Operation Aldhulih, Operation Alqamashia and Attorney General Lucien Wong (Again?!)

Operation Aldhulih

As mentioned in our previous post, the key Muslim far-right individuals involved in Operation Awarah are:

• Zulfikar bin Mohamad Shariff ('Zulfikar')
• Associate Professor Syed Muhammad bin Khairudin Aljunied ('Prof Khairudin Aljunied')
• Workers' Party Member of Parliament Muhamad Faisal bin Abdul Manap ('WP MP Faisal Manap')
• People's Action Party Minister of State for Home Affairs and National Development Muhammad Faishal bin Ibrahim Khan Surattee ('MOS Faishal Ibrahim')

We understand that they promptly learnt of our expose soon after its publication on 21 July 2023. We understand that Operation Awarah has since been postponed, out of fear that protests calling for the safety of said LGBTQ Muslim victim start emerging, similar to how #Safety4Harvey protests have been springing up around the world, such as in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Instead, the aforementioned Muslim far-right individuals have decided to embark on Operation Aldhulih, with the purpose of estimating, discerning and demolishing said LGBTQ Muslim victim's support base, before then resuming Operation Awarah.

Prof Khairudin Aljunied is taking charge of Operation Aldhulih and has begun making enquiries around, beginning with organizations in and across related higher education institutions. Prof Khairudin Aljunied is trying to gather information on several leaders in some of these networks that said LGBTQ Muslim victim was or is involved in, in order to discredit and/or compromise them. The reasoning behind this is that the Muslim far-right involved in Operation Aldhulih do not want to directly attack said LGBTQ Muslim victim while a large support base remains. The support base needs to be weakened or eliminated first so that said LGBTQ Muslim victim will be isolated and especially vulnerable for attack. Prof Khairudin Aljunied has described this as "draining the swamp surrounding [said LGBTQ Muslim victim]" (quote is nonverbatim).

While it is temporarily on hold as Operation Aldhulih needs to first be executed, Operation Awarah has expanded its territorial scope to involve counterparts in Malaysia. This is in case said LGBTQ Muslim victim decides to enter Malaysia at any point in the foreseeable future, as fixing said victim up in Malaysia would be easier and quicker than doing so in Singapore, because the Muslim far-right has significantly greater influence, authority and resources in Malaysia compared to Singapore. The aforementioned Muslim far-right individuals are working with:

1. The political party, the Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS, or also known as the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, or the Malaysian Islamic Party)
2. The federal government agency that deals with Islamic matters, JAKIM (or also known as the Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia, or the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia)
3. The Ministry of Home Affairs in Malaysia (or also known as the Kementerian Dalam Negeri, or KDN, or MOHA)

This Operation Awarah Malaysia counterpart collaboration is looking to fix said LGBTQ Muslim victim up for a Sharia offence or its secular equivalent.

Operation Alqamashia

We further understand that the Muslim far-right in Singapore (particularly Prof Khairudin Aljunied) has been running yet another operation, Operation Alqamashia, against Vickreman Harvey Chettiar, as a complement to Operation Awarah. Knowing that Harvey supports the anti-death penalty cause, under Operation Alqamashia, Prof Khairudin Aljunied has recently hired an unidentified intermediary, who in turn hired a mercenary to spray-paint, at around 2:30am on 8 August 2023, the wall of the underpass connected to Exit A of Buona Vista MRT station, with an anti-death penalty message. Operation Alqamashia is designed to frame Harvey for this on the basis that this spray-paint incident "can only realistically link back to Harvey". We understand that Clementi Police Division has already both ruled out other suspects and established that Harvey does not appear on any police camera footage anywhere else during that whole time and thus is believed to not have any alibi.

Harvey was in fact asleep at the material time, and was in the physical company of two other persons who can directly attest to that, one of whom is her bailor. It appears that this is unknown to both Clementi Police Division and Prof Khairudin Aljunied.

As reported in a Channel News Asia article, 'Graffiti found on wall of Buona Vista MRT underpass; police investigations ongoing':

We understand that the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) Crime Division's Team 15 has already prepared a charge sheet and passed it to an Investigating Officer (IO) at Clementi Police Division to serve on Harvey. However, because vandalism is an arrestable offence, Clementi Police Division is waiting to catch Harvey at her next attendance at court. The police intend to arrest Harvey after her next Pre-Trial Conference (PTC) scheduled for 11 August 2023. They intend to serve the charge sheet and take Harvey's Cautioned Statement during the ≤48 hours that Harvey is in custody, and then produce her in State Court 4B for arraignment on 12 August 2023 while in custody. The AGC and Clementi Police Division do not want a repeat of 3 May 2023 (Harvey's police interrogation, where a sizeable number of people had turned up at Jurong Police Division Headquarters to accompany Harvey for moral support) and 5 May 2023 (Harvey's arraignment at court, where a #Safety4Harvey protest took place ahead of the arraignment).

They want Harvey's arrest, interrogation and arraignment to go largely unnoticed this time – except for mainstream media coverage of the matter, which they alone can regulate.

The AGC Crime Division's Team 15 has been given instructions by Attorney General (AG) Lucien Wong to apply upon Harvey's arraignment for her remand under CPC § 238(3) for one week to Clementi Police Division for Harvey's assistance with investigations, in the event that Harvey refuses in her Cautioned Statement to admit to the offence.

The AGC Crime Division's Team 15's position is to apply for revocation of bail, on the basis that even Condition J (which effectively disallows Harvey from accessing social media) of the bail granted on 12 May 2023 has failed in restraining Harvey from committing further crimes while on bail. The argument is that Harvey has demonstrated an escalation in her offending conduct, resorting to the vandalism of public property that is connected directly to Singapore's public transportation system (i.e. the wall of the underpass connected to Exit A of Buona Vista MRT station). Based on this argument, it would be "extremely remiss" for the Court to release Harvey on bail again, as she is a "menace" to society.

In the unlikely event that the AGC Crime Division's Team 15's application for the denial of fresh bail in a higher quantum fails, as a contingency, they have instructions from AG Lucien Wong to apply for the bail quantum to be at least $20,000, and for the bail conditions to include electronic tagging (which is the AGC's legal entitlement under the CPC § 94(4)) to monitor Harvey's whereabouts.

Once again: Harvey was in fact asleep at the material time of the spray-painted graffiti incident, and was in the physical company of two other persons who can directly attest to that, one of whom is her bailor. It appears that this remains unknown to both Clementi Police Division and Prof Khairudin Aljunied.
