Bala says no to Singapore rendezvous with MACC
(The Malaysian Insider) – Elusive private investigator P. Balasubramaniam has declined to meet the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Singapore in order to give his testimony about allegations surrounding the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu.
He is the MACC key witness in its investigation into allegations made about the involvement of Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s family in the Mongolian model’s case.
“They (MACC) want to take my client’s testimony at our High Commission in Singapore, but we decline,” said his counsel Americk Sidhu to The Malaysian Insider.
He did not give specific reasons but it is known that Balasubramaniam has made his personal security a prerequisite for his testimony and was unwilling to compromise it.
Americk said his client had other objections too.
“They want to classify all our correspondences as ‘secrets’ under the OSA, which we disagree to, and I am not at liberty to say more until we receive feedback to our letter expressing our disagreement to the conditions they intend to impose on us,” said Americk.
