Ghost of Altantuya


The ghost of Altantuya
haunts her alleged killers
right into Malaysian Parliament.

The most brutal murder
of the century crops up
as Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Najib Razak
wound up debate
on the RM60 billion boost.

Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo
shouted: "Answer me, you murderer.
"DPM, you are involved in the murder case,
stand up and explain yourself.
Come back, I 'm not finished with you."

Najib was caught off-guard
as he was walking away.
He walked back to his seat
and sat down.

Deputy Speaker Ronald Kiandee
in a flash went to his aid,
ordering Gobind
out of the House
escorted by the
Sergeant-at-arms.


Several People Alliance MPs
including DAP adviser
Lim Kit Siang(MP - Ipoh Timur)
jeered and protested the
suspension for the day
of Gobind
staging a mass walkout
together with him
in protest.


Najib later left
Parliament
with his wife
Rosmah Mansor
two children
and his entourage.


Mongolian beauty
Altantuya Shaariibuu
was shot twice and blown
up
into pieces
with C-4 plastic
explosives
in October 2006.


Her lover
Abdul Razak Baginda
has been aquitted and discharged
of abetment in her murder.


Abdul Razak Baginda
is head of the Malaysian Strategic Research Centre
think tank
and close associate of
Najib Razak.


Together both men
were believed to have
great fun with Altantuya
with Najib allegedly passing her
to Abdul Razak Baginda
for safe-keeping.


French newspaper
Liberation revived
the Altantuya story
last week linking her,
Najib and Abdul Razak Baginda
in Malaysia's multi-billion euros
purchase of two Scorpene submarines


Najib was then Malaysia's
Defence Minister.


He is now Finance Minister
after switching porfolios
with outgoing Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.


He is scheduled to take over
the helm from Abdullah
later this month.


Abdul Razak Baginda
is alleged to be Najib's
intermediary for the commission
paid by French-Spanish joint venture
shipbuilder Armaris.


Liberation splashed
detailed report
on how Altantuya
was shot in the left side
of her face and blown up
into pieces in jungle clearing
near Subang Dam
in Puncak Alam,Shah Alam.


Altantuya had gone missing
in October 19,2006.


She was last seen getting into
a car outside Abdul Razak Baginda's
house.


Two elite special action force
police personnel
are being charged
for her murder.


The court is expected
to deliver the verdict
next month in what
has been a long drawn out
trial to minimise its
political impact.


Liberation reported
Rosmah,jealous of Altantuya,
refused to pay her
a single cent of US$500,000
commission.


It claims
the share of
Abdul Razak Baginda and Najib
amounted to 114 million euros.


The deal
was alleged
to have been done via Perimeker,
owned by Abdul Razak Baginda's
Ombak Laut.


During the trial,
Gobind's father,
Karpal Singh
has been holding
a watching brief
for Altantuya's family.


Karpal,
DAP chairman
and prominent Malaysian lawyer,
had sought in vain to recall
private investigator
P.Balasubramaniam,
the first prosecution witness.


Balasubramaniam has since
gone missing.


On July 23,2007,
the High Court
rejected Karpal's petition
to obtain testimony
from Deputy Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Najib Razak.


High Court judge
Mohd Zaki said
Karpal Singh
had no locus standi
or is in no position
to make the application.


He ruled
only the parties involved,
the prosecution and the defence,
have the right to do so.


The trial has dragged on
over more than one-and-half-year
leading to acquittal and discharge
on October 31,2008 of Abdul Razak Baginda
of abetment in the murder.


Blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin(RPK)
editor of Malaysia Today
has accused
Najib's wife
Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor
as being one of three people
who witnessed the bomb blow-up
of Altantuya at the crime scene
on October 19,2006.


He claimed
Rosmah,acting colonel Aziz Buyong
and his wife,Norhayati,
who is Rosmah's aide de camp
were there as Aziz Buyong
placed the c-4 plastic explosives
on Altantuya's body and blew it up.


RPK made the allegations
in the first statutory declaration
in connection with the murder case.


In the second statutory declaration
made by Abdul Razak Baginda's
private investigator
P.Balasubramaniam,
Najib was alleged to
have had a sexual relationship
with Altantuya with the trio -
Najib,Altantuya and Abdul Razak Baginda
dining together in Paris.


Balasubramaniam claimed
Abdul Razak Baginda told him
Altantuya was Najib's lover.


Najib passed her to him
to avoid harassment
as he is Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister.


Balasubramaniam alleged
there were text messages
between Najib and Abdul Razak Baginda
as the latter sought Najib's help to
avoid arrest.


On July 1,2008, Balasubramanim suddenly
retracted all allegations with reference to
Najib.


Since then Balasubramaniam, his wife
and children have all gone missing.


Meanwhile, an association of independent
journalists co-ordinated by French Liberation
correspondent Arnaud Dubus,
has set up
the Altantuya Foundation
in Bangkok.


The Altantuya Foundation
aims to offer concrete help
to Mr. Shaariibuu Setev,60,
the father of Altantuya and her
two children - Altanshagai,five,
and Mungunshagai,14.


The Mongolian embassy in Bangkok
will supervise
it and convey all donations directly to
Mr. Shaariibuu.


Well known Thai human rights activist
and chairman of the Union of Civil Liberties
Danthong Breen
is the first donor.


Arnaud Dubus said he met Mr.Shaariibuu in Ulan Bator
in January.He was touched by how the Mongolian had to work two different jobs to take care of his orphaned grandchildren.


"I am a journalist but I also have a heart.


"I could not help feeling compassion for the Shaariibuu family,"
he adds.


People of all nationalities, East and West, can show support for the family of Altantuya.

Naked Politics


Naked politics
grip Malaysia
as corruption watchdog
bites state governor.

After Perak crisis
and paralysis
via political frog hop,
now Selangor suffers
humiliation of one-two punches of nude expose
and corruption watchdog
big power bark~bite.

That's the new naked
bare knuckles tactic
in the last month of
outgoing premier
Datuk Seri Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi
pressured by UMNO leaders to step down
next month ahead
of his earlier planned 
exit.

As premier-designate
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak
prepares to take over
UMNO leadership
in late March,
we witness
vile devious
political play.

Today
Democratic Action Party(DAP) chairman
Karpal Singh criticizes
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission(MACC)
for compromising its independence
and integrity.

Its chief commissioner
Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan
has literally jumped
into the political fray.

He barks aloud and bites
Selangor Mentri Besar(Chief Minister or State Governor)
Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim
with claim of "good and strong
evidence" of Khalid's abuse of power
over car maintenance and charity beef gift.

This historic statement
by MACC,set up as an independent body
by Malaysia's Parliament,
seems to be contrary
to its aims and objectives.

One is reminded 
of the earlier character assassination
attempt on former deputy premier
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
via media prosecution.

Now it happens again.

Karpal stresses corruption
watchdog has departed from 
its role with such serious allegation
without proper legal process
in court.

In fact, Khalid has already
filed two defamation suits
in Shah Alam High Court
against his predecessor,
discredited ousted former
Selangor Mentri Besar
Datuk Seri Dr. Mohd Khir Toyo.

His lawyer,Sankara Nair,
filed the suits on Wednesday
(February 18,2009).

Khir Toyo,now Selangor 
opposition leader and state assemblyman
of Sungei Besar, has alleged
Khalid misused state funds
for maintenance of 
his luxury Lexus car
and charity beef gift
distribution from
slaughter of 46 cows
during Hari Raya Aidiladha
celebration at his
Bandar Tun Razak
parliamentary constituency.

Amid severe recession,
Malaysia is hit hard by
horrendous political storm
of wild emotions 
and foul furious
terror furore.

In the pursuit of power
by any means,
some political masters
have forgotten
basic human rights,
constitutional law,
fairness and reasonableness.

Naked politics
at its worst
aimed at maximum
damage,defamation
and destruction
are used
without scruples.

This alarming trend 
is evident in recent events
as follows:-

*Death threat with two live bullets
sent to Karpal Singh at his home
in Jalan Utama,Penang.

The threat warns karpal that
his family would be burned
to death for fooling around
with Malay rulers and Malay issues.

Karpal had earlier stated 
he would sue Perak sultan
for acting ultra vires
Perak Constitution.

*Assassination threat on 
Penang Chief Minister 
Lim Guan Eng for strong
statements on modern parliamentary
democracy and removal of 
immunity of rulers from 
being sued by former premier
Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamed
during Constitutional Crisis.

*Similar death threat on 
Perak State Assembly Speaker
V.Sivakumar for chairing
State Assembly Special Privileges
Committee that has issued suspension
orders on National Front Perak Mentri Besar
Datuk Dr. Zambry Abdul Kadir
and his six-member for 
contempt of the House.

Acting on complaint
from Canning state assemblyman
Wong Kah Woh,
the panel summoned 
Zambry and his exco
to appear before it
at 3.30p.m. on Wednesday
(February 18,2009).

It bars Zambry from
the Perak State Assembly
for 18 months and the others
each for 12 months for
acting "unconstitutionally and 
illegally in contempt of the House".

This means National Front
would command only 21 votes
against People alliance 28 votes in any formal sitting of Perak State Assembly.

Sivakumar has ruled the three political frogs
as having resigned and vacated 
their seats.

He says Zambry,his exco and the three 
political frogs would be thrown out
if they attend the next formal sitting
of the Perak State Assembly.

Meanwhile,ousted People Alliance
Perak Mentri Besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin
says he would vacate
Perak Mentri Besar official residence
today(February 22,2009) to contnue
his fight in Kuala Lumpur.

Nizar and his 10-member exco have filed
constitutional law suit at Kuala Lumpur
High Court to declare Zambry
and his six-member exco "illegal
and unconstitutional".

The five-page suit with
supporting affidavits
from Sivakumar and Nizar
seeks judicial review
to declare Nizar
as the legitimate
Perak Mentri Besar
and an injunction
to stop Zambry 
or his agents from
carrying out the duties
and functions of 
Mentri Besar.

High Court judicial commissioner
Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof
has offered to recuse himself
from hearing the landmark
constitutional law case to escalate
it to the Federal Court in the interest
of speed
and finality.

His grounds are his previous
involvement in PAS legal matters,
PKR legal issues and National Front's
election petition in Sarawak.

His decision is to preserve justice and 
integrity of the court.

Nizar urges the court to disqualify 
Perak legal adviser for National Front
Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid from 
acting for Zambry
as Zambry is being sued
in his personal capacity,
not as Perak Mentri Besar.

Hence,Zambry
has no right 
to make use of
Perak state's resources
including its state legal adviser.

So Perak now
has historic two 
Mentris Besar
and two state governments
each claiming legitimacy.

Outgoing premier
Abdullah has urged
Zambry and his exco
to lodge police report
against Sivakumar.

He feels the Perak
State Assembly Speaker
has shown disrespect
to Perak sultan.

First Perak.Now Selangor.
Elizabeth Wong,poor soul,
has fled the country in deep distress and humiliation over the circulation of her nude pictures via MMS and mass media.

As one reviews
the train of events,
one would ask some
vital questions:-

Have we forgotten what makes a society great?

Do decency,justice and right mean anything at all?

Why not solve Perak crisis by calling for fresh state
election?

Can't the people exercise their right to vote for
representatives of their choice in Perak State Assembly?

Well, what's next? Worst moves? More foul play?
And Use of  ISA? Declaration of State of Emergency?

When Government Becomes


When government
becomes the problem,
not the solution,
what do we do?

When it shatters
the public trust,
should we accept it?

When it robs
our present,
must we validate it?

When it spreads
its corruption menace
should we applaud it?

When a coalition
with a party known
for money politics
as its leader
adopts unprincipled
political practices,
should we support it?

Must we
should we
bear the burden
of its blunders
and pay the price
of erosion of our
constitutional human rights,
the deterioration
of our national competitiveness
the destruction
of quality of life,
security,peace 
and public law
and the decline
in educational standard
of our schools and universities?

When it grabs
power at a state
without the people consent,
should we keep quiet?

Are there no laws
and principles
to outlaw such open
show of arrogance
such raw usurpation
in our modern society
that practises parliamentary
democracy?

Should we
not all rise up
and condemn
it to safeguard
and preserve
our consititutional right
and freedom
to vote for
representatives of 
our choice?
