Justice can be delayed, but it can never be denied. Those who do unto others always get their just deserts, although one never knows when or in what form. Remember Dr Ristina Majid, Ummi Hafilda Ali, Azizan Abu Bakar, Megat Junid Megat Ayub, A-G Mohtar Abdullah, Judge Augustine Paul, etc? Well, let’s add MACC officer M. Mohan and police officer ASP Sydney Clyde Jeremiah to this Rogues’ Gallery.

Lawyer charged with hiding information on his assets
Lawyer Rosli Dahlan was charged at a Sessions Court here with not disclosing all information on his assets in his sworn statement last month.
Rosli then sought permission from Judge S.M. Komathy Suppiah to address the court.
Rosli said the timing of ACA to charge him a day before Hari Raya was “calculated to humiliate him. I have suffered enough. If I go to the mosque tomorrow or if I dared to go, I will be a subject of scorn and ridicule,” he said.
He also told Komathy that he stood in dock very sad because of the manner he was “apprehended” by ACA officers.
Kumaraendran said ACA officers arrested his client at his office at 2.30pm on Thursday and that they handcuffed him tightly.
He said a senior ACA officer also threatened to punch Rosli. – 13 October 2007
Now see what happened to that MACC gangster:
MACC senior officer charged with graft
An assistant superintendent with the Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was charged in the Sessions Court here Friday with bribery involving RM250,000.
M. Mohan, 37, who is charged with two counts of bribery, pleaded not guilty and claimed trial to both charges before judge Azhanis Teh Azman Teh.
He is alleged to have solicited RM250,000 from one A. Sinnaiah as an inducement not to proceed with the investigation on the latter for allegedly bribing officials of the National Registration Department and the Immigration Department.
Mohan is also charged with agreeing to receive a bribe of RM200,000 from Sinnaiah for the same purpose.
The offences were allegedly committed at the Selangor MACC office, 14th Floor, Plaza Masalam, Jalan Tengku Ampuan Zabedah, E9/E, Section 9 here, between 11am and 1pm on Oct 22 last year. – 19 February 2010

The police officer who was trying to fix me up is now in trouble himself. ASP Sydney Clyde Jeremiah has subpoenaed my lawyer, J. Chandra, to act as the prosecution’s witness, which means Chandra can no longer appear in court during my trial. At the last hearing, the prosecution, in fact, objected to Chandra’s presence in court and asked that he be removed. Well, my hunter is now the hunted, courtesy of divine intervention. – Raja Petra Kamarudin, 5 February 2008
Police officer among five charged with bribery
A senior police officer was among five people who were separately charged at the Sessions Court yesterday with corruption.
In the first case, ASP Sydney Clyde Jeremiah was charged with soliciting RM2,000 from Mohd Khusaiful Che Rashid, 36, as an inducement to release Hoi Chee Kin, 27, who was arrested for offering sexual services.
Jeremiah, 47, was one of the senior investigating officers in the city’s serious crimes division.
He was alleged to have committed the offence at his office at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters at 3.30pm on Oct 26 last year.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) deputy public prosecutor Iznina Hanim Hashim proposed RM10,000 bail in one surety.
Jeremiah’s counsel Datuk Salehuddin Saidin pleaded for the amount to be reduced to RM5,000 and said that Jeremiah was the sole breadwinner in his family.
“He has two young children aged nine and 11 years old,” he said, adding that Jeremiah, who was still with the force, was a senior investigating officer and had no reason to abscond.
Now let us look at the earlier cases of divine retribution:
Ummi’s father disowns her and dies of a broken heart
Christopher Fernando told the Kuala Lumpur Appeal Court that Said Awang, the Director of the Special Branch, went to meet Azmin Ali, Ummi’s brother, who was then Anwar’s Chief Private Secretary, to solicit his (Azmin’s) assistance to persuade Ummi to retract the allegation that Anwar had sodomised Azizan.
Fernando related how Said went to meet Azmin to request a meeting with Anwar Ibrahim. In the meeting with Azmin, Said asked him whether Ummi is his sister and Azmin confirmed so.
Said Awang then asked Azmin whether he was able to persuade his sister to withdraw the sodomy allegation against Anwar but Azmin replied that would be impossible as he no longer talked to his sister since the allegation surfaced.
The Special Branch was aware that Ummi was behind the accusation and was, in fact, the plotter of the whole thing. And, the period when this discussion with Azmin was going on, the Special Branch had not met Anwar yet.
Azmin then called the family together to discuss the issue. In all, three meetings were held that included Ummi herself.
Ummi at first denied she had written the letter to the Prime Minister accusing Anwar of sodomy. Azmin then advised his sister to steer clear of the conspiracy, and that was when she admitted this would be impossible to do as she had been promised money and contracts for her role and, in fact, money had already changed hands.
Ummi later confessed to her father her involvement in the conspiracy and that it was actually she who had written the letter to the Prime Minister. The father, a religious teacher, then disowned her and, soon after, died of a broken heart, never forgiving his daughter for what she had done. - 1999

Azizan Abu Bakar caught khalwat
Azizan Abu Bakar, 39, who has accused Anwar of sodomising him, caught public attention again when he immediately married the partner he was caught with (khalwat), Norhayati Saad, three days later.
The Malacca Syariah Court refused bail for Azizan and Norhayati and decided to detain them until their trial on Sept 28.
This is the first time a person has been denied bail for such an offence after the Malacca Syariah Offences Enactment was introduced in 1991, Utusan reported. – September 1999

Anwar trial witness Dr Ristina dies of stroke
Dr Ristina Majid, a key witness in the trial of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, died of a stroke yesterday morning.
The former sister-in-law to the Chief Secretary to the Government Datuk Shamsuddin Othman was 51 years old and leaves behind two children.
A dentist by profession, she had invited Ummi Hafilda Ali to stay with her for two to three months before the Anwar case exploded.
Another key witness in the Anwar trial, Azizan Abu Bakar had also stayed with Dr Ristina a day before the police broke into the house and arrested him.
A tearful Ummi Hafilda when contacted said she had lost a good friend.
“Dr Ristina called me a couple of times recently and wanted so much to see me. On Wednesday, she asked me to come and have kari kepala ikan with her but unfortunately I could not,” she added. – 2 October 2002

Also the former Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister, Megat Junid had been seriously ill for months. He had undergone surgery for prostate cancer in 2004, but the cancer recurred in 2006 and spread to his liver, lung and bones. – 24 January 2008

Augustine Paul dead after a long illness
Federal Court judge Datuk Seri S. Augustine Paul, who shot to prominence for presiding over Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s 1998 corruption case, has died today of an undisclosed ailment. He was 64.
It is not known what caused his death but he had been bed-ridden for some time. It is understood the funeral will be held tomorrow.
Paul was first appointed as a judicial commissioner on Sep 1, 1996 before he was elevated to the High Court on May 15, 1998.
He presided over Anwar’s sodomy and corruption trials where his remark “irrelevant, irrelevant” was the most quotable quote from the proceedings.
He was made a Courts of Appeal judge on Aug 1, 2003, and later joined the Federal Court bench on June 17, 2005. – 2 January 2010
