I have had an opportunity to read the affidavits filed by the respondents in my recent application for transfer back to Sg. Buluh prison. My application was refused and I have instructed my lawyers to appeal the refusal. As the matter is still subjudice I am advised that I cannot comment on the affidavit of ACP Ramasamy, which affidavit I am advised is relevant to my application.
With regard to the affidavit of SAC II Musa bin Hj Hassan affirmed on 2 September 1998 and, in particular with reference to paragraphs 9, 10, 11 & 12, I can categorically state as follows:
The nature, content and style of my interrogation has been clearly set out in my affidavit sworn on 24 August 1998. In my 36 days of incarceration I have been asked to give only one statement [concerning the 125 bullets] and that I did on 12 August 1998 under conditions and in the atmosphere set out in my affidavit.
I am a Director of four companies and the Group of companies owns various properties in and around Kuala Lumpur. This fact can be easily ascertained from the records of the companies. I have never used the apartments in Tivoli Villa and Impiana Court or the bungalow referred to in this paragraph as alleged. I have never taken Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim to the properties in question or accompanied him there. I have never been involved in any of the sexual improprieties alleged in the paragraph.
The driver referred to in paragraph 9.3 is unidentified. One of the drivers who was allotted to me by one of the companies was dismissed in 1996 after his work was found to be unsatisfactory and he had been repeatedly warned. He was offered the option of resigning or being sacked. He left bearing great animosity and hatred towards me. If this is the driver referred to, I am not surprised that he would have chosen to fabricate the allegations set out in the subparagraph.
The matter of RM 60 million referred to in paragraph 9.8 is utter rubbish. I have never given Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim any money, leave alone RM60 million. I have never had such funds at my disposal.
2. Item 12.2, 12.3 & 12.4 - the .38 revolver/ bullets and the 96
12 bore cartridges.
These were lawfully acquired under licenses.
3. Items 12.5 (a) (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) & (v) - the purported original
letters
I have no recollection of these letters and they have never been shown
to me during my entire period of remand of 39 days. My lawyers have checked
the search lists prepared by the police with regard to items that were
recovered from my house and these items are not listed or identified in
those search lists.
4. Item 12.6 - the money
This is mine.
In my affidavit I have also referred to statements that the police had prepared and had wanted me to sign but which were never shown to me. I can only wonder as to the contents of these statements.
Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been unjustly wronged. The loss, harm and suffering that has been perpetrated on a good and innocent man, his family and nation is great. The innuendoes created by Musa's affidavit must be causing immeasurable harm, and suffering to others. Only God, Justice and time will set all this right. I have faith in all three.
I can only sympathise with Dato Seri Anwar and his family and all Malaysians for this calamity that has come upon them and in which I had unwittingly become a bit player. My fault, if it can be described as one, is that I played tennis with a great man, a fact known to many and now exploited by a few.
I was and am prepared to swear an affidavit on the matters set out herein.
(Signed)
Dato Nallakarrupan a/l Solaimalai
