More AP Bombshells from Carbon Copy
While DPM Najib Razak was announcing to the media in Parliament this evening the Cabinet decision that Rafidah Aziz must come to Parliament as soon as possible to explain the APs scandal, MP for Batu Gajah Fong Po Kuan was getting Carbon Copy’s fuller analysis of the controversial MPs’ AP list from 2000 to September 2005 printed in the Parliament machine room for limited distribution to the press and other MPs.
Carbon Copy’s latest email on his full analysis of the controversial MPs’ AP list, which reached me in the Parliament chamber after the lunch session, contained more AP bombshells.
The five bombshells (highlights) of Carbon Copy’s findings are:
One person with triple AP.
Seven persons with double AP.
The List is for APs given from 2000 to September 2005 but the List released on 20th September 2005 shows that APs have been given right up to December 2005.
Ministry of International Trade and Industry was opened on eight Sundays during the period to issue APs to 16 MPs.
Three names on the List differ from SPR database using the same IC No.
Carbon Copy has already identified one MP with three APs and six MPs with two APs in his first two emails to me in Parliament, which I had instantly highlighted on the floor of Parliament. The seventh MP with two APs is:
Habshah binti Osman [74, 33] 2002, 2005
16 MPs who were issued APs on a Sunday were:
1 Abdul Fatah bin Othman 12/11/00
269 Ahmad Shabery Cheek 07/08/05
49 Ali @ Fadzil bin Md Noor 05/08/01
182 Chong Set Mui 12/10/03
8 Chow Kon Yeow 12/11/00
277 Chua Kim Chuan 07/08/05
89 Henry Sum Agong 05/08/01
76 Safinah binti Jusoh 07/10/01
93 Richard Riot Anak Jaem 05/08/01
72 Mohd Nasir Che Daud 05/08/01
191 Samsiah bt Samsudin 12/10/03
79 Siti Zailah binti Mohd Yusoff 07/10/01
38 Wan Nik Wan Yusoff 12/11/00
227 Wan Ubaidah binti Omar 02/05/04
143 Ramli bin Ibrahim 06/10/02
14 Ismail bin Noh 12/11/00
Ten persons were allegedly given APs by MITI for the month of October, November and December of 2005, viz:
273 Hashim bin Jahaya 07/12/05
232 Idris bin Haron 01/12/05
279 Nik Azizah bt Nik Yahya 01/12/05
225 Syed Ali bin Abbas Alhabshe 01/12/05
272 Abdul Rashid Ngah 07/11/05
286 Nasarudin bin Hashim 01/10/05
21 (ExMP) Ibrahim bin Ali 05/11/05
23 (ExMP) Saad bin Man 05/11/05
24 (ExMP) Lee Chong Meng 07/11/05
35 (ExMP) Hanipah Ahmad 01/10/05
With the given IC Number in the Rafidah List, Carbon Copy did a cross reference with the Election Commission data base at http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/. Three names raise the alert that their IC No. in the Rafidah List did not match with Election Commission (SPR) database, viz:
MITI List Name - SPR Database Name
2 Abdul Hadi Ahmad - Abdul Hadi Awang
13 Husam Musa - Mohammad bin Yusoff
274 Safinah binti Jusoh - Wan Khadijah binti Ab Kadir
After a media conference at the Parliament lobby to release Carbon Copy’s bombshells, I gave a copy to Nazri Aziz, the Minister in the PM’s Department for onward transmission to the Cabinet. Copies were also given to MPs, including Barisan Nasional, and all were unanimous in their outrage.
I was asked by the media for my reaction to the Cabinet directive to Rafidah to appear in Parliament “as soon as possible” to account for the APs scandal.
It is most shameful, reflecting adversely not only on Rafidah but also the Cabinet and the Prime Minister that parliamentary democracy in the country has reached such a deplorable pass that the second most senior Minister in the country marking her 25th anniversary in the Cabinet this month should be reminded of her most elementary duties. This is one unusual case where the saying “teaching grandmother to suck eggs” is most apt and appropriate.
Rafidah should not be given the leeway to take her sweet time to decide when she wants to appear in Parliament to account for the APs scandal. She should drop everything she is doing until she had honoured the principle of parliamentary accountability and responsibility of her Ministerial functions. In fact, she should rush to Parliament on her return from overseas to make full amends for her imperial arrogance and contempt for Parliament.
If Rafidah is not prepared to do either, she has no place in the Cabinet for the 48-year-old Malaysian system of parliamentary democracy never conceived of an Imperial Minister who is above Parliament or a Minister-in-exile from Parliament, spending most of her time overseas.
