does swearing makes you innocent? then the judiciary better close shop!!

earlier we see the ‘coffee boy’ slyfool… er… saiful… swearing upon a quran in a mosque and now look who’s swearing! our dear DPM, najis… er… najib…. he swears that he does not know altantuya at all and absolutely has no connection with her.

wait… worst is to come.

Meawnhile, Mongolia’s honorary consul in Malaysia, Datuk Syed Abdul Rahman Al-Habshi who also present, said: "Datuk Seri Najib’s swearing is true and it is accepted that he has no connection with Altantuya."

wow! like that one ah. so easy one eh. he swear, this syed abdul believe, aduh! of course lah because he is the DPM, not a famous blogger or a private investigator.

Syed Abdul Rahman said when the murder happened he was the first Malaysian who knew of it and he was also the first to go to Mongolia to go over Altantuya’s documents.

"Not one document, photograph or video involved Najib," he said.

ayoh! he called himself an honorary consul? so stupid! and think we are stupid! first of all, you don’t think altantuya’s family would have left any documents, photos, videos of najib lying around to let him find it while going through altantuya’s documents? secondly, let’s say he did find those docs, photos or video, he will reveal them?

guess what next? after protecting his beloved DPM, he, yes, you gues right…. attacked anwar!

Syed Abdul Rahman said Parti Keadilan Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia Today webmaster Raja Petra Kamaruddin and private investigator P Balasubramaniam had created a big lie.

"I regret they feel they know more about the case. Anwar lied that he met Altantuya’s father in Mongolia. At that time I knew Anwar was coming and took her father (Dr Shaarriibuu Setev) to Russia," he said.

"No one knows more than me and Anwar had lied with several accusations against Najib," Syed Abdul Rahman said.

He said the reason he was present at the function was to clarify the confusion as Anwar’s actions could affect the good relations between Malaysia and Mongolia and that he had been directed by Mongolia’s Prime Minister Sanjaa Bayar to assist.

"no one knows more than me….".  whoaa! ain’t that the truth or what!!! i would have said the person who knows more, the most is razak baginda!

well if syed abdul believed in najib and said RPK, bala, anwar lied… then he is also saying some other people lied….
like altantuya’s cousin who mentioned altantuya told her she had dinner with a high ranking official named ‘najib’.
or some foreign diplomat who mentioned he saw altantuya and najib in some exhibition in singapore (got this thru’ susan loone’s blog some time ago).

Syed Abdul Rahman said after he was appointed by the Mongolian prime minister to investigate the murder of Altantuya, he discovered that Najib had nothing to do with the case.

dei mr consul!! who can believe that? the very fact that the two accused were najib’s bodyguards and the C4 explosives can be obtained only via the defence ministry and najib is the defence minister, shows he is involved one way or another.

oh dear! i’d better shut up now, and not continue to say he is involved, otherwise i might land myself in trouble because that is how our fucked up system works – if you are a nobody, whatever you believed or declared, they’ll dismiss you as liars or trouble makers, and don’t bother about investigation BUT if you are a VIP gomen ministers or umnoputera (or agent of umnoputera), whatever your believed or declared, they’ll tend to believe you and quick as a lightning carries out an investigation. that’s bolehland for you!

ok so i’d better qualify myself to say whatever i say here are all assumptions only.

don’t forget to read the full article from the government mouthpiece! i don’t see this news in malaysiakini but saw it in the malaysian insider. oh btw, i saw the swearing on tv3 midnight news. oh, at the end of the article, it mentioned about the drop of petrol price – a news that is carried by so many bloggers, so i’m not going to.

ok so now everybody’s talking about PI bala’s about-turn – retracting his SD just 24 hours after it and making a new one.

he said the SD he made on 1 july was under duress. and guess what was in the new SD? all the statements that he wish to retract from his first SD has to do with one particular name – the DPM’s!! (that this person was not involved…. blah… blah… blah….).  was that a surprise? 

wait… i bet you wouldn’t find this a surprise too. after his first SD, he received a phone call from the police and his lawyer, americk, dropped him at the police station. then the following day, he suddenly announced he wish to retract his SD and made a new one. no surprise eh? the about-turn came after his visit to the police!! whoa!

as it is a saturday (and yesterday i was swarmed with so much work – still lots to come on monday!), i will not want to write more now but just direct you to visit haris ibrahim’s blog for he has many interesting posts on this issue (he was present at the press conference on 1 july where bala made his first SD).

in the meantime i would also like to CnP the statement from bala’s lawyer (er… the old one, americk singh) from malaysiakini as below:

—————————-

Malaysiakini
4 July 2008, 7.12pm

Lawyer sceptical new signed of free will.

The following is the full statement given by Balasubramanian’s lawyer, Americk Singh Sidhu at a press conference this afternoon at PKR’s headquarters.

I have been made to understand that Mr Balasubramaniam a/l Perumal has issued a statutory declaration at a press conference held at the Prince Hotel at 11am this morning, retracting his earlier statutory declaration affirmed on July 1, 2008.

The reason given for this retraction is that his original statutory declaration, recorded by myself, was “compelled to be affirmed under duress”.

No details of this alleged compulsion and duress have been put forth. Bala is reported as not answering when asked this morning in his press conference who was it who intimidated him.

For the record, I confirm that the statutory declaration affirmed by Bala on July 1, 2008 which he released yesterday was affirmed voluntarily before a commissioner for oaths Dr T Yokheswarem and in my presence.

I first met Bala in the presence of a few other persons in a restaurant about two months ago where he asked me to assist with preparing a formal document incorporating some evidence that had not been presented in the ongoing Altantuya trial. I started the process about two weeks after that. I would have met him a few times where I recorded in long hand, what Bala told me.

I have had no reason to doubt what Bala told me as being anything other than the truth and my role was confined to listening to what he had to say, recording the same, and transcribing it into a statutory declaration in a systematic and comprehensible format.

This statutory declaration was then attested before the above said commissioner of oaths, Dr T Yokheswarem in my presence, and of course in the presence of Bala. The contents of this statutory declaration were read in front of this commissioner of oaths who enquired from Bala whether he understood the contents and whether that was his declaration.

After Bala confirmed the same, he was asked to sign three copies and the commissioner attested each copy. Bala was asked to produce his NRIC (identity card) to the commissioner and then signed the commissioner’s recording book.

I am therefore extremely surprised that Bala, in the space of 24 hours, has engaged the services of another lawyer and affirmed another statutory declaration swearing the first one was untrue and that he was forced to sign it.

As I am familiar with the character of Bala having spent hours with him recording his statement, I am very sceptical that he has signed the second statutory declaration of his own free will and I am convinced he has been intimidated to do so by either threats or promises, as I can think of no other reason.

The commissioner of oaths who attested the first statutory declaration is prepared to confirm what I have stated above as far as the voluntariness of Bala’s statutory declaration is concerned.

In fact Bala recognised the commissioner as soon as he saw him as both apparently grew up in the same neighbourhood in Slim River, which is something I had no knowledge of.
