Should not guilt be proven instead?
Salleh Said Keruak
This is what Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today regarding the Al-Jazeera documentary on the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu:
“Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has to clear our name and not simply claim that it was released to subvert the government.”
“Proof must be given that the murder, cover-up, the police involvement were not true and that Abdul Razak Baginda was in no way guilty of the terrible crime.”
“Merely saying that it’s not true may convince some Malaysians. However, the majority and foreigners will not be convinced.”
“It’s not pleasant to be told that the Prime Minister of Malaysia may be involved in murder.”
First of all, the court has already tried this case and has come out with its verdict. Is Dr Mahathir saying that the Malaysian courts cannot be trusted and that Malaysian judges are crooked? If not why is Dr Mahathir questioning the court and is insinuating that the court is not honest, which actually tantamount to contempt of court.
