Take action

Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has lodged a police report demanding that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) take immediate action on an earlier report he had lodged against Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan.

In the report lodged in July last year, Anwar claimed that in 1998, the A-G and Musa had fabricated evidence against him after he was assaulted by the then IGP Tan Sri Rahim Noor in a police lock-up.

“It has been over eight months now and there is no sign of any action being taken by the MACC.

“We were told in Parliament last December by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz that the investigation papers were with the A-G who is (allegedly) implicated in an offence of fabricating evidence,” he said adding that Nazri then said he would reply to his claims in due course.

Anwar said this after lodging a police report at the Damansara Utama police station here.

In yesterday’s report, he claimed that the A-G and Musa’s role in the conspiracy resulted in then Brickfields OCPD ACP Koh Hong Sun allegedly lodging a false police report in Sept 1998.

Both Gani and Musa denied Anwar’s charges against them. Musa has filed a defamation suit against Anwar.
