Permohonan menangguh sidang perbicaraan buat beberapa minggu untuk membolihkan saya mendapatkan ketua pasukan guaman baru ditolak.
Saudara Sivarasa menyatakan bantahan keras sabelum meneruskan dengan penghujahan. Saudara Edmund dan Amir kemudiannya memperkukuh alasan untuk mendapatkan dokumen dan keterangan; termasuk isu konspirasi, kes memalsukan keterangan dan lain-lain.
Jawapan pendakwaraya saperti biasa menyentuh “kuasa” mereka, mengenepikan sama sekali prinsip keadilan. Amat dikesali sikap angkuh dan zalim beliau tatkala mempertahankan hukuman ke atas Sukma Darmawan.
Menurutnya, keterangan pakar forensik bahawa tidak ada sebarang masukan dalam dubur tidak relevan kerana beliau (Sukma) telah mengaku.
Waduh, si bahlul pun faham “pengakuan” orang yang didera dalam lokap saperti yang kemudiannya disahkan olih hakim Mahkamah Rayuan!
Satu dasawarsa telah berlalu, dan tak banyak yang berubah. Kepada yang mahu kes disegerakan, tanya saja Mahkamah Syari’ah – mengapa lembab satelah satu tahun berlalu?
Ikut hukum Islam atau pimpinan parti?

KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — When Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak met visiting Indonesian reporters ahead of his official visit to Jakarta in April, he singled out businessman Peter Sondakh.
The Indonesian billionaire’s investments in two large Malaysian hotels were a prime example of the close links between the two countries, he said.
Last month, Malaysia’s King conferred the prestigious title of Tan Sri on Sondakh. It was a rare honour for a foreign businessman who hardly has a public profile beyond his country.
It was not the first time Sondakh was visiting the palace. The controlling shareholder of the Rajawali Group, an Indonesian conglomerate with diverse interests ranging from cement to cigarettes, was also at the palace when Najib was sworn in as Malaysia’s sixth Prime Minister in April. He was among a select few private individuals invited to the event.
Sondakh’s growing prominence is stirring interest among Malaysia-watchers (more…)

KUALA LUMPUR, July 15, 2009 — The people in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s inner circle;
Tan Sri Peter Sondakh
Sondakh advises Najib on Indonesia.
He came into contact with Najib when he was negotiating to sell a controlling interest in his telecommunications group, Excelcomindo Pratama, to Malaysia’s national telecommunications company Telekom Malaysia in 2004.
Flush with cash from the sale of his telecommunications group, Sondakh, now 57, acquired hotels in Malaysia, including the Sheraton Imperial. The latter was owned by a financially troubled unit controlled by Telekom Malaysia’s parent company Khazanah Holdings, the country’s state-owned investment agency.
Since then, Sondakh has emerged as an informal personal adviser to Najib on matters related to Indonesia.
Omar Mustapha
Omar was Najib’s aide when he was DPM.
The one-time special assistant to Najib owns a business consultancy called Ethos & Co.
Omar, who is 38 years old, also has links with Sondakh.
The two struck up a relationship several years ago when Omar was assigned by (more…)
Petang semalam ketua pasukan pembelaan saya memaklumkan bahawa beliau terpaksa berundur dari kes saya dan lain-lain kerana keuzuran. Kita turut mendoakan kesejahteraan saudara Haji Sulaiman dan terpaksa menerima keputusan beliau dengan sedih dan berat sekali.
Dalam keadaan terdesak sademikian peguam saya mengusulkan agar ditangguh perbicaraan bagi membolihkan saya melantik ketua pasukan guaman baru. Hakim lantas menolak dan menetapkan perbicaraan pada jam 2 petang hari ini.
Ini agak janggal dan menunjukkan aliran perjalanan mahkamah yang dikhuatiri mengulangi kezaliman lampau. Persoalannya ialah siapa yang menyebabkan penangguhan? Mengapakah Gani Patail terus zalim dan berdendam sehingga konco-konconya gagal menyerahkan dokumen hingga sekarang. Ini termasuk lapuran perubatan Pusrawi!
