FROM Anwar Ibrahim Blog: Read here



Quote from the Lingam Video Tape

(Lawyer) Lingam: "... I put him (CJ Ahmad Fairuz) up there.

And he is acting President Court of Appeals Number 2 post. He is next Chief Justice. He always says “I leave it to you.”

Eusoff Chin and I are extremely close. Eusoff Chin in power, I can straight and get in Pom! Pom! Pom! Pom!

We put Fairuz in. I told you three months ago he became CJM
(Chief Justice Malaya). He rang up to thank me.

When PM
(Dr. Mahathir) calls me on Anwar’s case, I can tell him… he’ll listen…

I use Vincent
(Tan) and Tengku (Adnan) , go and do that. I don’t f*** them up. They go and do that.."

(Parts are slightly inaudible. This transcript may not be entirely accurate.)

LINGAM: The CJ (Chief Justice - judiciary’s No 1 post) said his relative is now the Agong, so he wants to stay on to 68, so, Tengku Adnan said - I told Tengku Adnan, yesterday I had a meeting with him - he said PM is already very angry with him … and … he said no problem, he is going to make you acting err… confirm your position as PCA (President of Court of Appeal – judiciary’s No 2), working very hard, and then get Tan Sri Mokhtar as CJM (Chief Judge of Malaya – judiciary’s No 3).

Ah, so we just keep it confidential. I am working very hard on it. Then there is a letter, according to Tengku - I am going to see him tomorrow - there is a letter sent to … ah … CJ - I mean Tan Sri Dzaiddin - that Datuk Heliliah, …er Datuk Ramli and Datuk Maarop be made judges, and he rejected that Dr Andrew Chew and apa itu Zainudin Ismail lah because Zainuddin Ismail who condemned your appointment and Tan Sri Mohtar’s appointment.

And then you also, it seems, wrote a letter for the remaining … confirmed as judges. As per our memo, I discussed with Tun Eusoff Chin and we sent the same memo to PM. I just want to get a copy letter that this has been done.

And then Tan Sri Dzaiddin said he is going to recommend six people for the Court of Appeal, but until today the letter hasn’t come to PM. He never discussed, but neither he has sent the letter to PM. He has not sent. So, I know it is under the constitution, for judges all, that is your job, Datuk, to send, but we don’t want to make it an issue now.

Ah, okay. Actually I told Tengku Adnan to inform PM, PM to call you for a meeting. But I will organise this so that Tengku Adnan will call you directly. And then I got your number, I will tell him to call you directly to for you to meet PM lah. Ah… So should be okay, then ar… correct, correct, it is very important that the key players must be there.

Correct, correct, correct. Correct, correct. You know that the same problem that Tun Eusoff Chin had. He tried to do all this and yet he has run out of soldiers. He couldn’t do it because many were from the other camp. Last time was unfortunate because Tun Daim was doing everything sabotaging, - you know lah -otherwise how are things with you - everything is okay? No, don’t worry.

You know sometimes Tan Sri Vincent said that half the time we are talking about judiciary rather than doing the work. But if I don’t do this part, my work will be useless. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Ah, yes. Correct, correct, correct, correct, correct. Right, right, right. Correct. Ah. Ah. Right! Susah. You see he has now asked for six Court of Appeal judges, so that he can put his men before he retires.

Correct, correct, correct, ah, and then, ah, ah, correct, correct, correct, correct, correct.

Ah, never mind, I will do this, I will get er… Tengku Adnan to arrange for PM to call you and Tan Sri Vincent Tan for PM to call. You know why, actually, I am very grateful to Tan Sri Vincent Tan, You know why? I brainwashed him so much I even quarreled with him.

One day I went to Vincent Tan’s house, I fired him at night in his house. I said bloody hell, if you don’t do this who will do it? All these people, Tun Eusoff Chin, Datuk Ahmad Fairuz, Tan Sri Zainal all fought for …that. Then he called Tengku Adnan. Tengku Adnan he said, saya bukan Perdana Menteri Malaysia lah, you know. If the old man doesn’t want to listen to me, go to hell.

He quarreled with me. I said never mind, never mind, Tan Sri, you talk to PM again tomorrow morning to put Datuk Ahmad Fairuz to CJM.

So next day morning he went and he called me back 9.30 that he said PM has already agreed. So I said never mind, we hope for the best. So I said no harm trying, the worst that it can happen is you lose.

Being the old man, he is 76 years old, he gets whispers everywhere, and then you don’t whisper, he get taken away by the other side. But, now the PM is very alert because every time he gets letters from Tan Sri Dzaiddin, he calls Tengku Adnan, he says discuss with Vincent, come and discuss. And…

Yes, yes, ya. Correct, correct. Ya, but you see although I know PM, but my views … I am a lawyer in practice… my views are… I go through them, I go through them lah.

Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.

And then Dzaiddin will go and tell them you went and saw PM and make a big issue out of it. Oh ya, I think so, I think so.

Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Right, okay, okay. Ah. Ah. Correct, correct.

Now I heard Raja Aziz, Raja Aziz ah, two weeks ago spoke to my lawyer Thayalan, and another lawyer Anad, in the High Court - they have a case with each other. So, Thayalan and Anad asked Raja Aziz, how is Tan Sri Wan Adnan?

He said he is on his way down. But you know what is the shocking thing he said? Datuk Fairuz became CJM. He overruled everybody, in three months time, he is going to be PCA, and six months time, he is going to be CJ. He said I can’t take this shock. He told lah. Ha!

It seems ah that they are going to organise a campaign … they are going to organise a campaign to run you down. But you just keep quiet - don’t say anything. Don’t … even the press ask, you said I leave it to God, that’s all. Don’t say. I really like your message. You said I work very hard, what can I do? I leave it to God. That’s the best answer, Datuk, that you can ever give. Ah.

Yes… I will also get Tan Sri to remind PM to put a Tan Sri ship this year lah. You know, this will elevate you, you know.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Ah. Steve Shim got so fast, Tan Sri Chong waited for a whole year to get Tan Sriship.

Ah. My God, that’s why, ah. Correct, correct, correct, correct, ya, ya, ya, ya, right, right, right, correct, correct.

Don’t worry, we organise this. And if Tan Sri Vincent and Tengku Adnan want to meet you privately, they will, I will call you. We organise a private arrangement, in a very neutral place.

No, don’t worry, Datuk, I know how much you suffered for Tun Eusoff Chin. And Tun said Datuk Ahmad Fairuz 110 percent loyalty. We want to make sure our friends are there for the sake of PM and for the sake of the country. Not for our own interest, not for our own interest. We want to make sure the country comes out well.

Well, you suffered so much, so much you have done - for the election petition, Wee Choo Keong, everything. How much, nobody would have done all these.

Yes, you know. Ah. Good lah. You don’t worry. I am constantly working on this. I…

Ya, ya, don’t worry, don’t worry. We work hard on this er Datuk. And if Tan Sri Vincent and Tengku want to see you, I will organise it in a confidential place.

Okay, Datuk, all the very best. God bless you and your family.

Okay. Thank you, thank you. Bye-bye, bye-bye.


[Off Camera Voice]:
Who is that Dato?

Lingam:
Chief Justice Malaya.

[Off Camera Voice]:
Who is that?

Lingam:
Dato Ahmad Fairuz


[Off camera voice]:
Oh Ahmad Fairuz.

Lingam:
I put him up there. Don’t tell this, please. I cannot tell this to Manjit. And he is acting President Court of Appeals Number 2 post. He is next Chief Justice. He always says “I leave it to you.”

[Off Camera Voice]:
I thought you were very close to Tun Eusoff Chin, Datuk?

Lingam:
He is Eusoff Chin’s man, Eusoff Chin retired. But Dzaiddin hates Eusoff Chin, you understand? Ah..

[Off Camera Voice]:
Because you know I…I…I..as far as I know you are very…

Lingam:
Eusoff Chin and I are extremely close. Because you know…Yeah. Eusoff Chin in power, I can straight and get in Pom! Pom! Pom! Pom!


But now Dzaiddin is there. So Dzaiddin is attacking our cases. That means what? James Kumar is aligned to Dzaiddin. But Dzaiddin is retiring in 15th of September. He is finished.

[Off camera voice]:
Next year?

Lingam:
So Dzaiddin really wants to go…Don’t worry. Dzaiddin recommended Malik Ahmad to be Chief Judge of Malaya. But we went and “cut” “cut” cut” cut” I and Tengku Adnan and Vincent told PM.


I stop him for now, because he is anti-PM. We put Fairuz in. And we put…I told you three months ago he became CJM [Chief Justice Malaya]. He said “Don’t believe.” Then he got it. He rang up to thank me.

And all that. He now acting PCA because Wan Adnan is sick. Right?


This. Apart from law knowledge you need kow tow. Please understand that. You need to know the emperor.

Knowing the law doesn’t give you the winning formula, you must also kow tow to the emperor.

Correct or not? So now I am working very hard. So he agreed to meet Vincent Tan and PM and…what you call Tengku Adnan.


[Off camera voice]:
Do you think Vincent has an interest over PM?

Lingam:
You don’t know about the history. Businesswise may not be successful. Robert Kuok is very brilliant. Lim Goh Tong is very rich.


Vincent Tan, you know what PM say? He went to Averton he went to Langkawi. He said bincang. I want you to build a hotel here. His wife pulled him away. [Inaudible] He said Dato Seri I will think about it. The wife pulled him away.

There is another [inaudible
] cannot get a bank loan. Vincent there. Vincent, can you build a hotel? Ready for next Air show?

I want you do it in 6 months. `Datuk Seri, Don’t worry, I will get it done.’ He paid double the price to get all of them. A big loss lah.


Then Solomon Island and Fiji and all, he said, Vincent go and invest there, he went and bought[inaudible] the government factory [inaudible]
you do this project a bit and cover up your loss. PM will do what he want to do to cover your backside.

[Off camera voice]:
Vincent is very close to him.

Lingam:
That’s right. Don’t ask… because Vincent has taken me to PM’s residence… the house …
[inaudible]… Anwar’s case… the lawyers…Wee Cheong … [inaudible].
But I cannot go and talk to PM just like that and say promote this and that…

Because ah, he knows… I am a… but when PM calls me on Anwar’s case, I can tell him… he’ll listen…


But if I go promote so and so, that means I got interest. So, I don’t do that. I use Vincent and Tengku, go and do that. I don’t f*** them up. They go and do that.

But I tell you this lah. Don’t tell in front of people, of course.

Life, one thing go confidential wrong is dangerous. Ah. Never, never say…You should… never. Even though to PM. You should never say.


I don’t know. I always say “I don’t know.” That’s all.

[Off camera voice]:
Everybody… I think many people know. Even the son case, everything I talk the father, …. Talk until he agreed.

Lingam:
You know me
[inaudible].
But I never talk about it. Even the son’s case, I do everything. I talk to the father…Talk until he agreed. But if it is a big crisis that affects him, ….I can talk, he will listen.

But if I want to favour somebody, that I cannot guarantee. Because my interest is not his interest. You know what I mean.


Tomorrow invest your interest involving your father, I can come say this this this, you will listen. But tomorrow I appeal for me, you are not obliged to listen. Because you are a politician, PM.

Politician is what is your interest, not what is my interest. But if I am giving advise on your interest, you will listen. On my interest, you will not. You must be careful about this.

[Off camera voice]:
Datuk, I need to ask you this question.

Lingam:
Ask me. Ask me.

[Off camera voice]:
For a while now…

Lingam:
Because we can talk behind these people.

[Off camera voice]:
… Actually, I think, you know, Daim has more equity interest in Berjaya than Vincent Tan, isn’t that true?

Lingam:
Let me tell you something …
[inaudible] was bought by Daim [inaudible]. Later on he did some deals where Daim supposed to help him.

One or two he helped. Supposed to give him some money. Didn’t give. Part was paid, part not paid. Later on Daim called up and he got paid.

COMMENTARY

  • From "Tumpang Sekoleh" Blog
    Lingam memperkudakan Tengku Adnan dan Vincent Tan untuk mengatur pertemuan PM dengan Ahmad Fairuz. Nyata Tengku Adnan dan Vincent Tan menjadi agen yang dipacak oleh Lingam untuk membuat kerja-kerja busuknya,sedangkan Ahmad Fairuz pula beria-ia sangat nak menjadi CJ. Siapakah Lingam yang boleh memberi arahan itu dan ini?

    Kata orang kalau nak dapatkan gelaran Datuk,hulur saja RM 100,000 maka dapatlah gelaran datuk. Kini gelaran Tan Sri pun boleh didapati secara jual beli.Nampaknya Lingam ini lebih hebat daripada pecacai-pecacai UMNO yang menetukan siapa yang boleh dapat Tan Sri dan siapa yang tidak boleh.Pecacai-pecacai UMNO nak letak muka kat mana?

    Falsafah Lingam,bahawa setakat tahu undang-undang saja tidak cukup,yang penting seseorang itu juga mesti pandai angkat teloq atau jilat juboq tuan di atas. Dengan berbuat demikian,apa saja yang dipohonnya akan datang bergolek.

    Lingam,Tengku Adnan dan Vincent Tan memainkan peranan untuk "reverse" keputusan bekas Hakim Negara Dzaiddin yang bercadang untuk melantik Malik Ahmad sebagai Hakim Besar Malaya,sebaliknya jawatan tersebut dapat kepada Ahmad Fairuz hasil mainan Lingam,Tengku Adnan. Entah berapa banyak lagi jawatan-jawatan utama negara ditentukan oleh 3 orang penyamun ini?

    Mengikut Lingam,PM boleh buat apa saja dia suka sama ada mengikut secara sah atau secara tak sah. PM boleh hadiah projek-projek kepada kroninya, tanpa soalsiasat,sama ada projek itu untung atau rugi belakang kira,janji siap. Si penyamun pula bila dapat projek akan tentukan keuntungannya berlipat ganda tidak kira sama ada projek ini berjaya atau gagal.

    Sekarang barulah kita tahu bahawa kes Anwar bukanlah angkara Mahathir seorang,tetapi merupakan satu konsiprasi beberapa orang termasuk Mahathir sendiri. Skrip dan plot drama itu sememangnya telah dirancang terlebih dahulu oleh orang-orang kuat yang berada dalam lingkaran Mahathir ketika itu.Dari aspek undang-undang Lingam ini mungkin dijadikan pakar rujuk. Lingam terang-terang juga menegaskan bahawa dia sememangnya menggunakan Tengku Adnan dan Vincent Tan untuk buat itu dan ini baginya.

    Lingam bukan saja menjadi penasihat kepada PM malah dalam hal rumahtangga PM, seperti kes-kes yang melibatkan anak PM,dia juga yang menjadi "intermediary".

    Kesimpulan

    a.Kes videoclip Lingam ini jelas menunjukkan betapa hebat dan kuatnya orang bernama Lingam ini sehinggakan dia boleh mengatur siapa sepatutunya menjawat jawatan Ketua Hakim Negara,Hakim Besar Malaya dan sebagainya.

    b.Lingam juga memainkan peranan besar bagi menentukan siapa sepatutnya boleh dianugerah pingat-pingat kebesaran.

    c.Lingam dan penyamun-penyamun itu sememangnya memainkan peranan yang penting dalam penentuan kes Anwar Ibrahim dan Wee Chee Keong,sehingga mereka itu telah dijatuhkan hukuman bersalah.

    Ketika semua ini sedangkan berlaku,kecuali Tengku Adnan,mana pergi pengampu- pengampu UMNO lain? Kenapakah penyangak-penyangak UMNO lain berdiam diri tidak berani bersuara? Kenapa UMNO membiarkan tiga orang penyamun-penyamun bernama Lingam,Vincet Tan dan Tengku Adnan untuk bermaharajalela ini menentukan itu dan ini?

    Nyata sekali Ahmad Fairuz harus membuat penjelasan walaupun dia telah pencen dan dia tidak lagi perlu Nazri untuk bercakap bagi pihaknya dan Nazri pula,"you are no more his minister". Lazimnya di negara-negara lain pendedahan skandal sebegini besar bukan saja memalukan nama orang-orang yang terbabit dan akan menyebabkan mereka letak jawatan,kerana malu. Jadi bila Tengku Adnan nak berbuat demikian?

    Aku juga hairan bagaimana sepandai-pandai Mahathir,akhirnya diperbodohkan dengan tipu muslihat tiga penyamun ini......
