TO My mind, after all moUrn of RUMINATION AT BF AND LUNCH TODAY< DESI was trying to solve the puzzle: all along since the 1MDB ISSue broke onto the MALAysian horizon several months ago, GANI had behaved admirably after doing a wonderful job with the help of a conscripted private sector lawyer SHafee somebody putting DS ANWAR IBRAHIM IN SUNGAI BULOh PRison.
AMIDST ALL THE MINISTERIAL SACKINGS, GANI'S REMOVAL DID NOT MAKE SENSE!
THEN I MET up wit' my BUDdhist Matey at LIDo, he believes it's KARMA COMing home to roost.
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!
BUT THEre was a premonition of this event to come if you go back to what DESI
wrote about sighting some lightning strike in some funny horizon:(~~~ IN MY POST OF mid-JULy, so TREAT TODAY'S POST AS PART II, OK!>>>

The Gathering Storm Over Malaysia: UPDATED 21 JULY 2015
Via malaysiakini.com:(~~~
AG not part of probe team, says task force
Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail
was never part of the investigators in the special task force probing
the allegations surrounding 1MDB, including RM2.6 billion being
deposited into the prime minister's private bank accounts. (DESI's knotty thinking aloud: REALLY? AFTER functioning for weeks?)The special task force said this in a joint press statement today signed by Bank Negara governor Zeti Akthar Aziz, inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Abu Kassim Mohamed.
"The special task force would like to clarify that the investigation is handled by the MACC, police and Bank Negara as the investigating agencies.
"The issue of Abdul Gani (photo) as attorney-general interfering and influencing the investigations does not arise."Instead, Abdul Gani is only referred to for guidance and legal advice to ensure the investigation is holistic and according to law," said the task force.
It was responding to reports which called for Abdul Gani to be excluded from the special task force.
This was the first statement by the task force which was only signed by the three investigating chiefs.
All previous task force statements included the attorney-general's signature.
The three agencies have different scope of investigation with Zeti, Khalid and Abu Kassim in charge at their investigation levels respectively, said the task force.

DESIDERATA: ON HINDSight from reading the sacking of a pet poodle by NAJIb, the MID-STREAM EXCLUSION OF GANI FROM THE 4-MEMBER TASK FORCE TEAM WITHOUT a proper explanation means, IMHO:~~
(1) THE A-G must have been committed a MIS-STEP IN NAJIB,S EYES -- WAS GANI too independent minded in performing his ROLE In the TASk FORce inquiring in the greatest scandal in UMNO'S HIstory? ...and GANi felt it was time he maketh history for himself too.
ONLy trouble was, no one told NAJIB THAT according to CHInese beliefs, 4 in KAtonis sounds like SEI, meaning "DEATH"!
SO literarily, it prefaced the "Death" of the first member of the 4-person TASk FOrce.
DESI recalls reading AGAtha CHristie's "TEN LITTLE INDIANS", and the murder story taxing the sleuth HERCule POIrot (Right?) in gist shows his genius in solving the deaths of the ten INDIAns -- ONE By ONE!
SO Who's SEXT TO go from the TASK FOrce? BANk NEgara governor, ZEti Akhtar AZiz, the least controversial of the remaining three?
PLaying SHYLOCK HOMES HEre/hear, MY ADVICE TO HER: GET out of the TAsk FORce before the evil forces swallow thee! YOU need some help, ask for DR What'sON at this helpline FR 19991999. FR IS for FU RONG lah, why you must ask wan? FU ROng is CHInese for "SEREMBAN" LAH, DESi's cosy hometown where all the intelligent writers reside lah! -- YL, DESI, knottyaSSusual
TO BE CONTINUED AT AROund MIDNIGht:
when DESi writHES bestlah, OK! NOW I Adjourn for a LONG LONG Dinner; JOIN me? COme to DE MIANG corner, bring your AMex, but not LINgam, OK!

Gani Patail’s removal as AG reckless and unconstitutional — Eric Paulsen

ICYMI
JULY 28 — Lawyers for Liberty views with extreme concern the sudden
removal of Attorney General Gani Patail by the Prime Minister in a wide ranging
reshuffling move that included members of his Cabinet. While it may be the PM’s
prerogative to appoint and remove members of his Cabinet, the position of the AG
is governed by the Federal Constitution.Under article 145(6) of the Constitution, the AG’s security of tenure is protected and he “shall not be removed from office except on the like grounds and in the like manner as a judge of the Federal Court.”
Under article 125(3) of the Constitution, a federal court judge (and therefore the AG) can only be removed through a tribunal that is appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for breach of code of ethics, inability, infirmity of body or mind or any other cause, to properly discharge the functions of his office.
The sudden removal of Gani Patail as the AG at the whim of the PM is shocking to say the least, and can only fuel public suspicion of interference, that this was done in bad faith as he had then headed the high level task force investigating the massive 1MDB scandal that is currently engulfing the PM’s administration.
We call on the PM not to act recklessly and in contravention of the Constitution. If Gani Patail is unable to properly discharge the functions of his office, the right thing to do is to set up a tribunal in accordance with the Constitution, so that he can properly defend himself against any charges and if warranted, he can so be removed.
