Zaid says RPK, Bala free due to Najib’s fear
Pakatan Rakyat (PR) secretariat chief Datuk Zaid Ibrahim today said the police are not interested in arresting fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin and private investigator P. Balasubramaniam because the prime minister is afraid of the duo.
Both Raja Petra and Bala have linked the prime minister to the murder of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu in late 2006. Najib has denied the allegation.
“It’s been 12 months since the prime minister gave his vote of confidence to the police force; however, we see no action from them,” the former Umno minister said in a posting on his blog.
He also agreed with Umno Youth leader Khairy Jamaluddin who has taunted the police force for not doing their best in arresting RPK who, he said, “is blatantly walking the streets of London unharassed”.
“Bala is leaving for Paris next week to meet French investigators. Why is our police team hesitating in meeting him?” Zaid asked.
Zaid also alleged that the police have met Bala in Bangkok but are keeping mum about the meeting.
