The Kuala Lumpur Traveler

When a friend SMSed me last Friday morning informing the court had acquitted Abdul Razak Baginda in Altantuya’s murder case, I wasn’t surprised at all. Neither was I frustrated. This is Malaysia we are talking about.
This is the only land in the entire world where an attorney general had been accused of tampering with the evidence in a court case and yet still serving the justice department as if nothing had happened. This is also the land where no less than an IGP was personally involved in assaulting no less than an ex deputy prime minister by beating him almost …read more

Oh my…. looks like the flip flop disease has spread in Malaysia. While you-know-who had flipped flopped so many times we have lost count of it, the latest one infected by the disease is none other than Bung Mokhtar Radin…. used to be famous for his ‘bocor’ remarks that had sparked angry protests from women nationwide.
Yesterday, Bung Mokhtar Radin flipped, denied making a rude gesture in Parliment and today he flopped, admitted doing it but still trying to mince his words around the incident.
You know what Bung Mokhtar Radin said?

Yes, I did it, but it (the gesture) is …read more

By 1.00pm, the blogosphere are already abuzz when P. Balasubramaniam, who was engaged by Abdul Razak Baginda as a private investigator, came out with an explosive Statutory Declaration (SD) that had implicated Najib in the murder case of Altantuya Shaariibuu.
By now, I do not want to dwell too much on the content of the SD which can be viewed and read here at Anwar Ibrahim blog, but the response from the mainstream media (MSM) is rather disappointed, although expected.
(And… if you are reading the SD…. pay attention to number 25.2 of the SD:
25.2 Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak informed Abdul …read more

Comes tomorrow, Lim Kit Siang’s emergency motion to debate Raja Petra Kamaruddin’s (RPK) latest allegations against several high profile individuals linking them to Altantuya murder case will be shot down by the Speaker, that is what I am predicting. The reason? Well the Speaker has three reasons to deny the motion. It is not definite, it is not urgent and it is not of public importance. Well, it doesn’t matter what is the reason for rejecting the motion I guess, but the likely reason by the Speaker would be it is not definite and that the case is already being …read more

An explosive latest Statutory Declaration (SD) by Raja Petra Kamaruddin (RPK) against Rosmah and several individuals is in fact shocking. In summary, the contents of the SD are:

Acting Colonel Aziz Buyong which is a C4 explosive expert was also at the murder scene
Aziz’s wife, Norhayati who is Rosmah’s ADC, was also at the murder scene
Malaysian Prime Minister Pak Lah knew about the above facts from a military intelligence report handed over to him
The militaty intelligence report was subsequently handed over Khary Jamaluddin, Pak Lah’s …read more

If what have been reported in Star Online and Malaysiakini are true, the supporters of Raja Petra Kamaruddin, the first blogger charged under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act, will be celebrating soon, although victory is still far away, if at all possible.
Will he tell a different story about his denying to see anyone as told by the prison warden and reported by the media? Will he fire more salvos on the same subject that had landed him in hot soup? We will have to wait and see. Welcome back RPK!
