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？ ...

办论坛纪念明福逝世8年 基金会疾呼“改革反贪会”

发表于 2017年7月4日 上午10点35分 8年前的7月16日，雪州行政议员欧阳捍华的助理赵明福，被发现卧尸在沙亚南反贪会大厦。8年后，赵明福案凶手仍未被绳之以法。赵明福民主基金会狠批反贪会自成立以来表现令人失望，更在一马案调查上实行双重标准，遂将举办“改革反贪会”论坛，以纪念赵明福逝世8周年。 “8年了，大马政府还未将赵明福案凶手绳之以法，涉及此案的反贪会官员反而获得升迁。” “一马公司丑闻不止证明盗贼统治盗取公款，更指出反贪会的双重标准和选择性提控。” “不像赵明福，‘一号官’从未被拘留，也没有被漏夜盘问，即便涉及亏空公款高达26亿令吉。而针对赵明福雇主的虚假指控，仅是区区2400令吉，却造成一名年轻社运分子丧命。” 疾呼改革反贪会 这场活动将在7月16日（星期日）晚上8点，在隆雪华堂第二会议室举行，除了有赵明福民主基金会主席沙末赛益和赵明福胞妹赵丽兰致词以外，还有一场公开“改革反贪会”论坛。 论坛发言人为净选盟主席玛丽亚陈、律师公会主席佐治瓦基斯（George Varughese）、诚信党淡江州议员沙阿里顺吉（Saari Sungib）、人权律师饶兆颖和一名反贪会代表。活动简介也指出，第14届大选迫在眉睫，这场论坛旨在评估反贪会的改革行动，以加强其肃贪功能，并维护扣留者的人权。 赵明福民主基金会的创立，是为了纪念遭遇政治迫害而殁于2009年7月16日的赵明福。该会宗旨是致力于创造一个没有政治迫害、折磨与扣留所死亡的民主国家。全民挺明福运动自2010年创立以后，致力于推动还明福公道的运动。 2014年该运动正式转型为赵明福民主基金会，让社会运动建制化，以进行长期的维权抗争。
