Is Najib fit to lead Malaysia?

The plot thickens right on the heels of Rosmah's denial that she is involve in the Altantuya murder case as stated by Raja Petra Kamarudin in his statutory declaration where he named Najib's wife Rosmah Mansor as being directly involved in the Mongolian's death.Najib denied his wife's involvement and Rosmah followed suit. Najib has always denied any involvement in the Altantuya murder case and made it clear that he did not know Altantuya even when his name was mentioned by the murdered Mongolian's cousin during questioning in court.

Najib was never investigated but always held suspect.

In a previous post I questioned whether Najib is innocent. The trial has raised too many questions and most point back to Najib. Apart from the occasional denials and assurance from Pak Lah, we are fed, by main stream media, with the idea that Najib is clean. But mere denials only leave the door open for inference and speculation on his role in the Altantuya murder. Until and unless Najib is truly investigated and cleared can we say, without any shadow of a doubt, that he is innocent. When he was given the chance to submit himself to investigation, it was engineered that he wouldn't. Now it seems, Najib will finally be investigated.

Najib is now feeling the heat with the explosive statutory declaration by Balasubramaniam the former private investigator employed by Razak Baginda to look out for Altantuya when she was in Kuala Lumpur.

Among the claims of Balasubramaniam as reported on Malaysiakini:

Selain maklumat tersebut, dakwa Balasubramaniam lagi, penganalisis politik yang dekat dengan pemimpin negara itu juga memberitahunya:
* Najib memaklumkan kepada majikannya itu bahawa mereka berdua pernah melakukan hubungan seks.

* Oleh sebab beliau sekarang timbalan perdana menteri, Najib meminta Abdul Razak menjaga Altantuya agar wanita berkenaan tidak mengacaunya.

* Ketiga-tiga mereka – Najib, Abdul Razak dan Altantuya - didakwa pernah makan malam bersama di Paris.

* Altantuya menuntut wang komisyen sebanyak US$500,000 daripadanya berhubung pembelian kapal selam Malaysia di negara itu.

According to the statutory declaration by Balasubramaniam, Najib not only knew the Mongolian, he knew her on an intimate level. If true, then this supports RPK's declaration that Rosmah was involve personally in the Mongolian's demise.


There is clear motive for Rosmah to be involve personally with Altantuya especially with the revelation that Altantuya was formerly Najib's lover and that Razak Baginda was instructed by Najib to "support" her financially. Najib's involvement is heavy in the Altantuya murder, for it seems clear now that he could be the one given the instructions in the background.

We could speculate that it gives enough reason for Rosmah to obtain C4 and blow up the poor Mongolian. And we all wondered why C4 was used or why blow up a dead woman? Crimes of passion sometimes defy simple logic because they are motivated by emotions and this case jealousy and anger are strong enough emotions.

Would the police investigate the allegation in Balasubramaniam's statutory declaration? Would we see an investigation that is not tainted by hidden instructions from those in the halls of power?

Would the heir apparent, Pak Lah's successor to the premiership be investigated?

Pak Lah has given his statement that he believes Najib is not involve in the Altantuya case.

This new revelation that Najib (true or not) is involve would only mean Pak Lah is either lying or ignorant to what happens around him. Again it shows how messed up the government of Malaysia is and regardless of the outcome, we would start questioning - "Is Najib fit to lead Malaysia?"

Trust No One - Do We Trust The Police, Judges or Government?

Fox Mulder from the greatest series to grace our screens in the early 90s, The X-Files had a catch phrase that holds true until today. TRUST NO ONE. The whole show was a big question to the American people - Do You Trust Your Government?

I ask this same question for Malaysians today - DO YOU TRUST YOUR GOVERNMENT?

One does not need much brain power to deduce the fishy stench from this sordid affair.

How could Mohd. Saiful afford to stay in a luxury condominium as reported by Malaysiakini?

Dalam satu laporan polis Sabtu lalu, beliau didakwa melakukan kesalahan itu terhadap pembantu di pejabatnya itu - Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan - di Unit 1151 kondominium tersebut pada 26 Jun lalu.

Bilik kondominium itu dipercayai dihuni oleh Saiful.

The condo goes for RM7,500 to RM15,000 a month. This Saiful is 23, university drop-out and yet can stay in a condo?

Saiful is 23, yet was able to be overpowered by a much older man, who has a back injury. I would love to know what Anwar Ibrahim is eating because whatever it is, gives him near super-human strength. Either that or this Saiful is one poor excuse for a man.


Pak Lah and Najib has denied any involvement from the government and yet leaves it to the Police to decide. Denials and washing hands is the order of the for the current BN. Don't they realize that the rakyat finds it really hard to trust anything they say? I like what RPK had to say about the whole "We are not responsible" bit.

Kudos to the police for their reaction time. Any report with ANWAR IBRAHIM stamped on it would mean next day action. Notice how fast everything fell into place with even the AG getting involve in record time. We should note all this in the Malaysian Book of Records. All in the span of less than 5 days we have a full blown investigation. Did you noticed the Forensic truck (which could double as an ice-cream truck) rolling into the condo grounds? Cool! Let's hope CSI Malaysia would be the next show to hit the tele because their response time is almost on par with CSI Las Vegas, Miami or New York.

Can we really trust the Police for a transparent investigation or the Courts for a fair trial?

"Yang saya bimbang ini adalah kepimpinan polis yang saya pertikaikan kerana saya ada bukti betapa Tan Sri Musa Hassan dan (Tan Sri Abdul) Gani Patail terlibat dalam perencanaan jahat, merekayasa atau memberikan fakta palsu dalam kes-kes (perbicaraan saya) terdahulu," tambahnya.

Looks like we will be entertained to a full sandiwara, in the coming weeks. Anwar Ibrahim would reveal his evidence and the Police and Courts would do a tag-team with the Government to push Anwar into the Twilight Zone. Its all a game to these people. A game where the winners are few but the losers are the people of Malaysia.

While these people play run-around-the-mulberry-bush with investigations, law suits and denials; the message sent across is that the Malaysian government of 2008 is a seriously sick government. It has failed the people of Malaysia. Would changing the government make any difference? I don't think so because the Police and Courts are equally as sick as the Government. Changing government merely solves 1/3 of the problem. The other 2/3 needs to be address too. The three are in a cohort to protect each others grip on power. Bringing down one would not be enough.

In truth, the political scene in Malaysia is so messed up it is better that we did not have a government at all. Install full power to the monarchy and allow the rakyat to decide base on referendums. The rakyat has lost trust in the current institutions of this country. It is time ,the rakyat trust itself and make a stand. Not a stand for any political entity but a stand for the people of Malaysia.

Fox Mulder was assigned a basement office and if you walk into it, you will see just behind his deck a poster with a UFO that has the wordings, "I WANT TO BELIEVE". I want to believe Malaysia would be strong. I want to believe we would be protected by our government. I want to believe I can get a fair trial.

But at this moment, I wonder if that belief is merely wishful thinking.
