The Altantuyaa Stat Dec (1)

Even though statutory declaration (SD) as a legislative apparatus exists for eons, most Malaysians only became aware of it when RPK posted his famous or infamous SD on Shariibuu Altantuyaa and Rosmah Mansor in mid 2008, to the utter delight of PKR. Unfounded allegations have it that bathrooms of some PKR members were occupied for hours that night, wakakaka.


Right from that very start, I've never found the contents of RPK's declarations a la 'I have been reliably informed .....' plausible.

But then I suppose I have been one of the few who found the assertions quite implausible perhaps in a small way due to my lack of feral animosity or antipathy towards Najib Razak but more because of my inability to absorb the ridiculous picture of Rosmah Mansor in her high heels, birkin bag, expensive dress and beehive hairdo trekking in the mosquito-infested blukar to just witness a gruesome act, that of blasting Altantuyaa to smithereens with C4.

Why would she? And what was Altantuyaa's connection with Najib other than what we were informed by Perumal Balasubramaniam's SD which was released in a press conference, now get this, spearheaded by none other than Anwar Ibrahim.

Apart from Balasubramaniam's SD, was there any indication of Altantuyaa in a closed relationship or contact with Najib? OK, if you're desperate for evidence in this respect, yes, you can use Tian Chua's photoshop nonsense, wakakaka.

But the FACT has been that there was NOT one single evidence of direct connection between Altantuyaa and Najib, other than via Razak Baginda.

In 2008 I had then written in a post about RPK's SD, in which I provided a case of SD by politicians in Australia, in which I said:

But if you read the [Australian] declarations they were couched in terms like “I recall …” and "I would not have said those words because it has always been my belief …”.

Tap dancing through the tulips.

Other useful dancing phrases would be “To the best of my recollection …”, “I was informed by my staff …”, “According to departmental briefings …”, “At that time, this was the information I was provided with …”, etc.

So, in reality a Stat Dec is not necessarily 100% fire-proof evidence but it certainly carries a powerful sheen of authority, and serves certain purpose, like (as mentioned) substituting for the original but lost documentary evidence such as a lost birth/death certificate.

Let’s examine RPK’s Stat Dec – see copy here as provided by Malaysiakini.

Therein, RPK declared “I have been reliably informed …” four times whilst saying “… I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true …”

In other words he was told by someone, hearsay evidence so to speak.

But of course RPK more importantly also declared: “I have knowledge of who has informed me of this matter plus I have knowledge of the Ruler who has been briefed and is aware of the matter but I have agreed that I shall not reveal this information other than mention that the Prime Minister and his son-in-law have been handed a written report confirming what I have revealed.”

… though he asserted in his Stat Dec he will not reveal who his informer has been nor the Ruler who was privy to the shocking allegation of Rosmah Mansor being at the crime scene to witness the C4 explosives being placed on the corpse of Shariibuu 
Altantuyaa.

Who told him is now irrelevant as we know that RPK is brave if not anything, thus we may expect him to observe the promised (but seemingly selective) sealed lips. He is a man prepared to go to jail again, though I suspect he must have sensed that the PM or DPM will ignore his taunting Stat Dec to prevent him from expanding on the scandal.

And has he been telling the truth?

I believe so, to the extent as he had enunciated in the Stat Dec, to wit, that he has been reliably ‘informed’ by someone (whom we will never know), and that he wanted to reveal what he personally believed to be 'evidence' to assist the police in the case.

Of course we Malaysians love to and can speculate on the ID of the informer, by a process of intelligent elimination - eg. could it be a Ruler or a police insider? - or by giving our prejudice or conspiracy-theory inclinations full free and unfettered reins - or, could it be Tian Chua … wakakakakaka, KJ ;-) or even the ghost of Altantuyaa?

However, I have to admit I find the idea of the wife of a DPM who would turun padang to supervise or witness the placement of C4 on Altantuyaa's corpse, rather bizarre and, frankly, quite implausible.

But then, I am sure there will be those who believe (or want to believe) that's exactly right up her alley. And indeed, who am I to assert they're wrong to do that?

In fact I had then also commented that I couldn't help but wonder whether this is part of the GAN campaign (ANC in English) to keep the Altantuyaa-rised ‘rage’ against Najib blazing ... at that time when a university don had forecasted that PKR planned 4 or 5 more by-elections in constituencies where PKR had at least a 70% surety level of victory.

As I'm known to be biased against the deformasi party, wakakaka, I said that if the uni don's forecast was true, then PKR had been into deplorable disruptive destabilizing destructive politics - also see my poem Murdering Altantuyaa Shaariibuu Again.

Later I was to learn from RPK's posts that it was part of a black ops plan to stop Najib from beocming the DPM (to AAB) because a couple of other guys had ambitions to that position,wakakaka, and that those two were the instigators and promoters, directly or indirectly through their aides/supporters, of RPK's SD. One of them and his cohorts continued with subsequent campaigns along the same vein.




Very touching but what about Malaysians Preeshena Varshiny and Nurin Jazlin Jazimin? By the by, I hope, dear readers, as Malaysians you would still remember who Preeshena Varshiny and Nurin Jazlin Jazimin were!

Yes, as we can witnessed from the above two photos, poor Mongolian Altantuyaa was not even allowed to rest in peace

Since then, in recent times, RPK has decided to reveal more. He asserted that he had never claimed Rosmah did what was narrated in his SD, and that he made that SD because he wanted to reveal what he personally believed to be 'evidence' to assist the police in the case.

As I recall it, he had previously said certain people urged him to make that SD. One of them was an aide to Ku Li, a bloke with a Chinese name (can't remember his name), and that story was apparently okayed by Anwar Ibrahim as reliable, through Din Merican, our DJ blogger.

Back then TMI had reported:

RPK, who went on the lam last month after failing to turn up in court for his sedition trial, further claims that he had checked with an aide of Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah on the information provided by Lt Kol Azmi.

An aide to Tengku Razaleigh confirmed to The Malaysian Insider today that the Kelantan prince had been told the same story by Lt Kol Azmi which allegedly links Datin Seri Rosmah and the murder of Altantuya, the Mongolian mistress of Abdul Razak Baginda, a close associate of the Prime Minister.

But he pointed out that “many people come and tell us stories.” In his blog, RPK goes on to allege that a man working for Tengku Razaleigh persuaded him to put down the allegations in a statutory declaration.

Then the real gem of RPK's story. Malaysiakini reported:

According to Raja Petra, he had also sought help from a few other people to vouch for Lt Kol Azmi’s credibility, among them PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim through his aide, Din Merican.

Yesterday, in his new post KU LI IS MAHATHIR’S NEW SCAPEGOAT OR ‘KAMBING HITAM’ RPK wrote:

Then, after the 2008 general election, Mahathir did a u-turn and chose Najib instead. And that was when Ku Li’s man, Nik Azmi Nik Daud a.k.a. Bul, came out that the brilliant idea of a Statutory Declaration to link Rosmah to Altantuya’s murder in the hope that this would screw Najib’s chances of becoming Prime Minister.

The saddest part of the Altantuyaa tragedy has been the politically selfish and cruel exploitations of her macabre murder, which inspired me to pen my poem Murdering Altantuyaa Shaariibuu Again. Extracts as follows:

But the loudest noises are they calling for ‘justice’
Though, I smile cynically, ‘twas not meant for me
Their shrill proclamations & belated outrage (sigh)
Startled even great Gujir Tngri and the 77 siqar

Grandstanding acrobatics, their excuse to dispense
With all norms, purportedly all for me (wry smile)
I must confess I view with scepticism and distaste
As I would professional chest-pounding mourners

Gnashing Colgate mint-flavoured peroxide-d teeth
Wretchedly wringing manicured Ulan oiled hands
Shedding date-expired plastic bags of lo-salt tears
Proclaiming to be 11th hour paragons of ‘justice’

[...]
The ancient pair could see abacus shaped hearts
Clicking furiously and shaming Casio calculators

By sheer speed of their computation of advantage
What to extract, exploit, extricate from my name
Squeezing the very last speck of desiccated blood
From my hyper cold shattered fragments of bones

Eager hands raided the ossuary for me to be laid
As stepping stones for the progress of a demigod
[...]

As the pseudo-pious pirouetting pachyderm crushes
What little good left of my name, what trust exists
In my family’s hope for requital of my cruel murder
I realize those raucous battle cries were not for me

This is the first in my series of re-visiting and re-evaluating the stories on SD, including and especially those of Perumal Balasubramaniam.

  1. Wordsmiths at work, with pays...wakakaking

    One trying hard to raise anti ChinaBeng sentiment amongs the first-among-equal to orchestrate a trying win for ahjibgor to stay in power.

    The other is tackling a horrendous murder basing on Watson's logic, without the help of A Christie's analysis skill!

    The 1st case is a goner due to a busted megalomaniac with nth power wounded pride.

    What's creating much perspiration in the 2nd case is the transparency of that proverbial pink elephant in the China room - motive, motive & MOTIVE.

    The court was not willing to recognise the existence of this pink elephant, & WHO r u to trying so hard to introduce a lab mice to colour over this murder.

    Moreover, what's yr motive ( wakakaka) for doing so? Be a do-gooder to clean ahjibgor's splashed color dots???? Then, why? Have him done any Samaritan's work with yr kindreds, so u have to reply in kind???

    Do enlighten us with yr skill in story telling. Hopefully, it would be as entertaining as yr biblical thrashing tales.....wakakaka

    1. Firstly, evidence against Najib? mananya? C'mon lah, jangan cakap sj - talk is cheap

      Now, do you realize you have been worse than the bad kaytee (moi, wakakaka) you've complained about by not presenting any shred of evidence but just mumbling about pink elephants, wakakaka - give us more, tell us about evidence linking Najib to the murder of Altantuyaa

      Secondly, on motive please read my two pieces posted in 2012, namely:

      (a) The motives of love, lust, lucre and loathing - http://ktemoc.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/motives-of-love-lust-lucre-and-loathing.html

      I was not kind to the judge who said motive was nto necessary

      (b) Motive to murder - seeking Confucius' help - http://ktemoc.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/motive-to-murder-seeking-confucius-help.html

      I provided a likely motive for the murder though of course it didn't/doesn't meet the wish of PKR people, wakakaka

      Note: though in this (the second link) post I've made the same mistake as many others in posting photos which were not of Altantuyaa (but a Korean model) I believe those photos served the same purpose in helping readers reach the same line of thought and thus the same verdict as I had, vis-a-vis the motive for those 2 policemen murdering Altantuyaa

    2. So, my talk is cheap, what about yrs? Cast in philosopher's gold, just like yr half-anmoh pal???

      Let see this cheap-shot of likely motive for the murder though of course it didn't/doesn't meet the wish of PKR people (BTW most of the M’sians) in 'The motives of love, lust, lucre and loathing';

      How easily could an untrained personnel handled C4? Ooop..both of them r special police task force, trained to handle C4 with the initiator. Wakakakaka...hello there.. even in military operation ONLY selected & specially trained personnel is ALLOWED to handle C4. C4 is a stuff way way out of the M'sian police operation. Check this with yr uncle lahhhh.

      Then, there is the timing of getting the C4. Do u think yr grandmother has it under her pillow, the moment she wants to use it. Just like when Azilah and Sirul decided to blow Altantuyaa to kingdom come, so C4 it’s that was kept handily under their car seat.

      The half-anmoh tried to argue about getting the C4 from Thailand…wakakakaka…ya loh the Thai could do wonder in teleporting the C4 to Azilah and Sirul that night at Puncak Alam.

      Now about the escaping of Sirul to Oz – u r giving too much credit to an idiot, who couldn’t fathom the consequences of their action in killing Altantuyaa. More so using C4.

      His escaping is orchestrated by whosoever that order the murdering, knowing he wouldn’t go quietly to the gallows. His recent erratic mind/action is proven by the many sub-plays in show now. Clever by half, possibly through the help of some legal vulture!

      So, anymore Watson’s logic??

      Here’s an A Christie twist for u to sleep on;

      Who did Azilah and Sirul serve? Razak Baginda? Who he was that could command the help of police special task force personnel. Then, Azilah's and Sirul's direct superior, Lieutenant Colonel Musa Safri, why was he involved? As a trained police officer, he should know the chain of commands, right? Razak Baginda has no authority over him, not even friend-friend deal. All road leads to Rome… yes? Isnt this the colour dots splashed all over on ahjibgor? Most of all why the AG, the judge refused to open this line of investigation further?

      Enough homework for u to make yr wordsmith worth the time & money, wakakakaka…

    3. tsk tsk, full of racist abuses and speculations, and where's Najib's motive?

      Delete
    4. Racist abuses?????

      Where? How??

      Or r u losing yr wordsmith's touch in semantic???

      More likely, trying to display yr skill of semantic mis-representation to argue yr way out - just like yr half-anmoh teammate so provisionally executed in many of his articles, no?????

      There is no lowest level than where both of u r now - keep wakakaking lah. U need it to be able to sleep soundly.

      WRT yr idiot's motive, wakakaka.... how could that motive be established when ANY investigations along that line were torpedoed, short-changed & kangkarooed???

      Seems like u don't even have a slight idea of what's Watson's logic. My fault for giving u the benefit of doubt. But then some low-life can easily exhibit top class shiwmanship worthy of many oscars in the face of few pounds of silver, right?

    5. CK, it's DSP Musa Safri (equivalent to rank of major in the armed forces). btw, does anybody know the whereabouts of the husband & wife lt.kol as their names were briefly mentioned in the case, sudah pencen atau naik pangkat?

  2. I don't claim to have any more information than is publically available on the Altantuya case.

    However, I don't trust one bit the Stage Show Wayang that has been played out in the Malaysian courts for public consumption.

    The Deliberately Incompetent prosecution of Razak Baginda, essentially allowing a guilty man to get away scot free. The speed with which the AG declined to pursue the case further.

    The refusal to call as a court witness Azilah's and Sirul's direct superior on Najib's protection detail, Lieutenant Colonel Musa Safri.

    How Altantuya's cousin, on attempting to leave Malaysia , found that both Altantuya and her immigration records of entering Malaysia "did not exist".
    Anybody with half a brain would understand that a foreigner with no record of immigration entry becomes a Non-Existent Person in the country. If you don't exist, there is no such murder case, right ? At most it becomes a diplomatic dispute with Mongolia, an unimportant country.

    Most unfortunately somebody made a police report of the explosion that night at Puncak Alam. One thing led to another until there was no carpet big enough in Malaysia to sweep it under.

    How did Sirul , no doubt declared innocent by the Court of Appeals, still facing the possibility of a Death Sentence should the Federal Court overturned the finding, end up being "allowed" to fly to Australia, a country well known for its refusal "on principle" to honor any extradition request that involved or could potentially involve the Death Penalty ?

    None of the questions above involve believing PI Bala or anyone from PKR.

    1. I reckon the escape of Sirul would be far more dangerous for the conspirators, assuming there are those. On this premise I believe the escape was not planned by the alleged conspirators (otherwise both the policemen would have gone) but a clever move by Sirul himself

      in fact, Sirul now holds the advantage to a certain degree - regardless of who was involved, he can sell himself and his story (bullshit or true) to anti Najib forces or threaten Najib for a tidy sum

    1. that's what I mean 'by murdering Altantuyaa again and again' for their unscrupulous opportunistic political agenda - does anyone for a moment believe they care for the dead woman?

      Delete
  6. I think this case hinges on the reason why Altantuya's body was strapped in C4 explosives and blown apart to smithereens. Almost all murders don't happen this way. She could easily have been buried, or, as happened to one public prosecutor, put in an oil can and dumped in a river. If one can come up with a good rationale for the use of C4, one can come up with a likely scenario for the murder. The suggestion that it is because she was carrying a special baby that they need to dispose of makes sense. And whose baby could that be? If it was Razak Baginda's baby, who cares? Doesn't affect the conclusion if she's murdered with his baby. But if the baby belongs to Jibby, they sure need to get rid of the body because DNA analysis can reveal the father.

    1. I too am a conspiracy theorist, wakakaka.

      There are two issues associated with teh Altantuyaa's murder, namely:

      Who murdered her, which includes the question 'who might have been behind it'?

      and

      Has PKR been exploiting her murder for political gains, which includes the question on the veracity of the SD of one sole man, P Balasubramaniam?

      Delete
    2. Use logic to figure out the reason for use of C4 explosives in a murder - don't need a conspiracy theory. As for the death of PI Bala, said to be due to a 'heart attack', attributing it to murder is a conspiracy theory at this time.
