Child Porn Scandal: Has MACC’s Ahmad Said’s impartiality been compromised to protect his son? (updated)
Two things I pretty much stay away from blogging about – people’s families, and people’s sex lives. You’ll never see pictures of the sexy exploits of politician’s sons on Jelas (though perhaps, that’s more due to jealousy than anything else, haha).
I thought about it though, and in this case, I think it is in fact in the national interest – due to a question that needs to be answered (see below).
After making enquiries, I’m pretty sure that MACC Chairman, Ahmad Said – the man who is wrongfully and prejudicially intent on declaring Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim guilty before proper prosecution takes place – has a son named Ahmad Shauqi.
It turns out, Ahmad Shauqi is a pilot who was recently found guilty in Australia for bringing child porn into the country (I suspect that the website referred to him as ‘Ahmad Said’ because they thought that that was his surname).
Whether he was really smuggling child porn, or whether he was simply the victim of that ridiculous amounts of spam we all get and unfair targeting by Australian authorities is outside the scope of this blog’s speculation.
I also think that the Malaysian police are supposed to conduct their own investigation and prosecution into this case. Apparently, this police investigation and prosecution never took place.
It’s this last bit that raises serious questions that take this out of the personal/family sphere, and into the public sphere.
As a public official, Ahmad Said must be free of any aspersions that suggest an inability to carry out his duties freely, fairly and independently.
Should Ahmad Said have a son who seems to have “escaped” criminal proceedings here in Malaysia, I think we cannot say that Ahmad Said is in a position to enjoy full public confidence.
After all, it then becomes reasonable for us to question: Has Ahmad Said been coerced into pursuing only selective MACC prosecutions against certain parties in return for having his son granted immunity from criminal prosecutions?
I wish to emphatically state once again that I have little interest in sullying Ahmad Shauqi’s name, in his alleged crime, and especially in connecting whatever his misdeeds may or may not be to his father. I am not interested in Ahmad Said’s parenting abilities, or the moral integrity of the rest of his family.
I am however, forced to take an interest in the ability of Ahmad Said to fulfill his duties as a public official impartially. Should he fail in this task, then it falls to us as the public to investigate all the possible reasons why. Unanswered questions will only cast further aspersions into the integrity of the already sullied MACC.
Update 4.30pm – A commentator reminded me to include something I meant to originally: If Tan Sri Khalid is indeed guilty of corruption, then there is no excuse not to prosecute him as the law calls for. I just really hope that the same exacting standards will be applied stringently to all, whichever side of the political divide they are on.
Ahmad Shauqi is still flying with MAS, I was told and that no action has been taken by the airlines either.
Honestly, Ahmad Said is the perfect candidate as head of MACC because of his son’s conviction in Australia, they can hold him by the ballz…. do as we say or we squeeze harder!
Thx for the infomation. Now we clearly understand the urgency why he want to prosecute MB Khalid. Najis have got him by the balls.
What action has MAS taken. Has this convicted porn pilot sacked from service?
Is’nt this the policy of MAS or has MAS become the national carrier for pedophile materials?
Did the MACC Chief Commissioner had a hand to get his son’s position compromised. This interference is corruption.
Why MSM is keeping a deafening silence or are they too preoccupied with naked photos!
Ahmad Said talks about fairness and double standards, high pronouncement and rhetoric are meant for the ignorants.
Time to lodge report as to why MAS and police didn’t act. Did people abuse their power to safeguard the accused? Could it be corruption or blackmail? Any lawyers please clarify.
This matter is extremely serious. Most would have seen porn, but only a sick b***tard would enjoy looking at child porn.
Really reminds me of NST news on one year old baby being raped today… Sickening
It seems that the news was carried on MSM, but no name was mentioned. At least The Star and Malay Mail.
In a forum discussion way back in Feb 19 2008, one Captain Reinu Balakrishnan clearly stated the convicted pilot as Shauqi: http://www.topix.com/forum/world/T2SLSP67FM1KVV0JL (third post under the name “man”).
You have a valid hypothesis. The public needs to be informed about this. Find a way to get this information in to the MSM or else it’ll be doomed to be a mere piece of internet grapevine.
As a political manoeuvrings ,it’s an eye for an eye retaliation.
From an ethical point of view the corrupted pilot must not escape punishment just because his father’s somebody important.
You need not apologise, Nat.
If man is prepared to discredit an Opposition MB to please his bosses or repay for favours received, then he should be prepared to have his family dragged in mud as well.
If he wants to hang his reputation on the stake then get ready to be stoned and burnt.
It seems only tainted personalities are given such positions in public institutions – the CJ, AG, IGP -. Only then they can be told to dance to their master’s tune.
get someone outside of Malaysia like from ICAC of HK. Let him be employ for 5 years to set the high standard require of MACC
Ahmad Said…is a goner….either way….now the son’s peculiar hobby will be highlighted daily …..because Ahmad Said asked for it……position and power imporatnt mah…..what’s a son….
All Malaysain should boycott the MAS until this bastard is remove so that we will show them what is people power.Don’t think that the MACC can do what he want and forget about people in there.Why can’t he count on that BN people which has thousand of cases to investigate?Double standard Bastard so with fuccking son also
From what I have read, I believe ‘Child Pornography’ is legal in Malaysia or at least in UMNO (Untuk Monyet No Otak).
Pornography is illegal but not child pornography to UMNO standards. How pathetic !!!!!
This you scratch my back and I scratch yours involves the personalities holding very important positions in the government. They are like a web string together. And now even our MAS CEO cannot be proud of his position and work.
Pls someone go report to the police. Oraenng UNMOOOOO laju dalam hal main polis repaot.
Ha!! Ha!!! Now you all know who is the boss!!!!!
It is true that a muslim name in an International Passport is written out as father’s name first then followed by the persons name. In Europe letter from the police force addressed to me was written that way. Dad’s name followed by my name.
Hmm interesting point . but u do know that Dato Sri Anwar did commend Ahmad Said as a good man and free from negative suspicion from his experience as the DPM then. Its not fair to attack Ahmad Said this way. He is wrong to give this pre-judgemental statement on YB Khalid for sure but we must give benefit of the doubt and let him do his job. political pressure may have pushed him BUT the fact 1. Why cant PR Govt be a bit more careful. Power does seem to corrupt.Should PKNS donate the cows in other areas than it would not be a problem. even if YB Khalid was not aware he should have done something as it wil affect his image. I think morally is not wrong. its just mere incompetence as a politician to do this.Baru 1 tahun and you are doing these simple mistakes.
2. Perhaps it is selective prosecution but imagin if Dr Khir did this , would not we all find this wrong however morally justified it seems?
YAng salah tetap salah. Lets be objective here . I am all for PR but I will not and cannot support PR when they make mistake. I have been arguing with UMNO guys who seems to believe ” better the devil u know than the devil u dont”. I wish i can say its not the devil between devils. its new goodness against old evil. If we have to agree with my UMNO friend , than its dooms day for malaysia.
( sorry nathaniel, just a lil fed up with excessive politciking in Malaysia)
nat: no worries. i have amended the post a bit towards the end. you reminded me to add something i had forgot to. tx!
Shocking! shocking! shocking!
How low can they go! Stand up for Tan Sri Khalid.
Pakatan must not allow this and the people who put Pakatan in power should stand up against all these dirty/ponographic tactics
I think almost all of us are spoiled human being.
We are the product of a spoiled system in Malaysia.
MACC is a spoiled system because it has been made by spoiled human.

A perfect man is not a good servant. A good man slight flawed is a perfect servant. He will do anything you want as long you have his you know what.

ANDREW DOWDELL, COURT REPORTER

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.

Singapore Pilot Fined A$12,000 Over Child Porn Import Bid
MELBOURNE, Feb 13 (Bernama) — A Singapore Airlines pilot has been fined A$12,000 for trying to bring child pornography into Australia, court documents showed.
A newspaper website reported that Ng Kok Yauw, 40, captained a Singapore Airlines flight last Saturday from the city-state to Adelaide and when Customs officials searched his laptop they found video clips of child pornography.
Ng, who appeared in court on Monday, pleaded guilty to charges of importing banned material and making a false statement to a Customs officer.
Singapore Airlines said the airline was conducting its own investigation. Seven video files were found on Ng’s computer, some of which contained footage of rape, sexual violence and children engaged in sexual activity, the court documents said.
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 told “The Australian Online it was an 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 was quoted as saying.
The pilot was one of three men, including a Malaysian Airline pilot, caught last week by Custom officials for importing “offensive” pornography.

Now I know why this retarded bum from MACC Ahmad Said was so “efficient and fast” in condemning our fellow PKR MB Khalid. His balls must be squeezed by Mr.C4 and our infamous sleepy flipflop, lame duck guy.
Rakyat should boycott MAS as long as this MACC head similarly retarded son Shaugi is not kick out from his job as a pilot.
It is amazing there was no follow up or prosecution on this Ahmad Shauqi. These bums thought that in time rakyat will forget his disgustful act. Not anymore. The rakyat especially PKR members must pursue this issue until this bum is charged. MACC, I puke when I heard of this. Worst than the former ACA. Another great reform by our sleepy, flipflop, lame duck outgoing bum.
“This is the Captain speaking, we’re thank you for flying with us eventhough you obviously knew I like young boys/girls. Hope you have a pleasant journey with us and oh… please send your kids to the back of the plane for Free Candies! This is the Captain signing out!”
Pilots are proffesionals just like doctors,engineers, and are supposed to maintain their standards and professionalism at all times.Why is this stupid clown got so involved with pornography ?With his top salary which he is earning,he can easily fuck around with all types of girls whenever he wants to instead of watching these silly porn pixs.What a dumb dumb and a bloody sakai.A real disgrace to MAS.Should not be in MAS and be thrown out of his job asap.
Ahh. Nice one Nat. *bumps fist*
Ahmad Said must resign. Its only the moral thing to do.

Dear Datuk,
Hope you are well .
Just to inform you that the Malaysian Airlines pilot recently convicted in Australia for possession of child pornography is a declared Malay, Muslim , AHMAD SHAUQI BIN AHMAD SAID, staff number 1086993 and is non other than the son of the Director General of the Anti- Corruption Agency of Malaysia , DATUK SERI PANGLIMA HAJI AHMAD SAID BIN HAMDAN who has himself come to a CORRUPT agreement with IDRIS JALA , the Managing Director and others in Malaysia Airlines , ‘ not to take disciplinarry action as required in the company policy ‘ against his son for his criminal conviction.
I will be forwarding this information worldwide to educate them on the state of affairs in Malaysia and they can evaluate for themselves the Government’s declarations of truth , cleanliness, transparency, Islam Had etc. Drugs was one thing but sometimes , this child porn strikes different cords !!!!! Who cares about technicalities ?
I guess god is helping me to punish the criminals who have tried to destroy me and my family for being professional. God must also realise that I was also injured for being INDIAN in MALAYSIA .
Thank you
Captain Reinu Balakrishnan
I looked up Reinu Balakrishnan and found some info on him. There appears to be some history between him and MAS. You can see them here: 1 2 3 4 5 6

The worms are certainly coming out of the woodwork! This is a very well kept secret and I am sure the public will be very surprised to know of Ahmad/Shauqi connection. For certain I am surprised to learn of this. Just for this reason the MACC head’s credibility is in doubt.
I don’t know whether abducted Nurin and Sharlinie were forced upon by child porn sickos or not, but it reminds us of the many lost children in Malaysia. If the son is a sicko then the father is to be blamed. You can’t guide your own family, you can’t guide nothing. Better for Ahmad Said to resign and get the hell lost.
I am very surprised why out Toyol is so quiet now. I thought he will be the first person to call Ahmad Said to resign. Is his balls be sqeeze also or his he enjoying the video. Very surprise to see him so quiet.
Ai yoih, this is bolih land lah, why make so much noise? To all these people, anything also bolih lah. People like you and me, by now already mampus lah. Lu siapa lah.
Dear Pakatan Rakyat,
Child pornography is not a joke, nor a private matter; it is a very serious and heinous SEXUAL CRIME, AND FALL UNDER CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. Children in Malaysia are increasingly being targeted by perverted pornographic syndicates or individual rapists, local and foreign, where they are kidnapped, raped and abused, and probably used and tortured in such pornographic videos. So far, increasing cases of this vile crime have gone unresolved due to the inefficiency of the police force and the non-fear attitude of criminals towards what-they-see as corrupted Malaysian police force! So, please make a police report against this man so that he can be investigated, and if he is really the son of that DG of MACC, and his father is involved in some kind of corruption deal to protect his son, this must be exposed. This is about national security, for the safety our increasingly vulnerable children in Malaysia. Besides, this sexual pervert despite that he’s a pilot or some VIP’s son, should not be allowed to work for a national airline company such as MAS anymore, if he was found guilty by the Australian court! And his father should also be convicted if found out to be implicated in such corruption deal to protect his sexual criminal son! And this pilot should also serve the sentence in Malaysia later on. If not, PR will be seen to treat sexual crime towards children as a joke, like the BN!

his son is innocent coz his father is the MACC chief?
i feel sorry for his son coz if not for his father, his name would not have cropped up in the blogsphere.no, he was wrong but then everybody has made mistakes in their life. Go on son, forget about the past but never never again possess child porno.
Good luck in your future undertakings, son.
I too apologise for posting unwarranted remarks about him just because of his father.
@ aca “his son is innocent coz his father is the MACC chief?i feel sorry for his son coz if not for his father, his name would not have cropped up in the blogsphere.no, he was wrong but then everybody has made mistakes in their life.

aca, so child pornography means nothing to you is it, despite that it is SEXUAL CRIME TOWARDS CHILDREN? You feel sorry for the criminals but not for the victims? No, this would have been exposed anyway, because sexual criminal perverts should no more be tolerated in Malaysia, especially when it’s towards children? So go on PKR leaders, show what true leaders you are, who love justice, especially for defenseless women and children who are facing increasing sexual crimes in Malaysia. Compared to these child-sexual criminal lovers; please bring these monsters to justice, regardless whether they are VIP’s sons!

All these boils back to corruption. Wrong doings happen, but with law enforced, things can be corrected, but then corruption is infesting in Malaysia, Most of the authorities are very corrupted, we don’t know whether the Govt knows or not. My suggestion, hold the H.O.Ds responsible, penalize them together with the convicted, because it happens below their nose, then what are they doing, isn’t it their job to educate and monitor their subordinates, then why do you call it rank & file? Let us all do our job faithfully. Make this country a heavenly place to live. Hello HODs, You’re the head, watch your tails please, your negligence may cost your future.
