Robert Phang to haul Musa Hassan to court for defamation

Tan Sri Robert Phang has confirmed plans to sue Tan Sri Musa Hassan for defamation, insisting the former Inspector General of Police had destroyed his reputation by accusing him of power abuse during his tenure as an anti-graft panel adviser.

In the latest twist to the saga involving former top ranking police officers, Phang told The Malaysian Insider that he had agreed to proceed with the suit following Musa's ensuring silence after making the accusations. "Yes, I will surely sue him.  He destroyed my reputation.  I have discussed this with my lawyers," Phang said in an interview here.

"I waited three days but there was nothing....so I will proceed with the suit," he added.

Musa, who has been in the limelight of late for his barrage of revelations on power abuse in the police force, had recently accused Phang of abusing his authority to transfer a senior police officer in order to speed up the deploymet of a project backed by him.  "(Phang) threatened the officer, if you don't commission (this project) , you will be transferred in 24 hours.  "If someone from the public can threaten a policeman...he must have powers in the police force," Musa has claimed.

The project in 2009 was allegedly to upgrade the analogue communications systems used by the police to a digital Motorola system, and according to Musa was worth hundreds of millions of ringgit.

He had described the officer transferred as an expert in communications, ranking "higher than assistant commissioner of police (ACP)", holding a datukship, and is still in the aforcea.

When making the accusation, Musa reasoned that he was only revealing the abuse now as a response to Phang's earlier allegation that the ex-IGP is backed by crime syndicates.

"I find it very amusing that Musa Hassan has issued statements after statements against anyone and everyone, ranting and raving, whereas he was the most 'Obedient' IGP during his time. Suddenly, everything is wrong with the government. While previously he was the beneficiary of all the government's policies including his twice extended service and all allegations against him were not properly investigated, he suddenly finds fault with the government, his own chosen successor and the PDRM that he left - with an image problem.

 I am told that Musa held a Press Conference on 10th Dec. 2012 maligning and threatening action against me. He tells half truths about the communication project with PDRM whereas everybody knew Musa had his own self-serving motivation in that project. This is not new of Musa, telling half-truths and manipulating facts. The only difference now is that he is doing it openly. However, since I have not received any text of Musa Hassan's Press release, I do not know what exactly he is ranting about. If he regards himself as a professional who is out to clear his name, I hope and suggest that he issue a proper written press statement and send it to me. Then, I will respond accordingly.

 Whatever he intends to say or state should be with in written press text to avoid ambiguity or distortion. Therefore, I will say to Musa Hassan, kindly put what you need to say in a prepared written text so that people will not misread you or you being misquoted and also it will be easier for me to reply or address your allegations.

Short of this, Musa may be playing a 'Sandiwara'. If so, do not waste the time of the public or my time. After all, Musa has been described in the judgement by Judge Supang Lian in Kota Kinabalu during the trial of Dato’ Ramli Yusoff, as a witness not worthy of credit – She said he was an incredible witness ( a polite way of calling him a liar). The judgement is in black and white and is in the public domain. In these words and I ask you to judge him:

“This involves an assessment of the credibility of the witness called by the prosecution. His evidence is unreliable and is to be disregarded and whatever he says in court lends to his discredit. I am in total agreement with the case for the defence that this lack of support of the evidence of PW75 (IGP Musa Hassan) on this point lends to his discredit... I found however that the evidence of PW75 on this to be unreliable and to be disregarded”.

I have said what I have to say in my prepared text dated 1st December 2012. Having regard to the quote by Judge Supang Lian, need I say more?

 Hello Musa, please prepare your press release text and circulate to all the media, and kindly do send me a copy. Then only, do you deserve a reply from me.

For sure, I must put on record that I reserve all my rights to pursue on this issue further.

Thank you."

MUSA HASSAN IS A TWO FACED LYING FRAUDSTER

PRESS STATEMENT BY:-
TAN SRI DATUK ROBERT PHANG MIOW SIN
Justice of Peace
Chairman – Social Care Foundation
01st December 2012    


1. I refer to the recent statements made by the former IGP, Tan Sri Musa Hassan, at a press conference held on 29th November 2012 by a new so–called Malaysian Crime Watch Group (MyWatch) believed backed by PKR where Musa is the appointed patron.

2. Let me be clear. The timing of the announcement of this new NGO and Musa’s press conference were orchestrated to catch the attention of the current on-going UMNO General Assembly. This was timed with Deepak’s Jaikishan’s press conference against our PM Dato Seri Najib Razak who happens to be Home Minister Hishammuddin’s cousin. In other words, the public an clearly see that this is a two pronged political attack to undermine both the the Home Minister and the Prime Minsiter who are respectively UMNO’s President and Vice President. The boldness of this two pronged attacks must come with backing from within UMNO’s household. I will not touch on the domestic strife within UMNO and let that be an internal party matter for President UMNO to stamp out.

3. The mainstream press and alternative media reported that Musa has amongst others accused politicians especailly Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein of meddling in police affiatrs during his time as IGP. Musa also made allegations that various politicians interfered to protect several criminals whom he arrested in his time. Musa then made wilder allegations that PDRM under present IGP Tan Sri Ismail Omar is being infiltrated and controlled by triads and crime syndicates. In short Musa is accusing the police force of losing control of the country to crime mafia and crooked polticians and that Tan Sri Ismail Omar has lost control of the police force. This will certainly spread widespread fear amongst the general public.

4. If Musa is backed by PKR, then I must express my utmost disappointment that PKR appears to be a desperate party. Let me remind PKR that its very existence came about after Dato‘ Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s (DSAI) Black Eye Incident. Has PKR forgotten that Musa and AG Gani Patail tried to fabricate medical reports that DSAI’s injuries were self inflcited wheras then IGP Rahim Nor had punched DSAI in the eye and guiven him a good beating

5. If Musa is backed by PKR, then let me remind PKR that it is the same Musa Hassan and AG Gani Patail that fabricated evidence in Sodomy I. Has PKR forgotten that Musa was the celebrated Mattress Carrier who planted DSAI’s semen on the stained matters? It is the same Musa Hassan who was the investigating officer (IO) who made up stories about the driver Azizan being sodomised in Tivoli Vila and PJ Hilton when the buildng was not even ready? Muaa was the incompetent IO who made so many errors in the investigation papper that the late Judge Augustine Paul had to rule irrelevant to many of the inconsistent evidence before God made Augustine Paul himself irrelevant. Let us pray for the man that his soul obtain redemption.

6. Let me remind that when Musa was IGP, he was again the main actor in the script for Sodomy II. So let PKR be very clear of who this Musa Hassan is. Thus, going into bed with this cunning man and supporting his cause will mean that the leadership of PKR has no principles. I say to PKR- dissociate yourself from this wolf in sheep’s skin. Ask why is he now attacking the goverment as evil whereas he once was its key perpetrator. If PKR keep supporting this evil man, then PKR wil lose support of the public for stooping so low just to undermine the BN government.

彭茂燊呼吁全体华社义不容辞挺董总

（吉隆坡22日讯）马来西亚彭氏宗亲会总会今日表明彭总全力支持并参加1125和平请愿大会。

彭总总会长丹斯里彭茂燊同时呼吁全体华社为了华教的将来，不只应全力支持这项崇高及有意义的挺华教行动，同时也应赞扬董总为华教所作出的贡献和努力。

他发表文告指出，华社如果不赞成挺1125和平请愿大会，还是少说话为妙，以免越描越黑，把好事变成坏事。

他说，任何人也绝对不能对发动集会的领袖进行人身攻击。

“任何稍有智慧和成熟的华裔，绝不会希望被人叽笑为不只不挺身相救，而且还落井下石，何况这种做法到头来恐怕会被冠上‘擦鞋子’的坏名声。

“你们要全体华裔认定你们是这种人吗？”

彭茂燊也表明，华社看不起、也绝不允许“擦鞋”作风，任何人在发表谈话时即使不尊重别人，也应尊重自己而言行会谨慎，以免言多必失。

他说：“不论是华总、还是什么公会、组织，肯定有权力选择要不要支持1125集会，而如果不支持，就不应多加批评，因为总没有人会说不批评的人就是哑吧。

“凡事可以以任何方式处理都可以，但绝不能对别人进行人身攻击，倘若没办法很明显看到叶新田和邹寿汉存有其他目的话，我们只好接受他们与其他团体共同维护华教的事实。

“试问在这方面，他们既出钱又出力和花精神做这神圣工作，就算是没有功劳也有苦劳。这与‘逞英雄’并无关系。”

彭茂燊自认跟进1125和平请愿大会个案已久，但从未发表任何评论，那是因为他要看到董总两位主要领导人的真正方向是什么，以及他们所付出的是为了什么？还是个人利益间接或直接搞名堂？

他在观察后认为他们确实是为了华裔子弟的未来，强调华文教育的重要性，并相信时间和历史肯定是最好的见证。

丹斯里彭指出，华团若要团结，领导人就得服膺一般公认的少数服从多数原则，支持所有大部分华团挺1125集会的决定。

“相反地，若不及时努力救火和灭火，肯定只有两个结局——名留千古或遗臭万年，并且肯定会令人感到后悔。”

他借用一位副部长所说的“真的假不了，假的真不了”，形容1125集会的目标很明确，彭总全力支持，并从容赴会。

Ramli hits out at AG, Musa at his retirement ceremony

After being disgraced and facing five trumped-up charges of non-disclosure of his assets, from which he was later acquitted, former Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Ramli Yusuff was honoured with an official retirement ceremony by inspector-general of police (IGP) Ismail Omar in Bukit Aman today.

Ramli, in his farewell speech, lashed out at the present attorney-general (AG), Abdul Gani Patail, and former IGP Musa Hassan.

He said he never imagined the force would fall for the devious behaviour of the previous IGP and the current AG.

“It took over five years for my cases to be ruled upon by the justice system and my total innocence to be confirmed.

“Not only were the press and AG’s office ready to use any means necessary to try and get a guilty verdict against me, but also for the first time in history, a serving IGP testified against one of his own directors when he gave evidence contradicting several of his other officers including those of the rank of director. Ultimately, the judge rebuked that IGP for his incredulous witness testimony,” he said.

Ramli, who had been a career police officer for 38 years, was referring to what is now known as Copgate.
Not only was Ramli charged, his lawyer Rosli Dahlan and six junior officers investigating Copgate were also charged. Rosli and the six junior officers were also acquitted without their defence being called.
