Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail’s assurances that action will be taken on any report or resolution by the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah is meaningless when he had failed to act against Perkasa for calling for Bible burning and establish the Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission or IPCMC recommended by RCI on Police. Abdul Gani has shown a troubling propensity of cowardly inaction on cases which involved BN leaders, their cronies or closet supporters.
Nothing exemplifies such prosecutorial cowardice and double-standards as his refusal to act against Perkasa for calling the Bible to be burnt with the ridiculous excuse that the Bible has not been burnt and he will only act when the Bible is actually burnt! However at the same time, he shows extreme prejudice and bravery when taking action against PR leaders such as DAP National Chair and MP for Bukit Glugor Karpal Singh for sedition.
Abdul Gani’s promises that he will act if there are criminal offences sound even more empty following the denial syndrome of the BN government as shown in the recent horrific death of security guard C Sugumaran last week whilst being handcuffed by the police. Sugumaran’s death followed a string of custodial death victims such as Chang Ching Te in Subang this year and the previous years of K. Kugan as well as 16-year old boy Aminulrasyid Amzah, who was shot dead by police.
The public has no confidence in Abdul Gani’s pleas to all parties to have confidence in the RCI when the public has no confidence in his professional impartiality. Instead he is politically partisan to the point of blindly parroting the BN’s line that the RCI is transparent and that it is a promise fulfilled.(janji ditepati)
The time has come for Malaysians to remove political Attorney-General who serve no function except to serve their political masters. Malaysians deserve a legal Attorney-General who is fulfills his or her statutory obligation to uphold the law without fear or favour in a professional and impartial manner. There can be no justice for all when cronies, supporters of BN leaders enjoy legal immunity for breaking the law whilst law-abiding citizens are punished by the Attorney-General merely because they dare to dissent and oppose BN.
