Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; July 17, 2008
On Saturday, 12-07-2008, the police came to my house to serve a Section 111
Criminal Procedure Code notice, harassing my family and demanding my
presence at the IPK Kuala Lumpur (Federal Territories Police headquarters)
at 2pm on Monday, 14-07-2008 despite an earlier agreement with my lawyers
for me to come to the IPK on Monday 14-07-2008. On the next day, Sunday, the
police also served an ex-parte court order, prohibiting me from physically
being within 5 km from the Parliament on Monday 14-07-2008. As you can see,
my house and the IPK KL are within 5 km radius from the parliament building.
The court order effectively put me under house arrest on Monday and at the
same time prevented me from going to the IPK.
On Monday, 14-07-2008, the presence of police personnel outside the compound
of my house strengthened our suspicions that they would be prepared to
arrest me as soon as I left the compound of my residence, on the pretext of
me violating the court order. The issue here, is which order should I comply
with, the ex-parte court order or the Section 111 notice from the police?
On the same day, the police through the Investigating Officer, one DSP Jude
Pereira wrote and faxed to my lawyer at about 1.06pm, informing that I was
required to be present at the IPK KL on Wednesday, 16-07-2008 at 2.00 pm to
assist with the investigation. I conveyed my agreement to the appointment
and it was communicated to the police through my solicitor, Messrs S.N Nair
and Partners via telephone and letter on the same day.
On Wednesday, 16-07-2008, I was at the Anti Corruption Agency (BPR) head
office to record my statement pursuant to the police report lodged by me at
IPK Shah Alam on 01-07-2008, against the Attorney General Gani Patail and
the Inspector General of Police Musa Hassan for their involvement in the
fabrication of evidence way back in 1998. To ensure that we will be able to
attend the appointment with the police at 2pm, we cut short our statement at
the BPR's office, and this fact was clearly conveyed to the BPR officers
present.
At about 12.45 pm, the IO, DSP Jude Pereira called Mr Nair to confirm about
our attendance and Mr. Nair confirmed that we would attend that 2pm
appointment. We were about to have a quick lunch at my house before
proceeding to the IPK. 5 minutes later, we were ambushed by a team of masked
and heavily armed police personnel near my house.
I was arrested and brought to the IPK. I cooperated fully with the police by
giving my cautioned statement from 2.30 pm to about 7.30 pm. At this
particular point, the IO and the other officers handling this case were
doing their job professionally. I was then given assurances by Assistant
Commissioner of Police Razali and later Senior Assistant Commissioner II
Khor (through my lawyer) that I would be released on police bail on the same
day.
However, later on, upon my return from Kuala Lumpur General Hospotal (HKL),
the IO, DSP Jude Pereira informed me and my lawyers that I will be detained
and put in the police lock-up overnight for the purpose of recording a
further statement in the morning.
I and my lawyers protested, giving our undertaking that we will be back
anytime required by the police to continue with the recording of the
statement, and there was no need for me to be detained overnight, and that I
should be released on police bail. The police, through the IO were adamant
that I should be detained and put in the police lock-up overnight, despite
them knowing about my physical condition. I had to spend the night sleeping
on a cold cement floor, which aggravated my back injury which was due to the
beating I received from the then IGP, Tan Sri Rahim Nor on 20th September,
1998.
This morning, after a short statement that was recorded for about 30
minutes, I was released on police bail. I was in pain and had to immediately
receive some medical treatment upon my return home.
I now wish to deal with the statement of the Criminal Investigation
Department (CID) Director, Dato Mohd Bakri Mohd Zinin as appeared in *Utusan
Malaysia* today, inter alia
* "Pasukan khas bertopeng polis terpaksa memintas kenderaan DSAI di Bukit
Segambut di sini dan menahan Anwar ekoran tindakan Penasihat PKR itu
mengubah haluan kenderaannya pada saat-saat tempoh yang diberi kepadanya
untuk menyerah diri kepada polis pada pukul 2 petang ini hampir berakhir"*
This is a blatant lie from the CID director to cover up their shameful act
of abuse of police powers. I have given the assurances and had just informed
the IO 5 minutes before the disgraceful ambush by the police through my
lawyer who was with me in the same car.
In addition to the above, the Deputy Home Minister, Wan Farid said, as
reported in *Star Online* that, I "went voluntarily to the police car
without any incident." Again, this is also a blatant lie by the government.
I take to task the IGP for this abuse of police power against me through the
events I've narrated above. It appears that the events of the last few days,
the nature of my unwarranted arrest, my overnight incarceration which was
actually absolutely unnecessary, were an act of personal vengeance against
me in retaliation to the reports I lodged earlier against him, which are now
being investigated by the ACA.
DNA
I have reasonable grounds for having no confidence in the system. In the
course of the trial of the false allegations of sodomy in 1998, DNA evidence
was fabricated and used against me. The persons responsible for the
fabrication then were the IGP, SAC Rodwan and the AG, are new key players in
this investigation.
Until now, I have been denied access to the police report made by the
accuser against me.
My accuser is still under police protection and as such, any fabrication is
possible if they take my DNA. My decision to refuse a DNA test is taken
through advice of my lawyers and DNA experts, both local and overseas.
