleged. But, as Abdullah Badawi said, "He will
definitely deny it. That is common for someone who has been
accused." And, as Abdullah Badawi further said, "The police are the
ones who will determine whether the report is true or not. It is not
something that we can determine."

Hmm….but did not Abdullah Badawi also say last week that he believes
his Deputy Prime Minister Rosmah Mansor and her husband, Najib, are
innocent? Well, he said this at least as far as Rosmah and her
husband are concerned. But when it comes to Anwar Ibrahim he
says, "The police are the ones who will determine whether the report
is true or not. It is not something that we can determine. He will
definitely deny it. That is common for someone who has been accused."

Why did Abdullah Badawi open his mouth and profess Rosmah's and
Najib's innocence even before the police started their
investigation? Will the police now dare announce the opposite to
what Abdullah Badawi said, thus embarrassing the Prime Minister and
making him a liar, at worse, or stupid, at best?

Abdullah Badawi has already `locked' the police investigation and
this will force the police to arrive at only one verdict. It is now
impossible for the police to rule any other way other than declaring
that the Statutory Declaration is false. That would be the only way
to save the Prime Minister's face and insulate him from controversy,
or worse, from criminal charges.

In fact, the move to declare the Statutory Declaration false started
very early in the day. The Statutory Declaration was signed on
Wednesday, 18 June 2008, and handed to the prosecutors in the
Altantuya murder trial the following day. On Friday, 20 June 2008,
the Attorney-General lodged a police report on the basis that I had
made a false declaration.

How did the Attorney-General know it is false? Again, the Attorney-
General `locked' the police. Since the police report was based on a
false declaration and since the Attorney-General has said thus, the
police will now have to concur or else the Attorney-General too
would lose face.

We must remember that even before the Altantuya murder trial started
the Attorney-General had announced that only three people and no
others are involved in the murder. The Attorney-General had pre-
judged the case and effectively `locked' the judge. If evidence
surfaces in the course of the trial which points to the possibility
that more than three people are involved, the Attorney-General would
look very stupid and would probably open himself to allegations of
trial-rigging, which is a criminal act.

But then this will not be the first time that the Inspector General
of Police and the Attorney-General have been accused of trial-
rigging. According to Anwar Ibrahim, he has evidence that the
Inspector General of Police and the Attorney-General had fabricated
evidence during his 1998-1999 trials. In 1998, the Inspector General
of Police and Attorney-General were the investigating officer and
prosecutor respectively. Anwar was about to give this evidence to
Malaysia Today so that we can expose it when, suddenly, the latest
sodomy allegation exploded. Is this fantastic timing and a mere
coincidence or something more sinister?

Have no fear, Malaysia Today is here, and once we get our hands on
the evidence we will certainly reveal it to prove that the Inspector
General of Police and Attorney-General conspired to fabricate
evidence in Anwar Ibrahim's 1998-1999 trials -- unless they get
Anwar or me first of course. Anyway, if anything happens to Anwar or
me then you will know why we were silenced. But the evidence will
definitely not be silenced. It will still surface, with or without
Anwar or me. And let the conspirators beware because they will have
to face the wrath of the people.

So, I have signed a false Statutory Declaration, have I? Well, then
prove it because the onus is on the accuser to prove guilt and not
on the accused to prove innocence. And since they made a police
report and announced that I had made a false declaration even before
launching the investigation, this points to the very strong
possibility that the police investigation must `support' what they
have said, that I had signed a false declaration. To do otherwise
would be suicide, for them of course.

In the meantime, while they figure out how they are going to bring
me down and lock me away in the Kajang Prison, I too am working on
the evidence that will prove the Inspector General of Police and
Attorney-General fabricated evidence in Anwar Ibrahim's 1998-1999
trials. Let's see whether they get me first before I get them.
Anyone want to make a small wager that I will get them before they
get me? This should be an interesting bet don't you think?

Ooooh….I just love impossible odds. Anyway, while we wait to see who
gets whom first, let us look at another subject matter. This was
what happened in the Perak State Assembly last week as reported by
The Star on Friday:

The first 36 minutes of Question Time yesterday saw opposition
assemblymen continuously standing up and asking him for the chance
to speak, and raise issues.

One by Hamidah Osman (BN-Sungai Rapat) particularly earned the wrath
of the Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen when she asked whether
Sivakumar "agreed to disagree" with the well-known fable of whether
a snake or a man from a certain racial community should be killed
first.

Nga Kor Ming (DAP-Pantai Remis) and other Pakatan assemblymen
demanded Hamidah retract her words but she maintained she was merely
asking if Sivakumar "agreed to disagree" with it.

Sivakumar let her off with a warning and told her not to bring up
anything sensitive. Barisan whip Datuk Seri Mohamad Tajol Rosli
Ghazali (BN-Pengkalan Hulu) then asked her to retract her words, and
she did.

This reminds me of the statement by the Kampong Medan Umno State
Assemblywoman soon after the race riots of almost a decade ago,
which saw the loss of a number of lives. She said that the Indians
had it coming because they have been arrogant for far too long.

I was shocked when I read the newspaper report quoting this Umno
State Assemblywoman. Was she trying to say that it is not wrong to
kill Indians because they deserve it and were asking for it? Hell,
she is a State Assemblywoman and this is no way for a State
Assemblywoman to talk. Endorsing killings of Malaysians, even if
they are not of your race but are of another race, is just not on.
Even if they are not Malaysians but are illegal immigrants that is
still no reason to slaughter them and say that they deserve it.

Why are Malays so worked up and angry about Israeli soldiers killing
Palestinian civilians? Palestinians are not Malaysians. They are not
even Malays. So why poke our nose into something that is happening
so far away in a land we have never visited and to people we have
never met? If we have no sympathy for non-Malays killed in our own
country why are we so nosy-parker about the same thing in a far away
land?

The Umno State Assemblywoman from Sungai Rapat, Hamidah Osman,
revealed the attitude of these Umno women last week when she
insinuated that if you see an Indian and a snake, you kill the
Indian first. Yes, that is what she meant. Hey, fuck you; Raja Petra
Kamarudin is not seditious. This Umno State Assemblywoman from
Sungai Rapat and that other Umno State Assemblywoman from Kampong
Medan (now retired), who both endorse the killings of Indians, are.
Go for their balls (metaphorically speaking of course since they do
not actually have any). Leave mine alone. My wife has grown attached
to them and she would hate to see the government take them away from
her for the next couple of years.
