FULL REPORT Kuala Lumpur: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim launched another Israel-

link salvo in the Dewan Rakyat today.

CCORDING to him, the Israeli

military intelligence had been

involved in the police technology

park in Bukit Aman since two years ago.

ADuring the supplementary bill debate, the

Permatang Pauh MP claimed that Inspector-

General of Police Musa Hassan had admitted

this in a statement.

He quoted Musa as saying in a news report last

year, "Police were aware of the involvement of

the Israelis in the communications upgrading

system. We informed the home ministry as soon

as we learnt about it.

To back his claim, Anwar also produced several

letters which he said were from the senior

police officers, namely the police chief, head of

logistics and the Special Branch director.

The opposition leader said in October 2008,

Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timor) had raised the

same issue in the House "but this was brushed

aside by the home minister then".

"Then between November and December (of

the same year), a report was lodged by police

officers and the case was investigated by one

ASP Sairah. Then Sairah was transferred to

Taiping and there was no news after that," he

said.

Anwar added that on Nov 25, 2008, the then

home minister (Syed Hamid Albar) held a

special briefing at the VIP room at the Kuala

Lumpur International Airport.

The briefing, he said, was regarding the alleged

involvement of Israeli intelligence in the

information technology division of the second

and third floors of the Bukit Aman police

headquarters.

Letter 'reveals' Israeli involvementAccording to Anwar, the matter was first raised

by the police's logistic director Mashuri Zainal

through a letter dated Dec 1, 2008 to the

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission

(MACC).

The senior police officer alleged that the third

phase of the police reporting system (PRS)

project did not follow procedure.

The letter, Anwar said, revealed that the project

was handed to Masterplan Consultancy Sdn

Bhd (MPC) and later subcontracted to AsiaSoft

Malaysia Bhd.

Although this appeared normal on the surface,the letter however claimed that in May 2008, a

report from the Special Branch director

confirmed the involvement of two former

Israeli intelligence oficers in the PRS project.

"In August 2008, the Special Branch probed

Israeli involvement via Asiasoft as

subcontractor and two shareholders of Asiasoft

-- B System Sdn Bhd which holds 70 percent

and Asia Soft Pte Ltd (30 percent), which wasregistered in Singapore, and controlled by

AsiaSoft Global Pte Ltd based in Tel Aviv,

Israel," said the opposition leader.

Anwar said the latest revelation could not be

disputed as Israeli nationals Izhak David Nakar

and Ido Schechter are both directors for

AsiaSoft Global.

"And the letter I mentioned just now suggested

that the contract be terminated for two reasons

-- national security and not adhering to

procedure, he said, noting that no action was

taken.

This was followed by a report lodged by one

ASP Suhaimi on Nov 28, 2008 with the Dang

Wangi district police headquarters accusingMasterplan Consultancy of false declaration.

On Dec 3, Anwar said Mahsuri (the logistics

director) wrote to the home ministry's secretary-

general and subsequently to the ministry's legal

adviser asking the contract to be terminated.

He added that on Jan 12, 2009, the ministry's

legal adviser had answered, replying that the

matter had been referred to the relevant

authorities and termination of the contract couldonly take place with "instruction from the top

leadership".

Syed Hamid: It's a lieAt this juncture, Syed Hamid (BN-Kota Tinggi)

stood up and accused the opposition leader of

"lying".

He then challenged Anwar to provide evidence

that he was at the meeting mentioned earlier,

and this prompted the latter to give specific

details of the alleged meeting.

"But I had attended a lot of meetings (when I

was a minister) and it was impossible for me to

remember every single one," Syed Hamid

retorted.

At a press conference later, Anwar denied that

he was anti-semitic.

"This is not a Jew issue or anti-semitism. This

is an issue of security and espionage, the

involvement of Apco (Worldwide). We were

fooled until our 1Malaysia concept has big

similarities with One 'Israel'," he said.

Previously, Anwar had alleged that Prime

Minister Najib Tun Razak's 1Malaysia concept

was a carbon copy of the One Israel concept.

He claimed that the same US-based public

relations firm Apco Worldwide had

masterminded both concepts, a charge which

had been denied by Najib as well as Apco.

Following this, the government sought to

censure Anwar for misleading the House by

referring him to the Rights and Privileges

Committee.

IGP: Provide evidenceIn a related development, Musa challenged

Anwar to provide proof concerning his latest

allegation.

He said the police needed concrete evidence,

including all information obtained by Anwar,

before starting a detailed investigation on the

matter.

"Provide evidence on the matter... so that it's

easy for us to investigate because we can't start

an investigation without any evidence," he told

Bernama.

Musa, who declined further comment, said

police would open investigation as soon as they

received complete information from Anwar.
