YOURSAY | ' 27 million Malaysians are anxiously waiting for your expose'.

Ex-SB man tells Gani to come out of hiding, spill the beans

Res Ipsa: Former Special Branch (SB) deputy director Abdul Hamid Bador, perhaps it's time for you to start the ball rolling. Just expose what exactly former attorney-general (AG) Abdul Gani Patail divulged to you that was 'crystal clear'.

Was he referring to 1MDB monies that went in circles and a portion of which ended in Najib's personal accounts? Or maybe Gani was referring to the RM42 million transferred from SRC International into the premier's accounts? I am inclined to think that it was the latter since to date Najib has remained silent with no explanation offered.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has also stated that it is still investigating the case. The leaked charge sheet further supports this contention that there was clear-cut corruption in respect of the RM42 million transferred from SRC International.

Whatever the case, it's no point beating around the bush. Gani has previously prosecuted many cases that may have been done against his conscience to please his political masters. Now is the best opportunity for some redemption.

Speak the truth and shame the devil - 27 million Malaysians are anxiously waiting for his expose.

Worried Sick: Abdul Hamid should be a little kinder to the former AG.. He is, after all, going to retire on October 6. So why are you asking him to come clean now and give the government the excuse to charge him with something or other, and deprive him of all his dues?

Just wait a week or two after he has received his gratuity et al, and then maybe he will say what needs to be said. At least that is what I think.

Anonymous_1421806811: Yes, please Gani. When you were in office, it was your duty to bring culprits to court. Now we have an alleged kingpin and mastermind who stole millions/billions. It is your duty to speak up. Keeping quiet only allows the criminals to go unpunished and perhaps steal even more.

Abasir: It is not in the nature of our ethically-challenged public officials to be suddenly overcome by an overwhelming sense of righteousness.

Abdul Hamid, with his years in SB, should know that. So no 'think-of -the-nation' appeal will loosen the lips of a survivor like Gani, whose obviously induced silence could be the result of either a loose skeleton in his cupboard or a substantial payoff on his last day.

NNFC: If Gani was indeed a professional dedicated to his job and dedicated to maintaining the good name and integrity of the position, he should come out with the "beans". Otherwise, we will all be led to believe that he was just another Umno stooge.

6th Generation Immigrant: Gani has quite a few skeletons in his locker. He must first be granted a whistleblower's amnesty in order that he speaks openly. But which agency shall make this amnesty request?

As you can see, our pillars of the country's administration are all linked and tainted. That's why Gani cannot say anything.

Living in a tempurung: Gani you must be brave. Like what Mahathir said - at the end of your life, people will talk about what you leave behind and your reputation. Do the right thing. Say.it out loud. Leave something behind that your children and grandchildren will be proud of.

Boon Hor LOY: The ex-AG will not have the guts to do so. If he did, he would have kicked up a fuss when he was dismissed months back. Like one of the ministers said, which Umno man has no case?

Anonymous_1423808262: I think Gani for whatever reasons ,will never dare spill the beans. He must have known the murder cases of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu and Arab-Malaysian Banking Group (Ambank) founder Hussain Ahmad Najadi in detail.

In his position, better to be quiet and live a few peaceful years than to be unceremoniously silenced forever, and literally go out with a big bang.

Fateh: Dear Abdul Hamid, my full respect for your unceasing efforts to bring up the 1MDB issue. This horrific scandal has completely destroyed the credibility and confidence of this country, and individuals of low mental levels are attempting to stir up racial issues to divert attention from it.

Ex-wfw: If only we have more senior civil servants like Abdul Hamid. Congrats and much respect for your stand.

Vijay47: Abdul Hamid, while I agree that Gani has everything to gain should he decide to let the billion cats out of the 1MDB bag, I will not go so far as to say that he was "a tough fighter among the civil servants".

On the contrary, he was your typical Umno lackey and his "prosecute or not, appeal or not appeal" decisions in cases of great national impact reflect the kind of self-serving AG he was.

Yet, all is not lost, Gani has some options to gain some sympathy for his abrupt humiliating dismissal and to salvage at least a little of his dignity.

After all, this is the season for crooks and traitors to suddenly turn into perceived heroes. If you squeal, Gani, for sure Umno will have some of your skeletons they would want to dangle about and reveal or you might be charged under the OSA.

So what? A stint in the cooler would give you time to reflect on your record and service to the nation. In any case, I am sure familiar faces will soon be keeping you company.

Anonymous #03815719: Dear Gani, sir, You owe your allegiance to the Yang Di Pertuan Agung, and not to the political masters. If as per Abdul Hamid, you had seen something crystal clear in 1MDB, please come out clean and tell Malaysia.

You will be held in high esteem and your shortcomings will be forgiven. May god bless you and grant you wisdom.

Ipoh pp: Gani, this is one time you can make amends for any wrongdoing you may have committed and save this nation.

Come out and stand up for once and tell the truth. However also watch your rear as your movements may be watched. Do this for Malaysia and your children and grandchildren.

Roger 5201: Is Gani's legacy clear as crystal or mud? Why the long silence?
