Read More大查国旗案却放过一号官 赵明福基金赴反贪会抗议
发表于 2017年7月7日 中午12点17分 赵明福逝世即将满8年,赵明福民主基金会今日前往反贪会总部,抗议反贪会双重标准,大阵仗调查2400令吉国旗案,致死赵明福,却任由“一号大马官员”逍遥法外。 他们也要向反贪会主席祖基菲里递交邀请函,以邀请对方出席7月16日举行的“改革反贪委员会:迈向良好治理与维护人权”论坛,亲自向公众解释为何反贪会办案采取双重标准。 一行约30人今早抵达后,无法获准进入反贪会总部。于是,他们在总部大门外拿起大字报,高呼双重标准。 批评反贪会刁难呈信 虽然反贪会最终允许赵明福基金会派出5人入内,但他们走到反贪会大楼门前时,却被告知要留下手机等个人物件方能入内。 他们坚持携带手机入内,否则宁可不入内,而要求反贪会官员出来大门处接领邀请函。 不过,反贪会官员坚持,他们必须留下手机等物件,再进入反贪会大楼交信。 在多番争取不果下,赵明福民主基金会最终把邀请函,贴在反贪会大楼外的墙壁上。 赵明福基金会协调员黄业华批评,反贪会比墙壁还糟,至少墙壁“愿意”接收邀请函。 赵明福民主基金会主席沙末赛益则揶揄,墙壁还比反贪会“理解”他们,因此他们把信交给墙壁。 保安指标准作业程序 现场一名不愿具名的反贪会大楼保安人员较后告诉媒体,留下手机等个人物件方能进入大楼,是反贪会的标准作业程序。 他也说,反贪会官员要求赵明福民主基金会等人进入大楼呈信,而非出来大楼接领信,也是为了避免任何争议。 黄业华反击说,他们不是恐怖分子,禁止人民带手机进入大楼是不合理的要求。 “我们来这里是要呈信邀请祖基菲里出席论坛,但今天却碰到闭门羹,想呈信却被禁止进入,他当我们是恐怖分子吗?” “从来没有一个国家的安检措施连手机都要禁止进入,这是不合理,所以我们没办法,傲慢的官员拒绝出来,我们只好把邀请函贴在墙上,请来拿信,这是人民的信箱。” “我们邀请祖基菲里来我们的论坛,人民举办的活动绝对不会像反贪会如此傲慢。 批反贪会选择性迫害 黄业华表示,反贪会在查赵明福案和一号官上,持双重标准及选择性迫害。 “他们(反贪会官员)把赵明福逮捕长达12小时,但到了一号官,却只是审问他约两个小时,然后一号官仍安然无恙,这是选择性迫害,有权力和无权力者受到不同的对待。” “今天我们要求反贪会给赵明福和(在吉隆坡反贪会总部坠楼身亡的)雪州关税局助理总监阿末沙巴尼(Ahmad Sarbani)一个公道。” “我们要求反贪会采取严厉审问赵明福的方式来调查一号官。我们也要求改革反贪会,以维护所有被扣者的人权及确保良好治理。” 要求反贪会答三问题 赵明福民主基金会秘书法依沙(Faisal Mustaffa)表示,届时祖基菲里若出席论坛,该基金会将要求他回答三道问题,即: (一)为何反贪会选择性调查赵明福案和一号官案,为何反贪会盼望赵明福直到致死他,但却没对一号官使用同样的盘问手法? (二)反贪会新领导层会对涉嫌致死赵明福及阿末沙巴尼的反贪会官员,采取什么行动?若法庭已在民事案宣判反贪会官员疏忽,为何涉案者没受到对付,涉及赵明福案的反贪会官员还升职? (三)祖基菲里所领导的新团队会为反贪会进行什么改革? ...
