SHAH ALAM: Celcom Ber-had's technical specialist Haizal Hambali told the High Court here yesterday that he did not depend on one source of information to trace the movements of Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri but referred to data from several transmission stations to triangulate his position at the material times.

Haizal, 32, said based on information collated from the "Location Area Code" (LAC)) and "Service Area Code" (SAC) of the telecommunications provider's transmission stations and exchange, calls made by the first accused in the murder trial of Altantuya Shaaribuu, were from the locations he had given and could not be far from them.= = == = = = =

ABOVE & BELOW: Haizal as seen on Day 87 of the Trial

Haizal is the prosecution's 63rd witness in the trial, which entered its 87th day yesterday.

He testified for almost five hours during re-examination by deputy public prosecutor Tun Abdul Majid Tun Hamzah on mobile telephone transaction data relating to calls made by Azilah to refute claims by counsel J. Kuldeep Kumar, the accused's lawyer, that one of the records showed Azilah could not have been at the murder scene.

On Wednesday, Kuldeep had claimed that according to records provided by Mohd Firdaous Mohd Omar of Celcom's Investigations and Special Projects Division, the location codes of Azilah were different and he (Azilah) was in Jalan Pahang and not Damansara as stated by Haizal. There was also the possibility that Azilah could have been at First World in Genting Highlands and not Pekan Subang on the day of the Mongolian woman's murder. The discrepancy arose because of the technical errors made by Celcom staff when extracting call data from differing systems.

Azilah's mobile phone used the 3G system.

Justice Mohd Zaki Md Yasin then stated that it was not the fault of the defence lawyer in inferring that his client was at a different place because the records indicated so.

When Mohd Zaki asked Haizal, who should be faulted for this, he did not reply and just smiled in the witness box

Azilah, 32, and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 37, are alleged to have murdered Altantuya, 28, between 10pm on Oct 19, 2006 and 1am the next day at a jungle in Bukit Raja near here. Abdul Razak Baginda, 48, a political analyst, is charged with abetting them. Hearing before Judge Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin continues on Monday 18^th Feb 2008).

Prosecution to call six more witnesses

Maria J. Dass, theSUN
SHAH ALAM (Feb 15, 2008): The prosecution in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial is expected to call at least six more witnesses before it wraps up its case. Deputy Public Prosecutor Tun Abdul Majid (BELOW) Tun Hamzah also told the High Court he needed another day to re-examine Celcom (M) Bhd technical specialist Haizal Hambali on the technical details of call transactions made through the phone number 019-3636153 registered to first accused Chief Insp Azilah Hadri.

The call transactions have been the subject of scrutiny by the court since December. Yesterday, judge Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin asked Tun Abdul Majid if he was going to finish wrapping up the prosecution’s case after the DPP said he was almost done questioning Haizal, the 63rd witness in the trial and the third from Celcom. Tun Abdul Majid said he hoped to finish the re-examination of Haizal by today. After that, "we have no choice but to call another witness from Celcom to explain the discrepancies and missing data in the Call Details Record (CDR)". He said he may need to question this witness over the next three days of the hearing, scheduled for next week.
“After that, we have three doctors, one hospital assistant and the investigating officer (ASP Tonny Lunggan) scheduled to testify,” he said.

Azilah, 31, a Police Special Action Unit officer, and his colleague Sirul Azhar Umar, 36, are charged with murdering Altantuya, a Mongolian, at a jungle clearing in Puncak Alam between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20, 2006. Political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, 48, is charged with abetting them.

Earlier, Haizal testified that a Cell ID cannot be used to identify a 3G transmission station as it is not a unique identification code. He said that for the 3G system, the Location Area Code (LAC) should be read together with the Service Area Code (SAC) to identify the exact location of a station. Haizal said there may be more than one transmission station using the same Cell ID code.

He said he would not be able to pinpoint the exact location of a transmission station using just the Cell ID as the search results would show more than one station. Late last month, during the examination-in-chief, Haizal told the court the SAC identified a transmission station, the LAC identified an area, and a Cell ID a cell. To identify a site accurately for a 2G system, one needed to combine the LAC and Cell ID. For the 3G system, the LAC needed to be read together with the SAC. Haizal said although the SAC acted as a Cell ID for the 3G system, this Cell ID was only used for internal processing.
However, there was some confusion during the trial over the Cell ID because of the placement of the columns in the CDR which was tendered as evidence.

Questioned by Tun Abdul Majid, Haizal said the transmission station in Plaza Damansara, for instance, has three Cell ID codes. “However, I can identify that it is Plaza Damansara specifically via its SAC code which is unique to that station,” he said. Yesterday's re-examination was plunged into a banality of technicalities as Abdul Majid went through the LAC, SAC and Cell ID codes of the various transmission stations between Bukit Aman and Puncak Alam, and other stations that shared the same Cell ID codes, including KLIA, First World Genting and FRIM in Kepong. The exact identification of the transmission stations is needed to strengthen the prosecution's case to show that Azilah had travelled to and from Puncak Alam from Bukit Aman on the night of Oct 19 and the early hours of Oct 20, 2006.

DAY 86

Judge ticks off lawyer for repeating question; Maria J.Das; theSUN

ABOVE: The "expert & smart" lawyer who tried to debunk the call details provided by Celcom as "conspiracy" with the Police was rapped by the judge for bullying the witness by asking the SAME question 3 times

SHAH ALAM (Feb 13, 2008): An exasperated Judge Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin ticked off a lawyer for asking the same question three times while cross-examining a witness in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial today. Mohd Zaki told J. Kuldeep Kumar, defence counsel for murder accused C/Insp Azilah Hadri: “If this was a traffic summons case I would have stopped you from questioning the witness two days ago, but this case involves capital punishment and that’s why I have allowed you to carry on questioning the witness, said Judge Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin after patiently sitting through three days of cross examination by J. Kuldeep Kumar who is the defence counsel for C/Insp Azilah Hadri.

Azilah, 31 a police Special Action Unit officer is jointly charged with his colleague Cpl Sirul Azhar Umar, 36, with murdering Mongolian interpreter Altantuya between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20 in 2006 in a jungle clearing in Puncak Alam. Political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, 48, is charged with abetting them. Prosecution witness number 63 Haizal Hambali a Celcom (M) Bhd technical specialist took to the stand on Jan 24 and after three days of examination in chief by DPP Tun Abdul Majid Tun Hamzah moved on to be crossed examined by Kuldeep who went into detailed scrutiny of the Call Detail Records (CDR) which included the site names and region for Celcom number 019-3636153 which was used by Azilah. Today Mohd Zaki chided Kuldeep for asking the same questions. “You’ve asked him this question three times already,” he said at one point while pointing out several times that the witness had already answered the questions being put to him. Almost everyone heaved a sigh of relief when Kuldeep completed his questioning around 4.50pm today.

However, the ordeal has not ended for Haizal who will have to go through a round of re-examination by Tun Abdul Majid tomorrow. He has also been asked by the court, upon request by Kuldeep, to verify if the route between Jalan Duta and Jalan Kuching near Segambut is serviced by the Kampung Batu 2G transmission station, and if the route between Jalan Duta and Sapura Tower is serviced by the 3G TM Kenny Rise transmission station.

This request was made by Kuldeep after Haizal said that it was possible that a phone user would be serviced by the PWTC transmission station if they had made a call transaction while passing Jalan Kuching and heading towards Jalan Pahang, by the MMA Jalan Pahang station if they were headed to Wangsa Maju via Jalan Pahang, and by the Kampung Batu station if they were headed to Segambut via Jalan Kuching. These transactions showed up in the CDR for 019-3636153 on the night of Oct 19, 2006.

Earlier during the trial, Azilah’s lawyers insinuated that Azilah was not at the crime scene in Puncak Alam on the night of Oct 19 as some of the call transactions support the fact that he may have been with his fiancé Norazilah Baharuddin in Wangsa Maju during the time the crime was committed.

Haizal said that he had only focused on the call transactions made by the user of 019-3636153 the night between Oct 19 and 20, 2006 and had not conducted the drive test for transactions recorded by other transmission stations. There were 1,800 transactions in the CDR.

Haizal disagreed with Kuldeep’s statement that he had conspired with the police to name the transmission stations as contained in the call details record tendered in court, and maintained that he was the one who led the way to the area near the crime scene during the drive test he had conducted together with investigating officers ASP Tonny Lunggan and DSP Gan Teck Guan.

Hearing continues tomorrow.

DAY 85 (Feb 12)

Wednesday February 13, 2008

Technician followed transmission clues to murder site

SHAH ALAM: A Celcom technician told the High Court here yesterday that police did not lead him to the place where Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu was murdered. Haizal Hambali (ABOVE) said that on June 16 last year, the police only took him to a lane at the house of political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda. From there, he led the way to the murder scene based on the locations of transmission stations which captured calls and text messages made by C/Insp Azilah Hadri from Oct 17 to 20, 2006.

He said the purpose of him taking the route from the lane to the murder scene was not to update C/Insp Azilah's incomplete call and text message transactions but to verify the locations of all transmission stations along the route. He denied a suggestion that the list of transmission stations which captured C/Insp Azilah's call and text message transactions had been modified by inserting the names of stations he found on June 16. During the cross examination by C/Insp Azilah's lawyer, J. Kuldeep Kumar, he said the road map showing the locations of the transmission stations were accurate and complete. Haizal, 32, is the 63rd prosecution witness in the murder trial which entered its 85th day yesterday. The proceedings ended early after Haizal complained to Justice Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin that he was tired and needed rest after looking after his four-month-old child who was warded yesterday. C/Insp Azilah, 32, and Kpl Sirul Azhar Umar, 37, of the police's Special Action Unit, are alleged to have murdered the 28-year-old Mongolian woman between 10pm on Oct 19, 2006 and 1am the next day in Bukit Raja. Abdul Razak, 48, is charged with abetting them. Hearing continues.

Porn crackdown at Aussie airports nets 19

THE crackdown on porn at Australian airports which resulted in the arrest of a Singapore Airlines pilot last Saturday, has netted 19 people since January last year. Two others – another Singaporean and a Malaysian Airlines pilot – were also arrested in the last one week. The crackdown appears to be confined to Australia, although arrests have been made from time to time elsewhere.
On Tuesday, for example, Italian police arrested a 55-year-old university professor after he stepped off a plane from Bangkok at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport. The arrest was part of a country-wide crackdown on child pornography. In Dubai last November, a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) deejay was arrested for allegedly carrying pornographic DVDs into the country.

The Australian action appears to be a concerted effort aimed at stopping the smuggling of pornography into the country via Adelaide, according to a statement on the country's Customs website. The website quoted Australian Customs national manager of investigations, Richard Janeczko, as saying the department was seeing an increase in interceptions of objectionable pornography at the border. Meanwhile, the SIA pilot at the centre of the porn storm, Captain Ng Kok Yauw, has arrived back in Singapore. The father of two has been suspended by the airline pending investigations. He was charged by Australian authorities on Monday and fined A$12,000 (RM35,000). He pleaded guilty and paid the fine. – The Straits Times / Asia News Network

Are pilots specifically targeted when arriving in Australia? There are only scores of them arriving daily bringing in thousand of airline passengers. It is reported that it is normal” for passengers to be asked to turn on their laptops to prove that they are working, it is not often that airport officials would check files and other documents”. To scan through the computer files of passengers would make airline traveling a big harassment for those who need to carry their laptops around.
So when the Pilots the last to leave the planes sauntered in through the customs they were targeted for a “slow check”. Literally they were trapped when they were ask if they have anything to declare. Probably they were aware that porn materials are allowed and when asked they would replied they have “nothing” to declare. And when customs scanned and found the "objectionable" or "abhorrent" child porn they were charged with importing & false statement and not in possession of them.

They should be more specific and ask "Any child porn in the laptops?. If so delete them" The severity of the punishment is apparently based on the number of the offensive video clips. One wonders if the “holier-than-thou” Aussies are also censoring the Internet on downloading such stuff to corrupt more of their kind.

SIA pilot with porn in laptop fined in Australia

He is the third person to be arrested in less than a week in Aussie crackdown on smut
By Karamjit Kaur, Aviation Correspondent, asiaonline

A SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) pilot caught with pornographic material in his personal computer at the Adelaide International Airport on Saturday has been fined A$12,000 (S$15,000). Captain Ng Kok Yauw, a 41-year-old Malaysian, is the third person arrested by the Australian Customs Service in less than a week, amid a crackdown on attempts to bring pornography into the country through the southern Australian city. The other two arrested are a 41-year-old Singaporean, whose identity is not known, and Mr Ahmad Said, 23, a Malaysia Airlines (MAS) co-pilot. The Singaporean, who has been similarly charged, will be back in an Adelaide magistrate's court on Feb 25. The MAS pilot was reported in Malaysian media to have been fined A$6,000. He has been suspended from flying pending an MAS inquiry.

He was caught with three video files, including one believed to involve child pornography, in his laptop. His lawyer told the Australian court that his client had been sent an e-mail containing the files and had not deleted them or shown them to anyone else. As for Capt Ng, a spokesman for the Australian Customs told The Straits Times that when he was questioned by officers, he denied carrying prohibited items. But when they checked his laptop, they found 'objectionable material depicting abhorrent sexual acts'. The spokesman said all people entering Australia, be they pilots, cabin crew or regular passengers, are subject to the same checks, and will be dealt with if caught carrying prohibited items.

Offences involving objectionable pornography carry fines of up to A$110,000; if child pornography is involved, the fine can go up to A$275,000, and the jail term up to 10 years.

Dr John Harrison, an aviation security expert with the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at the Nanyang Technological University, said that while it is common for passengers to be asked to turn on their laptops to prove that they are working, it is not often that airport officials would check files and other documents. Capt Ng, who was charged in court on Monday, is due home in a few days.

SIA spokesman Stephen Forshaw said in response to queries: 'The captain involved will not be flying until our flight operations management have had the opportunity to speak to him directly about this matter and make an assessment.' Pilots The Straits Times spoke to said Capt Ng is married with at least one child. A senior SIA pilot, who did not want to be named, said he is 'a nice chap and a regular family man, not the wild flamboyant sort. It is a shame that this has happened'.

SIA pilot fined for porn had 7 videos showing rape, child sex

SEVEN video files were found on the personal computer of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) pilot who was fined A$12,000 for trying to bring child pornography into Australia, court documents showed on Wednesday. Some of the videos contained footage of rape, sexual violence and children engaged in sexual activity, the documents said.

Captain Ng Kok Yauw, 41, a Malaysian, piloted a Singapore Airlines flight last Saturday from Singapore to Adelaide, Australia, when customs officials searched his laptop and found video clips of child pornography, Adelaide court documents seen by Reuters said. Ng, who appeared in court on Monday, pleaded guilty to charges of importing banned material and making a false statement to a customs officer. He could not be reached for comment but Singapore Airlines, the world's second-largest airline by market value, said the airline was conducting its own investigation. He was the third person arrested by Australian Customs Service in less than a week, in the wake of a crackdown on attempts to bring pornography into the country. The other two arrested are a 41-year-old Singaporean, who has been similarly charged, and Mr Ahmad Said, 23, a Malaysia Airlines (MAS) co-pilot, who was fined A$6,000. Mr Ahmad has been suspended from flying pending an MAS inquiry. The Singaporean will be charged in an Adelaide magistrate's court on Feb 25. The maximum sentence in Australia for offences involving child pornography is a fine of A$275,000 and 10 years imprisonment.

While it is not an offence to bring pornographic material into Australia, an Australian customs spokeswoman said it was a crime to bring in 'objectionable' or 'abhorrent' pornography into the country. This would include materials that 'offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults', the spokeswoman said. -- REUTERS

Tuesday February 12, 2008; ‘Porn pilot’ ‘under probe

By TEH ENG HOCK, STAR

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysia Airlines (MAS) pilot, who was caught and fined for importing child pornography in Adelaide, has been relieved of flying duties to facilitate an internal enquiry by the national carrier. In a statement, MAS group human resources senior general manager Effendi Abdul Rahman said: “We are first conducting an internal enquiry into this matter. Based on the findings, any further action taken will be in accordance with the MoU between Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysia Airlines Pilots Association (MAPA).” The pilot, who was identified by Australian news portals ABC News and the Adelaide Advertiser as Ahmad Said, 25, was arrested by Customs officers at the Adelaide International Airport last Thursday after they found three video files containing child pornography in his laptop. ABC News said that when the pilot arrived at the airport, he told them he did not have anything to declare. But when Customs officers searched his laptop, they found the child video files. The Adelaide Advertiser reported that the videos were titled “Reped Virgin”, “10-Year Old” and “High School Students.” His lawyer told the court that Ahmad had been e-mailed the video files and had not shown them to anyone else. “He was simply reckless, this was not material brought in to be disseminated,” lawyer Stephen Barratt had told the Adelaide court.

Child porn pilot convicted

Article from: The Advertiser; ANDREW DOWDELL, COURT REPORTER

February 08, 2008 03:01pm

A MALAYSIAN Airlines co-pilot has been convicted and fined for bringing child pornography into the country on his personal computer. Ahmad Said appeared handcuffed in Adelaide Magistrates Court today on a charge of importing a prohibited item. Customs officers arrested the 25-year old at Adelaide International Airport yesterday, after finding three video files containing child pornography. The videos were titled ``Reped (sic) Virgin'', ``10-Year Old'' and ``High School Students.'' ``This material is repugnant and abhorrent - any decent minded person would be so affected by it,'' Magistrate Simon Smart said. Mr Smart said the rape scene featured a crying girl aged under 18 being forced to have sex with an older male. ``These are not victimless crimes - for every video that depicts such a scene there is a victim,'' he said. Said's computer was searched after he flew into Adelaide as co-pilot on a Malaysian Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur.

His lawyer Stephen Barratt said Said had been e-mailed the video files and had not shown anyone else. ``He was simply reckless, this was not material brought in to be disseminated,'' Mr Barratt said. Mr Smart rejected the defence assertion that Said had ``no interest'' in the pornography, saying there would be no market for such images without people like him. Mr Barratt said the conviction could ruin Said's career as a pilot at Malaysian Airlines after rising rapidly through the ranks in the past few years. ``The result of this conviction ... could alter the whole of his life and his family,'' Mr Barratt said.
Mr Barratt said Said's arrest and detention in custody for almost 24 hours was ``fairly harsh.'' ``He has suffered from being kept overnight in custody and now sits before the court manacled, which he describes to me as one of the lowest points of his life,'' Mr Barratt said. Magistrate Smart fined Said $5,000 and ordered that his laptop be forfeited to the Crown.

Visiting pilot fined over child porn

Posted Fri Feb 8, 2008 4:15pm AEDT
A Malaysian Airlines pilot arriving in Adelaide was found to have child sex videos on his laptop computer. A Malaysia Airlines pilot who was caught importing child pornography to Australia yesterday has faced court. When Ahmad Said, 25, arrived at Adelaide Airport yesterday he said he did not have anything to declare. But customs officers searched his laptop and found child sex videos. A handcuffed Said has faced court.
Magistrate Simon Smart told him the videos were cruel and violent and it was a disgrace that the married father of two had brought the material to Australia.
The magistrate said people like Said encouraged the market for child pornography. Said, whose wife is expecting their third child, was fined $6,000.
He left court with a jumper over his head because of television camera crews.

Two arrested on unrelated porn charges
February 8, 2008 - 11:12AM

Advertisement. Two men have been charged with importing pornography after unrelated incidents at Adelaide airport.
Australian Customs said on Wednesday this week a 41-year-old man from Singapore was found to have objectionable material involving sex acts on a laptop computer and a portable flash drive. He is due to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on February 25 on a charge of importing pornography. In the second arrest, a 23-year-old man from Malaysia was arrested after customs investigators found objectionable material on a laptop.

He was expected to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court.
Customs national manager of investigations Richard Janeczko said officials were seeing an increase in attempts to bring pornographic material into Australia. "Customs has a responsibility to protect the Australian community by intercepting, investigating and prosecuting smuggling of offensive pornographic material and we take that role very seriously," he said.

The two men arrested face maximum penalties of 10 years in jail.

Three burnt to death in crash; By : Fay Angela D'cruz

The Proton Iswara burst into flames after it skidded and slammed into an army lorry parked on the emergency lane at Km362.5 of the North-South Expressway yesterday.

SLIM RIVER: Two men and a woman died while two others were injured when a car slammed into a parked army lorry on the North-South Expressway, causing the car to burst into flames upon impact. In the 3pm incident, it is learnt that the army lorry had stopped at Km362.5 near Slim River to lay its canvas that was loose. Slim River police chief Supt Mohd Ali Mat Nayan said the lorry with two personnel had stopped on the emergency lane.

"They got out of the truck to put back the canvas that had come loose," he said, adding that within minutes, a Proton Iswara travelling in the same north-bound direction skidded and crashed into the lorry. "The car immediately burst into flames after it crashed," he said.

Three victims in the car were burnt to death while the fourth, 26-year old Lai Siew Foong, was admitted to the Slim River Hospital with head injuries. One of the army personnel fractured both legs and was admitted to the Tapah Hospital. The other army personnel escaped unhurt as he was standing at the side of the vehicle. The army lorry was sprayed with foam to avoid contact with the flames from the car.

Firemen removed the bodies from the car after the fire was put out. The charred bodies were sent to the Slim River Hospital for a post-mortem. As at press time, the three who died had not been identified. Traffic was at a crawl for more than two hours after the incident.

Some Additional notes on Death

Our deepest condolences must be to the family.

Death is greatly misunderstood as being the end of it all, of coming too soon. Death always seems to be something just out of your understanding, responsibility, control and power. This is completely inaccurate. Death is a transformation - from one way of being into another. A death is just a night to your soul.

No man or woman consciously knows for sure which day will be the last for him or her in this particular life, that each calls the present one. Mortality with its birth and death is the framework in which the soul, for now, is expressed in flesh. It seems, perhaps, easier to have no conscious idea of the year or time that death might occur. Unconsciously of course each man and woman knows, and yet hides the knowledge.

The knowledge is usually hidden for many reasons, but the fact of death, personal death, is never forgotten. It seems obvious, but the full enjoyment of life would be impossible in the framework, now, of earthly reality without the knowledge of death.
Life and death are but two faces of your eternal, ever changing existence, however feel and appreciate the joy of your own being. Many who lived into the ripe old age of eighties or their nineties appreciated the extent of the beauty of their being and are seemed to be aware of the withdrawing of life force (energy) and their impending death.

Whether you die today or tomorrow, you have lived before, and will again, and your new life, in your terms, springs out of the old, and is growing in the old and contained within it as the seed is already contained within the flower.

No one "dies" before his or her time. The choice , manner and time of death are always yours. When the soul is ready to release the body, when it has accomplished what it came here to do, it moves on.

When we are enlightened we see things from a higher stand point from a higher intelligence. We see nothing happens by ACCIDENT or due to our own doing.

Either we are victims in an unfeeling, unsensing, dumb, chaotic universe, and everything is the result of chance or accident; or we are masters of our fate. There is no in-between.

Whenever you feel yourself powerless, then you think accidents just happen and that you have no control over them. The only answer is to realize that you form physical events, individually and en mass; you form the physical reality that you know.

You make your own reality, or you do not. And if you do not, then you are everywhere a victim, and the universe must be an accidental mechanism appearing with no reason.
