August 7, 2015. Former Umno Supreme Council member Datuk
Saifuddin Abdullah has slammed the transfer of two Malaysian Anti-Corruption
Commission (MACC) officials to the Prime Minister's Department as a
"blatant show of power".
MACC special operations division chief Datuk Bahri Mohamad Zin and strategic
communications director Datuk Rohaizad Yaakob were transferred with immediate
effect for "disciplinary issues" earlier today.
"This is a blatant show of power and shows that there are people who
are not happy with MACC's efforts to find the truth," Saifuddin told The
Malaysian Insider today in reaction to the transfer.
Their transfer comes shortly after seven MACC officers
were interrogated, its offices raided twice, and two of its officers detained
overnight by the police within the period of a week.
MACC was investigating SRC International, a company formerly linked to
1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and currently under the Finance Ministry.
The police alleged leaks in the 1MDB probe and zoomed in on MACC.
"This will strengthen the perception that there is a clear
obstruction for MACC to do their duties," said Saifuddin.
In his Twitter account, he also described the transfer as
"madness".
Saifuddin is also the CEO of the Global Movement of Moderates.
He is generally known as a moderate in Umno and has often disagreed with
his party colleagues on national policy matters. – August 7, 2015.

Return my officers immediately, take me instead, says
MACC’s No. 2

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy chief commissioner
(operations) Datuk Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull today has asked Putrajaya to
reinstate two of his top men who were transferred to the Prime Minister's
Department today.
As a trade-off, he has offered himself instead,
saying that the duo – MACC director (special operations) Datuk Bahri Mohamad
Zin and MACC director of strategic communications Datuk Rohaizad Yaakob – were
only acting on his orders.
"Return my officers immediately. Take me as a replacement. They did and acted based on my instructions," said Shukri in a text message to The Malaysian Insider.
"Return my officers immediately. Take me as a replacement. They did and acted based on my instructions," said Shukri in a text message to The Malaysian Insider.
Shukri was reportedly abroad on official duty.
He was responding to reports on the immediate
transfer of both Bahri and Rohaizad.
Both are expected to report to the department on Monday.
Bahri has been very vocal in his comments against the police over their
actions in their investigation against MACC on the alleged leakage of
classified government documents in the agency's 1Malaysia Development Berhad
(1MDB) probe.
It is understood that both were transferred for their “hard hitting”
statements following the police raids and arrests of MACC officers.
MACC's response to the “continuous attack” against them and the soft
approach toward opposition leaders during their visit at the agency’s
headquarters yesterday was believed to be among the contributing factors
leading to their transfer.
Sources said that both were transferred due to "disciplinary
problems".
It was also understood that special branch officers were also present
yesterday to conduct 'profiling' of the key MACC officers including Rohaizad,
who were present during the meeting with opposition leaders.
It is not known what roles the two will be taking at the Prime Minister's
Department as everyone seemed shocked and clueless over the transfer order.
Bahri was last seen leaving the MACC headquarters at 6.30pm waving to his
subordinates before being driven away in a maroon Proton Inspira.
Meanwhile, Rohaizad left the building at 7pm, and was escorted to his Proton
Waja by his men.
He declined to comment on the matter. – August 7, 2015.

Negri prince wears black in solidarity with The Edge,
calls for press freedom

Negri Sembilan prince Tunku Zain Al-Abidin
speaks at the Malaysian Student Leaders Summit at the Renaissance Hotel in Kuala Lumpur today. – The
Malaysian Insider pic by Kamal Ariffin, August 8, 2015. Negri Sembilan prince
Tunku Zain Al-Abidin today donned black and blue in solidarity with The Edge
Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily following the suspensions of both
publications for their critical reporting of debt-ridden state investor
1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
He also made a plea for press freedom, saying a progressive country needed
media that could report freely.
"In recent days we have seen some attacks on media freedom. Today I
am wearing black and blue in solidarity with The Edge," he told student
leaders at the Malaysian Student Leaders Summit in Kuala Lumpur today.
Earlier today, journalists and activists gathered for a
rally in solidarity with The Edge's publications, which were suspended by the
Home Ministry due to their reportage on the 1Malaysia Development Berhad
(1MDB), drawing a
crowd of about 400 donning black and blue.
The colours were chosen to represent the "bruising" of the media
through suppression of its reporting and pressure to ensure that reports did
not fall foul of the authorities.
Tunku Zain said a thriving civil society and a free press were needed to
gauge the ground sentiments in the country, citing attempts to interpret the
Federal Constitution differently in recent times.
"The country itself is not static. Of course, some might argue that
past intentions (on the constitution) don't carry special legitimacy in today's
situation," he said.
"But for that we need a thriving civil society and a free press to
gauge what the people are talking about in the mamak shops, and the golf
courses," he added.
He said that more groundwork needs to be done before the country can
"rehabilitate", saying that the nation needs to decide the real
meaning of the constitution and the purpose of the institutions that were put
in place during its independence.
"What our nation is about? Who are the institutions created
for?" he said.
Tunku Zain repeatedly stressed the need to make appropriate
interpretations of the original intentions of the constitution, instead of
individuals claiming to know of the original intentions to suit their own
purposes. – August 8, 2015.
