Another dirty stupid stunt by Sarawak Report - that a warrant of arrest was issued against Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
It went viral again on the social media, and I think many Malaysians believe it as they are easily-led. However, SR falls into its own pit as it was 'caught' red-handed for not able to produce a good lie this time!
Even pro-opposition news portal The Malaysia Chronicle was sucked into it when they published the crap, not able to distinguish how a real charge sheet looks like, making them appeared more stupid than Sarawak Report.
The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) denied drafting or issuing an alleged charge sheet against Prime Minister as claimed by the Sarawak Report site.
"The draft of the charge that was published by Sarawak Report was not made or issued by the Attorney-General's Chambers," he said via his Twitter handle @TAMajid.
And later, the Attorney-General issued a statement:
1. These allegations by foreign national Clare Rewcastle Brown in political blog Sarawak Report are false.Sarawak Report had published a draft of the charge sheet purportedly done by former A-G Abdul Gani Patail against the Prime Minister and a former managing director, who was arrested by a government special task force and later freed on bail, and Nik Faisal Ariff Nik Othman Kamil.
2. The alleged charge sheets are not in and never reached the Attorney-General's Chambers. Furthermore, the format of the sheets is not correct or written by our Chambers.
3. The Special Task Force investigation has not been completed. So it is not legally possible for charge sheets to be drafted in advance.
4. These alleged charge papers therefore indicate that there is a conspiracy to topple a serving prime minister by criminalizing him, and that the methods include doctoring and criminal leakage.
5. This plot represents a threat to Malaysia's democracy and I will direct for all action possible to be taken to investigate. The full force of the law will be applied without exception to any that are found guilty.
Sarawak Report also said the charge sheet against Datuk Seri Najib had let to Gani's sacking on Monday, although his contract as A-G was until October.
The site said that Gani was abruptly removed when he was "on the brink" of filing corruption charges against the Prime Minister.
"The documents, which were being worked in their final draft stages by the Attorney-General, were sent to the Sarawak Report following the sacking of Gani and have now been verified by other senior parties,” it said.
Sarawak Report said the charge sheet against Mr Najib was under Section 17 (a) of the MACC Act and an alternate charge under Section 409 of the Penal Code. The first charge carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
Responding to the latest development, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said that Sarawak Report should not confuse the public and asked that the rumours be stopped. He also tweeted a screen capture of Majid's statement and said that it only confirmed what he had said earlier.
