Comments on rocky's bru: I did 1st July SD under duress, Bala swears

2009-11-14T10:29:52.923+08:00

I do not have to trust this man to know the folloy of his actions. He was clearly coached and coached poorly by others. My suspicion iss he was coached by lawyers and political advisors of PKR to come up with his story which has no relevance or evidentiary value if the end objective is to trap Najib Tun Razak.

Balasubramaniam is nothing more than a partially lierate individual used as a prop by the sentient mind behind the anti Razak- Altantuya murder allegations embellished with fabrication, with lies, imaginary tales of secret rendezvous and conspiracies concocted by a group of lawyers in KL.

An analysis of Balasubramaniam's first statutory declaration (SD) will appeaar on our blog shortly.

Balasubramaniam will eventually be compelled to reveal the people who are and who have been behind this farce using him througout and mercilessly so.

If the prime minister has a case to answer, these lawyers certainly have shown no skills or knowledge as to how to go about bringing him to trial within the confines of the law.

The SD was in strict legal terms falwed and an embarassment. It contains words and phrases used out of context, words that Balasubramaniam was incapable of using as it did not belong in his vocabulary.

It was fabricated with words alien to Balasubramaniam and placed in there for effect. However that effect and the fact the lawyers acted so negligently in this matter will come to haunt them sonner rather than later.

The lawyer intervewiing Balasubramaniam failed in his primary duty of care to the law by not warning Balasubramaniam of the dangers of what he was stating in the SD. Nor did they alter him to the inconsistencies or irrelvance of his sworn statements.

In so doing the lawyer has placed a proverbial noose around his own neck.

At our blog we have openly invited the Malaysian Bar to test its competence and the competence of those members amongsst them who play politics. None have yet demonstrated the courage to come forward and acept the challenge.

Before we forget let's go down memory lane not so ...

2008-07-07T19:45:00.000+08:00

Before we forget let's go down memory lane not so long ago. This Bala episode is a rerun.

An ex-minister of ours was implicated in an outrage of modesty case and, lo and behold there was a retraction of the charge by the victim.

Coincidentally, a similar groping case in Singapore landed the perpetrator up in jail.

And now, PDRM is soliciting interpol's help in tracing missing Bala.

What's going inside your head with this Bala's latest news at this particular point of time? Let's see, I'm ruminating now....

Interpol...mmm he's outside the country? Has he got the money for the upkeeping? Wah, so easy to flee the country inspite of the publicity and attention he has garnered? What happened to Immigration..and so on if I let my imagination run wild.

My point is, don't blame me for being a a conspiracy theorist. It is their own doing that I am a conspiracy theorist.

I quote a maxim from a website elsewhere: lying compounds the consequences. How true the maxim is to reflect our current difficult times.

Meanwhile, our sleepy head mulls cluelessly about the negative perception of the rakyat.

This current government lacks credibility in whatever they are doing.

2008-07-07T14:55:00.000+08:00

I think we seriously need to put a stop to this racists comments. I live in a multi - racial neighbourhood, we are like a family. So plese stop this bickering.

Secondly, after reading everyones comments, even a school boy can stand up and tell you that DPM's wife is definitely involved in this case. But the question is who is going to stand up againsts the government ? They can very well cover up everything behind closed doors without the public knowing.

If we want a new government, the person with proof on DPM's wife must come out now and reveal everything.

ONCE THE DPM FALLS, EVERY OTHER CRONY WILL FALL, its a chain reaction.

2008-07-07T12:35:00.000+08:00

was looking at the 2nd statutory declaration again, specifically this statement

" I wish to refer to the statutory declaration I affirmed on July 1, 2008. I refer specifically to paragraphs 8, 25, 28, 49 and 50 to 52"

So I went back to the original declaration and hilited these clauses that he is now recanting in a different colour font in red

when you read the 1st declaration minus above clauses it doesnt make sense,there is no flow.

next i typed edit the word najib followed by search, it stopped exactly on those red fonts, meaning all the clauses that contained the word "najib" has been removed, except for this one

Quote
51. On the day Abdul Razak Baginda was arrested, I was with him at his lawyers office at 6.30 a.m. Abdul Razak Baginda informed us that he had sent Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak an SMS the evening before as he refused to believe he was to be arrested, but had not received a response.

and thats the only clause that does not seem incriminating to najib......

like I said there is NO FLOW, typical of the way they do lame cover ups,
like cops seizing a computer monitor and labelling it evidence when in fact the data resides in the CPU.

I await the new expose-Anwar has promised to shed more light on this.

2008-07-07T00:57:00.000+08:00

This whole SD episode smells very fishy to me.

Would the police / Najib / (insert your favourite villain here) be so stupid as to force Bala to sign a bogus second SD when in his first SD he mentioned being forced by the police to sign a false statement?

Knowing his previous misadventures with the police, why would his lawyer drop him off at the Brickfields police station to face them alone?

Compare paras 25 and 28 of the first SD. In a 15 minute conversation in front Razak's house, Alatantuya was supposed to have told Bala exactly the same things that Razak had:
1. That Najib had introduced them in S'pore
2. That they all had dinner in Paris
3. That she was demanding $500,000
4. That Razak had bought her a property in Mongolia

Points 1,2 and 4 seem fairly mundane to me. Of all the things that had supposedly gone on between Najib, Altantuya and Razak, why would Razak and Altantuya both specifically mention these same 3 incidents? If one of them had done so, then I would probably have believed it. But both of them? A bit too much of a coincidence if you ask me. If Altantuya had been having anal sex with Najib, why would she even mention having dinner with him? If you think that's where he offered her the 1/2 million bucks, read the SD again. For some reason it's quite careful not to say this.

If Najib had had an affair with Altantuya, surely it would have been very hush hush. Why would Razak, who everyone now knows to be Najib's lackey, divulge this information to Bala so easily. To persuade him to stay on the case? Come on. It's not like he was the only PI left in Malaysia. And judging from what had happened before, he doesn't seem to be a very good one either.

Seems pretty obvious to me that both Bala's first and second SDs were part of the same plan designed to plant into peoples minds ideas that
- Najib had a reason to kill Altantuya
- Najib was a sodomite
- Najib was corrupt vis a vis the submarine deal
- the police /authorities routinely force people (e.g. Saiful Bukhari) into making false statements

What did Bala have to lose? A few months in jail perhaps. In mitigation, he could always say that he had retracted his allegations. For a chance to be a hero for the cause, with maybe a couple million bucks thrown in, would you do the same? I'd be seriously tempted...

Whether SD1 is true or not, a fictional conversation (between A and B) leading to it may be something as below.

A: “Just sign it. Don’t worry. RP did it. Nothing happens to him. What’s the worry? It’ll make you an instant hero overnight.”

B: “But Dato, I’ve no royal blood in me. The big guys will be less hesistant to slam me.”

A: “You are just worrying unnecessary. Didn’t you the 20000 people crowd that turned up at my rally? A new government will be formed soon and I will be the number 1 in charge. The current IGP will be removed… No need to worry too much. Just sign it.”

B: “What if the new government is formed two months’ time? It can on 16 September, right? Meantime, my family and I will be kaput. I don’t mean any disrespect, Dato. But after all, only last week, you were on the run yourself with your life threatened, how can you guarantee mine will not be in danger?”

A: “You worry too much. See nothing happens to me? I can get one of my many people I know at the many of the embassies here to issue you and your family an invitation to stay there until the new government is formed or until we receive assurances from the authority that you and family will be safe when you come out. Don’t worry. Trust me, just sign it.”

B: “Okay-lah. Let’s do it.”

2008-07-05T15:23:00.000+08:00

Well said Anon 1:22pm. On another note, just read this interesting news below:

(The Straits Times) - THE press secretary to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has written to the Today tabloid newspaper, taking issue with recent articles on the wife of Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak.

'Although developments in Malaysia affect Singapore, we must be disinterested external observers, not partisan participants in their domestic politics,' Mr Chen Hwai Liang said in a letter addressed to the paper's editorial director, Mr P.N. Balji.

He was referring to a report headlined 'Under fire - the 'First Lady-in-waiting'', which appeared in Today on June 27.

This quoted various Malaysians describing Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor as 'arrogant' and 'ambitious'.

Also criticised by Mr Chen was a subsequent note from Mr Balji, headlined 'Leave it to our readers to judge', which was published on July 3.

The latter was in reply to a letter from the Malaysian High Commissioner to Singapore, Datuk N. Parameswaran, taking issue with the June 27 report.

Both of Today's articles 'took a slant which cast doubt on your newspaper's objectivity', said Mr Chen.

'Singapore media reports on events and developments from around the world in order to keep Singaporeans well-informed and aware of what is happening around us. But it is important for the Singapore media's reporting of political developments in other countries to be objective and factual,' he said.

'In particular, it is unwise for Singapore media to take sides, especially when it involves our immediate neighbours,' he added.

The Malaysian High Commissioner, who is due to be posted back to Kuala Lumpur soon, wrote in his letter to Today:

'When I arrived in Singapore, Malaysia-Singapore relations were really at a low. But it was the personalities of Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong which made possible the positive changes that had taken place in the bilateral relations.'

He 'was rather perturbed' by the Today article as it carried quotes which he said 'vilified the character' of Madam Rosmah, and added that 'it was a naughty line to take'.

In a rejoinder published next to Mr Parameswaran's letter, Mr Balji said: 'We will leave it to our readers to judge us on that.'

Now who is the Singaporean agent? You think it's Anwar? The charismatic, strong-willed, ambitious and wily politician who have good ties with leaderships of a dozen countries..or is it Mr. Najib? The cowardly and compromised poltician, with Singapore intelligence holding his balls? You decide, UMNO members.

2008-07-05T13:22:00.000+08:00

To all racists in this blog, here are some racists comments I am making:

1. Since you say all Indians are like the asshole Balasubramaniam is, chew on these:

(i) All 23-year-old Malays who are good looking and soft sell their asses and then tell the whole world they were raped;

(ii) All Malay leaders vying for PMship are sodomites and murderers;

(iii) All the good-looking Malays workinf for Anwar are homosexuals;

(iv) all wives of Umno politicians are potential murderers...

(v) All Malay men are potentially capable of committing incest

And the list goes on..

Come, come you guys. You can't brand the whole community because of one "duressed" idiot. Please don't stereotype because the tit-for-tat thing will never end.

Gandhi, the great Hindu Indian, gave away Pakistan to Muslims. That was great act, although some may refute it.

And do remember, that it wwas and still is mainly Indians and Bhais who are defending Anwar to the core. Keep up the good work Sangkara, Sivarasa, Karpal, Gurbachan, etc etc

As for adun hamidah, she will soon see for herself that "what goes around comes around." What we are witnessing in Umno is just that, they are paying for the sins of 50 years. Shame on them...

now, you not only make us confused with your SD, but i, in particular am not sure whether the following details are the TRUTH:

a) is your name really balasubramaniam a/l Perumal as registered by your parents and exactly spelt out according to that written in your birth certificate issued by jab pendaftaran negara

b)is your nric bears the number600928-08-6235 as expressly stated on the face of your nric and correspond with that written on the back

c) are you really a Malaysian citizen, by law

d) are your sure you are of full age

"ni, yenna la machaaa...yengge solengge??!! stop drinking todi and stout laaa. ni terium maaaa?!!. rascal fler!!"

should there be any more changes, leave the SD alone, change your brain instead.

impliedly, you sound like umno-bn. shabery would be glad to employ you as his assistant.

2008-07-05T13:04:00.000+08:00

Saudara Brew
`When the going gets weird, the weird turns pro,’ so said Hunter “Gonzo Journalist” Thompson (who had the docu-film F**K dedicated to him).

Recent events are simply mind boggling and leaves an ache after the loud guffaw. But what was par excellence was this paradox of whether your DPM had indeed met Saiful! There was a conclusive cynical nod during the latest sojourn, and one lass even mentioned about how some blogger had weeks earlier posted a satrical “The Political Double Talk” prior to this paradigm shift evolution. What a pre-emptive strike!
This bit about SDs whether SD 1, SD 2, SD 3, SD 4… coerce, duress, intimidation, you are dealing with the intelligence community – SB, NSC, NSB, MIO, RIO, FID, ISD or even mayve IUD – and despite being the taekowndo exponent you are professed to be, it would be advisable to refrain engaging or antogonising members of this community. These are amniocentesis experts, and leave no trail behind! Simply take a cue from Indonesia Kontras’ human rights activist Munir Thalib, former KGB/FSBs Litvinenko, journalists Politkovskaya, Guerin, O’Hagan (to name a few). Closer to home, we are told there was this Dr Fernandez, and Free Aceh Movements Teuku Don Zulfahri, Usman Ebrahim & Abdul Wahab. Sifting through archvies for our media development research, noted that none of the MSMs had, to date, put the pieces together which links the three FAM shootings. Or even the latest crackdown in Indonesia on terror suspects, why were some with handcuffed wrists in front while others were cuffed behind. Maybe learning something from the Betancourt rescue in Colombia would give you an insight… how good the unseen faces of the intel community are!
BTW whatever happened to that first SD read out in court during the bail application which mentioned something about five, six or seven killings? The swift police investigation underway into the latest SD leaves a bad taste what with court applications being considered to expunge certain contents of that first SD. If that indeed is possible, why should anyone be perturbed about the latest SDs, simply expunge or plunge.
And now your `Michael Hayden’ comes out with a statement. What with all that intel school training, oaths of secrecy and loyalty, OSA, ISA & MIA… How the MSM even dedicated space in their dailies leaves us bewildered.
The weeks ahead would be much sought for by conspiracy theorists… what with numerous variations making its rounds. Take for example events unfolding in Turkey and Mongolia. Whatever happened to that country’s Jandarma Istihbarat ve Terorle; Emniyet Genel Mudurlugu Istihbarat Daire; or Genelkurmay Istihbarat Baskanlıgı… see what happens when DSAI is provided refuge, cause no matter what your former Foreign Minister says the papers in Turkey reports otherwise or didn’t he realise it. Then, there is this Mongolian issue, so what happened to that country’s GIA that they failed to see problems brewing.
Did you know the Gonzo Journalist once said: “He was one who would shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time." – on Richard Nixon

Rocky,

It seems Anwar is doing a lot of 'bombing' on Najib. He seems to know everything about Najib. Won't be surprised if the bombing on Altan....is initiated by Anwar for his political agenda -of course with the help of the biggest bombing state - USA. USA has been bombing iraq, afghanistan and vietnam. His uncle SAM seems to be always behind him. Terribly possible that the author behind this mess in malaysia is Anwar & uncle SAM.

at 10:32 am

Few observations though:

Since we are talking about two SD, let’s examine certain points.

1. Yesterday, he was all happy and chatted with every journalist, local and foreign.
Today, he refused to talk or take a single question from anyone.

2. Yesterday, his meeting was announced 24 hrs before it was scheduled.
Today’s meeting was in obscure hotel where few journalists were called in.

3. Yesterday, he was a happy man, vety jovial and chattery.
Today, BN newspaper the Star wrote that he “was visibly perturbed”

4. Yesterday, he has informed the people and the journalists who were the people who have jailed him, harassed him, omitted his evidence and maltreated him.
Today, he didn’t say who has forced him. Who has given instructions. Who has mistreated him. He simply refused to talk but run out of the hall visibly disturbed with deep eyes.

5. Yesterday, he didn’t meet the police before he released his SD in front of world media and local as well,
Today (yesterday’s night) he has spent in BrickFields where he was immediately summoned after he has released his SD and was taken to the station by his former lawyer.

6. Yesterday, he has released a comprehensive SD touching on Najib, Musa Safri, Baginda, Police, Prosecution, Witnesses (etc),
Today, he has released the same SD but the parts that referred to Najib removed. All other people were retained. (Ha ha! I wonder who advises these people.)

7. Yesterday, he was a well combed man, with office shirt- and well prepared
Today, he was wearing a dirty T-Shirt with a cap and a was acrrying a plastic bag (black). As his new lawyer talked, he didn’t talk, chat, look up, greet or handshake anyone unlike yesterday.

……..These are simple observations that any intelligent being can pick and realise what’s going on. Furthermore, it is not Bala or Anwar who is in charge of the Defence, Security, Intelligence, Criminal and Justice system of this country but the 3 men accused of conspiracy and evidence manipulation. (Najib, Musa and Patail). You don’t need a child to know who uses force. It is not Anwar who seeks shelter at Embassies fearing for himself but the men who exercise that power over the said institutions.

PS: The Deputy PM doesn’t need Bala to retract any statement which is a perjury now and a criminal act in the penal code. He only needs to file a defamtion suit. Can’t he? If yo are innocent, why trouble yourself with Bala? Just go to the court and said you were defamed and there you go and get your due. When he was asked yesterday, he refused to file a suit, just like he and Rosmah refused to file a defamation suit against Raja Petra. If people are mudslinging you, insulting, incriminating you, and you are innocent, why not seek justice? It is because he knows in courts evidence will be produced and knowing that the Altantuya case has been pre-arranged (we have followed it as a nation), he hopes that by simply denying SDs and refusing to file suits, things will get cooled and he will move on. Heavenly no. Malaysia’s name is at stake. It is not about him, about Anwar or Badawi. It is about this nation and its people.

NB: If he has no confidence in the judiciary of this country by refusing to seek justice at the courts by filing defamation suits against his accusers, who else will trust the regime? The dead? Oh, I’m sorry…we are alive. Thanks to God!

Lovers quarrel
Words of regret
Sound of crying
The neighbors forget

Willing partners
Until cracks appear
Until money plays a role
Relationship turns sour
Just like that

Months and years
Laughing, caressing, tickling
Intimate relationships turn ugly
When money tricks the brain

The Brutus in us
It comes alive suddenly
Smell the mint of fresh money
Life living easily

Who call the ghost busters?
They come knocking on doors
Quickly plan to exit
There is none so they remained

The 3Ps – Power, Projects and Prosperity
It rings every day enticing the mind to stray
Into the world of materialism of doing evil
The demons wait with open arms for them

Yes right you hear it
The power glow in the eyes
Politicians fall for it
So do young people too
Eager for the rich picking
The old just wish them luck
They had been there did that knew it
Only the new circle monkeys
They think they strike gold so easily

2008-07-05T10:35:00.000+08:00

Don't be too quick to criticize Bala. We all sit in the safety & anonymity of our homes eagerly following the news unfolding like a gripping thriller. Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. What would you do if you & your family were threatened?

The damage has been done. The statements by Sivara...

2008-07-05T10:26:00.000+08:00

The damage has been done. The statements by Sivarasa and Americk Singh Sidhu capture the sentiment among the public ie Bala was somehow influenced to retract his earlier SD. Sivarasa says another crime was committed when Bala was influenced to retract his 1st SD.

Politically this retraction by Bala does more damage to Nagib. It also proves the point that despite the 'nice guy' appearance there are substantial forces at work which can help Nagib get out of tricky situations. These forces are of the uniformed variety.

The unprecedented public apprarance by the Director of Military Intel (DMI) to denounce Raja Petra's SD also shows the extent of resources available.

Bala's 1st SD has seriously damaged Nagib. The retraction, obviously under duress, 24 hours later, damages Nagib even more. It also lowers the whole sham another notch to below cartoon and comedy levels.

The fact that Anwar hosted Bala's 1st SD also does not help his situation. Obviously Anwar too is trying his best to divert attention away from the Police report made against him for sodomy which is an offense in Malaysia.

Anwar will be going around the country selling the 'conspiracy' theory again. This time one week after the sodomy report against him, he has at last identified Nagib as the 'enemy of choice'. Last week it was the AG and the IGP.

Anwar says he has found new evidence against the AG and IGP. Todate none of this evidence has been made available. Knowing Anwar's mental capacity, it will probably be another letter or document dug up from somewhere. Recall in the first escapade in the 1990s, there was a letter he forced Ummi Hafilda to sign and then pretended to post it thru the Post Office to Dr M's office?

This time he cannot blame Dr Mahathir, Badawi, Aziz Shamsudin, Rahim Thamby Chik etc. This is a risky manouevre. What if Nagib resigns or disappears from the scene in say a month or two? What if the Police complete their investigations and Nagib, Rosmah and gang are all arrested?

What if the AG and the IGP resign? The sodomy charge against Anwar will still not go away. If Anwar even touched one tiny hair on that boy's ass, he is not likely to escape trial for sodomy.

Here is the main question : why take an unemployed, college dropout on overseas trips just two months after he has become your aide? What sort of aid did the boy perform?
