BERSIH3.0: Anwar and Azmin to be charged
PKR’s top two leaders – Anwar Ibrahim and Azmin Ali – are expected to be
charged tomorrow in relation to the BERSIH 3.0 rally.
According to a notice that was served to Azmin, he is accused of violating Section 188 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 109 and Section 34 of the same law.
Section 188 refers to “disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant”, while Section 109 and Section 34 refer to abetment.
The notice to Azmin said he and five others who are still at large, had conspired with R Tangam, G Rajesh Kumar and Farhan Ibrahim @ Alias to breach a court order issued by Magistrate Zaki Asyraf Zubir on April 26.
Azmin is accused of abetting and inciting Tangam, Rajesh Kumar and Farhan to breach the barricade surrounding Dataran Merdeka.
The notice also stated that the breach could have caused a riot or clashes in the area.A separate notice stated that Azmin had participated in a street protest with the intention of protesting against Zaki Asyraf’s court order.
The notice said that this constitutes an offence under Section 4(2)(c) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, and is liable to a maximum fine of RM10,000 described in Section 4(3) of same law.
Hand gestures
It is understood that Anwar is facing similar charges. This will make the duo the first persons to be charged under the newly-passed Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.
Another person who have received a similar notice is prominent Negri Sembilan PKR activist Badrul Hisham Shaharin. At the time of writing, the details of the notice have yet to be confirmed.
The charge is believed to be in relation to the infamous hand signal exchange between Anwar and Azmin seconds before the first breach of the barricades.
Badrul Hisham was behind Anwar at the time.
Various videos circulating on the Internet depicted Azmin gesturing and pointing over his back while Anwar was depicted gesturing to the former with both hands in a rolling motion.
Seconds later, while Azmin was trying to get down from an elevated platform after the exchange, a man standing behind him appeared to have lifted a metal barricade.
The man behind Azmin was later identified as Tangam, who has been charged on May 3 under Section 143 of the Penal Code for participating in an unlawful assembly, which was read together with an alternative charge of breaching a court order under Section 188 of the Penal Code.
Tangam was the first to be charged over the rally. Two others who have been charged for similar offences are lawyer Rajesh Kumar Gejinder Nath and Farhan, who is also a PKR Youth exco member.
Anwar and Azmin have denied claims that the exchange of hand gestures had anything to do with the breach.
Anwar claimed that his hand signals were instructions for Azmin to negotiate with the Police, while the later claimed he gestured back to inform him that the negotiations were completed.
Attorney-General’s Chambers prosecution head Tun Abdul Majid Tun Hamzah confirmed that only Anwar, Azmin and Badrul Hisham (Chegubard) will be charged tomorrow (May 22, 2012).

Anwar Ibrahim is a born anarchist and for the sake of his political ambition, he is prepared to see people die at demonstrations. His followers will do his bidding and those who do not are quickly removed. That is PKR culture: those who are not get on the wrong side of the law do not qualify as members.
The video is incriminating. I have changed my mind about this Ketua Umum PKR and would like to see him locked up for good this time.
At the same time all those who are trying to set up stalls in front of Ambiga’s house should also be punished to the full extent of the Law. It is invasion of privacy. The ringleader of this Persatuan Peniaga-Peniaga Kecil is filthy rich and drives a Ferrari.
The Mayor should be sacked. The DIGP should be asked to retire from service for being an idiot. CID Agent provocateurs must be charged for their role in inciting violence, not to mention the Men in Blue who beat up citizens. Let us put an end to this culture of impunity. Cry Geranimo.
So much for the Peaceful Assembly Act. When you say people can assemble and then you put 10,000 conditions on it, that “law – an ass if ever there was any” – was always asking to be broken.
But, the police only said you cannot assemble in Dataran. Anwar and Azmin were not at Dataran proper; they were well outside it. So, what case do the police have? Hand signals? On your unelected mayor of KL’s ass! You think with all those cameras and microphones focusses on A& A, they would let themselves be caught on camera committing a stupid act?
This is sandiwara and demonisation all over agin. Watch Anwar & Azmin batter an already discredited police, judiciary and unelected PM Najib’s “Govt.” Najib & Kerismudin are gambling wrong big time, again, and will soon be history (as in not even a footnote)!
Would any right-thinking Malaysian vote for a PM who for 5 years has not ordered the IGP to charge the person who gave the orders to kill Altantuya, thus protecting and covering up for murderers?
With a bunch of dodos at the helm of UMNO.you cannot blame the public for going to the street to demand for free and fair elections. UMNO/BN is mired deep in its corrupt ways, that it in fact exploits the legitimate frustrations of the public to serve its self serving interests ,which is to maintain its stranglehold on power. So create more diversions, charge Anwar, Burgers , butts and farts at Ambigas house, stone throwing and vandalism at Merlimau,funeral services at Penang CM’s house, whilst the LEMBEK of MODERATION spends time in USA, squeezing in his sons graduation,with a cooked up working visit , so as to justify blowing tax money !!
over 200,000 people taking to the streets are ignored by the regime who is not bothered about their grouses. only worried about individuals breaking bad laws. after worrying about Anwars supposedly wayward penis and Saifools arsehole for the last ten years now they are worried about the hands of A & A.
disgraceful!
this regime should be flushed down the toilet bowl as soon as possible.
When they went to the trouble of issuing a Court Order, it was obvious what they had in mind. They were preparing the groundwork for what was to come. They ran themselves to a corner. And now the follow through. These are distractions. The struggle for freedom continues as it always does. Why have they not charged Ambiga?
We need a miracle.

I could swear you’re talking about UMNO under Najib Razak. You got the labels right but the party wrong.

Bean, that is not way UMNO sees itself. It thinks that it represents stability. They will deliver that public good but they want to be paid for it via corruption. We want something else; we want good governance which is the insurance against social unrest. Right now, many in power want the status quo. Mahathir, for example, since he has plenty to lose if Pakatan takes Putrajaya. The fight for change is going to be tough.–Din Merican
ps Geranimo represents an increasing number of intelligent and discerning voters who have grown impatient with the antics and promises of Anwar Ibrahim. So he will Cry Geranimo.
God’s mercy Dato’? Yes we have to work hard to change it. YOu are right.
(*still praying for a miracle*)
I can’t believe this – the extent to which the powers that be will go to remain in power . The lies they spin, the abuse of their religion for political ends , the money they steal – and still there are fools who not only believe them but will also assist them.
Disgusting !
” So he will cry Geranimo “. – Din
If he does not cry Geranimo then he will cry Cool Batoks .
The peaceful Assembly Act of 2012 is a very simple Act to understand and to follow. It only has 28 sections. All of us must read, understand and follow if we want to take part in any assembly, demonstration or rally. Don’t blame the authorities and the government. Ignorant is no excuse. Just click, sear have and read. Don’t simply follow the crowd. It is not a picnic when you follow Bersih.

Adam, i was told that only suckers are born by the minute . I did not know it was the same with morons !

And the laundry list goes on.
Anwar Ibrahim is an anarchist? He wants to be PM? I thought Bersih is a movement for social justice.
Anwar as with all the other political opposition leaders have a right to be there as it concerns all freedom loving citizens. Needless to say this is a case of selective prosecution to remove two main actors in the hope that by cutting the head of the snake, the snake would die. Good luck to that.

yes Dato’ because we are dealing with abnormal immortals. they believe in their own lies! as already said they’ll use everything to remain in power.
The crackdown has begun. After showing their cracks (butts) Ah Jib Gor has given the word. No more butts, time to take action, use a shotgun approach, inflict as much collateral damage as possible, keep the opposition busy and occupied with court cases. Throw the book at them, including the kitchen sink. BN must win at all cost. Democracy? Ah Jib Gor way, transformation of Malaysia from a socalled democracy to Transformation democracy.
Remarkable! These semaphore reading goons have really done themselves in.
To persecute the Leader of the Opposition in desperate times like these, shows that their political savvy has deteriorated to the level of infantile tantrums. All they’ll manage to convince is the already rabid Umno zombies. This will disgust even middle of the road, clueless decerebrates that make up a majority of Humping-Dumpsters. Geranimo (whatever) is a case to point, ‘cuz Cry-no-more the troopers are chasing his sorry butt all over south-west Texas.
My feeling is that this AAA (yeah, battery) sized case will only see the light of day, should UMNO win 2/3rds majority. Which is truly a puerile fantasy of those with a peanut for a brain.
I was just having a conversation with a typical idiot ‘Federal Scholar’ who for the past 6 years have been trying pursue his masters in something quite useless – and he’s so blinkered that he thinks that 2/3rds is a sure thing in favor of UMNO. I’m sure the only blogs he reads are UMNO hen-houses filled with Fungi and decomposing dead-wood. besides the usual porn..
Prosecuting AAA (Ambiga-Anwar-Azmin), will do dip-shit for their Almighty Hubris, but will cause them unparalleled woe!
The fact that Abdul Gani Patail continues to lord it over the Attorney-General’s Chambers has turned an absurd situation into an obscene charade. Never has Umno so blatantly abused its incumbency to impose misrule by law on all Malaysians. To call it this a rogue regime is being too euphemistic. Live spelt backwards is Evil – but Umno is not only Evil but indescribably Vile. Those who continue to support this Evil Regime are nothing short of DESPICABLE.
Well, nobody’s abve the law…memang patut pun Anwar dan Azmin dibicarakan… jangan ingat nak jolok ‘tangan’ pulak??!!…Tak lama lagi tunggulah pulak Saiful dalam Court…hampa dok ingat2 sikit!!
Anwar, anwar & anwar somemore – i can’t help it, is it me or is it still him… Have anyone noticed that everything coming from bn-gomen is about anwar, i mean for the past decade… Don’t believe me? Look at paklah, i mean the way he spoke before he became PM and when was the PM – focus on the ‘meneran’ part…. Now, focus your attention to the current PM when he piiiidato to the crowd… The. ‘meneran’ comes alive, as if a certain ‘Singh’ were on hand to assist…. Is it me or is it anwar…. So if we remove anwar from the equation, everything would be okay…. Is that what goes thru bn-gomen minds for the best part of the decade… Or is it just me again, Nah, cant be me – it got to be him again.
Dato, guy & gal – kinda of new here,,,,, assistance may be required to find the exit, (poor vision)
Dato, i am doing a sidestep – way out of topic, i mean we got to focus, we need to remain focus coz the bn-gomen wants us to focus on “him” always but i cant help (i am too lazy to start my own blog and am now trying to dictating the owner… ) any thread, tagline with regards to felda- i am interested to know anaysis, comment & thoughts from everyone here…. Again different thread, not this one – we need to refocus, everything is about “him”, …
Again, my vision is failling me.. The exit is at…
My family and I are more convinced that the present bunch of people running the government has to be flushed down the toilets… Do they know the power of modern communications? For example today, I received in my email three different articles – Vancouver Sun article on Najib, the story of the Ferrari-driving trader and his friendship with Noh Omar, and the suspected whistleblowers at NPC being harrassed and victimised! Najib and Hisham are both really stupid or is Hisham pushing the buttons to remove his cousin?
Greenbug,
Please share your articles here. E-mail to Dato so he could put that in the head notes for a new thread. This is not going to go away.
Dato took down one thread. Wonder why.
That Deputy IGP must be exposed for what he is. He is unfit to hold the office of Deputy IGP. A ignorant bungling idiot. Referring to the issue of invasion of privacy, his best shot was to say “What invasion of privacy?” No one entered her space. A probation inspector with an SPM studying for his first year law would know that invasion of privacy does not mean you must physically enter any private space. It involves the interference of the right to be left alone. It is intrusion upon seclusion. Anyone who intentionally intrudes, physically or otherwise (underline physically or otherwise) upon the solitude or seclusion of another, or his or her, private affairs or concerns, is subject to liability to the other for invasion of his or privacy, if the intrusion would be highly offensive to a reasonable person.” It includes continued surveillance and harassment of plaintiff even in public places.
If he sets foot on her property that would be trespass. If he so much as touches her without permission that would be battery. He asks her to “‘jaga her punggong sebelum orang lain bantai” Acting to cause her concern for her safety, that is assault. There is malicious defamation. All those within a short space of a few minutes. Take your pick.

“Who God wish to destroy He first makes mad” How true is this looking at this utter chaos and mayhem. Dato’ is right we have no ability to think. to discern. it is just madness. I cant believe this is thesame country I was born in. The public servants have gone stupid. Then theres the ulamas who have gone stupid as well. ( over power)
