"Rahim: AG says I am free, it simply means I am free. It's doesn't matter how many people I have killed, and that Mamak AG is my friend. Hehehe."
Former Kuala Lumpur criminal investigation chief Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim previously alleged that the former Malacca chief minister had been indemnified from the charges by then prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Mohtar and current AG Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail in exchange for his resignation from all government and political posts.
I dont know. The power of the AG supersedes it, when asked if the allegations were true after speaking at a Kelab Umno event last night.
Mat Zain had made the claim in an open letter to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar on Monday stating that he did not expect the former Umno Youth chief to be prosecuted for his role in video purportedly showing Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim having sex with a foreign prostitute, due to the ultimate involvement of Abdul Gani.
Abdul Rahim had claimed responsibility along with businessman Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and Perkasa treasurer-general Datuk Shuib Lazim for the 21-minute video, stating that he wanted to show the country that a person with high ambitions of wanting to be national leader and prime minister of Malaysia was not qualified.
Abdul Gani had also declined to comment on the claims when contacted by The Malaysian Insider on Tuesday.
While confident the police would investigate the case professionally and impartially, Mat Zain said he had scant faith in the AGs ability to discharge his duties without favour, citing! Abdul G anis alleged protection of Rahim from prosecution on graft charges in 1999.
This investigation will later be handled by Abdul Gani as the Attorney-General. It is at this stage where it is expected that manipulation, fraud and forgery will occur, he said.
During his speech last night, Abdul Rahim also appeared to insist that Anwar was the man in the video despite the PKR de facto leaders denial.
There is proof but politicians nowadays are big liars. He says it looks like me, but its not me, he said without naming Anwar specifically. - Malaysian Insider
