ASP Mohd Azizie also tried to explain the extraordinary 54 days of leave taken by
Saiful Bahari, that this included weekends and that he gave him leave beyond his
en�tlement because Saiful Bahari had requested for it! However, no other

and ASP Mohd Azizie's Schedule of Leave were produced during the Public
Inquiry. The purported explana�on by ASP Mohd Azizie was not a sa�sfactory
explana�on.

professionally done “tidak ada bukti-bukti nyata ianya dilakukan oleh kumpulan
terlatih yang mana boleh dikaitkan dengan PDRM khususnya Cawangan Khas.
Faktor-Faktor aktiviti Pastor Raymond Koh Keng Joo sendiri yang memungkinkan
