Retired Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Ramli Yusuff, at his birthday speech on Wednesday, revealed more on his Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)
experience with details on how it used a convicted criminal to frame and
press charges against him.
Ramli said that the MACC had used this
shady character's statement while he was still in custody under the
Emergency Ordinance, as the foundation to build up the charges against
him, particularly those he had faced in Kuala Lumpur.
He elaborated, saying, "Imagine
this, the MACC relied on the words of a shady character who was under
custody and detained under the Emergency Ordinance and then converted to
restricted residence, and later released after they secured his
cooperation to frame me by making allegations that in 1999 I was paid
corruption money through an officer. These allegations were supposed to have come from a source involved in a
slew of organised crimes, including illegal money lending (loan
sharks), illegal character lottery, prostitution and drug pushing in
Johor. The notes of evidence in court (proceeding) show so clearly that all these allegations were mere fabrications."

When criminal's word is gold
Ramli (right) said the MACC did not even dare produce the man in court to prove that statement yet he was charged just based on the words of this known criminal became the MACC's basis for saying that there were grounds to justify a notice to declare his assets.
He added, "Nothing could be more perverse than what was done to me."
On Thursday, Malaysiakini reported that Ramli had accused attorney-general (AG) Abdul Gani Patail and former inspector-general of police Musa Hassan and the MACC of "fixing" him and his men.
