Statutory Declaration by Charles

Suresh Morais
Nov 27, 2015

I, Charles Suresh Morais (NRIC No.620427-10-5707), a Malaysian citizen of full

age and residing at 4789 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Suite A 137, Atlanta, Georgia
3038, USA do hereby solemnly and sincerely declare and state as follows:

1. I am one of four siblings and the younger brother of Anthony Kevin Morais
(Kevin), now deceased. My other brothers are David Ramesh Morais (David)
and Richard Dilaan Morais (Richard). They are both younger than me. I have no
sisters.

2. All four siblings were born in Kuala Lumpur. My father was the Deputy Director
(Licensing) RTM. When I was about 10 years old my father was posted to Ipoh
and so the whole family moved there. My mother and father lived in Ipoh until
they passed away. Before my fathers posting to Ipoh, he had been transferred to
Kluang and Malacca for 3 year stints each.

3. I attended the Anderson School in Ipoh until I finished Form 5. After that I was
sent to India to do a pre-university course at the Christ College Bangalore. After
completing my pre-university course, I attended the University of South Alabama,
USA, to pursue a degree in computer Science and Business Management. That
was in 1984. I have remained in the USA since.

4. I am now a successful businessman in Hotel investments in the USA and also

in IT. I live in Atlanta, USA, and I have one son. I am divorced from my wife.

5. I have always been very close to Kevin, more so than Richard and David. I
used to return to Ipoh from time to time from the USA to visit my parents and
Kevin. Richard and David lived in Kuala Lumpur. Kevin started off as a
Magistrate in Sungai Siput in the 1980s after he had completed his chambering
with a firm of solicitors in Ipoh.

6. Kevin was promoted from a Magistrate to the Registrar of the Ipoh High Court
where he remained until about the year 2000, after my mother passed away. He
was then transferred to Kuala Lumpur as the Deputy Registrar of the Kuala
Lumpur High Court, I believe. My father had passed away in 1990. Kevin stayed
with my mother whilst he was in Perak.

7. I used to communicate with Kevin very often by phone and email. He used to
confide in me as he felt closer to me than my other brothers.

1
8. Kevin had studied law in London at the Holborn Law Tutors in the early 1980s.
For a while he lived with our cousin, Kenneth Shankar (aka Jamie), who was a
businessman there. After that he shared an apartment with a couple of my other
cousins.

9. Kevin often used to visit one of my other distant relatives, Helen Lobo, who
was a nurse working in London and who had a family there. Helen looked after
Kevins welfare and even paid some of his tuition and living expenses. Helen was
from Kluang. She was a student at the convent in Kluang and my mother was her
teacher in Form 5. Because Helen came from a large family in cramped living
conditions, my mother took her into our home when we lived in Kluang.

10. Helen had a younger brother called Jibby. He lives in New Zealand now. I
knew Jibby very well. He was about 2 years older than Kevin. He also used to
stay with us in Kluang and used to babysit us when we were in primary school.
Kevin and I were very close to both Helen and Jibby. They used to visit us often
after we moved to Malacca and Ipoh. We considered them part of our family.

11. When Kevin was a Magistrate in Sungai Siput, Richard was arrested a couple
of times for gang related activities. My mother had to bail him out. Richard was
even arrested in Kuala Lumpur after that for other criminal activities. My mother
kept all this from Kevin as she was worried he would become angry if he knew
what Richard had been getting up to.

12. Sometime after that, my mother discovered that Richard had borrowed
money from one of her friends in Ipoh to fund his trip to Hong Kong where he
said he wanted to take music lessons. Unfortunately Richard did not take up
music lessons but worked in a hotel in Hong Kong instead. He got married to a
Philippina girl but got into trouble again and was deported after being arrested,
charged and jailed. My mother had to pay to secure his release from the police.
Richard is prohibited from returning to Hong Kong by the authorities there. This
occurred in about 2004.

13. I told Kevin what Richard had been up to after his return from Hong Kong. He
was very angry and distanced himself from Richard. Kevin had never spoken to
Richard since 2004 up until his demise in September 2015.

14. Richard thereafter set up a business in Kuala Lumpur selling pianos in Bukit
Bintang and Ampang. He got into financial trouble constantly and had asked me
to bail him out twice, which I did. Richard has unfortunately become associated
with underworld characters in Kuala Lumpur and has become involved in criminal
activities. He constantly borrows money from people I know and does not repay
these loans. The police have arrested him a number of times for a variety of
allegations ranging from criminal intimidation to sexual misconduct.

2
15. Sometime in September 2013, I was in Atlanta at a dinner function when I
received a call from Kevin who was very distraught. Kevin told me that he had
received a telephone call from the police informing him the IGP wanted to see
him the next day. Kevin at this stage was a DPP with the MACC or AGs
Chambers. He was told that Richard had been seen leaving the scene of the
Najadi murder at Bukit Ceylon in July 2013 and the IGP wanted to know what
Kevin knew about this. Kevin informed the IGP that he had not been in contact
with Richard since 2004 and knew nothing of this.

16. At the same time Kevin had disassociated himself from Richard in 2004, he
did the same with David. This was because David and Kevin had a confrontation
over some personal issue which led to their estrangement. Therefore Kevin had
not communicated with both Richard and David from 2004 until his demise in
September 2015.

17. From 2004 until 2015, the only sibling Kevin communicated with was me. We
became very close during this period, having lost both our parents and being
isolated from Richard and David.

18. For 2 years prior to his death, Kevin used to phone me in the USA at least 2-
3 times a month and we used to correspond by email constantly. He used to
share his work issues with me and his trips to London and other places. He also
discussed current cases he was handling and the problems he was facing in
prosecuting some of them.

19. About 5 months before his demise, Kevin told me he was retiring from
Government Service and wanted to move to London, spending 6 months there
and 6 months in Malaysia. His intention was to teach or consult. He had been
bequeathed an apartment in London and so he had a permanent residence
there.

20. Kevin was in the habit of keeping me informed every time he travelled
overseas and when he returned to Malaysia. This was by email and by phone.
He insisted I knew his whereabouts at all times.

21. I was concerned that Kevin was a defendant in a civil suit brought against
him by a lawyer known as Rosli Dahlan. I was worried he would not be able to
afford to pay for good legal representation and I had offered to pay this for him.
He declined my offer as he said the Attorney General and he had good legal
representation already and not to waste my money.

22. Two to three months before Kevins demise, he told me that he was working
on a case involving The Prime Minister and his wife. He said the Prime Minister
was a terrible guy but that his wife was worse. He actually used the words kolata
ala. These were Malayalam words and translated into English mean a person

3
up to no good. He told me his phone might be tapped and to be careful what I
said. That is why half of our conversations were usually in Malayalam.

23. In early August 2015, Kevin went to London. He told me he was going to
renovate the apartment he had been bequeathed, situated in Bromley, Kent. He
was there from the 3rd August to the 15th August. He told me he had to get out of
Malaysia for a while because his second attempt to retire from the Government
Service had been rejected and he was feeling the pressure of the work he was
involved in at that time.

24. He emailed me when he got back from London after the 15th August with
photographs of the apartment. He then called me and asked me if I would come
back to Malaysia as soon as possible and kept telling me his phone was tapped.
He sounded very depressed. He said he would courier something to me and to
watch out for it as he wanted me to keep it in safe custody.

25. This was the last call I received from Kevin and was about a week before he
went missing.

26. On Saturday the 5th September, I received an email from a friend in Kuala
Lumpur informing me Kevin had been missing since the day before. I
immediately tried reaching the Attorney Generals Chambers in Putra Jaya and
was eventually referred to a Chinese lady who knew that Kevin and I were very
close. She had served in Ipoh as a Sessions Court Judge. Her name is Alice
Loke. She told me that everyone was looking for Kevin.

27. I then called Tan Sri Gani Patail on his mobile phone, (which I had obtained
from a reporter). He reassured me that they were looking for Kevin and that they
would find him. Tan Sri Gani Patail sent me an sms after that which read thank
you very much, I will ensure that the authorities will keep you posted. This was
on the 7th September 2015. This sms is still stored in my mobile phone.

28. As I had not received an update, I sent Tan Sri Gani Patail another sms on
the 12th and 13th September 2015 pleading with him for his help to find Kevin and
he responded on the 13th saying please remain calm, I am not working there
anymore. What I have been told is that the police are working relentlessly on the
matter.

29. I responded in an sms I understand you are not working there. Unfortunately
I have minimum confidence in the police. 4 days before they checked the CCTV
cameras. However I thank you for responding. I wont trouble you anymore.

30. When I first sent the sms to Tan Sri Gani Patail, I had no idea he had been
dismissed as the Attorney General. I only realized this later.

4
31. When I heard that Kevins body had been found on the 16 September 2015, I
booked a flight from Atlanta to New York and then to Singapore, arriving on or
about the 23rd September. I was picked up from the Changi airport by family
members and driven straight to the mortuary at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

32. I met David and Richard at the mortuary. They had arranged the funeral at
the Nirvana Memorial Centre and had a car and a hearse ready. I met with the
two Malay lady pathologists who informed me they were the ones who conducted
the post mortem on Kevins body with a Chinese man who said he was the Head
of the Pathology Department. They told me to go ahead and claim the body but
that the cause of death was as yet unknown. I refused to claim the body as I
needed to know the cause of death.

33. Richard did not agree with me and wanted to leave with Kevins body
immediately and proceeded to make a fuss. Inspector Zikri from the Sentul Police
Station, who was at the mortuary, told Richard to calm down because he was
getting mad that I wasnt claiming the body. I then suspected something fishy
was going on with Richard. David was there but he didnt offer any objections to
my refusal to claim the body.

34. Eventually we all left for the Nirvana Memorial Centre as the funeral
arrangements had been set up there for the next few days. Kevins body
remained in the mortuary at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

35. I had not seen Richard for about 14 years prior to seeing him at the mortuary
that day. Neither had Kevin. I was therefore surprised that Richard was
apparently behaving as if he was very close to Kevin and was portraying a very
unusual concern to expedite the funeral and cremation of Kevins remains.

36. We eventually conducted funeral rights for Kevin and held Mass for him at a
Church in Shah Alam. Many people paid their respects and the Solicitor General
gave her eulogy.

37. Unfortunately the funeral was marred by the bad behaviour of Richard when
he claimed that he was entitled to the money in the donation box. David tried to
stop him taking it and a fight ensued between them in front of at least 100
people. I in fact had to break up the fight myself. This was witnessed by
numerous people including the owner of the Nirvana Memorial Centre himself,
Dato Freddy.

38. I was paid for the balance due for the funeral arrangements as both Richard
and David were not in a financial position to do so. My cousin Jamie from London
had already paid the initial bill.

39. After the funeral service, I began to investigate a report I had come across
briefly, which had been posted by Clare Rewcastle-Brown (who is responsible for

5
the Sarawak Report website). This report appeared on the 30th July 2015. Two
draft criminal charge sheets had been attached to this report. After having looked
at these draft charge sheets once again, I noticed that one of them was amended
and initialled. After studying that particular draft charge sheet in detail, I noticed
that the initial next to the amendment made was that of my brother, Kevin. I am
familiar with his signature and his initials.

Annexed hereto as TAB-1 is a copy of the Draft Charge Sheet with Kevins
initial.

40. I therefore contacted Clare Rewcastle by phone and enquired as to where

she obtained these charge sheets. She informed me they had been sent to her
via email, anonymously on the 29th July 2015. I asked her for that anonymous
email and she obliged by forwarding the same to me.

Annexed hereto as TAB-2 is the email dated 29.07.2015 forwarded to me by

Clare Rewcastle.

41. Upon closer scrutiny of that email, I noticed the senders email address as
jibby@anonymousspeech.com. I have checked with this server to find out
details of the owner of this address but this is blocked due to anonymity provided
by the server as far as its users are concerned.

42. I am convinced by the circumstances narrated above that this email came
from Kevin for 5 reasons:

i. The use of the name jibby as this is the name of our old babysitter as
explained above, and the details of the contents of the email in making reference
to the removal of Gani Patail as the Attorney General two days prior to the date
of this email.

ii. Kevin was working directly under the Attorney General at that time and would
have been privy to the type of information as appear in the draft charge sheets.

iii. Kevin had told me he was working on matters connected to the Prime
Minister.

iv. Another special task force personnel from the Attorney Generals chambers,
one Jessica Gurmeet Kaur, who was apparently also working on various financial
scandals with Kevin at the same time, was arrested on the 31st July 2015. Kevin
had mentioned he was working with her during some of the phone calls he made
to me but that her portfolio was in respect of corruption charges being
investigated against Rosmah Mansor.

v. Kevins initials next to the amendment made on the charge sheet.

6
43. Clare Rewcastle informed me that she had received further emails from
jibby@ anonymousspeech.com subsequent to the 29th July 2015 but that she
had trouble locating them due to a server crash which has prevented access.
However, she recalls that some of the subsequent emails read as follows:

I had been in Britain for a long time and I know how things work there

Clare I will try my best to get the documents out of the country. We have another
meeting tomorrow. Police aggressive in finding sources of leak.

44. Clare also told me that in other emails received, she recalled the sender used
words such as No shit Sherlock and Blardy. These were words Kevin used all
the time.

45. In view of the suspicious circumstances surrounding the abduction of Kevin, I

felt it imperative that a second post mortem be conducted on his body.

46. I therefore instructed my lawyer, Americk Sidhu, to write to all concerned

parties informing them of my wish and that in the interim, Kevins body was to be
preserved at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur mortuary.

47. I was present at the Kuala Lumpur Magistrates Court on the 28th September
2015 when the charges against the persons accused of murdering Kevin were
read out. Present at Court were Manoj Kurup for the prosecution with Dato Abdul
Razak. My lawyer Americk Sidhu appeared as my watching brief. I was present
when Americk Sidhu asked Manoj Kurup whether the Attorney Generals
Chambers would have any objections to a second post mortem being carried out
on Kevins body. Manoj Kurup confirmed they would have no objections.

48. My lawyer then followed up with a letter to the AGs Chambers on the 7th
October 2015, confirming this.

Annexed hereto as TAB-3 is a copy of a letter written by my lawyers to the

AGs Department dated 07.10.2015.

49. On the 15th October 2015, my lawyers sent a letter to the Head of the
Department of Pathology, Hospital Kuala Lumpur asking for the post mortem
report and asking for consent to conduct a second post mortem on Kevins
remains. In the interim, an assurance was sought that Kevins body would be
preserved and kept in the mortuary.

Annexed hereto as TAB-4 is a copy of my lawyers letter to the Head of the

Pathology Department HKL dated 15.10.2015.

50. My lawyers received a reply to this letter on the 19th October 2015 asking that
we make this specific request to the Dato Pengarah Hospital Kuala Lumpur

7
instead, which my lawyers did on the 21st October 2015. No response has been
received to date.

Annexed hereto as TAB-5 is the letter from the Jabatan Patologi HKL dated
19.10.2015 and my lawyers reply dated 21.10.2015

51. In the meantime, Richard had intimated he was intending to claim Kevins
body and cremate it. It was for this reason I instructed my lawyers to write to
Richards lawyers giving them notice that their client was not to claim the body
pending the completion of a second autopsy. No response to this letter has been
received to date.

Annexed hereto as TAB-6 is my lawyers letter to Messrs Aru & Co dated

09.11.2015

52. I was then informed by the police (Inspector Zikri), that I was to attend the
Sentul Police Station at 10.00 a.m. on the 12th November 2015, on my own and
without my lawyer, for a meeting. I informed my lawyer, Americk Sidhu who
suggested he accompany me, which he did.

53. Present at this meeting were myself, my lawyer, Americk Sidhu, Richard, his
lawyers Dato Arumugam and Datin Freda Gonzales, David and his lawyer Sabry
Kassim, Dato Abdul Razak, Q.E. Chan, Muhammad Izzat Faudan and Ishak from
the Attorney Generals Chambers, Dr. Ahmad Hafzam Hasni and Dr. Nurliza bte
Abdullah from the Pathology Department of the Hospital Kuala Lumpur and ASP
Wan Abdullah Wan Said and Inspector Zikri from the Sentul Police Station.

54. Dr. Nurliza proceeded to inform all parties present that the results of the post-
mortem conducted by herself and Dr. Ahmad Harizat on the 16th September
2015 had confirmed that the Probable cause of death was due to
asphyxiation (suffocation) and that:

i. The post mortem report had not been released pending receipt of the DNA
results, the toxicology report and the histopathology report.

ii. That the body was in a moderate stage of decomposition.

iii. That the time of death had not been ascertained.

55. Dr. Nurliza proceeded to explain that the detailed post mortem report could
not be divulged as there was a case pending trial at the High Court. When my
lawyer requested a copy of the death certificate, Dr. Nurliza said this could not be
issued without a burial permit and the only way to get a burial permit was to claim
the body.

8
56. My lawyer then asked Dr. Nurliza whether it would be alright to keep Kevins
body in the HKL mortuary pending a second post mortem but she replied that it
was a Standard Operating Procedure of the Hospital that unless a body was
claimed in 2 weeks, it would be disposed of, which I found to be rather strange.

57. I got the impression Dr. Nurliza was pressuring us in removing Kevins body
from the HKL mortuary. She was very adamant.

58. I also found it strange that Dr. Nurliza was claiming to have performed the
autopsy on Kevins body but when I had attended the mortuary to claim Kevins
body on the 23rd September 2015, there were 2 Malay ladies and a Chinese man
who claimed they had actually performed the autopsy themselves. Dr. Nurliza
was not there.

59. My lawyer then asked Dato Abdul Razak of the Attorney Generals Chambers
whether we could be supplied with a copy of the post mortem report before the
next mention date of the charges brought against the accused in Court. Dato
Abdul Razak informed us that he would discuss this with the Attorney General
and revert to us.

60. My lawyer thereafter received a call from one Mabel Muttiah, the Special
Officer to the Attorney General, inviting my lawyer and I to attend the Attorney
Generals Office at 11.30 a.m. on the 17th November 2015 to sight the post
mortem report only, which we did.

61. At this meeting Dato Abdul Razak informed us that if we wanted a second
post mortem conducted on Kevins remains, it was a Standard Operating
Procedure of the Attorney Generals Chambers that we were to make a formal
application to Court for the relevant Order, but the that AGC would have no
objections.

62. My lawyer thereafter prepared an Originating Summons and an affidavit-in-

support which I duly affirmed and had attested on the 23rd November 2015. My
lawyer filed the same in Court immediately.

Annexed hereto as TAB-7 is the sealed copy of the Originating Summons

and Affidavit-in-Support filed on the 23.11.2015.

63. My lawyer had also been in touch with the Victorian Institute of Forensic
Medicine in Melbourne, Australia and received confirmation that a Professor
Stephen Cordner was prepared to fly to Kuala Lumpur to perform a second post
mortem on Kevins remains.

64. However, I received information in the evening of the 23rd November 2015
that Richard had claimed Kevins body at 11.30 a.m. that very same day and had
removed it from the HKL mortuary.

9
Annexed hereto as TAB-8 is a copy of a police report lodged by Richard
and dated 23.11.2015

65. I have reason to believe that Richard has been instigated by certain
personalities to claim and dispose of Kevins body before a second post mortem
could be conducted. I have evidence in the form of an sms received by my
brother David from an officer at the Attorney Generals Chambers which was sent
to David on or about the 15th November 2015 and which reads as follows:

Dearest darling Bro David. Just received message from Bro Richard. He wants
to remove Kevs remain and give a decent burial if time permits tomorrow. He
asked me to find out from you if you would join him in getting the remains of Kev
fr the mortuary. Thank you.

66. The contents of the above sms appear to indicate that there was a
conspiracy to dispose of Kevins remains without my knowledge as no mention of
my name has been made in that message.

67. This is despite the numerous letters, meetings and requests made to all
concerned parties that I was intent on having a second post mortem done. This
was common knowledge at the AGC and an understanding between us had been
reached, with the filing of an application to Court as agreed. It is therefore very
surprising that an officer of that same department appears to be trying to
circumvent this understanding by clandestine means.

68. I firmly believe that Richard has been approached by persons interested in
covering up the murder of my brother Kevin. He has been offered incentives to
claim Kevins remains and to cremate them post haste in order to destroy
evidence which a second post mortem may have revealed.

69. Richard is a crook by nature and therefore I would not put it past him to
accept a reward for doing this. He does not realize he has possibly committed an
offence under section 201 of the Penal Code for causing the disappearance of
evidence of an offence committed, to screen the actual offender (s), which is
punishable upon conviction with a sentence of up to 7 years in jail and a fine.

70. I am convinced that Kevin knew something was going to happen to him. I
could sense this from the conversations I had with him over the phone shortly
before he was abducted.

71. This perhaps explains why he felt it necessary to travel to London on the 3rd
August 2015 and whilst there, to see solicitors who drew up a Will for him dated
13th August 2015 in which he specifically bequeathed his apartment to a dear
friend of his. Why do this when it had always been his intention to retire to
London and live in that apartment?

10
72. I am in possession of a pen drive Kevin sent to me by courier before he died,
as I mentioned above. It is in safe custody in the USA with someone who has
instructions to release it publically should anything untoward happen to me for
swearing this statutory declaration. The contents of this pen drive clearly and
unequivocally reveal the investigations Kevin had been tasked with just before
his untimely death which implicate certain personalities who currently walk the
corridors of power in Malaysia.

73. I do not for one moment believe Kevin was killed because he was
prosecuting a Government Pathologist for corruption. This accused doctor is
intelligent enough to realize that getting rid of the DPP prosecuting his case will
not emasculate the charge he is facing for the simple reason there are many
other DPPs who would take over that prosecution.

74. Kevin was killed for other reasons and I believe these other motives were due
to the fact that he knew too much about the criminal acts of those high up in the
echelons of power in Malaysia and he needed to be silenced because of that.

75. I am very surprised that the authorities at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur and the
police appear to have been complicit in allowing Kevins body to be removed
from the mortuary by Richard when they were both fully aware that I wanted a
second post mortem to be conducted. I believe this clearly demonstrates mala
fides on their respective parts in their efforts to prevent this second post mortem
taking place.

And I solemnly make this declaration conscientiously believing the same to be

true and by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declarations Act 1960

Subscribed and solemnly declared by )
