Ex-IGP Musa brought to his knees by a Civil Society Crusader

"A moment comes... when the soul of nation long suppressed finds utterance . " - J.Nehru

COMMENT: It takes a civil society crusader like Tan Sri Robert Phang to bring this former Inspector-General of Police to his knees. I congratulate my Tan Sri friend for taking on this arrogant former top cop who thought he could act with impunity. You may recall that Tan Sri Musa Hassan tried to fix Dato Ramli Yusuff and his lawyer Rosli Dahlan. He was also the well known mattress carrier in Anwar Ibrahim’s Sodomy 1 Case in 1998.

I wonder what happened to his political bosses when their ward and stooge was in trouble. They did the most obvious, and not unexpected, thing, and that is they stayed out of the fray. They did not move a finger to assist him. Even the A-G deserted him.This should be a lesson to all individuals now in high office. They should act to uphold the Rule of Law and perform their duties in a very professional manner.

People like the Attorney-General and the MACC Chief Commissioner should also take note that no one is above the Law. For this reason, I look forward to the outcome of  the Rosli Dahlan vs The Four Tan Sris case. Justice is slow in coming and when it does, it does come with a big bang.–Din Merican

Ex-IGP Musa apologises to settle suit

Ex-IGP Musa apologises to former MACC adviser

Former inspector­general of police Musa Hassan today apologised to former Malaysian Anti­Corruption Commission (MACC) adviser Robert Phang as the duo settled Phang’s defamation suit against Musa.

Musa read out his apology at the Shah Alam High Court today and agreed to pay RM10,000 in costs over accusations of abuse of power which Musa made against Phang in a press conference in 2012.

“I admit that the statements were defamatory of the plaintiff and fully regret the statements,” Musa said in his apology.

Musa had accused Phang of transferring a senior police officer using his influence in order to speed up the deployment of a project backed by him.

This is the second time in two years that Musa has had to tender an apology in court over statements made in the same press conference in later 2012.

Last year, he had to apologise to former Commercial Crimes Investigation Department (CID) chief Ramli Yusuff, also at the Shah Alam High Court, for claiming that political figures were backing Ramli in Ramli’s war of words with Musa.

In 2012, upon joining crimewatch NGO MyWatch, he made a raft of allegations in his maiden press conference, and the allegations were later termed as ‘copgate’.

Phang, in an immediate response, said that he felt “vindicated” by the apology.

“Let this serve as a lesson to all ­ that it does not pay to libel anyone. Reputation is a very hard­earned commodity and the preservation is arduous and tortuous,” Phang said.

Lawyers Sankara Nair, Muralidharan Kalidass and Lee Wing Hong acted as counsel for Phang, while Abdul Aziz Abd Rahman, Rabinder Singh, and S Selvarajah represented Musa.

Justice Rozana Ali Yusoff presided.

“I admit that the statements were defamatory of the plaintiff and fully regret the statements,” Musa said in court.

Robert Phang sues Musa for RM100m

PETALING JAYA: Former MACC advisory council member Robert Phang has filed a RM100 million defamation suit against ex-IGP Musa Hassan for statements insinuating that the former had links to the underworld and had interfered with the workings of the police force.

Speaking to newsmen after filing the suit at the Shah Alam High Court registry, Phang said he decided to go ahead with the suit after giving Musa eight days to prove his allegations that Phang had a hand in the wrongful transfer of a senior police officer.

Phang said the suit will also restore his integrity and to clear the confusion that the Royal Malaysian Police Force (PDRM) was affiliated with gangsterism, as alleged by Musa.

He is suing Musa for a making a statement to the press on Dec 12, 2012. Musa had attacked Phang personally at the press conference, alleging that Phang had interfered with police personnel movements and was linked to criminal activities.

Phang subsequently sent a letter of demand to Musa, asking the former IGP to stop defaming him. The legal suit is a follow up to the letter which Musa did not respond to or comply with.

Phang files RM100mil suit against Musa Hassan

Former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission advisory council member Robert Phang has filed a RM100 million defamation suit against former inspector-general of police Musa Hassan for alleging that the former had links to criminal activities and interfered with the workings of the police force.

However, Phang stressed that he sought not to profit from the legal suit, but only wanted to clear his name.

"If I win, I will give everything to charity," said Phang to reporters before filing his suit against the former top cop (left) at the Shah Alam High Court this morning.

"The court will decide who is the great liar".

He was accompanied by lawyer Sankara Nair, who is acting on his behalf.

Other than the RM100 million in damages, Phang is also seeking an injunction to stop Musa from defaming him, legal costs, as well as aggravated and exemplary damages and other reliefs the court deems necessary to absolve him from the former IGP's public allegations.

Musa had attacked Phang personally in a series of media interviews, in which he had alleged that Phang had interfered with police personnel movements and was linked to criminal activities.

The allegations were made by Musa around the time he was made patron of the PKR-linked Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force (MyWatch).

He was previously linked to the opposition party and reports circulated of him joining the opposition.

Some have claimed that his recent revelations were prodded by Pakatan Rakyat.

'IGP, Home Minister must respond'

Phang had earlier sent a letter of demand to Musa asking the former IGP to retract his allegations and stop defaming him, and hence the legal suit is a follow up to the letter which Musa did not respond to or comply with.

"If you dare to say something, then you must dare face the consequences," Phang said.

Phang lamented the fact that Musa had dragged the entire police force and the serving IGP Ismail Omar (right) through the mud in his personal attacks on Phang.

"He said that the current IGP had met him and cried, how can you do that?"

However, Phang viewed the allegations by the former top cop as serious for it linked the police force with criminal elements.

He urged the matter be investigated as it impugned on the honour of the nation’s men in uniform.

More so, Phang called on the IGP and Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein to respond to Musa's allegations and clear the air.

"Allegations in public domain, if not answered, will become perception," warned Phang.

In addition, Phang also claimed that Musa had described him as a corrupt, unethical individual who has committed crimes which is punishable by jail.
