from malaysiakini:

The four-volume report will be sold at RM542.10 and be available next week from
the government printers.

While volume one - which is the report itself - has only 191 pages, volume two
containing the notes of evidence is 1,187 pages long, while volume three
contains all the statutory declarations submitted to the commission (513 pages)
and the final volume contains the exhibits (998 pages).

the royal commission of inquiry has recommended that ex PM, mahathir and 5 other
persons to be investigated under a slew of laws - sedition act, official secrets
act, penal code, prevention of corruption act and the legal profession act.

the 5 are former chief justices ahmad fairuz  and eusoff chin, senior lawyer VK
lingam, former minister tengku adnan and business tycoon vincent tan. (picture
as can be seen here -  taken from Malaysiakini. the first picture is taken from
malaysian insider).

from malaysian insider:

The inquiry’s report said "there was conceivably an insidious movement by
(Lingam) with the covert assistance of his close friends (Tan and Tengku Adnan)
to involve themselves actively in the appointment of judges."

"In the process … Mahathir was also entangled," the report added. "Actions of
the main characters concerned have the effect of seriously undermining and
eroding the independence and integrity of the judiciary as a whole."

well since the recording of the tape happened during mahathir’s time as PM,
naturally he was ‘entangled’ in it. hmm.. i wonder what will mahathir say.
looking forward to his statement, which i’m sure will consists of something like
"there had been attempts to implicate me". oh sorry i mean "these are attempts
to implicate me". of course i also can’t wait for the reaction of the other 5.
interesting times ahead in bolehland coming up again!

jom! let’s go to pelita nasi kandar and talk about it……….
