RPK vs Azmin 2.0
One interesting document in that file is regarding the RM15,000 a month that Vincent Tan was paying Azmin Ali. Other than shares, houses and cars totalling about RM1.5 million, almost RM10 million in cash and cheques flowed through Azmin’s and Shamsidar Taharin’s (Azmin’s wife’s) bank accounts. All these transactions were confirmed and certified by the banks concerned. The gist of this whole story is about how the ACA had gathered enough evidence to arrest and prosecute Azmin Ali for corruption involving millions of Ringgit but the then Deputy Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, told them to NFA (no further action) the case and bury the file.
Last month, a retired Anti-Corruption Commission or MACC officer met up with me in London to hand over a thick file of hundreds of documents. This was one very disillusioned anti-corruption officer who wanted the world to know that some of the MACC officers are as corrupted as the people they are supposed to investigate. He made it sound as if it was like putting the fox in charge of the chicken run.
I suppose that makes sense when you consider that people under interrogation have been known to fall out of the window of the MACC office. The old adage of ‘dead men tell no tales’ is very true and it does not cost that much to ensure that witnesses fall out of windows so that the case would go no further, like this particular case we are going to talk about.
Anyway, in that file I was given are police reports, investigation reports, recorded and signed statements, minutes, statements of accounts, bank statements, copies of cheques, vouchers, contract notes, and so on. Basically, it was an entire file going back 17 years when the MACC was still known as the ACA (Anti-Corruption Agency).
The gist of this whole story is about how the ACA had gathered enough evidence to arrest and prosecute Azmin Ali for corruption involving millions of Ringgit but the then Deputy Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, told them to NFA (no further action) the case and bury the file.
Nampaknya Azmin masih GAGAL melangsaikan hutang piutangnya kepada RPK. Masih banyak yang tertangguh, sebab itulah RPK tidak rasa segan dan silu untuk mendedahkan lebih banyak cerita mengenai Timbalan Presiden PKR ini.
Hubungan baik Azmin-RPK ini memang bukan baru. Dah lama. Free Anwar Campaign dulu diketuai oleh RPK; dan dibayar oleh Kak Wan melalui Azmin. Tak ada pending. Cukup bulan – BAYAR. Ada ketika, Azmin top up di mana yang perlu. Banyak juga jumlahnya.
Masalah Azmin dan RPK timbul apabila Free Anwar Campaign untuk kes Sodomi 2 tidak jadi dilancarkan. Memang working budget sudah ada – AUD5 juta. Semuanya akan diuruskan oleh RPK di sebuah pejabat di Sydney. RPK sudah mencari staff, cari ofis, sediakan semua yang perlu.
Apabila Anwar dibebaskan, peruntukan yang asalnya dijanjikan kepada RPK; ditarik balik oleh Azmin di dalam Mesyuarat Pengurusan Parti. Azmin tidak mahu sejumlah itu dibelanjakan kepada seorang penakut yang lari daripada Negara sendiri. RPK dapat tahu mengenai minit mesyuarat di mana Azmin menyatakan – it’s a bloody waste of money to take care of Petra. Hancur.
Inilah antara punca mengapa banyak ‘barang dalam almari Azmin’ akan didedahkan kepada umum oleh RPK.
Azmin memang bersedia dengan retaliation ini. Soalnya, kalau Azmin pernah menjadi seorang yang KORUP – apa jaminan dia akan jadi BERSIH sekarang.
Korupsi ada dalam DNA Azmin, Shamsidar dan Anwar. Maka, ia akan kekal begitu. Kalau rakyat masih percaya dengan lakonan ini; maka mereka akan menjadi kalangan kepimpinan Negara yang lebih korup dan diktatorial.
