UPDATE, 4 July 2008: “PI retracts stunning statutory declaration” as reported here. Well, we are certainly living in interesting time in Malaysia.
What is becoming of our beloved Malaysia?
News of scandals after scandals are breaking out like there’s no tomorrow. While they provide explosive new information into the cases highlighted, they will remain as mere allegations for the time being until thorough investigations can establish them to be otherwise.
Given the seriousness of these allegations, I urge the Badawi administration to give these matters their top priority and orders should be given to thoroughly investigate them, without fear or favor. Every apparatus of the government’s machinery should be mobilized and no stone should be left unturned.
Justice must prevail and be served. The sooner these allegations are put to rest the better it will be for the people and the country. The whole nation needs to move forward with good governance, transparency and accountability at all times.

Today’s grabbing headline is the result of a breaking story by malaysiakini. Here’s an extract of the online news portal’s report …
“Private investigator P Balasubramaniam has made shocking claims that Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had links with murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.
“He revealed that Najib had also informed his close associate Abdul Razak Baginda that Inspector General of Police Musa Hassan was ‘taking care’ of the murder case which implicated Abdul Razak.
“He further revealed that his evidence linking Najib to the murdered Mongolian was removed by the police and prosecutors during the murder trial – a move seen to protect the DPM.
“These shocking revelations were made by Balasubramaniam in a statutory declaration which he filed on July 1 and was revealed by PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim in a packed press conference this morning.“
From malaysiakini, also, here’s “the full 16-page statutory declaration signed by Abdul Razak Baginda’s private investigator P. Balasubramaniam on July 1.”
