Anwar: Najib knew Altantuya, alleges former cop

The stakes have just got higher. No, they have shot through the roof!

In a sensational development, Anwar has revealed that a former cop has come up with a statutory declaration implicating Najib and others in the Altantuya case. Former police officer-turned private eye, P Balasubramaniam claimed that it was Najib who introduced Altantuya to Abdul Razak Baginda at a diamond exhibition in Singapore and that the Mongolian woman was promised US$500,000 as commission for a submarine deal in Paris. Balasubramaniam was engaged by Baginda as a private investigator.

If for the last few days the ball was in Anwar’s court with the sodomy allegations, today Anwar has firmly lobbed it back to Najib’s backhand. (Reminds me of the Hindraf demonstrators lobbing the teargas cannisters back to the police. )

If these allegations are true, “Najib is gone,” says my journalist source who was with Anwar at the press conference. “And the government could crumble.”

Doesn’t this make you wonder why Najib and Rosmah didn’t sue Raja Petra? So where does all this leave the Altantuya court case?

“Even Alfred Hitchcock couldn’t top the twists and turns in this political saga,” an analyst told me.

    The sleeping beauty hopes
    The way he plans it works

    Nudge the Brutus to strike
    In his own camp he bids
    The effects land on the waiting line
    Out he goes the next person rides

    Bring up the old issue
    The sleeping beauty knows it works
    Then denying it all the times
    Who wants to know?

    The affected players defend
    Take out horse knights to fight
    The maneuvering in and outside fences
    He sleeps coolly enjoying his game

    When the fiery orator goes on the road shows
    He knows he has got his bearing right
    He needs him to do that
    So when rallies hit up on the streets
    He can use the state emergency law to clamp it down

    Sweet lord of everything
    With one sword he makes his sweep
    Deflecting his antagonists ambitions
    He sips his coffee smiling happily

    The white sheet too is stained
    Of lies, sins and corruptions
    It is written invincible ink
    Of the dirty roads plain for all to see

    The game of chess
    The baiting moves
    Cronies, moles and Trojan horses
    The loopholes
    Ah….the human greed
    Of wealth and living luxuriously
    Deception…..the game of hardcore pr

  8. Wow that’s fast….1 minute the hot news is about Anwar, now it shifted to Najib.

    shouldn’t he be clarifying about his allegations?

    Those people in power is misuting the trusts of the rakyat.

    (Allegedly involved in) Killing people and stealing money?

    They are do-able?

    I believe the report is true, until now the so-called DPM and his lovely wife have not been summoned to appear in court. The court (is perceived to be) protecting them.

    There’s one time that the DPM was staying at a hotel in Port Dickson while listening to Ziana Zain (most probably live or else from the cassette) because she is a very talented singer. I luv her too. DPM and I have the same taste, but I could only listen it through the cassettes or mp3 player.

    Cis….

    If this is going on, I don’t think that any real actions will be taken against those wrong doer. All the right-minded rakyat hope that Anwar will prevail and certainly he will.

    By the way, we would really have to thanks Dr. Mamat because he started the silly sodomy cases against Anwar. Now they continue the part two, continuing his legacy. When the economy is down, the rakyat is susah, the govern don’t bother to cure it but take time to harmer on Anwar. WTF!

    well… well….whose move now?????????? whats a play??? when to see the checkmate move???????

  11. Hello guys,

    Hmm..Anwar had shown his best card for now. Now Najib will have a hard time in dealing with the SD. I wonder will Najib could face the press and talk confidently as usual..or will he just keep quiet and look scared all the way long? Anwar surely had captured everyone’s attention for now. This is too much pressure for the government to hold on.

  12. his boss hold him for ransom, not to kacau his kerusi, that;s why the case prolong in the kangaroo arena.

    Now i begin to trust the police force … I Meant the Ex police .

    Well done, Mr Bala

  13. I sincerely hope Anwar can hold the rein in this very tense scenario. In my opinion, I think we definitely need him to flush out the scums of UMNO, and put the nation in a stable footing. To hell with sodomy, true or not, it’s none of my business.

  14. Now what has Najib got to say? Sue this guy?
    Rosmah said it was a waste of time. Joke isn’t it?
    To clear one’s name no amount of money and time should be spared

    anil,
    Do u have a dog?
    If you have one,can smell c4 loan me one.

    rajraman.Everything exploding in this country.My dream become nightmare.

  16. Oh dear, is this really the end? Just when I was starting to enjoy the show. Nah, can’t be. Judging from experience, this whole thing will blow over in a couple of days, no?

  17. You can actually train some people like you do pets. Only one or two whimpers in the msm on this so far. Let’s see what NTV has to say at eight.

  18. P.s. There’s a flattering picture of the drama queen on the front page of today’s Star. Looks nothing like the person on those photos. Well, I suppose you have to make it a little believable.

  19. LATEST: Najib Says Anwar’s Altantuya Statement is Just to Distract From Sodomy Case

  20. Poor newscaster got her knickers in a twist when she had to mention the Name at the beginning. She was probably so worried that a slip of the tongue might have ended her career right there and then.

    Putting the item at no.4 or 5 didn’t seem to help her nerves either.

  21. What happen to the humble Dotitity Dot, very silent….not suing RPK and hiding behind her great hero DPM. Silence is golden or silence means GUILT?

  22. Najib’s name was not mentioned in China press !

  23. She said, ” I am clean so what is there to address !? I am not a politcian but have many BIG things to do for the country & the people !”

  24. LONG LIVE ANWAR IBRAHIM & THE TRUTH !
    Why don’t the Police question Najib about his role in the Altantuya murder? WHY ? One Law for the Rich & Powerful and One for the Ordinary Citizens ? World is watching !
