Sometimes, the past can return and bite you on your bottom. Ouch!
Cast your mind back to February 2015. The Sodomy II trial which finally nailed former Opposition Anwar Ibrahim, has just ended. Anwar is jailed. His earlier High Court acquittal was overturned. He is thrown into Sungei Buloh prison, to serve his five-year-sentence.
The lead prosecutor, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, was roped in by Najib Abdul Razak, who for reasons known only to himself, decided NOT to use the government’s own Public Prosecutors.
Nancy Shukri told parliament, Shafee was paid RM1,000. Last week, Sarawak Report (SR) alleges that Najib paid Shafee, RM9.5 million. Why?
The rakyat, Anwar and the whole world awaits a response from Najib and Shafee.
So far, there is no news from them? Why not? This is a serious allegation.
Back to 2015.
Anwar is jailed. He had been tried, and convicted.
So, why was it necessary for Shafee and the Sports Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin, to go on a roadshow, throughout Malaysia, to convince the rakyat of Anwar’s guilt. If my sources are correct, Shafee took his roadshow to London to shame Anwar in front of Malaysian students and Malaysians working and living there.
The despicable duo were trying to convince the public that Anwar’s guilty verdict was justified .
Below are excerpts from various news reports at the time.
Shafee sexed-up the talk
The duo wasted no time in a total humiliation of Anwar and the first roadshow started on Feb 17, one week after the Federal Court upheld the opposition leader’s conviction and prison sentence. They streamed the Kelana Jaya roadshow live.
Shafee described the purported foreplay and said, “Anwar mencubit-cubit dia punya puting” (Anwar pinched Saiful’s nipples).
Journalists checked their court transcript on the in-camera evidence, and found no mention of this supposed foreplay.
One person who went said, “People walked out. They wanted to hear legal reasons, not lascivious and lurid stuff, fed by Shafee’s warped imagination.”
Audiences stayed away from subsequent roadshows, and the government cancelled its sponsorship; but both Shafee and Khairy continued regardless.
No pleasure
Shafee told his audience that he took “no pleasure” in the Federal Court’s decision to convict Anwar, because “a young man’s life has been wrecked.”
He also said, “I know that justice has finally been done, so I am professionally satisfied with the result.”
He told reporters that Anwar was a “coward“.
Really Shafee? The SR allegation puts a different complexion on everything.
Let us be the judge of your “professionalism”, once you tell us about the SR allegation.
Not a story about politics
As for Shafee, his words about the trial will now haunt him.
Claiming that this was not a story about politics, but a “human story”, he then said, “This is a story about all men, regardless of their power, being equal before the law.”
The story has nothing to do with politics, power and justice. Really? Kindly explain how the RM9.5 million allegation fits in with the broader picture?
Sports minister handling of the “truth”
At the roadshows, Khairy who is also the Umno-Baru Youth Chief, would speak before Shafee. He explained that they invited Shafee to “bring the truth” and confirmed that BN will no longer keep silent on the conspiracy charge.
Oh dear! Look who’s looking daft now! Will he respond to the SR allegation?.
There is more to the conspiracy charge, which in 2015, the whole BN machinery was trying to kill.
Shame also to the erstwhile, Deputy Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, for agreeing that Shafee’s roadshow, could take place.
Shame on you Khairy! When the time comes for an Umno-Baru leadership contest and your name enters the ring, we will remember your poor judgment of participating in Shafee’s porno-roadshow.
Better still, quit politics. Focus on playing polo!
Sura 104, The Backbiter (Al-Humazah)
[104:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[104:1] Woe to every backbiter, slanderer.
[104:2] He hoards money and counts it.
[104:3] As if his money will make him immortal.
[104:4] Never; he will be thrown into the Devastator.
[104:5] Do you know what the Devastator is?
[104:6] GOD’s blazing Hellfire.
[104:7] It burns them inside out.
[104:8] They will be confined therein.
[104:9] In extended columns.

[6:70] You shall disregard those who take their religion in vain, as if it is a social function, and are totally absorbed in this worldly life. Remind with this (Quran), lest a soul may suffer the consequences of its evil earnings. It has none beside GOD as a Lord and Master, nor an intercessor. If it could offer any kind of ransom, it would not be accepted. They suffer the consequences of the evil works they earn; they have incurred hellish drinks, and a painful retribution because of their disbelief.
Khairy Jamaluddin, the arrogant brat, who preaches racists hatred to gain political support and power is nothing but a loud mouth thug. He attended a top university in the world but failed to be educated to be a normal decent human being. It is really revealing that such a brutish loud mouth thug is the “youth leader” of UMNO which tell us the depth of the gutter UMNO has sunk. This low-life sub-human thug brings shame to his university and his country. It is tragic that there are far too many Khairy like thugs holding “high” positions within UMNO, MCA, MIC and all BN hanger-ons.
