Sultan Ibrahim has declared that he is going to "hunt all the corrupt people"- The corruption of the Industrial Court system in a matter involving Johoreans Rejal Arbee and Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, and Singapore billionaire Peter Lim who has investments in Johor, will be a easy place to start

Malaysia's incoming King Sultan Ibrahim has declared :

'I'm going to hunt all the corrupt people' 

This  Industrial Court matter which involves his critic and Johor subject  Rejal Arbee, his former employer  and  Johor subject Vincent Tan, and the Singapore billionaire Peter Lim (who has business in Johor) would be a good place to start. Even the judge in the matter was a Johorean, the former judge Suafee Affandi.

As recently reported on a related blog,   Tong Kooi Ong's pursuit of Murad Khalid raises questions about Murad's business with Singapore billionaire Peter Lim, and raises even more questions for PM & FM Anwar Ibrahim when considering any application from Berjaya and Vincent Tan for a banking, finance or insurance business license or approval.

Additionally, Tong's spotlight (even if it be inadvertent) on Lim's businesses in Malaysia draws attention to Tokoh Wartawan Negara Rejal Arbee's perjury before the Industrial Court, Malaysia , in the matter of Sahathevan v Sun Media, when  he told court that an article in The Sun about Lim's businesses in Malaysia was wholly without basis. Arbee was at the relevant time Managing Editor of Sun Media Group, publisher of The Sun.

Rejal testified under oath with reference to the article that he  published, and not the article submitted which he and his subordinates edited to remove reference to the primary source of the story, Tan Sri Mokzhani Mahathir. 

Tong has resurrected these issues at a time when judicial matters are again prominent.

In 1998  Sessions Crt judge  Saufee Affandi was specifically assigned to a contempt matter involving Vincent Tan's Sun Media, and managed to place blame on the Sun reporter while excusing Sun Media and its editor Rejal Arbee; Saufee's conduct in '98 adds context to his legal innovation in favour of Sun Media, Singapore billionaire Peter Lim, Vincent Tan ,their business partners , and others in the matter of Ganesh Sahathevan v Sun Media

As reported earlier on this blog, former Industrial Court Chairman Saufee Affandi managed to turn an Industrial Court claim by this writer against Vincent Tan's Sun Media into a defamation matter where he undertook to prosecute the case for Singapore billionaire Peter Lim and his business partners, despite not having any authority to do so, and despite Lim himself never commencing a claim against Sun Media or this writer. 

It has also been reported here how Saufee mismanaged  and in essence attempted to discredit evidence against Bursa companies Gamuda Bhd, Litrak Bhd and the EPF which had financed their privatised LITRAK toll road project, which had been discovered by this writer.

It can now be revealed that Saufee had a prior, and perhaps more questionable involvement with Sun Media in 1998 when he served as a Sessions Court judge. The matter was reported by The SUN (which is published by Sun Media): 

A Sun reporter was fined RM 2,500 today when he admitted defying a court order which prohibited the publication of certain information in the case of a sessions judge who allegedly performed oral sex on a man. Sessions judge Saufee Affendi, who had come from Kuala Lumpur to specially hear the case. 

A conviction under this sub-section carries a maximum fine of RM 5,000 or jail up to three years or both. Arulldas, who paid the fine, was accompanied by Sun Media Group editor-in-chief Ahmad Rejal Arbee and editor Andy Ng.

Why Vincent Tan's Sun Media and its editors Ahmad Rejal Arbee and Andy Ng who actually published the story were not also charged is mystifying. 

Even more mystifying is the fact that Saufee  accepted that the crime of contempt had been proven beyond a reasonable doubt  against a  reporter who had absolutely no power to publish. The contempt, described above involved the publication of facts which were subject to a court order against publication.
