NO Justice in Malaysia, ONLY Divine Retribution
Recently, RPK reported that Bukit Aman was abuzz with news of an MACC “visit” to the IGP’s house which led to discovery of RM1.5 million in cash. And that IGP Musa Hassan attended at the MACC HQ for 3 hours to be interviewed. He was actually there to cut a deal.

Today, Bernama reported that MACC Assistant Superintendent, M.Mohan, was charged in the Sessions Court Shah Alam on Friday with bribery involving RM250,000. Bernama’s report is reproduced below:
“An assistant superintendent with the Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was charged in the Shah Alam Sessions Court today with bribery, involving RM250,000.
M Mohan, 37, who is charged with two counts of bribery, however, pleaded not guilty and claimed trial to both the charges before judge Azhanis Teh Azman Teh. He is alleged to have solicited RM250,000 from one A. Sinnaiah as an inducement not to proceed with the investigation on him for allegedly bribing officials of the National Registration Department and the Immigration Department. Mohan is also charged with corruptly agreeing to receive bribe of RM200,000 from Sinnaiah for the same purpose.
The offences were allegedly committed at the Selangor MACC office, 14th Floor, Plaza Masalam, Jalan Tengku Ampuan Zabedah, E9/E, Section 9 here, between 11am and 1pm on October 22 last year. Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Asnawi Abu Hanipah suggested bail at RM10,000 in one surety.
Lawyer Ratha Krishnan, who represented Mohan, when requesting for an appropriate bail, said his client, who had a wife and child to support, had been with MACC for 15 years and gave his cooperation during investigation of the case.
Azhanis set bail at RM7,000 in one surety and ordered Mohan to surrender his passport to the court. He set four days, beginning August 23, for trial.” – Bernama (February 19, 2010).
The Persecution of Lawyer Rosli Dahlan
M.Mohan a/l P. Mutaiyah is the same officer named as the 11th Defendant in Lawyer Rosli Dahlan’s RM50 million suit against Utusan Malaysia and the Government of Malaysia. He is the same officer who led a team of other officers who stormed into the lawyer’s office in 2007. He is the same MACC Tua Kau (Big Dog) who came without any warrant and then shouted at and humiliated Rosli Dahlan in front of his staff.
Mohan is the same Enforcer, with a shiny MACC Badge pinned on his black jacket, which he used as a license to manhandle, assault and abuse Rosli. He is the same Intimidator who playfully taunted Rosli with the handcuffs in his hand. He is that arrogant Mohan who then handcuffed Rosli so tightly that Rosli’s wrist bled and swelled almost immediately, and then refused to allow Rosli to make a police report of the injury he had suffered.
M.Mohan of MACC did all that to Lawyer Rosli on the eve of Hari Raya Puasa 2007 so that the government controlled mainstream media could splash on the front pages of all the major newspapers about the arrest of that lawyer as Hari Raya reading for all Malaysians. That, in a nutshell, was the MACC’s game plan, that is, to inflict maximum embarrasment and humiliation to Lawyer Rosli and to wreck and ruin his law practice. This is a SOP (standard operating procedure) when a citizen becomes MACC’s target. And this much admired and courageous lawyer was unfortunate to be that target in 2007.
Why did all that happen to Rosli Dahlan?
