BREAKING NEWS!!!! THE STAR DEFEATED AND HUMBLED
by Din Merican
This morning I prepared myself to go to the Jalan Duta Court Complex to observe the trial where Lawyer Rosli Dahlan is suing The Star newspaper for defaming him in 2007. While I was on the way, I was told that it’s over and I can turn back home.
Over? What do you mean it’s over. The trial hasn’t even started, so how can it be over?
Is Rosli being prevented again from telling his story in court? Or is this another ploy to prevent me from reporting on Rosli’s trials and tribulations to bring accountability to those “Rogues in Government” and the mainstream media which worked hand in glove with these rogues to destroy his career and reputation?
In 2007, the mainstream media conspired with the Unholy Trinity consisting of former IGP Musa Hassan, A-G GaniPatail and rogue elements in the MACC to discredit Dato Ramli Yusuff’s investigation into Musa Hassan’s link with the underworld Along loan shark syndicate of Goh Cheng Poh @ Tengku Goh. When A-G Gani Patail abdicated his constitutional duty by refusing to prepare affidavits for the Police CCID, Rosli thought that it would be his patriotic duty to act for the Deputy Home Minister Dato Johari Baharom, CCID Director Dato Ramli Yusuff and six rank and file Policemen. So, he prepared their affidavits, which was a fatal mistake. This angered A-G Gani Patail who wanted to release Tengku Goh.
A-G Gani Patail was already angry with Rosli for helping the CCID’s investigation against Malaysia Airlines former Chairman Tan Sri Tajuddin Ramli whereas AG Gani Patail wanted to NFA that case. Unknown to Rosli, A-G Gani Patailhad a covert relationship with Tajudidn’s proxy, Shahidan Shafie. This only came to light in 2011 when A-G Gani Patailwent to hajj with Shahidan Shafie like one big happy family, and they even shared their rooms! Yet, A-G Gani Patail was cleared by the MACC.
On the other hand, for helping the Police and MAS against these crooks, A-G Gani Patail made use of the MACC to fix Rosli. So, on the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2007, Rosli was brutally arrested, dragged in handcuffs, kept in the MACC underground dungeon overnight deprived of food and sleep to disorientate him. The next day, they paraded him like a circus animal along the Jalan Duta Court’s corridors in handcuffs and then charged him in court.
The mainstream media had a field day. Here was a senior Malay lawyer with an unblemished record and good standing in society that will be taught a lesson for going against the establishment. They were intent on making him an example so that others will never ever dare to go against those in the corridors of power. So they sensationalised the “ RM27 Million Cop Story and said that Rosli is a Singapore lawyer implying that he had hidden that money in Singapore.
They knew that was untrue. They knew that was false. But they didn’t care. This was a demolition exercise and they will make minced meat out of Rosli. That was what that was supposed to happen.
