It was stated that VK Lingam’s secretary typed an alleged judgement until 3 am in the morning and that the floppy disk that contained the judgement was delivered to Justice Mokhtar Sidin. Well, in defense, Mokhtar Sidin will probably say that the fact that his final judgement appears identical to the one typed by Lingam is coincidental.
I pause here to think about the whole episode. Sure, tycoon Vincent Tan - who is party to the defamation suit mentioned in the hearing - may not have claimed the RM10 million in damages awarded to him against journalist MGG Pillai. According to him, it was ‘a bad investment’. I beg to differ.
Tan knew for a fact that the defendants did not have RM10 million to pay him from the word go. What I believe he wanted to do is send a message to all Malaysians to not trifle with him. His ‘gunslinger’ would come after you. We know how ‘fast’ VK Lingam is and now we know the sheriff was also helping him to shoot down the innocent.
