Excerpts:
Veteran journalist A Kadir Jasin has penned a poem in response to Ahmad Maslan’s poetic defence against the charges of failing to declare RM2 million which he received from former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) and providing a false statement to MACC.
The Umno lawmaker had recited the poem, which described him as a “victim of tyranny”, before entering the chambers of the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court yesterday.

Below is the Bahasa Malaysia poem penned by Kadir:
Panglima berani usah gelabah
Belum dibicara, belum salah
Kalau tuan tidak buat jenayah
Penguasa zalim tentu kalah.
Dulu tuan sangatlah berani
Cakap besar satu negeri
Mangaku duit Najib yang bagi
Sebab tuan amat dipercayai.
Tuan sombong bukan kepalang
Cakap besar macam hulubalang
Semua musuh tuan ganyang
Pertahan Najib malam dan siang.
Tuan jawablah kepada mahkamah
Seandainya tuan tidak bersalah
Janganlah tuan berhati gundah
Segala tuduhan berjaya disanggah.
Tapi kalau tuan buat jenayah
Duit rakyat tuan belasah
Silalah tuan cari helah
Andai tidak ke penjaralah arah.
Jika takdir tuan masuk penjara
Jangan gundah, janganlah hiba
Kepakaran tuan amat berharga
Tuan masak, banduan semua gembira.
Selamat tuan membela diri
Pandai bertabuh pandailah menari
Jangan salahkan kepada bumi
Kalau rentak tidak menjadi.
