MUSA HASSAN SHOULD JUST SHUT UP AND GO

by Din Merican

Last Sunday I wrote about Musa Hassan’s revolting interview with Mingguan Malaysia. Since then, several other news reports have surfaced where Musa has lashed out more pointedly at the Ministry of Home Affairs for interfering in the affairs of the Police Force. While not specifically naming the Home Affairs Minister, Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Hussein Onn, the target of his attacks was quite obvious. Musa even said that he was no aware that Hishammuddin was going to announce that his contract would not be renewed and that the DIGP, Tan Sri Ismail Omar, would be the new IGP.

Musa wants to hang on to his job, but sorry, enough is enough

Those statements by Musa are very revealing that he was not ready to step down yet despite having been given 2 contract extensions. That Musa was hoping for another extension. That Musa did not want Ismail Omar to succeed as IGP. That, now confirms the rumours that have been swirling around since March this year within PDRM and the Home Ministry that Musa has been bad mouthing Ismail Omar as “Tak ada karisma. Tak bersedia. Dia Bengap sikit. Muka pun nampak Bongok”. For Johoreans the term “Bengap” and Bongok” are very strong words. Johoreans use it only against enemies or people they dislike to run them down as unworthy opponents. But why would Musa use such words against his own DIGP? Wasn’t Ismail Omar handpicked by Musa to be DIGP? Wasn’t that part of the PDRM’s succession plan?

No Amount of Acting  can erase his ” Unreliable Witness” image

Therein lies the real cunning character of Musa Hassan @aka Musang. Musa never wanted any immediate real successors. The succession plan was just a Sandiwara. One must not forget that Musa Hassan’s younger brother is the famous actor Dato’ Jalaludin Hassan. Another younger brother is politician and former Ampang Jaya MP, Dato’ Fuad Hassan. So Musa has all the tools and skills of an actor and a politician whereas what he needed to be was an officer and a gentleman. Musa has never been the latter.

Now, that fits in with the plot that Musa hatched against former Director CCID, Dato’ Ramli Yusuff, whom Musa got rid off in 2007. Musa conspired with the AG Gani and MACC to frame Dato’ Ramli and made Dato’ Ramli looked like  “The RM27 Million Crooked Cop”. In Lawyer Rosli Dahlan’s trial which ended last Monday, the MACC IO Saiful Ezral finally admitted that there was no truth to the RM27 million story. That story was fanned by the mainstream media quoting “sources within ACA close to the investigations”.

Ramli and Rosli never charged for corruption

IO Saiful Ezral also admitted that Ramli and Rosli was never charged for corruption because the MACC did not find any evidence of corruption. And since the MACC could not find any corruption, the MACC decided to charge Ramli and Rosli for offences of non-declaration or incomplete declarations. These are just technical offences. Already, Dato’ Ramli has been acquitted of all charges, but MACC still does not want to withdraw the charge against Rosli.

MACC uses hard core criminals to fix the innocent

IO Saiful Ezral also admitted that the only “informer’ who gave them a written statement was a known criminal, Moo Sai Chin,  and the MACC believed Moo because he gave his statement “voluntarily” to the MACC. When asked where Moo is and why Moo is not in court to accuse Dato’ Ramli directly, IO Saiful Ezral admitted that Moo is missing. Moo cannot be found. Moo is on the run. Moo has gone into hiding. And yet the MACC charged a Police Director and a respected lawyer based on just the words of this criminal whom the MACC regarded as a credible informer!

All that have been said above reveal Musa Hassan’s hands in eliminating potential successors in PDRM. Musa had already wound the rumour mill that there was no one in the present echelon of PDRM that could succeed him. To Musa’s mind, the plot was very simple – if there is no likely candidate, then he can perpetuate his extension. Until today, which is already the 8th of September, Musa still struts around as IGP and refuses to let go of his post. Traditionally, all IGPs would already go on leave once the successor has been identified. But not Musa Hassan. He just hung around in the faint hope of a contract extension.

Musa is now on a war path against Hishamuddin. Musa is angry with Hisham for announcing his non-extension as IGP. Hishamuddin is stopping Musa’s lobby for a third extension despite the grim picture that Musa has painted that even if you scrape the barrel, there is none who can succeed him as IGP.

Ismail Omar is unfit to be IGP.

What is happening now is Musa is using all his resources within the mainstream media to prop up his image. He wants to make Hishammuddin look bad. He has a close relationship with Lourdes Charles of The Star and others and they are trying to spin a new tale. Unfortunately, he is looking like a ranting mad man in his death throes. He does not understand Malaysia is under civil rule and the IGP answers to a Minister. General Douglas MacArthur paid a heavy price for disobeying President Truman. The Home Minister is kind to Musa Hassan by not extending his contract only, in stead of having him investigated for his links to the underworld.
