A Circus in Malaysian Court

 

This is a court case that is really interesting but did not get the coverage of main stream media.

You sure have heard the news  about "RM27 million cop" few years ago. At that time, many of us thought that this is a dirty cop and now the police has taken him down. But after 3 trials for 3 different charges,, he was found NOT GUILTY for all 3, and this is big conspiration which is a fight between Bekas Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Perdagangan (CCID), Datuk Pahlawan Ramli Yusuff vs. Tan Sri Musa Hassan (Inspector General of PDRM) teamed up with Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (MACC).

Flash back news on the RM27 million cop is available here

It is beleved that it all started when Datuk Ramli as a Head of Commercial Crime Bukit Aman, was being very strict in upholding justice where he led the task to catch some big fish and commercial crime gangster which was told to have good links with the IGP. A case was then built in order to bring him down. He was found not guilty for all 3 crimes.

Some interesting and funny moments during the 3rd trial session is when a witness who is a MACC Investigation Officer for the case was called upon as a witness, he answered a question from his Superior, DPP Dato’ Seri Shafee Abdullah with an answer that was not in favour to MACC.

He was asked whether the company linked to Dato Ramli is a paper company, and the intention is to prove that Dato Ramli was in the Board of Director & making money from that company while he is still a government servant. But the Investiogation Officer who was called as a witness said that his investigation findings is that the company is really a paper company. This is really a BIG SLAP on MACC face! But he is truely an officer with high integrity! The judge then asked what is the case then???
