Altantuya Case - Latest Allegations against Najib




I have stated in my earlier article that if Najib is to become the Prime Minister of this country, Najib must clear his name on this issue and that is, to take RPK to court and sue him for all he is worth, instead of locking him up under the ISA.

He (Najib) has to take a leaf from our neighbours, Lee Kuan Yew & son, they never leave stone unturned when an allegation is made against them, that is - to protect the sanctity of the office they hold.

Najib has reportedly sworn his innocence in the Altantuya case, and is even reported to have sworn in a Mosque during the Permatang Pau election campaign.

The Altantuya Shaariibuu case is now back in the news and, Najib is alleged to have had a string of SMS between himself and Muhammad Shafee Abdullah over a period of nearly one month, starting from Nov 8 to Dec 2, 2006, regarding Abdul Razak Baginda and the murder trial.

"The text messages were transmitted between Najib's personal mobile phone (+6012 2143177) and Shafee's mobile phone (+6012 3257052)."



The following is taken from an article in Malaysikini, reporting on an article from Malaysia Today - RPK's blog.

One of the text messages allegedly sent by Najib said that Razak “will face a tentative charge but all is not lost.”

The article went on to question: “This message raises a lot of questions about Najib's role in this case. Why did he mention ‘tentative’ charge and that ‘all is not lost’ for Razak Baginda? How would Najib know this before Razak was charged? Is there already a deal in place that will see Razak aquitted?

Not being a Muslim, I must ask; 'Is alleging that he has insulted Islam and locking him away without the benefit of a trial in accordance with Syraiah or Islamic principles?' I think not. I'll stand corrected if I am wrong. The whole episode just does not look right.

A lady is murdered and her body allegedly blown up to pieces using C4 explosives.

Her immigration records erased, who will have the authority to do such a thing?

The Minister of Home affairs and his superiors I presume. Can it be investigated? Has it been investigated? The Home Minister at that time was Radzi, a lawyer by profession too, will he shed some light?

An ex-cop involved in this case makes a statutory declaration alleging Najib's involvement, following which he gets called by the police, reports to the Police station, does not return home, makes another statutory declaration to the contrary, holds a "Press Conference" during which only Bernama was present and goes "missing."



A blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin, who has been writing on this case, who has been making all sorts of allegations, and challenging Najib to take him on has been locked up under the ISA.

A prominent Political leader who has been harping on this issue is being charged for an act of homosexuality.

The police involvement in all this that is, the murder, the missing cop,considering that he went missing after he reported to the station, the sensational arrest of Anwar Ibrahim, the locking of Raja Petra under the ISA are all cause of concern.

Have the police in all their investigations looked into the allegations of Raja Petra Kamaruddin? And if they have what have they discovered? I just hope they did not go to his house to shut him up, but rather to investigate all the allegations he made or did they?

There are too many things in this case that are not right at all, and Najib needs to come out and clear his name, he can only do it, if the PM gets the ex cop back, and Najib takes Raja Petra Kamaruddin to court to sue him for defamation and everything else, maybe even criminal intimidation, let me borrow some words from RPK, like him I am no lawyer too, I may be saying the wrong things here, but one thing I know is that Lawyers are officers of the court, the courts dispense JUSTICE, maybe Muhammad Shafee Abdullah can shed some light here or is he entitled to qualified privilege, whatever that means.

The sanctity of the Office of Prime Minister of this country is of paramount interest to all Malaysians, it mudt be protected at all costs, this is our country and we, the Prime Minister and every aspiring PM has a duty to keep it intact.
