Lies, all lies, cries embattled Rohaizat

With Pakatan Rakyat applying pressure on BN candidate Rohaizat Othman to withdraw from the Permatang Pasir by-election because his disbarment makes him “tainted”, he has been forced to go on the campaign trail to clear his name.

Last night, at a ceramah alongside other BN youth leaders, the disbarred lawyer begged the people there not to pay attention to the attacks on his professional past, dismissing them mere attempts to discredit him personally.

“This is the culture of Pakatan Rakyat (PR). They attack my private life, it’s character assassination,” said Rohaizat.

“I have already explained myself but the attacks on me continue. They are lies. Now they have come up with a new lie. Now, they say I have a second wife who is not receiving alimony from me,” said the Umno man.

Rohaizat said he was shocked when a reporter asked him about it.

“It has come down to this. More personal attacks against me. This is the culture of PR. First, they attack my past and after I have explained myself, they come up with another lie and even if I defend myself on the second accusation, they would come up with another lie,” lamented the Umno man.

But Rohaizat has yet to respond to the allegations made by his former legal firm partner, Yusri Ishak, who appeared yesterday to deny allegations made by Umno leaders that he had caused Rohaizat’s disbarment.

Rohaizat was disbarred last year after he was found guilty by the Bar Council’s disciplinary board of misconduct after failing to return money belonging to the Penang Rubber Smallholders Cooperative intended for land purchase.

Umno leaders, however, insist that their man is innocent, saying that Rohaizat was a “victim of circumstances” as Yusri was the one that ran away with the money.

The Bar Council has clarified that lawyers are not liable for their partner’s misconduct.

Are you going to say that the Bar Council is bias?
If it is (Of course not), what about the decisions by the High Court? Are you going to say that decisions are bias too?
If you have taken money from a firm for your personal use, will you guarantee that you will not use the state funds for your personal use in future? Are the citizens going to trust you all your promises?

commonlah bn. do you mean to say that i can steal your car and go for a stroll and return it to you the next day and i will not be charged as 'stealing your car ?' .

too many excuses by bn morons when oppositions cricticised them. these excuses are poorly made by brainless morons. give better and acceptable excuses next time .... you can fool the rakyat with 'dirty money' and 'sweet promises' but there will be a day when the rakyat says that what you give is not enough and will vote against you.

What is UMNO culture? Deny,deny,deny, when facts have proven them wrong.Worse the stupid DPM thinks the a SD will clear him.RPK the Malaysian creator of SD,was charged for sedition & defamation. What makes Rohaizat's is the truth? DPM is completely out of ideas to counter this fact that Rohaizat is disbarred.Better quit than to lose badly.Yusri will be watching & laughing at how the clowns manupilate the case.


The truth does not tell lies...Mr disbarred lawyer. You accepted to put yourself for public services...even with your tainted past, you no loner has the luxury of your private life....especially a criminal ex-lawyer!!
Don't blame others for your actions!
