Stolen jet engines, was the air force sergeant made a scapegoat?

-

We are wondering how can a non-commissioned officer (NCO) with only a rank of sergeant in the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) could be so "powerful" until he could authorise the shipment of the stolen jet engines out of this country to a south American state.

Yesterday, Mr N.Nagarajah, aged 71 who is the father of the currently detained air force sergeant N.Tharmendran had formally lodged a police report at Brickfields police stations mentioning that his son Sgt Tharmendran has been tortured by the air force intelligence personnel led by an officer named Major Ismail into confessing the theft of the jet engines.

So, the question here, is Sgt Tharmendran being made a scapegoat in order the cover up the real culprits sitting in the air force high command? Prior to this, there are several reports that indicated that an air force brigadier-general, with a few colonels and majors are being called in by the top brass for internal investigation.

And these group of senior air force officers were eventually let off and all of them were asked to retired and discharged gracefully. Why are these senior officers being let off just like that? These men are in positions of power which enable them to conduct any theft not only the jet engines but also the entire aircraft and its weaponary systems.

These senior officers were been let off just because they are brigadier-general, colonels and majors? And then they shifted all the blame onto Sgt Tharmendran who is only an enlisted man with no powers of moving such a huge military asset at all.

Who is Sgt Tharmendran? He is only an ordinary air force enlisted man who had achieved the rank of an air force sergeant throughout his years of service with the country's air wing.

With his low ranking position and minor role in the force, we doubt that he has that capability to steal and smuggle out all those jet engines to another country for sale. Something must have went wrong in the RMAF. Someone who is big and powerful enough is involved in this much complicated case.

We urge the police Special Branch and the MACC to step in and recall the discharged brigadier-general, colonels and majors for further investigation. The theft and sale of these jet engines may not be so properly and smoothly coordinated if not for those senior officers.

This is common sense. Everyone knows about this. Even the neighbourhood situated at the said nearby air force base knew about this.

The only thing is the RMAF high command and the air force intelligence are covering up something and the defence ministry is turning a blind eye onto this issue and trying their very best to deny the involvement of the air force senior officials to avoid the embarrassment that they may have to take if they do so.

A very sad episode to again see how our nation's once respected institution is now falling to its knees just like that.

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
