Jayanthi said she ‘vividly remembers’ how Lingam dictated a draft judgment from some handwritten notes while another staff J Sumanti typed it out.

"Lingam then corrected the pages with red ink. Sumanti then did the corrections and made a copy of the said judgment in a floppy disk that was to be given to Mokhtar Sidin.

"I later discovered the judgment written by Lingam was fully incorporated as the official judgment by the said judge," she said.

She stressed that Lingam was assisted by his brother V Sivaparanjothi, lawyer Adam Bachek and former Industrial Court chairperson W Satchithanandan that night.

In 1998 Anti-Corruption Agency informed Jayathi that corruption investigation concerning Lingam was closed because ‘too many high profile officials were involved’. It is also told that she was given RM3000.00 by the ACA which she had accepted but could not tell the court why the money was given to her.

Malaysiakini today reports that GN Jayathi, 45, the former secretary of V.K Lingam made some explosive revelations against her ex-boss at the RCI.

Between November and December 1994, Jayathi revealed that she had stayed until 3am in Lingam's office to draft a judgement dictated by Lingam.

The said judgement was read in a High Court defamation suit against a famous journalist.

The judgment eventually became the landmark decision read by High Court judge Mokhtar Sidin in the Vincent Tan’s defamaion suit against veteran journalist MGG Pillai.

She also revealed that:

• The Anti-Corruption Agency had informed her in 1998 that the corruption case against Lingam was closed because ‘too many high profile officials are involved’. She was also given RM3000 by ACA which she accepted.

• She met former Industrial Court chairperson W Satchithanandan in Penang and he asked why Lingam recommended former High Court judge KL Rekhraj as a judicial commissioner and not him (Satchithanandan).

• She singlehandedly handled the entire itinerary of the New Zealand trip for Lingam and former Chief Justice Eusoff Chin in Dec 1994.

Wonder if this will be another 'bullshit' and bragging according to V.K Lingam? Let's wait and see!

ciao!
