No Police Report? No Cooperation!

In my short stint as a practising Lawyer I find it incredibly incredible for both the Government and the RMP in labelling Anwar as being uncooperative and making headline statements in the press announcing as such. My stand is clear - Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim should not give any cooperation to any person based on any accusation on the sole premise that no copy of the police report against him is given. Anwar has a right to know his accuser and the subject matter of the accusation. Incidentally, in Parliament, Khairy Jamaluddin even seem to be inferring that he has read a copy of the bloody report! What treachery is this?!

The Bar Council in early 2008 in the midst of being investigated for the Human Rights Day incident and the March for Peace in Putrajaya was 'interviewed' by the RMP. When a question was about to be asked, the lawyers for the Bar Council objected and asked for a copy of the 'First Information Report -FIR' lodged against them. The investigative officers were shocked and clueless knowing that no report was there to be tabled and shown to the Bar Council and left without asking further.

I call upon the lawyers of Anwar to initiate an injunction from the High Court restraining the RMP from conducting any further so-called investigation against Anwar until and unless a copy of the report is made with an apology. An additional application for a declaration that the arrest and detention was made mala-fide and an abuse of the process should also be made against the CID Director and an independent second report be made to the ACA for misuse of power against the CID Director with the IGP and the Government of Malaysia be liable vicariously.
