Bar Council's bunkum!
The statement by Bar Council's chairman Christopher Leong that Datuk
Seri Najib Tun Razak must withdraw his defamation suit against
Malaysiakini, only reflects the Council's double standard and its
indisputable support for the opposition.
For all we know, the Council only supports the cause of the opposition.
They were not happy with the prime minister's suit but went all out to
ensure Lim Guan Eng wins his case against Utusan Malaysia; and other
suits filed by the opposition against the government and BN-link
entities.
What kind of lawyers are they?
What 'accountability' was Christopher (pic) ludicrously referring to
when he and his team are not even fit to be called 'lawyers' for
screwing their own charter, playing bad politics and going against their own propagation of 'fair legal rights' for everybody!
They are just a bunch of Pakatan Rakyat's political hoodlums. Together with the opposition, they couldn't care less about the rights of others but defend and protect the rights of criminals by bashing and denigrate the police and the government.Datuk Seri Najib Razak's defamation suit against a news portal sets a bad precedent as he is in effect suing the media for the views and comments of the public to whom he is accountable, the Bar Council said.Its chairman Christopher Leong (pic) said public officials were accountable to the people who have entrusted them with positions of public office and responsibility.
"The duties of good governance and accountability should demand the public official be able to endure the full brunt of free speech," he said in a statement today.
Leong said the prime minister and Umno president should not use civil defamation action against criticism, whether substantiated or otherwise.
"This sets a bad precedent and sends the wrong message," he said.
He said public officials, especially those holding high public offices, and political parties should not resort to defamation suits as an answer to criticism or comment.
“They should accept such adverse comments, no matter how vitriolic, obnoxious or untrue. So long as it does not affect the person in his or her private sphere,” he said.
They never expressed sympathy and offered words of condolence to families of policemen killed by criminals but they went all out to look after the welfare of the murderers, drug dwellers and criminals jailed and their families.
You call them lawyers? No, they are worse than animals for their inhumane hearts!
KUALA LUMPUR: The action of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak in filing a defamation suit against news portal Malaysiakini and its top two editors is a move towards ensuring the fundamental rights of the Umno president, said Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim.On May 30, Najib in his capacity as Umno president, and Umno executive secretary Datuk Ab Rauf Yusoh filed a defamation suit against the company operating the Malaysiakini portal and two of its editors over the publication of two articles last month.
Rais, who is adviser to the government on social and cultural affairs, said as a person with dignity, the prime minister would want to clear his name, having been embarassed and ridiculed.
The best venue for him to do so is in court, Rais said in a statement here yesterday.
Rais, in commenting on a statement by Malaysian Bar president Christopher Leong calling for Najib and Umno to withdraw the suit, said it clearly reflected the council's involvement in politics, without any care for a person's right to seek justice in court.
The writ of summons was filed through Messrs Hafarizam Wan & Aisha Mubarak at the High Court registry here. Najib and Ab Rauf (on behalf of Umno) named Mkini Dotcom Sdn Bhd, Malaysiakini.com editor-in-chief Steven Gan and chief editor Fathi Aris Omar as the first, second and third defendants, respectively.
In their statement of claim, Najib and Ab Rauf claimed that the three defendants had reported, produced and allowed to be published two articles entitled 'A case of the PM reaping what he sows' and 'How much will Najib spend to keep Terengganu?' It is claimed that the articles were published on May 14.
Christopher and his buddies deserve no right to talk about 'accountability' which they themselves don't have, and neither do they possess the right integrity to be called 'advocates and solicitors' for their bad decorum!
They should understand what 'accountability', 'precedent' and 'integrity' mean before telling others about it...

Jangan risau.....UMNO banyak PEGUAM kaki Putaq Alam.....semua ini akan selesai di luar Mahkamah.
Tekanan demi tekanan sedang dilakukan oleh Malaysiakini dengan menggunakan Majlis Peguam. Bahkan Zionis-Zionis yang menjadi taukeh pendana portal tersebut turut menggunakan badan-badan asing untuk menghalang Perdana Menteri daripada meneruskan saman fitnah terhadap Malaysiakini........amacam, Singapore Boleh....nape Najib tak boleh?
Presiden Badan Peguam Malaysia MERAYU dalam "JANTAN" Najib jangan saman M'kini.....kami duk cari makan kat sini...tolonglahhhhh......
Sebaik terbaca sebuah artikel terbitan portal Meloyakini
Malaysiakini mengenai komen Presiden Badan Peguam Malaysia berhuhung
tindakan drastik yang diambil Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak yang menyaman
portal itu, timbul perasaan kasihan yang membuak- buak dilubuk hati
admin terhadap Anwar Ibrahim.
Dengan kenyataan yang dikeluarkan, Christopher Leong seolah- olah menyatakan pandangan bias apabila
hanya memperkatakan tentang tindakan saman yang julung kalinya diambil
Perdana Menteri berbanding rentetan saman yang telah difailkan Anwar
Ibrahim terhadap beberapa individu dan firma.
Apakah Christopher Leong langsung tidak mengenali Anwar Ibrahim
sehinggakan rentetan tindakan saman melibatkan Ketua Pembangkang itu
tercicir untuk sama diperhalusi?

Sekiranya benar Christopher Leong gagal untuk mengenalpasti siapakah
sebenarnya Anwar Ibrahim, di sini admin turut sertakan sedikit lejer
berhubung saman menyaman melibatkan Anwar Ibrahim terhadap beberapa
individu mahupun syarikat yang admin peroleh melalui wikipedia.

| http://ms.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saman_menyaman_Anwar_Ibrahim |
Sekalipun kali terakhir ia dikemaskini adalah sekitar setahun yang
lepas, admin yakin sekiranya dikemaskini sehingga kini, berkemungkinan
jumlahnya akan bertambah apabila samannya terhadap Wan Azri juga
disenaraikan.
Lantaran itu, sekiranya apa yang dikongsikan admin ini dapat menyegarkan
semula ingatan Christopher Leong terhadap Anwar Ibrahim, admin dengan
rendah hatinya berharap beliau dapat mengeluarkan pandangan yang sama
terhadap Anwar Ibrahim.
Penulis blog Singapura dituntut mohon maaf
SINGAPURA: Perdana Menteri Singapura, Lee Hsien Loong menuntut
permohonan maaf daripada seorang penulis blog kerana menerbitkan rencana
mendakwa beliau terbabit dalam rasuah.
Peguam beliau, Davinder Singh dalam suratnya kepada Roy Ngerng Yi Ling kelmarin menuntut beliau memadamkan rencanaasal serta pautan yang diterbitkan dalam laman Facebook beliau dan menerbitkan permohonan maaf menjelang hari Rabu.
Singh berkata, tuduhan Ngerng dalam rencana 15 Mei adalah “salah dan tidak berasas”.
Rencana itu bermaksud dan difahami bahawa Perdana Menteri Singapura Lee Hsien Loong melakukan jenayah terhadap wang yang dibayar rakyat Singapura kepada Dana Simpanan Pekerja Pusat (CPF),” menurut surat tuntutan Singh.
Singh berkata, rencana itu adalah fitnah terhadap Lee, “merosakkan, menjejaskan watak, kredibiliti serta integriti”.
Pekerja perkhidmatan kesihatan Ngerny, 33 , sering menerbitkan komen terhadap Parti Tindakan Rakyat (PAP) dalam laman blognya, The Heart Truths.
Terbitan terbaru menggesa lebih banyak ketelusan bagaimana dana CPF dilaburkan kerajaan menerusi Perbadanan Pelaburan Kerajaan (GIC) dan firma pelaburan kerajaan Temasek Holdings.
“Rencana saya menuntut sifat tanggungjawab dan ketelusan tetapi beliau tidak mengiktiraf isu itu dan bertindak untuk menyaman saya.
“Saya kecewa dan kini masih berbincang dengan peguam untuk tindakan lanjut.” Singapura dalam banyak tinjauan meraih kedudukan negara paling kurang rasuah,” kata Ngerng kepada AFP.
Kumpulan hak asasi manusia antarabangsa sering menuduh pemimpinnya, termasuk bapa Lee dan bekas perdana menteri Lee Kuan Yew menggunakan saman fitnah yang membabitkan kos tinggi untuk membendung kritikan dan pembangkang.
Pemimpin Singapura memberikan maklum balas bahawa saman adalah perlu untuk melindungi reputasi mereka. dengan media arus perdana yang dianggap pro-kerajaan, blog menjadi ruang utama rakyat negara itu menyuarakan kemarahan mereka. - AFP
AMUKANMELAYU - Orang lain semua boleh saman orang yang buat FITNAH, tp Orang Melayu khususnya Pemimpin UMNO di larang keras menyaman pihak lain.... kecuali Pak Syeh.....
