Sirul Azhar Umar: Migration agent assisting has MINDEF links



Adding to the mystery of Sirul Azhar Umar's advisers  is this photo of Robert Chelliah , his migration agent from Perth,taken in 2010.

Admiral (rtd) Tan Sri Mohd Anwar Mohd Noor is a former Chief Of Navy and Chief Of Armed Forces (CAF).  Rear-Admiral (rtd) Tan Sri K. Thanabalasingam was Malaysia's first Chief Of Navy and the others in the photo were all gathered to honour Robert's late brother  Pangadasaram Joe Chelliah a decorated member of the Malayan and Singapore  Navy's special forces. Robert was guest of honour at the event.



Others  present were Rear Admiral Datuk Danyal Balagopal Abdullah, First Admirals Datuk Nick Peterson, Datuk Abdul Aziz Mohd Dom and Datuk Noor Azman Othman, Brig-Gen Datuk Soon Lian Cheng from the Royal Malaysian Air Force, naval Captains Cheah Leong Voon, Dick Khoo Tee Chuan, Commander Ghiathuddin Zainal Abidin, and Lieutenant-Commanders Tan Siew Thye, Puah Bok Chuan, Syed Salim Osman, Chan Moon Fook, M. Velu and Phua Hean Sim, and Major Anthony Joseph Lim from the Army, who was the oldest at 80 (see also photos below).


Some , if not all of the above ,being senior military officers reporting to the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) , would have had contact with Prime Minister Najib Razak during the many years he served as Minister For Defence. The same can be said of contact with  Razak Baginda, Najib's adviser who was  co-accused with Sirul and another, but  the only one who was acquitted without  even his  defence being called.Baginda also headed a defence think tank.

Robert Chelliah's involvement in the matter of Sirul Azhar has always been curious given that he operates out of Perth,4000 km away from where Sirul  is detained at the Villawood Detention Centre near Sydney. Professional and social circles in Malaysia are small and it is often the case that everyone knows everyone. The circles tend to be even closer and long lasting within the defence forces and Robert it appears has gained an entree into those circles on the back of his brother's fame.

It is not improbable therefore that Robert might have been assigned the task of handling Sirul by any of the above named persons, and//or others acting for them, but ultimately under the direction of Najib or Razak Baginda.
One recalls that it was Robert who was most vocal in his insistence that Sirul not speak to media. That has since ensured that Sirul does not have the protection of a high media profile.

END
“Please do not simply shoot one’s mouth and damage Sirul’s impending resolution of his status,” migration expert Robert Chelliah from Australian Migration Agents said in an email directed at PAS.
“The proper way to say what he (Sirul) has to say is in consultation with his Australian barrister by a sworn affidavit that says nothing but the truth in detail,” he continued in the email that was also extended to Malay Mail Online.

Ben Robert-Smith : How was Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court able to find that the crime of murder has a civil twin, which can be determined on a balance of probabilities

 by Ganesh Sahathevam                                                                                                                  The Hon Justice Anthony Besanko Media reports about the Ben Robert-Smith defamation matter  have at least given the impression, if not asserted,  that Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court found  that Robert-Smith had committed murder. Most if not all reports have been at pains to stress that the finding was based on a balance of probabilities, and not beyond a reasonable doubt, for the matter was a civil and not criminal matter.  However,  reading his summary one can immediately see that Justice Besanko  found not that Roberts-Smith had committed murder but that the " respondents had, (on  a balance of probabilities) established the substantial truth"  that  Roberts-Smith had committed murder.  However, murder is a  crime and a finding of murder in a criminal court (which is the court in which crimes like murder can be determined!) inv

Who authorised former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to say anything about the Berejiklian era quarantine fee and why? Fuller's notice confirms suspicion that NSW Berejiklian government had no basis to impose the quarantine fee, nor quarantine persons who were COVID negative

 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Premier Gladys Berejiklian with NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and Brigadier Mick             Garraway Who authorised former  NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller  to say anything about the  Berejiklian era  quarantine fee and why? Fuller's issuance of his  COVID  quarantine notice, and subsequent silence, would seem to confirm suspicions raised on this blog that NSW's Berejiklian government had no basis to impose its quarantine fee. Fuller's conduct also adds to suspicion that the Berejiklian government did not have the authority, even under its COVID emergency powers, to quarantine persons who were COVID negative. International arrivals had to test negative for COVID before boarding their flights to Sydney, and tests had to be administered within 72 hours of departure. Quarantine on arrival of those who exhibited no COVID symptoms was quite likely unnecessary. It did, of course help bolster Gladys Berejiklian's approval ratings. TO BE RE

Revenue NSW COVID Quarantine Fee payment demand notices suggest that Police Commissioner Mick Fuller breached the law with his demand for quarantine fees

 By Ganesh Sahathevan  Anyone who has received a Revenue NSW Quarantine Fee demand for payment notice  will be familiar with these words that are contained in the notice: What is the quarantine service fee? A mandatory quarantine service fee applies to all travellers arriving in New South Wales (NSW) who are required to quarantine as part of the public health order. Mandatory quarantine is needed to stop the spread. of COVID-19 in NSW The qurantine fee has been charged pursuant to Section 70 of  the NSW Health Act. However, as previously reported, that section does not permit any imposition of mandatory fees.  However, in apparent defiance of Section 70 of the Health Act, Fuller issued a notice   in which he said  that Revenue NSW " will be charging a mandatory quarantine fee".
