Lingam tape report out today - minus thunder

sun2surf - The four-volume report by the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Lingam video clip goes on sale tomorrow afternoon - with the thunder of its content stolen by an information leak.

The report by the Commission of Enquiry on the "Video Clip Recording of the Images of a Person Purported to be an Advocate and Solicitor Speaking on the Telephone on Matters Regarding the Appointment of Judges", is made up of the main report (RM161.40), the notes of proceeding (RM123), statutory declaration (RM120) and exhibits (RM136.90).

The public may buy the report from the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department in Putrajaya, from 2pm.

Last Friday (May 16), Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Zaid Ibrahim announced the cabinet decision to go public with the report, days after three newspapers had published the gist of its findings, quoting excerpts of the comments and recommendations.

The report, in a nutshell, found that the video clip recording of lawyer Datuk V.K. Lingam talking on his handphone with a "Datuk" on appointment of judges is authentic and recommended appropriate action against individuals identified and said to have committed certain offences.
