The Malaysian police catch up with Bala in Bangkok and ask to meet him. However, they are only interested in talking about the first SD and there is no discussion whatsoever about the second SD. The Malaysian police, therefore, know the truth but chose to bury it rather than take action.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Q 41. Where did you go once you landed in Bangkok?
A. Deepak was supposed to arrange for someone to meet us at the airport but there was no one there. As I was feeling very tired, I hired a taxi to take my family and I to the Shangri La Hotel. We checked in to this hotel and we went to sleep.
Q 42. Did anyone contact you while you were at the Shangri La Hotel?
A. No, because no one knew where we were and I did not have a Thai SIM card so I could not use my hand phone to call anyone.
Q 43. What did you do the next day? (July 5th).
A. I took my wife and children shopping to buy some clothes as we did not have much with us. I also managed to buy a Thai SIM card and communicated with ASP Suresh to inform him where I was.
Deepak had told me that all communication should be through ASP Suresh and that his brother, Rajesh, would be handling everything for me from now on.
Q 44. What did you do the day after that? (July 6th).
A. The Shangri La management informed me the hotel was full that night due to a pre-booked wedding function so we had to leave. I then left and checked in to the Hilton Hotel nearby with my wife and children.
Rajesh had arranged for one of his contacts in Bangkok to assist me and my family in obtaining Indian visas. This contact was a Thai woman who came to the hotel to collect all our passports and the visa fees from me.
Q 45. What happened on July 7th?
A. I received a call in my room from a Special Branch officer. He was calling from the lobby and asked to see me. I then went down to meet him. I recognised him as he used to be a colleague of mine when I was with the Special Branch. He was the liaison officer from the Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok.
Q 46. What did you both discuss?
A. He asked me whether I would give permission for the Malaysian Police to record a statement from me and if I was agreeable, he would inform KL about this. I asked him to wait while I called ASP Suresh to inform him about this development.
Q 47. Did you call ASP Suresh?
A. Yes. ASP Suresh told me exactly what to tell the police interviewers. He wanted me to avoid any mention of the involvement of Deepak, Dinesh and himself.
Q 48. So what did he tell you to say?
A. In short, he basically told me to tell the police that after I had made public my 1st Statutory declaration, I felt remorse and wanted to retract it so I decided to call a lawyer called Arunampalam, who I was supposed to have met through my PI work, and arranged to meet him at the Lotus restaurant next to the Nikko Hotel on Jalan Binjai.
When I met up with him at this restaurant he advised me to retract the 1st statutory declaration and that he would draft a second one for me to that effect. I was supposed to say that I went to his office with him where he prepared the 2nd statutory declaration which I signed and that I went to the Prince Hotel the next day with him to release this statutory declaration to the press.
This is what I was told to say to the police when they recorded my statement, according to ASP Suresh.
Q 49. What did you do next?
A. After discussing this with ASP Suresh, I informed the Special Branch officer from the Malaysian Embassy that I was agreeable to my statement being recorded, so this officer informed KL and told me he would come and pick me up from my hotel the next morning and take me to the Malaysian Embassy. In fact we went out for a meal together that evening.
Q 50. Were you picked up the next morning?
A. Yes, this SB officer came to the hotel the next morning and drove me to the Malaysian Embassy where we arrived at about 9.00 am. At about 9.30 am, 3 police officers arrived. They had apparently flown to Bangkok from KL the evening before once they had received confirmation that I was prepared to allow them to record a statement from me.
Q 51. Did you recognise any of these police officers?
A. Yes, there was ACP Muniandy from the Commercial Crimes division of Bukit Aman, another Indian officer and a Malay officer, whose names escape me at the moment.
Q 52. How did they greet you?
A. They were all very pleasant to me. ACP Muniandy asked me which of the two statutory declarations was true and I said the 1st one. He then shook my hand and told me I was a very brave man.
Q 53. Did they record your statement?
A. Yes. They questioned me for about 6 hours. They did not seem to be interested in my 2nd statutory declaration and concentrated their questions in relation to my 1st statutory declaration.
They wanted to know who was involved in it and how I was led into making it.
I explained everything to them from the time I met my lawyer Americk Sidhu in a pub one night with ASP Suresh, M. Puravalen and Sivarasah Rasiah in April or May 2008 up to the time of my first press release.
ACP Muniandy was the officer asking all the questions while his colleague recorded my statement.
Q 54. Did they comment on anything you told them?
A. No. I just repeated what ASP Suresh had told me to tell them about the circumstances which prompted me into affirming the 2nd statutory declaration and they recorded all of it.

Instead of providing a transcript of the interview, why don't you at the same time publish the video of the interview on You Tube for posterity ? It's ok if the video is in short clips.

Does this meaning that he believes "Malaysians have very short memories"?
Or is he a great actor too?

All these expose is NOT going to do anything in bringing the culprit to book. I repeat nothing is going to happen. After a while it's all going to die down and forgotten. You can bet your bottom dollar nobody, including UMNO/BN, Police, AG and yes the royalty too, are just going to pretend nothing has happened.
The alternative media (on the net), the opposition, and the rakyat can make as much noise as possible but it's all going to fall on deaf ears of the government.
NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
Can't you see that the entire Malaysian government and all its institutions are corrupt to the core and they are collectively hiding everything.
And I appeal to all decent rakyat: If we are serious in returning justice to our country there is only one avenue. The current government has to GO!!!
Contemplate for a moment on this and think. Stop being emotional and be objective. What I am saying is the truth. There is just no any recourse for justice in Malaysia if you happen to be on the wrong side of the fence politicially. The powers that are in those who run the country is frighteningly unlimited.
Say, Bala physically comes back. He lands in KLIA. He would be immediately arrested. He would be forced to deny all he has said. Or worse he would just be bumped off. And then what? You go to make a police report and expect the police to investigate? Do you take the case to court and expect the Judge to be impartial? Do you expect the AG to be impartial? You scream for a royal commission? What happened to all those royal commission in the past? Remember them? What were the outcomes and actions taken?
So, fellow rakayt, we are all basically good in our heart regardless of what race we are and of what religious faith we belong to. We know what is right and what is evil. Our faith teaches us that, and our parents teach us that.
This Altantuya murder should cross all racial and religious divide. Let us all get united on this cause alone, and kick UMNO/BN out once and for all.
As a first step get all eligible voters to register themselves; and make sure that the Altantuya tragedy is dessiminated to all rakyat.
This shall be my top priority for my contribution to my country.

We know that you do have some pictures (Najib & Altantuya). Pls help us by giving us a copy of those pictures to help us to put the RIGHT thing in the RIGHT places. Deep inside our heart we are able to differentiate what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. We do teach our children that. Pls help us and you can smile even when you die!
We know you can do it, you can even do it better.
Rgds.

"Outside, the moon is still shining bright in Putrajaya"....
and the reflections of the moonlight and it's shadow on the lakes of Putra Jaya and it's waters gives a hint of what to come and the tranquility there suddenly turn choppy and the waters in the lake turn into 10 meter height Tsunami waves that hit Jibby and fat lady @ Sri Perdana residence in Putra Jaya that was built by the lakeside... All is not LOST, stay cool.....
No matter how Jibby tried to sleep, the images keeps coming back to haunt him, especially how the big mama had dictated his life so far, how he had been ridiculed, spit upon, look down and embarrassed by the women he thought he loved.... he went to next the room and began to lie down again. He began to think about all the agony and suffering he is facing now. How could all these had happened, since today is not like yesteryears, he is now the pm, the all powerful and mighty where all heads of department had to do his bidding.
All these wouldn’t have happened if he didn't listen to the fat lady, the commissions from the purchase of the submarines should be paid (only USD 500K commission’s la). She spends more on watches on her trip to Hong Kong. Commission’s means after I screwed her with empty promises and then she came back for her commission means that I have to get my best friend, Baginda to take the shit. But little did I know, he ran away chickened out to UK to study the so called stupid PHD... I help him to make hundreds of millions and ini macam punya kawan pun boleh... tak loyaI .. introduced my gal to him and let him after he f..k her, I let him arranged my purchase of submarines and I paid him commissions.. this is all I get after stabbing everyone in their back, he thought with a sense of regret…
As Jibby still try to sleep and still counting sheeps, the fat lady in the other room is thinking about the carpetman cum toyboy, why he did not do as instructed, why treat me like this, now with the expose, the whole world knew, it’s on the internet and You Tube...... she had a good cry and as her love for the toyboy turn to HATE, she was wondering why, why and why... I had grown to love him as he is more handsome that Shah Rukh Khan that get a datukship from Melaka and her toyboy is supposed to get one next year and her plan now is in ruins..now that all the revelations is on Internet news and blogs... all these is giving her sleepless night and she blame Jibby for that,,,,
Meanwhile Jibby is sweating and turning in his bed, even it's raining outside, considering that one is dead, blown up by C4, another on the way is dead... ohh.. that bad, is it a dream or nightmare?? Jibby thought ... .
Now, the fat lady getting on my nerves, especially when she taunt me about her carpet toy boy lover... No, I will SURVIVED, must do and survive all this shit.... so Jibby thought…that's why I can't sleep...
And the saga continues…..

Najib must be seen to be truthful and accountable in his statement. He is the Public Servant No. 1 in the country, and we the taxpayers deserve his being subject to total scrutiny and above board over his governance of this nation's administration.
The international community and commonwealth of nations expect the PM to demonstrate his integrity and repute in administrating a country according to democratic principles devoid of corruption and malfeasance.
RPK must continue to be reveal the truth of this scandalous and despicable murder.

Jibby now fully awake on the couch. Big Fat Mama was still turning and twisting on the bed. Jibby could hear Big Fat Mama murmuring something in her sleep. . ., it was very vague. Something that sounded like, “deyyyfakkkk, deyyyfakkkk, deyyyfakkkk,. . .”.
Damn! Jibby thought, she was dreaming about her toyboy again. I had better sleep in the other room. Jibby found another cot in the next room and began to lie down again. He began to think that all the agony he was facing now would not have happened if there was no “commission” from the purchase of the submarine using the peoples’ money. No “commission” means no bogus company. No bogus company means no that Baginda chap. No that Baginda chap means no Mongolian lady. No Mongolian lady means. . .. His mind was constantly working as if he was counting sheep before sleeping. Well, he tried counting sheep before. But every time he passed the 30th sheep, he saw the sheep grazing on the Mongolian steppe. And on the grass knoll of the Mongolian steppe again that Mongolian lady will show up with the infant in her arms.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur, DeyFcuk was still cursing thinking of the day when Big Fat Mama steps in his shop. He wishes that the particular day did not happen. DeyFcuk was thinking all the money his Sugarmama laundered in his company is of no use now. No amount of money could compensate if it was made known that he was the protagonist in spiriting Bala out of the country. But worst of all, no amount of money could compensate if it was made known he was the toyboy for Big Fat Mama. Surely, the Malaysian public would ridicule him. Oh! how could he face his friends? He was thinking of migrating to India. Hmmnnn…, he thought, "I’d prefer something like AshweraRai than that “fat cow”!
Back in Putrajaya. . .,
“Did you cut of the leash from the bed post”, Big Fat Mama was now standing above Jibby looking very menacing. “Now go back to the room and don’t you ever dare to cut the leash again”!
Outside, the moon is still shining bright in Putrajaya.
(The above short story is only fiction. It has nothing to do with the living or the dead)

As poor Altantuya , working your arse off day as well as nights translating shit for a mere uncollectable USD 500K.
As the Jelapang woman , prostituting your principles for a cool RM 5 million.
As the snoopy Bala, flip flopping the SDs for a quick RM 5 million.
As the honourable RPK, trying his very best to dig us all out of the shit pit that we are in with just fresh air and sunshine.
No need to decide on any choices above. Just dig into those shallow pockets of yours and surrender your ransomed fortune of RM 20 as subscription fees for the cause you believe in. If each and everyone do your part with parting with the cost of a good solid RM 20 meal to Malaysia Today , then we can out-match those RM 5 mil bundles they are throwing out to greedy and sinister characters out there.
Just think about it please ! Hurry off to the nearest public bank near you and drop off your load without any any more delay as TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME !
