KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 25 — Three out of four persons being investigated in relation to the infamous V. K. Lingam video clip case, have been cleared of graft charges, the prime minister told Parliament today.
Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi told Wee Choo Keong (PKR-Wangsa Maju) in a written reply that the three cases had been marked “NFA” — which means no further action will be taken.
The file on one of the four persons originally investigated remain open. The PM did not name any of the four persons.
Abdullah said there was insufficient evidence to charge the three persons under the Anti-Corruption Act 1997.
The Lingam video clip was widely circulated on the Internet in 2007.
In the grainy clip, Lingam is recorded having a telephone conversation apparently with a minister and appears to be brokering judicial appointments.
The video clip which was recorded by Loh Gwo Burne, who is now the PKR MP for Kelana Jaya, sparked a major public outcry.
A Royal Commission was set up to investigate the videp clip but the findings were inconclusive regarding Lingam’s role in any alleged brokering of judicial appointment.
During the hearing, Lingam famously said “it looks like me, it sounds like me,” when questioned if he was indeed the man in the clip.
The V. K. Lingam video clip scandal was a significant contributing factor towards the Barisan Nasional (BN) government’s poor performance in last year’s general elections.
Four investigation files were opened by anti-corruption officers, the prime minister said in Parliament today.
Three of the cases were “deferred” to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, while one was marked “NFA” by the director of the legal and prosecution department in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
Of the three cases “deferred” to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, two were marked “NFA” while the remaining case remains open.
Wee told reporters later that the director of the legal and prosecution department did not have the power to decide on a case but to only investigate.
“This is unheard of and first time as a lawyer. Why are they taking so long? The last time they said that the paper has already been sent but now they say it is for further investigation,” he said.

Nobody should be surprised at this NFA bullshit at all; this is what abuse of power is all about. To say the least, Malaysians lacked professionalism and no ethics. The police, the judiciary, and the AG's Department are all in the shit together, you scratch by back and I will scratch your'e. NFA does not mean there is no evidence. NFA simply means, the AG's Department choose not to investigate. That is not saying that they have investigated and found no evidence incriminating the suspects ! It just means that they choose not to go on with the investigation. If Malaysians want rule of law and a clean government, we must all put in an extra effort and push for the election of a Pakatan government.
CORRUPTION IS EVERY WHERE IN THIS BARISAN NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND THERE IS NO ONE WHO DARES TO OPPOSE THEM.

They can stretch time till the never, never or compress it as if two months will occur tomorrow!
As for evidence, what is the standard. That also can be moved up or down. So, don't worry.
And they can even make decisions such as to charge or not - that decision is less important than the position that they are holding. And when they hold such positions, they breathe rarefied air since the corridors of powers are injected with such air.
Why, you can look at one of the latest goverment statements. "We are ready to tackle the world economic problem." Just look at it. It is as if their power is like King Canute stopping the waves: they can decide when the world economic recession is going to hit us. So, don't worry.
By the time the charges are laid, the accused will be treated for something like chemotheraphy, dialysis and all that. So, don't worry.
And even Parliament is not told the identity of the remaining file that is still open.
So, don't lose any sleep over such things. It is always, "correct, correct, correct." And the average Malaysian is stupid., so they think!

Dear friends and countrymen, if this is the way the BN government handles such a scandal, let's send BN to hell in the upcoming by-elections, and bury them forever in GE13!
Speechless, indeed!

God have mercy on our land as we have failed to uphold the things that are honourable in Your sight. We have committed the most despicable things; prosecuting the weak and helpless and failed to right the wrongs of our leaders. Listen to our cry O God that this nation will once again bring honour to Your Name.

Khir = NFA
Lingam = NFA
Perak $$$ crossover = NFA
BN = NFA
If they think they lost badly due to the Linggam case, wait til they see how much they'll fare this coming election. Even as a person watching from the sidelines, I'm mad as hell as to see how much B**LSH*T they think we can take.
The anger comes from how they think they can treat us lke fools. My sentiments are shared with almost everyone I've met.
Just the thought that they think we're brainless just makes my blood boil!!!!!!!

But I think your magnificent headlines says it all. Why bother waiting for the case against the Selangor MB to go to trail. Lets get the rope and lynch him now and not waste any time and money.
At a time when we need confidence and morale that something is being done to serve justice, NFA is stamped all over the files. How many trees were felled to write up the reports I wonder?
