Now Hisham says Lingam still under probe

There was confusion in Parliament today when Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein (picture) said that the V.K. Lingam case was still under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

“The investigation in relation to V. K. Lingam’s video case is still under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the police are no longer handling the case,” he said in a written reply to Wangsa Maju MP Wee Choo Keong.

Minister in the Prime Minister Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz had in a written reply last week to Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said that no action would be taken against Lingam.

He said Attorney General Tan Sri Gani Patail had found “no case” against the senior lawyer.

Nazri explained today that he never said that the case was closed and blamed the media for misinterpreting his words.

“That is your reading. I never said it. That is why I was wondering if the case was closed. You all concluded that it is closed,” he told reporters in Parliament.

He said that there was “no further action” but it was not closed and added that the case can be reopened if there are new witnesses.

PKR vice-president Sivarasa Rasiah had this week promised to present the missing key witness in Datuk V.K. Lingam’s infamous New Zealand trip with the former Chief Justice Tun Eusoff Chin in Parliament soon.

The MACC had said that it was unable to proceed with the investigation into the New Zealand trip because it could not locate a key witness.

Nazri said today that he was still waiting for Sivarasa to bring the witness

Witness will go missing. What happen to PI Bala, teresa kok issue witness.

Of course there will be no charge against this chap. The Police have stop the investigation and eventually MACC will do the same. Don't forget those in the judiciary are more or less appointed by him. They are obligated to him. Malaysia boleh.

Hello Ministers, pse dont play with words, we rakyat can read and write and also think. Dont think we are fools. Its always the same excuse, papers misquoted you, why dont you sue the papers or at least ask for correction the next day????.

First you say no action will be taken Against VKL, then when Sivarasa says he has got witness then you say VK is still under investigation. Look here its not a joke, be serious in stamping out corruption, cause people willing to stick their neck out and testify to the truth, while you guys push it under the carpet and say NFA.

The Rakyat will not trust you again, never, never again full stop
