Do I detect some reluctance on the part of the MACC? Is the MACC trying to avoid meeting Bala? Why is the MACC so scared of meeting Bala? What is it that Bala is going to say that has put the fear of God in the MACC?

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Shareholder dispute revives Scomi past

Leslie Lopez, The Straits Times

A YET-TO-BE publicised shareholder dispute involving the son of former prime minister Abdullah Badawi is likely to renew debate over Malaysia's role in the clandestine trade of sensitive military technology.

Sri Lankan businessman Buhary Syed Abu Tahir has gone to the High Court to claim RM75 million (S$31 million) from the former premier's son, Mr Kamaluddin Abdullah, and another businessman, Mr Shah Hakim Shahzanim Zain.

In the suit filed by his wife late last year, Mr Tahir is demanding what he claims is money owed to him for his equity interest in engineering company, Scomi Group, lawyers familiar with the case told The Straits Times.

*************************************************

You can read the entire report below.

What I want to reveal here is that when I was in Kamunting for almost two months from September to November 2008, I did some probing. You know me: I love probing -- as long as it is not the butt of a Havana Club hostess. Anyway, what I discovered in my probe is most interesting indeed.

I found out that Buhary Syed Abu Tahir a.k.a BSA Tahir did not spend his entire time in Kamunting. They did send him there when they first detained him under the Internal Security Act (ISA) but a short while later they came back for him and he ‘disappeared’.

Four years or so later, Tahir suddenly returned to Kamunting and a few days later he was released. Tahir is probably the first person in Malaysia to be detained under the ISA in Kamunting but not actually having to spend time in Kamunting.

I did more probing and discovered that during the time he ‘disappeared’ from Kamunting, Tahir was ‘detained’ in an exclusive condo in Bangsar. That was how he ‘suffered’ his four years detention.

The reason why Tahir was detained but not Kamal or Shah Hakim was never really explained other than the excuse that Tahir did things behind their backs which they were not aware of. Now it seems they were more than aware. They were in fact part of the ring.

Okay, while we wait for the Malaysian mainstream media to pick up this story (if they dare), let us move on to PI Bala. Bala is still awaiting the confirmation of the interview that the MACC wants to have with him. MACC, however, is yet to decide when and where they would like to meet Bala even after so many months.

Do I detect some reluctance on the part of the MACC? Is the MACC trying to avoid meeting Bala? Why is the MACC so scared of meeting Bala? What is it that Bala is going to say that has put the fear of God in the MACC?

I can almost hear the taunting in the background: yeh, yeh, MACC kecut!

Those bastards in MACC have such over riding power that it boggles my mind.

During Beng Hock's inquest, them bastards so easily pulled out and showed Beng Hock's bank balance of sums totaling RM$1,500 or so AND then in current trial featuring the 2 PKR assemblymen (the two 'sedekah sek so called Muslims), it was reported that MACC's agent provocateur used petty cash amounting to some RM$12,000 from a Special Task Fund to buy a crate of beer !

A crate of beer, one crate of beer fyi amounts to 24 cans or bottle AND for that MACC utilised RM$12,000. That little bit that came up during current trial really blows my mind. They effing used public money to run this caper and all for what ?

Time for a change of govt and at the time when we can place all them UMNO politicians behind bars, let's not forget this bunch of monkeys from the MACC for their none action as well as Beng Hock's murder. Regards all.

How not to be scared of Bala? The present head of macc when he took over office, vowed to do his best to regain the image of the organization without fear or favour.

On this planned meeting with Bala, he can anticipate what Bala is going to say. But the question that bothers him is , should he disclose what actually transpired in the meeting. ? Never mind if somebody's head gets chopped off. Or should he lie, accepting the fact that it is going to adversely ruin the image of macc and the government ?

So their best course of action is to stall the meeting. They are experts in that.

MACC is trembling with fear now as ill-gotten gains from big-time corruption scandals are emerging from the twi-light zone which will implicate many big-time crooks since the Father of all Corruptions, Mamakkutty's time.

Another big job for the new chief of MACC to walk the talk.

Pete, you are studying on-campus in University Kamunting but this BSA Tahir is an off-campus graduate. If I'm not mistaken, still remember Abdullah Ang ? The jail is like a five stars hotel to him. The MACC together with the AG are still cracking their head on how to cook up a story to bullshit to the world.
...
written by Sunshine1, March 04, 2010 19:44:17
MACC shall investigates ALL the evil wrong doings of the Umnoputras/BN cohorts and bring them to book and confiscate all their ill gotten gains of hundreds of BILLIONS only if and when PR comes into power. Thus it is imperatives that we start our own VOTER GET VOTERS campaign NOW
