MCC MOHD SHUKRI ABDUL FLIRTING GIVES OFF THE IMPRESSION TO YOUR PARTNER NAJIB AND ROSMAH THAT YOU WANT SOMETHING FURTHER THAN JUST HAND HOLDING
PKR supreme council member Datuk Zaid Ibrahim today
Zaid also accused Zahrain, who quit PKR last February to become independent MP, of acting like “Special Branch” officer when raising the allegations in Parliament today.
On 11th October, Malaysia Today carried a post entitled‘Abuse of power by the Deputy Prime Minister’ that laid out a series of sms’es alleged to have passed between Najib and senior lawyer Shafee Abdullah in relation to Razak Baginda’s arrest and remand in the days before Baginda was charged.
Najib was publicly asked to comment about these sms’es and he never denied the authenticity of the same.
Now, there’s one other exchange of sms’es, this time allegedly between Razak Baginda and Najib. I do not recall Najib himself having ever addressed or denied or admitted the correctness or otherwise of these sms’es directly, as he did with the series of sms’es referred to in the MT posting.
I am referring to the 2 sms’es mentioned at paragraphs 51 and 52 of the first statutory declaration of private investigator Balasubramaniam. Let me reproduce below both paragraphs 51 and 52 of that first statutory declaration.
51. On the day Abdul Razak Baginda was arrested, I was with him at his lawyers office at 6.30am. Abdul Razak Baginda informed us that he had sent Najib Razak an SMS the evening before as he refused to believe he was to be arrested, but had not received a response.
52. Shortly thereafter, at about 7.30am, Abdul Razak Baginda received an SMS from Najib Razak and showed, this message to both myself and his lawyer. This message read as follows: “ I am seeing IGP at 11am today … matter will be solved … be cool”.
Like all of you, I am aware of Bala’s second statutory declaration contradicting the first, but we also have to acknowledge that the circumstances surrounding the making and public announcement of the second statutory declaration, and the subsequent disappearance of the maker of both, might make it prudent for us to defer adjudging which of the two statutory declarations narrates the truth until such time that Bala is available to fully disclose andexplain the circumstances surrounding the making of both statutory delcarations
“He does not have anything else to talk about. If he had asked me, I would have told him more,” Zaid posted in his personal blog under the title “Kesian Zahrain; so pathetic” hours after the former Penang PKR chief brought up the matter.
“Raja Petra and his wife Marina are my friends. I do not abandon my friends just because they are in trouble. So every time I’m in London, I’d visit them,” added the recently-appointed Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory PKR chief.
Zahrain had said Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) denial of a “connection” with Raja Petra was a “lie” as he had papers which showed that Zaid had stayed in the same British hotel with Raja Petra last October.
He provided documents to show that Zaid had made bookings at the Britannia Hotel from October 1-4, 2009, while Raja Petra made bookings at the same hotel from October 1-3 in 2009.
Zahrain said that he wants the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate the source of Raja Petra’s funding as well as private investigator P. Balasubramaniam who is a witness in the murder trial of Altantuya Shariibuu
BUT WHO ORDERED THIS?

The last words from her grave. Spoken ferociously with a firm intent and purpose. The conspiracy revealed. Common intention with the sole pupose of committing a cruel cold-blooded murder. And raping her before the ultimate crime. The soul of justice would pervade in the corridors of Bukit Aman and Putrajaya. And pollute the AG Chambers. Criminal conspiracy. Concealing the truth with such deliberateness and a political agenda. Millions of $ at stake. Corruption and abuses of power at its absolute core. Malaysia shall pay a heavy price for this injustice. Because the corrupt politicians dictate the course. The rakyat is like the sacrificed lamb. All else is dispensable. The position of the PM must never be compromised. UMNO must remain the dominant force in this country. At all costs. At whatever costs. Nothing else matters. The Almighty had since given His blessing for these corrupt devils to be the supreme rulers. Not what is stated in my version of the Bible. Who cares?
————————————————————————————————————–
THE EDITOR , NOW THEY ADMIT THAT THE SMS WAS IN NEED SENT BY THEM BUT IS A PRIVATE MATTER.WHY WILL SOMEONE ENROUTE TO PUTRJAYA WILL WANT TO GET INVOLVE IN THIS EPISODE . HOW CAN THEY SAY THAT HE DID NOT ABUSE THE POWER?
WHY THE P.M HAS TO GO ALONG HIS WAY ? WHERE IS HIS PROMISE TO THE RAAYAT THAT
HE WILL FIGHT THE ABUSE OF POWER?
1. Defence would say it’s all in the evidence. Let the laws take their course.
2. The Judiciary would say they are above Board and cannot make public comments.
3. The rakyat says it’s all politics and a big farce.
4. The Mongolians would say there’s no justice in Malaysia.
5. The 2 other co-accused would say they take the rap for someone else?
6. The incoming First Lady would enjoy more of her shopping with delight.
7. The incoming PM would continue to have nightmares and sleep uneasy.
8. RPK would probably have an updated write-up sooner than later.
9. Ian Chin has no comment because he’s resigning.
10.And the former loud-mouth PM? Yes, he never play any active role.
These are all the salients points of ‘Justice At Work’ in Malaysia.

I am not a defeatist by nature and I will stand my ground tremain stubborn and even obstinate in my fight for justice. However, I have of late been battling with a voice within me coercing me softly that our obstacles are just becoming too insurmountable. The boundaries and constrains that limit our investigations into alleged crimes of the government or individuals within the ruling party have resulted in all our painstaking efforts being dessimated by them.
Without a fair and honest judiciary system in place, it would be foolhardy to think that justice will be served to the perperators of these crimes. We must realise that the whole government machinery is totally at their mercy to manipulate at their whims and fancy. It is a bitter pill to swallow; heck, a damned bitter pill at that.
Nonetheless, we shall remain united in our fight for justice with one heart, one mind, one soul. One day soon, I know the truth shall prevail through the power of PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE
It is true, Razak did NOT murder Altantuya.
However, Razak did call on Najib’s ‘men’ to assist him,
he should have known the worst case scenario – knocking off Altantuya!
In any case, getting ‘Najib’s men’ to forcefully remove or threaten a lady is certainly a crime, if one was to look at it from a civil right point of view.
He should have known the consequences of his action in employing ‘strong arm tactics’ to remove a defenseless women, who was demanding to see him. This is what lead to the death of the defenseless lady and for that alone, he MUST NOT …i agree with you. He’s just the ‘caretaker’ who makes a lot of dough along the way. He didn’t kill her!!!
I bet, at some point, he probably regretted being the reluctant caretaker at the 1st place n was willing to trade all the dough back for his freedom. But it’s not that simple, when power players is in play behind. There’re consequences judging from the background of that power player. Come to think of it, i personally don’t even know anyone who is capable of ordering the killing and was actually THERE to watch her blown to pieces…well, it bring chills down my spine. I don’t even have the stomach for that!!!
I’m of opinion, just let ARB of the hook. If we pursue to focus on him too much, then we might put his family in danger, then the real perpetrator might want him to swim with the fish at the bottom of the ocean.
ARB, my advice to you. Disassociate yourself with them. Donate all your ill gotten wealth to charity and consider yourself reborn n lead a simple life with your family. It’s always not too late to do the right thing. Maybe someday, when circumstances allow, you might want to tell us the truth of what really happen. I understand that the safety of your family comes 1st at this point .

“Yes he did book the hotel room for me but he did not stay there because their house is only 15 minutes away,” said Zaid.

“The hotel is rated three star, unlike the hotel where Zahrain stayed when he was in Washington,” he added, referring to Zahrain’s trip to the US with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to form the Malaysia-United States Caucus.

Zaid also said in his blog that he would meet Raja Petra next week when he visits London to launch a PR-linked organisation.
“I will give more information to Zahrain or MACC if they are interested in more details,” he said.
It is nothing less than astounding to now realize that an authority such as the MACC, who would have been expected to have done everything in their power to investigate the very serious allegations made against the Prime Minister, his wife and his brother, to now forfeit that opportunity on tenuous and exasperatingly flimsy grounds knowing full well that much preparation has gone into organizing this interview and to then pull out at the very last moment contrary to the false perceptions created by them up till now.

readmre On advice of AG, MACC chickens out on London meet ..
I refer to the press release by the MACC this afternoon to the effect that they will not be sending their officers to London to interview my client P.Balasubramaniam (Bala), as promised.
The excuses (they do not qualify as reasons), given are as follows:
1. That the MACC will instead submit questions to which my client will give his answers in affidavit form.
2. That the A.G’s chambers had provided advice along these lines to the MACC.
3. That precedence has been established in the Eric Chia case to the effect that a witnesses statement recorded overseas is inadmissible in a Malaysian Court.
BREAKING NEWS
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will not record the statement of private investigaor P Balasubramaniam in London.
READ ALSO: MACC officers may face arrest in London
Instead, the commission will submit questions to his lawyer and request that the witness responds in the form of an affidavit, MACC deputy commissioner Mohd Shukri Abdull told a press conference today.
“We will submit the questions to the witness’ lawyer tomorrow,” he said.
He said that the decision was made upon advice from the attorney-general’s chambers.
4. That even if an affidavit was sworn by Bala it would not hold much weight in court if he was not available to testify.
These statements appear to be full of contradictions, misguided assumptions and ill-devised excuses used to decline the invitation to interview Bala which has been so vehemently pursued by the MACC in the past.
The recording of a witnesses statement can take place anywhere in the world as this statement forms part of the investigations conducted by the MACC for the purposes of a potential prosecution and is not intended to be used as evidence in a Court of Law. If this were the case, then the statement recorded from Saiful in the ongoing Sodomy II trial of Anwar Ibrahim would have been willingly tendered by the prosecution as part of their case instead of being guarded jealously and hidden from view. So this is really no excuse for not recording a statement from Bala. It would never be tendered in court unless it is used to discredit the oral evidence of a witness if that evidence contradicts a previously recorded statement. This process is called impeachment. That is why a statement is first recorded.
The MACC have assumed that Bala will not turn up in Court to testify.
Why have they assumed this?
Bala is ever prepared to testify against those personalities who have caused him and his family untold misery for the past 2 years. Was it not Bala who surfaced to tell his story as soon as he was able? Has he ever shirked from his duty as a law abiding citizen to assist the authorities in whatever way he could without compromising his own safety? All Bala asks is that the authorities concerned ensure that his well being is preserved if he is required to testify. Nothing more nothing less.
Bala could quite easily have gone into forced exile with RM5 million in his pocket and his life would have been a lot easier. Instead he has come forward to expose the misdeeds perpetrated upon him by a host of unsavoury characters who stretch all the way to the personalities holding the highest positions in government and their immediate family members.
If the MACC requires signed depositions from Bala to wrap up their investigations, may I suggest they consult the documents available all over cyberspace in the form of Bala’s 1st SD released in July 2008 and the 3 parts of his Q&A released in November 2009. These documents exhaustively detail all issues involved in this conspiracy and have been available for a long time now. If this is all the MACC required, why suggest that their investigations could not proceed without the cooperation of Bala? Why did Nazri inform Parliament that the MACC were emasculated in continuing with their investigations because Bala could not be found?
Bala was available at all times and the MACC knew this. We have documents to prove we had informed them of our willingness to cooperate as far back as December last year. Why is everyone becoming so coy at the eleventh hour?
It is nothing less than astounding to now realize that an authority such as the MACC, who would have been expected to have done everything in their power to investigate the very serious allegations made against the Prime Minister, his wife and his brother, to now forfeit that opportunity on tenuous and exasperatingly flimsy grounds knowing full well that much preparation has gone into organizing this interview and to then pull out at the very last moment contrary to the false perceptions created by them up till now.
This turn of events has certainly destroyed what little credibility the MACC had left and has confirmed the suspicions held by most right thinking members of society that they are a body existing solely to protect the interests of the powers that be and to ensure that any opposition to the government is dealt with by harsh, brash, unnecessary and lopsided vehemence with the sole purpose of destroying any legitimate questioning of the excesses of the ruling regime so that power is perpetuated in the hands of their masters.
As far as I am concerned, and I know I speak for the team of lawyers representing Bala in this matter, that we will all be in London at the Holiday Villas, Bayswater at 10 am on the 5th July awaiting the arrival of the 3 MACC officers who are supposed to interview Bala as arranged and as promised.
Let me add that whatever advice the MACC may have received from the Attorney General’s chambers is highly suspect and devoid of any legal basis, but instead smacks of a hastily assembled concoction of very weak excuses designed to avoid a potentially embarrassing situation for those who are obviously in control and who are able to hijack the machinations of the State and to manipulate the system to suit their own illegitimate agendas.
And if there are still any reservations as to whether the MACC were indeed genuinely planning on interviewing Bala in London then that misconception has now been destroyed by the fact that they had, up till now, not bothered to book the conference room at the Holiday Villas, Bayswater even though they had assured us they would handle the booking. They had never intended to interview Bala and have spent the past few weeks scrambling around for an excuse not to. The only problem is the excuse is ludicrous and everyone knows that.
