--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
一、 事件概述
马来西亚反贪污委员会(MACC)公布了一系列音频记录,其内容涉及前总理纳吉布·拉扎克及其他高级官员。反贪会首席专员拉蒂法·科雅(Latheefa Koya)主持了此次信息发布。这一举动立即引发了法律和政治层面的强烈反响,尤其是在纳吉布本人正因与一马发展有限公司(1MDB)相关的腐败案接受审判的背景下。
二、 主要相关方的回应与立场
纳吉布·拉扎克(Datuk Seri Najib Razak)的回应
1. 初步反应与法律考量
- 震惊与史无前例:纳吉布在高等法院外对反贪会的行为表示震惊,并称“这在历史上是第一次发生”。
- 法律行动:他表示将研究录音内容,并已将此事交由其律师处理。由于录音似乎源于对其电话的窃听,他正在探讨采取法律行动的可能性。
- 立场模糊:纳吉布既未确认也未否认录音中对话的真实性。
2. 对时机和合法性的质疑
- 政治动机:纳吉布质疑录音发布的时机,暗示其可能与金马利斯(Kimanis)补选有关。他问道:“其动机是什么……是否与金马利斯补选有关?”
- 窃听合法性:他提出严重关切,质疑是否有任何一方有权窃听一位总理的电话,尤其是其与他国元首的通话。他警告称,此举将影响马来西亚与其他国家的外交关系和国家利益。
- 追究责任:纳吉布声称他知道哪个机构有能力进行窃听,但无法透露。他强调,核心问题在于“这些窃听行为是否遵循了程序”,并表示:“如果是非法的,那么他们必须为此负责。”
3. 关于与妻子的对话
- 隐私权:纳吉布对录音中他与妻子罗斯玛·曼梳的对话不以为然,称“与我妻子的对话是私密的”,并强调“只要不向公众披露,每个公民都有权(与配偶)讨论任何事情”。
- 决策权:当被问及罗斯玛是否试图就政府事务向他提供建议时,纳吉布回应称,任何人都可以提出意见,但最终决定由他本人做出。他否认在录音中受到妻子的训斥。
辩护律师沙菲·阿都拉(Muhammad Shafee Abdullah)的指控
1. 妨害司法与藐视法庭
- 核心指控:作为纳吉布在一马公司相关审判中的首席辩护律师,沙菲指控反贪会公开发布录音的行为构成了妨害司法公正(subjudice)和藐视法庭。
- 法律行动威胁:他明确表示,辩护团队正在“认真考虑”对反贪会,特别是其首席专员拉蒂法·科雅,提起藐视法庭的诉讼。
2. 对程序正当性的批评
- 影响审判:沙菲质问反贪会的动机:“反贪会是否试图影响和妨害正在进行的审判?”
- 标准调查程序:他指出,在正常情况下,当发现所谓的证据后,应首先报警,然后进行保密的调查,而非公之于众。他强调:“调查本身是保密的。”
- 指控拉蒂法自相矛盾:沙菲指出,拉蒂法本人声称录音中前反贪会首席专员祖基菲里·阿末(Dzulkifli Ahmad)所讨论的内容是“官方机密”。沙菲反驳道:“她犯了同样的错误,因为这些事情仍有待调查。”
罗斯玛·曼梳(Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor)的回应
- 录音内容:在其中一段录音中,一个被认为是罗斯玛的女声说道:“Darling,你是总理。你应该掌控局面,而不是其他人……你身边都是一群傻瓜。”
- 公开表态:罗斯玛对该事件保持沉默(keeping mum)。
- 法律立场:在高等法院外被问及时,她仅表示:“我的律师会处理此事。”当被追问是否会起诉反贪会时,她未予确认。
Najib is shocked, Shafee cries contempt

KUALA LUMPUR: Wlule Datuk Seri Najib Razak 一 who has been implicated in MACCs exposure of audio recordings - expressed shock, his lawyer is calling for the graft busters to be held for contempt.
Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah alleged that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had committed subjudice and contempt of court by releasing recordings that implicated high-ranldng officials and the for mer prime minister to the public.
The lead defence counsel for Naj& in the ex-premiers ongoing corrup tion trials relating to IMalaysia Development Bhd (IMDB), said the defence was seriously contemplat-. ing a contempt action against MACC, particularly chief commissioner Latheefa Koya.
Releasing the tape now and dis cussing in public in a media release is in fact subjudice," he said. 'It is in fact contempt. Was the MACC trying to influence and subju- dice the ongoing trial?" he said.
Shafee said in normal circum stances, once a purported evidence had been discovered, a police report would be lodged. And this, he said, would lead to a confidential investi gation. aIt would not be released to the public. The investigation itself is confidential. “In fact, Latheefa herself said
Najib: *What is the motive ... does it have anything to do with the Kimanis by-election?> these were official secrets that for mer MACC chief Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad was apparentiy discussing (in the recording). “She is guilty of the same thing because these matters are still to be investigated," Shafee added.
He said by holding yesterda/s press conference, Latheefa had dis- dosed information and the police would now have to investigate something that was already in the public domain. <pThat itself is a very serious breach by herself;" he said.
Soon after MACC's revelation, Najib said outside the High Court that he was shocked at the anti-graft
commission^ action. t(l will look into what could be done legally. During that time, I was the head of government," he said. 叮his is the first this has happened lomatic ties and Malaysian interests m history;" he said. with other countries.
Najib, who was on the stand earli er at the SRC International trial, said he would study the content of the recordings and had referred the matter to his lawyer.
However, he did not confirm nor deny whether the conversations took place, adding that he would be looking into possible legal action as the recordings appeared to have bfeen derived from taps on his phone.
At a press conference later, Najib rubbished the notion that he was reprimanded by his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in the recordings. ''Conversations with my wife are private. It is every citizen's right to discuss anything (with their spouse) as long as it is not disclosed to pub- lic,” he said.
Asked whether Rosmah had tried to advise him on government maE ters, Najib said anyone could offer their opinions but it was he who would make the final decision.
The former premier also ques tioned the timing of the recordings, release. <fWhat is the motive... does it have anything to do with the Kimanis
by-election? I also wonder whether any party have the right to wire tap a PM, let alone his conversation with heads of states. This will impact dip 'These are the questions that must be answered promptly" he said.
Asked whether he knew which agency had the capabilities to con duct wire taps, Najib said he knew but could not disdose it. '"Whether these wire tappings fol lowed procedures, that is what we want to find out - whether it is illegal or legal. If its illegal, then they have to answer for it," Najib said.
Rosmah, who was also implicated in the recordings, is keeping mum on the matter. A woman purported to be her, was heard saying: "Darting, you are the prime minister. You should take charge, not anybody else ... and you got fools aroimd you."
Outside the High Court, she said: ^My lawyers will take care of it."
When asked whether she would be suing MACC, Rosmah said: f<I have nothing to say."
She was at the court over a cor ruption case involving a solar hybrid project in Sarawak.
