History
a) THE HOTTICK AFFAIR
Records on file with Hong Kong's registrar of companies show that on Feb. 3, 1997, Zaki Azmi, a senior partner in Malaysian law firm Rashid & Lee, became a director of Hottick. He was joined on the Hottick board by another Rashid & Lee senior partner, Abdul Rashid Manaff, Salehuddin, Virata and Abdul Hamid Abdul Manaff, Rashid's brother. Rashid & Lee is Renong's longtime legal adviser and principal solicitor. The firm's Abdul Rashid has, for years, served as a personal legal adviser for Halim.
Halim's legal associates had ready access to Malaysian bank credits to make the NSC purchase. Hottick immediately borrowed US$800 million from Malaysia's four biggest banks through their offshore subsidiaries on the Malaysian island of Labuan. One of the four was Bank of Commerce (Labuan) Ltd., which is controlled by 18%-Renong owned Commerce Assets Holdings Bhd. As security for the loan, Hottick pledged its 1.55 billion just-purchased NSC shares to the Malaysian banks.

c) An affair of the heart
Zaki seeks to annul marriage
(By A. Hafiz Yatim ,6 August 2005,New Straits Times)
KUALA LUMPUR, Fri. - Three months ago, prominent lawyer Tan Sri Zaki Azmi took a second wife quietly in a ceremony in a textile shop in Perlis.
Both he and Nor Hayati Yahaya, 32, agreed to burn the original marriage certificate to hide the marriage from his first wife.
In his statement of claim filed on July 26, Zaki said that Nor Hayati and he were married in May this year in a ceremony presided by a kadi from Thailand.
After the ceremony, both the newly-weds signed a form, which was written in Jawi and Thai. He sought legal advice after the divorce and was told that his marriage may not have been legal under the local Syarak and Syariah law.
The 59th Federal Territory Consultative meeting states that a marriage performed by a Thai kadi outside his jurisdiction in Thailand is considered void.

The Malay UMNO leaders have learned to “spin” and project a feel good factor into their public statements relating to their most diabolical projects and making them appear to be advantageous to their intended victims (their minority races). The Americans and the NAZIS are masters of this art (created by Dr Goebbels, Nazis Propaganda Minister and spin was the Nazis tool to implement Hitler’s holocaust and the eradication of the Jews in Europe); as for example George W. Bush had secret plans to attack Iraq and steal Iraqi oil, the Pentagon spin doctors put out a barrage of public statements that Saddam was a beast & dictator and had to be removed for the good of the Iraqi people. This is spin concealing their true evil purpose behind sweet words that are aimed at masking the evil behind the words.
I just heard “Syed Albar” explain that the Malaysian Government is very reluctant to abuse their Internal Security Act, to jail activists as they had done to Hindraff leaders. This is the most diabolical spin if ever I heard one. The Malaysian Government had at the drop of a hat would resort to the excesses of the ISA for the slightest of excuse. I remember how the Government abused the ISA to jail willy nilly 2 bit gansters. I had last night visitors from KL for dinner and the discussion veered to the Hindraff riot and the jailing of their leaders for attempted MURDER ? This is the height of the abuse of the Law. The truth is the Malaysian Government are never accountable; they do as they please.
Coming back to our dinner discussion, my guests tells me and I can see the sense in their point of view; that the Hindraff Riot was a peaceful demonstration BUT THAT THE POLICE WERE INSTRUCTED TO PROVOKE A VIOLENT REACTION. Why did the police acted in the manner (with violent water cannons laced with dangerous chemicals; and tear gas grenades). IF YOU CARE TO EXAMINE THE VIDEO OF THE POLICE RESPONSE, YOU WOULD FIND THAT IT WAS THE POLICE THAT CAUSED FEAR & CHAOS, firing into unarmed & totally helpless Indians who were out to demonstrate their dire economic DUES as citizens of Malaysia. The did not deserve such callous and overly harsh abuse by armed police who bludgeoned them to within an inch of their lives. My guests were correct in their assessment of the brutality of police over reaction; UMNO leaders planned to cause the ILLUSION OF POLITICAL UP HEAVAL SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THE OPTION TO DELAY THE UPCOMING ELECTION SET FOR 2009 BECAUSE DATO ANWAR IBRAHIM WILL BE FREE TO CONTEST THE ELECTION. I truly believe that if the indications on the Malaysian political scene was that UMNO will not win they will use the excuse of the Hindaff riot to impose EMERGENCY AND POSTPONE THE ELECTION.
Consider this proposition, how is it that UMNO is able to govern Malaysia for the last 50 years, WHEN UMNO IS UNABLE TO WIN IN ELECTIONS IN KELANTAN & TRENGGANU (both predominantly Malay constituencies ) ? I do not believe that support from both MIC & MCA (both ethnic parties are not representative of Indian & Chinese support). In the MIC I do not believe that Sammy Vellu has the genuine support of the Indians, hence this riot demonstrates that he does not have their support. In the MCA, their leadership too is all self serving and the MCA does not truly represent Chinese interests. Both the MIC & MCA are retained by UMNO to give the semblance of across the board support of all the communities that make up Malaysian society BUT IN TRUTH THE GOVERNMENT DISHONESTLY MANIPULATES THE BOLLOT BOXES AS SHOWN IN THE RECENT ELECTION IN KUALA SELANGOR.
I had earlier written a letter posted on my blogg (re: http://yapchongyee.blogspot.com that Malaysia is not a democracy at all, but an oligarchy, the government has been by the same few families. This is where I am stating my point that Malay UMNO leaders have learned to “SPIN” and under the cover of spin they project the illusion that the government is an elected one when in truth the election of UMNO is by trickery, by ballot box stuffing. ALL MALAYSIANS MSUT WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA RETAINS POWER BY FRAUD. It serves no one in Malaysia be they Malays or Chinese or Indians. A nation is only as strong as when all thei people work together for equal rights & equal opportunities. I am not writing and arguing for equal rights for the Chinese, because I believe that our Chinese are better off migrating to Australia. I have also written in my last letter that the number of Chinese remains relatively the same number of 4.5 million at the time of Merdeka; this means that there has been very substantial emigration from Malaysia, most to Singapore. I am also not interested to put up suggestions for the improvement of Malaysia, That is something that nobody can do because it is already the mind set of the Malays that they are the superior race and that Malaysia belong to the Malays; but who is to say NO ? On the other hand IF THE MALAYS ARE SO SUPERIOR, WHY DO THEY STILL NOW NEED AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS ? This shows that the Malays are an inferior race, and they cannot survive if left to fend for themselves.
It is sad that of the 24 million Malays only a handful have it all for the lest 50 years and yet they are unable to advance in real terms. The Malays of today is as deprived as they were and still are deprived today. I ask UMNO how many of the Malays have advanced in real terms today as they were 50 years ago. Yes ! There are many Malays living in the modern towns like PJ, BUT WHAT IS MORE TELLING OF THE TRUE SITUATION IS THE QUESTION, HOW MANY MORE OF THE 24 MILLION LIVE IN THE COUNTRY ? That is the more important question. From my perspective the true count of Malays benefiting from the NEP are the bureaucrats; and that could only be in the hundreds of thousands (NOT EVEN IN THE FUCKING 1 MILLION); then the question that follows is, what has happened to the other 23 million Malays rakyat living in the Kampongs ? What have to got out of voting for UMNO ? NOTHING, not a fucking thing. The true Malay rakyat has still to awaken to the fraud perpetrated by their UMNO, the Malay Party and spinner of fine hearing tales of the BOUNTY OF PLENTY THAT COME FROM DEPRIVING THE CHINESE & INDIANS.
My perspective is for the races of Malaysia to abolish the UMNO ploy of racism that do nothing for everybody else except to the sole benefit of UMNO leaders. I will write in my next letter to argue that it is time for all the races to abolish affirmative action because it benefits only the very, very few in UMNO. It is time to change Malaysian leaders and support the OPPOSITION; what UMNO tell the Malays are an ILLUSION.
MY NEXT LETTER after I show you what an illiterate in LAW that dumb arsehole this so called FEDERAL COURT JUDGE ZAINON BINTI MOHD. ALI IS.

MY OPINION THAT DAVID HAS VEERED OFF COURSE IF HE APPEALED AGAINST JUDGE ZAINON BINTI MOHD. ALI’S ORDER FOR STRIKING OUT
I Have sent to Mr David Hoh email of my opinion that he has no basis for any recourse to appeal against the order of Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali for striking out of my wife’s petition. I have argued this point on several occasion to no avail. I and my wife have absolutely no idea what Mr David Hoh has done vis a vis the matter of the appeal.
I have been contacted by BUSINESS TIMES OF SINGAPORE, I believe it must be relating to an interview on matters arising from my blogg. I want it on the record that I have already emailed my opinion to Mr David Hoh. This is providing that I will sue Mr David Hoh for damages arising out of his professional negligence.
Mr David Hoh from my knowledge, did not file any application on my wife’s behalf, ASKING THE COURT TO DISMISS STEPHEN LIM’S APPLICATION FOR STRIKING OUT petition for showing no ciurse of action. David only applied for leave to cross examine for forgery and perjury. He did not file any defense ASKING FOR THE DISMISSAL OF STEPHEN LIM’S NONSENSICAL APPLICATION FOR STRIKING OUT. Therefore failure to file my wife’s application for dismissal means that Mr David DID NOT RAISE ANY ISSUE THAT THE COURT CAN ACT ON. Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali is left with no choice but to approve to Stephen Lim Cheng Ban his application for striking out; although in the normal course Judge zainon binti Mohd. Ali would have to dismiss Stephen Lim’s application as nonsensical SEEING THAT STEPHEN LIM HAD ALREADY ENFORCED HIS ORDER FOR SECURITY FOR COSTS. The fact that Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali had acted like A MUDHEAD is another matter’ but all the same she had no authority after having aided & abetted respondents to enforce their security for costs, and Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali’s subsequent action to award Stephen Lim her order to strike out; The two orders awarded by Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali together would make her actions amount to aiding & abetting the respondents TO OBTAIN MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES because at the time when she awarded the respondents the order to strike out, she knew that respondents WERE HOLDING MONEY THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAYING THE COSTS OF THE RESPONDENTS IF PETITIONER LOST HER CASE. Therefore by Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali’s order for striking out, her action gave respondents the right to keep petitioner’s RM.60,000. Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali had all the time been to deprive petitioner of her RM.60,000.
Logically, if David had appealed against Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali’s order for striking out, THEN HE IS BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE, because as I said earlier, HE HAD NOT APPLIED FOR DISMISSAL OF THE APPLICATION FOR STRIKING OUT. This means he had nothing to appeal against and he will definitely lose.
My solution is for David to apply to the High Court that delivered Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali for leave to set the petition down for hearing, despite Judge zainon binti Mohd. Ali’s order to strike out. This is my opinion because THE FUCKING ORDER FOR SECURITY FOR COSTS WAS ALREADY ENFORCED AND MONEY PAID BY MY WIFE & RECEIVED BY RESPONDENTS. Just disregard Judge Zainon binti Mohd. Ali’s nonsense order for striking out. She in the circumstances had no power to award both order for security for costs and fucking order for striking out. That being the case if our application for setting down of the petition for hearing IS REFUSED, THEN IT MADE SENSE FOR PETITIONER TO APPEAL AGAINST JUDGE’S REFUSAL FOR ALLOWING THE PETITION TO PROCEED TO TRIAL.
This is my opinion and this will be the basis for my action against M/s Lim & Hoh for professional negligence. If I were David I will withdraw my appeal against Zainon binti Mohd. Ali’s order for striking out and go for applying for setting down the case for hearing and if refused to go on appeal on that same point. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, and and appeal against striking out is completely out of the point.
Hey David don’t be an arsehole; you are going fucking off course.
