Loh Gwo Burne had secretly recorded VK Lingam’s conversation

It looks like me, it sounds like me, but it is not me, then who is the person in the video clip?

Loh Gwo Burne, 34, was identified by his father, businessman Loh Mui Fah, and last week as the person who had secretly recorded lawyer VK Lingam’s conversation with then chief judge of Malaya Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim.

Gwo Burne said he had the camera with him to take photos of the dinner and house, as Lingam had given him prior permission to do so.

He confirmed that the two photos shown to the commission last week were taken by him - one shows Lingam, the lawyer's younger sister and Mui Fah, while the other shows Lingam, Mui Fah and another lawyer, the late Manjit Singh.

Loh Gwo Burne said he was trying to take a picture of a vase when he realized his digital camera was on video mode. “I then continued to record the conversation between Datuk V.K. Lingam and the other person on the other line.”

Lingam said: “Irrespective of what others have said, it looks like me, it sounds like me.”

Although Loh Gwo Burne confirmed that he had recorded it with a high-end camera and also identified lawyer Lingam as the person in the footage. But Lingam denied it and said Irrespective of what others have said, it looks like me, it sounds like me.

It is interesting, not like former Health Minister Dr Chua Soi Lek openly admitted that he is the one featured in a video depicting a man having sex with a woman purportedly in a hotel room.

That is the different between lawyer and Doctor as lawyer knew very well that honesty does not always pay, so by denying, what you can do? Proof it or else you will be in trouble.

If admitting it, the consequences is unthinkable, Dr Chua is a good example, he had to quit politics altogether by relinquishing all his party and government posts with immediate effect.

Oh, Lingam, Lingam, it looks like you, it sounds like you, but it is not you. Dr Chua Soi Lek should also say: It looks like me, it sounds like me, but it is not me. After all, in this world there are 7 persons look alike.
