Un-sodomised?

If anyone claimed to be sodomised, it looks like it has to be the Government…

Whilst the Government at large (Pak Lah been doing the MIA role) have kept away from being involved the alleged Anwar’s sodomy case, 2 main people from the Government, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Home Minister have been in the mess, neck level from the very start. And the mess now seemed to have hit the fan.

Now there seems to be a leaked medical report and the details (if true) are not in favour of the Government or the police. From Malaysian Insider:-

Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin’s claimed that Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid from Hospital Pusrawi found no signs that Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan had any injuries consistent with sodomy in a June 28 medical report. Saiful had lodged a report on that day that Anwar had sodomised him two days earlier and on other occasions when they travelled together abroad.

If one reads the entry at Malaysia Today, it was further revealed:-

Dr Mohamed Osman examined Saiful but found no evidence that he had been sodomised, either by Anwar Ibrahim or anyone else for that matter. The doctor’s report (which can be viewed below) says that there is zero (0) skin tearing, zero (0) active bleeding, zero (0) traces of pus, etc., which basically means he can’t be suffering from a pain in the anus as what he alleges.

The doctor’s diagnosis is that he rules out or TRO (to rule out) assault (sodomised). In short: Mohd Saiful Bukhari Bin Azlan is not suffering any pain in the anus and neither was he assaulted or sodomised in the anus.

Saiful then said he would like to make a police report so Dr Mohamed Osman suggested he go for a second medical examination at a government hospital. Saiful did so and the doctor at the government hospital also came out with the same diagnosis. Nevertheless, Saiful still made his police report at the pondok police in the hospital.

If 2 doctors on different occasions and hospitals have confirmed that Saiful was not sodomised, then why the police and the Government have not dropped the case? Is there a fabrication of evidence at work? Raja Petra seems to thinks so:-

Well, that doctor’s name is Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid from the Hospital Pusrawi and he has now taken his entire family and has gone into hiding because the police are looking for him and they want him to change his medical report.

Just like the Razak’s PI who has gone into hiding, the doctor has done the same – the only difference between the two is the Razak PI implicated the DPM whilst the doctor freed Anwar from an earlier implication. Both of which does not look good for the police and the Government, no matter how one sees it.

Will the Home Minister cause another “mother of all traffic jams” to track this doctor down now? Will Pak Lah order another Cabinet level committee to study the “originality” of this medical report before recommending to the police? After all, not everyone can interpret doctor’s writing correctly, don’t they? And it is possible that such report was created to distract the sodomy investigations.  

One thing for sure, the actions by the Government on the allegations against Anwar are getting comical by the day and we, the citizens aren’t standing by and laughing. We want the truth and we want to get on with our life – we need the Government to start working on our problems instead working on their own personal problems.

I leave you with this quote from a letter in Malaysiakini:-

The police are proud of their ‘royal’ tag but do they deserve it? Have they lived up to their name? Have their actions been noble? I think we know the answer. They must prove they are not mere political pawns but enforcers of the law without fear or favour.  

Certainly we want someone to start acting strictly – will the police come clean, now that more “evidence” in support of Anwar seems to be cropping up now? And if they think the purported medical report is fake, to provide the real one? By the way, the last recount, the police have still yet to provide Anwar with the police report. Who shall we trust these days?

Slamming the phone

I just hate this…

Someone calls and from the other end is not happy with my actions or decisions and just when I am trying to explain on why I took the said actions or  decisions, they slam down the phone. Very unprofessional!

You have a problem? We can negotiate, we can discuss, we can clarify, we can even compromise but once you slammed on the phone (as if I work for you), all deals are off and we stick back to original agreement.

Some people take goodwill for granted – they think that we are duty bound to provide certain obligations without them realising that the obligations provided is on a goodwill basis and is not meant to be permanent.

What they try to achieve here? Showing that they are “really” not happy? They could have just emailed or “sms-ed” me – I would have got the hints but don’t think that it will change my decisions. It hardly gets dents.

Police Roadblocks: The Evolution Part 3

Read Part 1 here and Part 2 here

Roadblocks in 2000s

Certainly the evolution of police roadblocks started to take the ridiculous path in recent times and it started with the last year’s BERSIH & HINDRAF rallies.

When there call for public demonstrations, the police is swift to put roadblocks around Klang Valley in the mornings, making the traffic grinding almost to a stop. Often the road blocks goes up a day before the event, intensified during the actual day of the event and sometimes maintained the day after event have taken place.

Haven’t the police learned anything about KL traffic jams all these years? One broken lorry in KL is all that is needed to create notorious traffic jams, what more of a coordinated police road blocks around Klang Valley. The doomsday was falling on Klang Valley.

I experienced such road blocks once where 4 lanes of cars was pushed to only lane where one lonely policeman stand watching the chaos whilst the rest of the policemen was relaxing on the side of the road.

Despite such tight roadblocks, it did not stop thousands of people from joining the BERSIH & HINDRAF rallies, making both highly successful events of 2007, just before the last general election. It is clear that roadblocks failed to do what the police or rather the government intended to do – it on the other hand created massive traffic jams, leaving many drivers fuming mad.

BERSIH & HINDRAF rallies were held on the weekends and the impact on the morning rush was somehow minimised (roadblocks on Fridays however still left many late for work and appointments). Despite this, it still created unnecessary problems for many innocent road users.

During the HINDRAF rally for instance, the police was busy turning away or holding up any buses which was full of Indians, irregardless of the purpose and destination of their journey. There was a report of a bus full of Indians who were heading for a marriage (and not for rallies) was held up and brought to the police station for further questioning.

The mystery of recent roadblocks is further compounded when road blocks is being setup for political reasons rather than for real national security and crime management. The proof of Hindraf’s linkages with Tamil Elam terrorist cells remains elusive till this day and the Hindraf 5 remains in castration under the reasons of threatening the national security.

Want another roadblock? Just spread the rumours of public rallies (never mind if it for a worthy cause), the government gets spooked and you get the roadblocks (15 or more around Klang Valley) – at least, that is what the recent acts of roadblocks seem to be telling us.
