I refer to the Malaysiakini report Lingam morally wrong, legally clean: Nazri and Lingam case: Opposition presents 'key witness' .

Having read what Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nazri Abdul Aziz has said to cover up the incompetent MACC on the VK Lingam tape fiasco, I asked myself why is there a need for such a serious cover-up for this person?

Well, this is no ordinary person whom you can push or slap around like what our police do to their suspects. You know that if Lingam is prosecuted, he will sing like a canary and this time it will not be just the ‘correct, correct, correct’ lyrics.

This time, if he sinks, he will make sure that those whom he had played ball with sink with him too and from the personalities involved, it would not be wrong if some ministers, high court and appellate court judges and corporate figures are implicated.

This, if allowed to happen, will be so explosive that it will bring down the Barisan Nasional government.

Do not be too hard on Nazri as he had no choice but to cover up the whole episode that the royal commission of inquiry took almost two months to complete. All the recommendations by the commission were just ignored.

Recently, former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad even engaged Lingam’s to represent him in a defamation suit against him filed by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. Senior counsel Karpal Singh’s case against Lingam too was dismissed all because Karpal’s application was not in the national language.

Reading the tea leaves, VK Lingam is still a force to be reckoned with.

Coming back to Nazri, the whole of Malaysia knows that he is the court jester in Umno. He looks so dignified with his Lincolns Inn blazer, telling the world that he is an honourable member of Lincolns Inn.

But now PKR has come out with LG Jeyanthi Naidu. To Jayanthi, the Malaysian public salute your courage. Many witnesses like Lingam’s brother Thirunama Karasu had to go into hiding and are too afraid to come out to give evidence after the royal commission.

We cannot blame them if there are no guarantees for their safety. We do hope you, however, will stay safe and I am sure PKR’s R Sivarasa will know what to do to ensure your safety.

As for the MACC, it is quite clear that you chaps are nothing but a tool used by your political masters Umno to do their bidding.
