'Video MP' releases a two-minute video showing alleged case fixing within the judiciary.
UPDATED
PETALING JAYA: Kelana Jaya MP Loh Gwo Burne, who became an overnight sensation with the VK Lingam tapes, has released a new video clip which he claimed showed another case fixing within the judiciary.
The two-minute video, recorded by his father Mui Fah, showed an alleged case fixing involving “high-profile” judges a few years ago.
The video clip shows Mui Fah discussing a civil case with an accountant in which both were involved.
In the video clip, Mui Fah was seen discussing about the accountant’s relationship with a certain “W”, purportedly a senior judge, and another named J.
“W you know very well. Your good friend! So you can ask W to help you,” said Mui Fah.
“Yeah … but no need. J [another friend] is there! My good friend. J, my old wheeler dealer broker,” said the professional.
The pseudonyms “W” and “J” could not be heard in the video clip but were provided in the transcripts distributed by Gwo Burne.
“We have provided information and evidence of continuing malpractice and fixing of cases to the highest bidder,” Mui Fah told a press conference here.
“Like it or not, justice in Malaysia can be bought and sold,” he added.
Mui Fah expressed disappointment at the lack of change in judiciary despite the VK Lingam fiasco in 2007 which saw then Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz’s retirement after his tenure was not renewed due to objection from the Conference of Rulers.
“Despite a lot of reports on changes and transformation, unfortunately behind the scenes, not much has changed,” he said.
‘Something fishy going on’
Despite requests from the press to divulge more details regarding the matter, Mui Fah said he will only release further information once Chief Justice Ariffin Zakaria responds to the issue.
“I am not revealing details at this moment because of legal issues surrounding it, but I have provided enough information to the chief justice and the highest authority in the government to look into the complaint,” he said.
“However, regardless of whether the government responds, in the not too far future we will reveal what is contained in the video,” he added.
Asked who recorded the video, Gwo Burne said: “I helped set it up and left it in place to record the conversation”.
Gwo Burne explained the accountant was a liquidator for a company involved in the civil case.
He hoped Ariffin would respond soon with “something proper”.
“We have given him enough details to show that something fishy is going on,” he said.
“We expect stern action to be taken. If not, we will show more details about the names and cases.”
Gwo Burne, 38, shot to fame in 2007 when a video that he shot led to a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the manipulation of judicial appointments.
The video clip showed senior lawyer Lingam conversing over a phone allegedly with the then-chief justice, Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim, to allegedly fix the appointment of “friendly” senior judges.
The video earned Gwo Burne the parliamentary seat when he contested in the 2008 general election, defeating Barisan Nasional candidate Lee Hwa Beng and independent Billi Lim.
