Bala Demands Attorney General Probe Into Documents Linking Murder to PM

Kuching
Sunday, 7th November 2010


Let me admit to you that I did sign a false statutory declaration. Yes. I did. I signed a false statutory declaration. It was the second one, not the first one. The first one was entirely truthful. The second one was a complete pack of lies. I admit this.

OPEN LETTER TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Dear Tan Sri,

My name is Balasubramaniam a/l Perumal.

I think you may have heard of me.

I was Razak Baginda’s private investigator hired by him to protect him from his ex girlfriend Ms. Altantuya Shaaribu (deceased), sometime in 2006.

Remember you charged him for her murder but he got off. Instead, two of the Prime Ministers body guards got convicted. Stranger things have happened, I am sure you would agree.

But I digress. Let me come to the point.

I have been made to understand that you have decided to close the case involving 2 statutory declarations I signed sometime at the beginning of July 2008 in Kuala Lumpur.

The contents of these statutory declarations were diametrically opposed. Both could not have been true and therefore one of them was false. I trust that makes sense to you.

The police, I believe, have investigated the circumstances surrounding the making of these 2 statutory declarations under s.199 of the Penal Code, for an offence which carries a sentence of 3 years imprisonment and a fine. This is not a trivial offence.

The police must have interviewed my lawyer Americk Sidhu, his secretary, the Commissioner of Oaths who attested my signature and a variety of other witnesses you have mentioned who were somehow intrinsically interwoven in the construction and affirmation of both statutory declarations, one way or another.

It has therefore come as a great surprise to me to discover that you have been unable to decipher any wrongdoing from the enormous amount of evidence the police must have been able to accumulate from their investigations.

Please permit me to assist you.

Firstly may I suggest that you re-open this file immediately.

I will make it easy for you.

Let me admit to you that I did sign a false statutory declaration. Yes. I did. I signed a false statutory declaration.

It was the second one, not the first one. The first one was entirely truthful. The second one was a complete pack of lies. I admit this.

This statutory declaration was prepared by some unknown person(s) and I was forced by very thinly veiled threats and intimidation to sign it.

I have already made this known to the world at large and I am surprised your office has not picked this up as yet. Everyone else has.

If you are unable to ascertain this information which I have just provided to you directly, please feel free to contact me at this email address bala.p.i@hotmail.com and I shall forward to you a copy of the video recorded interview I had in the presence of my lawyers in Singapore last November, and a copy of the transcript thereof.

Otherwise you can find this information on all the blogs worth reading (such as Raja Petra’s ‘Malaysia Today’) and also on ‘You Tube’. ( Just type in ‘PI Bala’ into the search column and you will be surprised what comes up).

So you may now consider charging me for making the false 2nd statutory declaration after the clues I have given you.

I do however reserve the right to plead not guilty to the charge as I believe I have a very good defence.

Your prosecutors will also have to make sure they call all the necessary witnesses to prove their case against me. These witnesses will have to include the following personalities:

(i) a lawyer named Mr. Arunampalam a/l Mariam Pillai (who coincidentally does legal work for Deepak Jayakishan and Rosmah Mansor’s personal companies).

(ii) a Commissioner of Oaths (Zainal Abidin Bin Muhayat) who works in the office of M/s Zul Rafique and Partners (Advocates & Solicitors) and who attested my signature when he came to the room in which I was being held at the Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

(iii) Deepak and Dinesh Jaikishan ( very good friends and confidantes of Rosmah Mansor).

(iv) Datuk Nazim Razak (younger brother of the Prime Minister), and his wife.

(v) ASP Suresh (a suspended police officer formerly attached to the IPK HQ KL).

(vi) Officers from the Immigration Department Damansara (who assisted in obtaining urgent passports for my family).

(vii) A host of journalists and reporters who were present in the lobby of the Prince Hotel Kuala Lumpur when a lawyer called Arunampalam released my 2nd statutory declaration without my permission.

These are just some of the witnesses I can think of but I am sure you know how to do your job so that should be no problem. I don’t want to be accused of trying to teach an old dog new tricks.

If for some strange reason my defense is called, I will also be able to provide witnesses to support what I have to say. I need not disclose who these witnesses are at this stage and I am sure you know that as well.

I shall now wait for the charge against me to be laid.

I will be more than happy to return to Malaysia to defend myself but you will have to ensure that my safety is guaranteed as there are some people who would prefer that I was not around.

Best regards,
Balasubramaniam a/l Perumal

RM543 million commission - Will the submarine finally surface in France?

Kuching
Tuesday, 27th July 2010

A potentially explosive scandal in Malaysia over the billion-dollar purchase of French submarines, a deal engineered by then-defence minister Najib Razak, has broken out of the domestic arena with the filing of a request to investigate bribery and kickbacks from the deal in a Paris court.

Although the case has been contained for eight years in the cozy confines of Malaysia's courts and parliament, which are dominated by the ruling BN, French lawyers William Bourdon, Renaud Semerdjian and Joseph Breham put an end to that when they filed it with Parisian prosecutors on behalf of the Malaysian human rights organisation Suaram, which supports good-government causes.

Judges in the Paris Prosecution Office have been probing a wide range of corruption charges involving similar submarine sales and the possibility of bribery and kickbacks to top officials in France, Pakistan and other countries. The Malaysian piece of the puzzle was added in two filings, on Dec 4, 2009 and Feb 23 this year. For two years, Parisian prosecutors, led by investigating judges Francoise Besset and Jean-Christophe Hullin, have been gingerly investigating allegations involving senior French political figures and the sales of submarines and other weaponry to governments all over the world. French news reports have said the prosecutors have backed away from some of the most serious charges out of concern for the political fallout.

The allegations relate to one of France's biggest defense conglomerates, the state-owned shipbuilder DCN, which merged with the French electronics company Thales in 2005 to become a dominant force in the European defense industry. DCN's subsidiary Armaris is the manufacturer of Scorpene-class diesel submarines sold to India, Pakistan and Malaysia among other countries. All of the contracts, according to the lawyers acting for Suaram are said to be suspect. Bribery allegations With Najib having moved on from the defence portfolio he held when the deal was put together in 2002 to become prime minister and head of the country's largest political party, the mess has the potential to become a major liability for the government and Umno.

Given the power of  UMNO, it is unlikely the scandal would ever get a complete airing in a Malaysian court, which is presumably why Suaram reached out to French prosecutors.

 "The filings are very recent and have so far prompted a preliminary police inquiry on the financial aspects of the deal," said Philippe Vasset, the editor in chief of a Paris-based military intelligence website.

"There isn't a formal investigation yet. The investigation will most likely use documents seized at DCN in the course of another investigation, focusing on bribes paid by DCN in Pakistan."

Vasset said police have confined their inquiry to bribery allegations so far and have not looked into the 2006 murder of a Mongolian woman in Malaysia who was a translator on the deal for Najib and his friend, Abdul Razak Baginda, during a visit to Paris. There have been numerous deaths involving DCN defense sales in Taiwan and Pakistan. Prosecutors are suspicious that 11 French submarine engineers who were murdered in a 2002 bomb blast in Karachi – first thought to have been the work of Al-Qaeda – were actually killed in retaliation for the fact that the French had reneged on millions of dollars in kickbacks to Pakistani military officers payment of RM534.8 million to a Malaysia-based company called Perimekar, for support services surrounding the sale of the submarines.

Perimekar was wholly owned by another company, KS Ombak Laut Sdn Bhd, which in turn was controlled by Najib's best friend, Razak Baginda, whose wife Mazalinda, a lawyer and former magistrate, was the principal shareholder, according to the French lawyers.

"Over the past years, serious cases have been investigated in France by judges involving DCN," lawyer Renaud Semerdjian told Asia Sentinel in a telephone interview.

"This is not the first case of this kind that is being investigated. There are others in Pakistan and there are some issues about India. To a certain extent, every time weapons of any kind have been provided, suspicion of violation of the law may be very high."

Massive military build-up

 As defence minister from 2000 to 2008, Najib commissioned a huge military build-up to upgrade Malaysia's armed forces, including two submarines from Armaris and the lease of a third, a retired French Navy Agosta-class boat. There were also Sukhoi supersonic fighter jets from Russia and millions of dollars spent on coastal patrol boats. All have come under suspicion by opposition leaders in Malaysia's parliament but UMNO has stifled any investigation.

Asked personally about the cases, Najib has responded angrily and refused to reply. Despite efforts to bury it, the case achieved considerably notoriety after the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu, a 28-year-old Mongolian translator and Razak Baginda's jilted lover, who participated in negotiations over the purchase of the submarines. By her own admission in a letter found after her death, she was attempting to blackmail Razak Baginda for US$500,000. She was shot in October 2006 and her body was blown up with military explosives by two bodyguards attached to Najib's office after Razak Baginda, went to Najib's chief of staff, Musa Safri, for help in keeping her away from him. Not long after being acquitted in November 2008 under questionable circumstances of participating in her murder, Razak Baginda left the country for England. The bodyguards were convicted but no motive was ever established for their actions. The submarine deal was never brought up in court during a months-long murder trial that was marked by prosecutors, defence attorneys and the judge working studiously to keep Najib's name out of the proceedings.

A private detective hired by Razak Baginda to protect him from the furious Altantuya filed a statutory declaration after the trial indicating that Najib had actually been the victim's lover and had passed her on to Razak Baginda. The detective, P Balasubramaniam, said later that he was unceremoniously run out of Kuala Lumpur. He eventually emerged from hiding in India to say he had been offered RM5 million by a businessman close to Najib's wife to shut up and get out of town. He also said he had met Nazim Razak, Najib's younger brother, and was told to recant his testimony.

Spotlight on Perimekar In the current complaint in Paris, the issue revolves around what, if anything, Razak Baginda's Perimekar company did to deserve RM534.8 million. Zainal Abidin, the deputy defence minister at the time of the sale, told parliament that Perimekar had received the amount – 11 percent of the sale price of the submarines –for "coordination and support services". The Paris filing alleges that there were neither support nor services.

Perimekar was registered in 2001, a few months before the signing of the contracts for the sale, the Paris complaint states. The company, it said flatly, "did not have the financial resources to complete the contract." A review of the accounts in 2001 and 2002, the complaint said, "makes it an obvious fact that this corporation had absolutely no capacity, or legal means or financial ability and/or expertise to support such a contract." "None of the directors and shareholders of Perimekar have the slightest experience in the construction, maintenance or submarine logistics," the complaint adds. "Under the terms of the contract, RM534.8 million were related to the different stages of construction of the submarines." The apparent consideration, supposedly on the part of Perimekar, "would be per diem and Malaysian crews and accommodation costs during their training. There is therefore no link between billing steps and stages of completion of the consideration."

As Asia Sentinel reported on April 1, services for the subs are being performed by a well-connected firm called Boustead DCNS, a joint venture between BHIC Defence Technologies Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of publicly-listed Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd, and DCNS SA, a subsidiary of DCN. Boustead's Heavy Industries Division now includes Perimekar as an "associate of the Group.

PSB is involved in the marketing, upgrading, maintenance and related services for the Malaysian maritime defence industry," according to Boustead's annual report. Originally Boustead told the Malaysian Stock Exchange that the service contract was for RM600 million for six years, or RM100 million annually. However, the contract later ballooned to RM270 million per year. Boustead Holdings is partly owned by the government and has close connections with Umno.

"There are good grounds to believe that [Perimekar] was created with a single objective: arrange payment of the commission and allocate the amount between different beneficiaries including Malaysian public officials and or Malaysian or foreign intermediaries," the complaint states.

AGI IDUP AGI NGELABAN

Sampai Bilakah PM Najib Mengelak daripad Berpijak Di Bumi Nyata

Najib seharusnya membersihkan dirinya daripada tuduhan yang mengaitkannya dengan pembunuhan jelitawan dari Mongolia. Perkara ini dapat dilakukan dengan cara membenarkan pihak Polis membuka kertas siasatan terhadapnya.
Tetapi penyiasatan ini tidak akan berkesan selagi Najib masih menjadi Perdana Menteri ini kerana pihak Polis adalah dibawah telunjuk Perdana Menteri.
Najib telah berkali-kali menafikan pengelibatan beliau di dalam pembunuhan Alantuya dengan menafikan bahawa beliau tidak mengenali Alantuya. Penafian beliau memang lumrah, mana ada sesiapa di dalam dunia ini yang mahu mengaku melakukan kesalahan secara sukarela?
Najib tidak akan aman duduk di kerusi Perdana Menteri selagi-lagi beliau tidak membersihkan namanya secara yang sah. Secara yang sah bermaksud menggantung dirinya daripada jawatan Perdana Menteri sehingga siasatan yang dilakukan oleh pihak PDRM selesai.

Pengelibatan beliau di dalam pembunuhan Alantuya semakin ketara dengan tindakan bapa Alantuya, Dr Sharibuu Setye membatalkan rayuan ke atas keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi membebaskan Razak Baginda (sahabat baik Najib) daripada tuduhan bersubahat dengan dua anggota Pengawal Keselamatan yang ada kaitan dengan Najib membunuh Alantuya dan pembatalan hasrat beliau untuk menggunakan mahkamah antarabangsa untuk menyiasat kes pembunuhan anaknya. PM Najib adalah seorang anggota politik yang sangat bijak dengan menggunakan wang untuk mencapai matlamatnya. Perkara ini dapat dibuktikan dengan apa yang telah berlaku di Port Dickson apabila beliau telah dicekup oleh Pegawai Pencegah maksiat apabila didapati berdua-duaan dengan seorang penyanyi popular yang bersuara meneran, tetapi tidak didakwa.

Dan yang terbaru melibatkan beliau dengan kuasa wang adalah peristiwa rampasan kuasa di Perak. Tetapi bukti yang lebih kuat yang melibatkan beliau di dalam pembunuhan adalah berkenaan pendedahan PI Bala melalui Satutory Declarations (SD) bertarikh 1 Jul 2008.

Dan bukti terkini yang melibatkan PM Najib adalah dengan penelibatan adiknya Nazim di dalam usaha untuk menghantar PI Bala keluar dari malaysia sehingga Najib dilantik menjadi PM. Perkara ini di dedahkan oleh PI Bala seperti laporan berikut :

Mereka yang berfikiran waras akan membuat kesimpulan bahawa Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak dilihat berkaitan dengan kehilangan P Balasubramaniam, kata peguam penyiasat persendirian itu Americk Singh Sidhu.

Menurutnya, fakta-fakta kelihatannya menunjukkan kepada kemungkinan mereka tidak mahu penyiasat itu lagi dan menyerahkan tugas itu kepada orang lain yang rapat dengan mereka, untuk dilaksanakan.

Dalam wawancara dengan Malaysiakini, Americk memandang berat pembabitan adik perdana menteri, Datuk Mohamed Nazim.

Menurutnya, persoalan yang timbul ialah mengapa Nazim berminat dengan kehilangan Balasubramaniam "jika dia tidak mendapat perlindungan daripada abangnya?"

Balasubramaniam baru-baru ini mendedahkan bahawa dia pernah berjumpa dengan Nazim, seorang arkitek, pada malam sebelum dia menarik balik akuan bersumpah pertamanya yang mendakwa Najib ada hubungan rapat dengan Altantuya Shaariibuu, wanita Mongolia yang mati dibunuh.

Balasubramaniam turut mendakwa bahawa dia ditawarkan RM5 juta oleh seorang yang dikenali sebagai Deepak, seorang ahli perniagaan yang didakwa rapat dengan isteri perdana menteri Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor supaya menarik balik akuan bersumpah pertamanya.

Najib telah berulang kali menafikan spekulasi bahawa beliau di belakang tindakan Balasubramaniam menarik balik akuan bersumpah pertamanya itu.

Bercakap kepada Malaysiakini, Americk menceritakan bagaimana beliau diperkenalkan kepada Balasumbramaniam; tindakan bekas anggota polis Cawangan Khas menarik balik akuan bersumpah pertamanya Julai tahun lalu dan pertemuan seterusnya beliau dengannya selepas muncul semula daripada persembunyian setahun kemudiannya.

Americk turut mendedahkan bahawa rakaman video wawancaranya dengan Balasubramaniam tiga bulan lalu, dibuat secara rahsia sebagai "satu jaminan sekiranya dia ditahan oleh pihak-pihak yang terbabit dalam pemergiannya dari negara ini setahun yang lalu."

"Dia tidak tahu yang dia sedang dirakamkan pada masa itu, tetapi kita kemudiannya memaklumkan perkara itu kepadanya dan dia faham mengapa kita berbuat demikian," katanya.

Menurut Americk lagi, Balasubramaniam mungkin melakukan kesalahan di bawah Akta Akuan Bersumpah 1960 kerana memberi akuan bersumpah yang bercanggah, tetapi dia boleh mempertahankan dirinya kerana dia nampaknya telah dipaksa, diugut dan/atau dipaksa menandatangani akuan bersumpah kedua".

Tetapi, katanya, mereka yang didakwa menghasut akuan bersumpah kedua yang palsu dibuat - Deepak, ASP Suresh dan peguam M Arunampalam - juga berdepan dengan tuduhan jenayah kerana bersubahat dan berkonspirasi.

Mengenai Nazim pula, Americk mendakwa, dia terbabit dalam melakukan ugutan jenayah terhadap Balasubramaniam di samping kemungkinan didakwa bersubahat/konspirasi berhubung pembuatan akuan bersumpah kedua yang palsu.

Alantuya Murder-PI Bala drops Bombshell 3: Update 1

VVIPs likely to be named


FINALLY, private investigator P.Balasubramaniam has come out of hiding after 15 months to give a no holds barred interview on what happened to him.
In the presence of three prominent lawyers on Oct 27, he reaffirmed that his first statutory declaration released on July 3 last year was true and that he was offered to RM5million to retract it.
He named carpet businessman Deepak—who is said to be an associate of Rosmah Mansor, the wife of Prime Minister Najib Razak—as the person who met him at a Rawang restaurant and made the cash offer.
Excepts of the video interview has been posted on YouTube

In the interview, Bala said Deepak made more than a cash offer.

“He asked me to go to Putrajaya but he never mentioned who he wanted me to go and meet… then after that he offered me RM5million to retract the SD,” Bala said.
The meeting allegedly took place at a restaurant in Rawang, on the same day Bala’s statutory declaration became public alleging links between Najib, his aide Razak Baginda and murdered Mongolian model Altantuya Shaaribu.
Today, the first part of Bala’s interview appeared on YouTube and Raja Petra’s Malaysia-today.net .This is to be followed by a series of other portions of his Bombshell 3 expose.
Bala is likely to name people who played a role in the retraction of his first statutory declaration, which was replaced by a second one read out at a press conference the next day, on July 4 last year.
It is learnt that some of the personalities to be named are those close to the Prime Minister and his wife as well as senior police officers.
The 50-year- old former Special Branch officer is also expected to give a full account of his family’s ordeal while hiding away from Malaysia.It is learnt that he and his family first went to Singapore , then flew to Bangkok before arriving in New Dehli via Kathmandu.
Who are the people and why they went to such lengths to buy Bala’s silence is likely to become clearer as his expose in the interview unfolds.

New Twist in Alantuya Murder Case-RPK suggests PI Bala may soon resurface to attack Najib

RPK Will be " Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban" Until Najib Step down as PM!

The fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, or RPK, has raised the ante again against Datuk Seri Najib Razak by threatening to expose another statutory declaration by missing private investigator P. Balasubramaniam.

Talk has been swirling for several weeks now that the private investigator was going to surface after going missing since July last year.

There has been speculation that Balasubramaniam would restate allegations against the prime minister he first made in a statutory declaration last year linking Najib to the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

In a posting on his Malaysia-today.net portal, RPK alleges that Balasubramaniam had been living in India since he went missing and had been paid to keep quiet.

“Little did they know that Bala was just biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike back.

“And now he is striking back and has come out to reveal what really happened since the time he signed his first statutory declaration, followed by the second one the following day, 16 months ago,” RPK wrote.

For the opposition, this development, if true, will provide a chance to put the prime minister under pressure and put a difficult issue for him back on the table.

While RPK provides little concrete evidence for his allegations, such is his following and influence among Malaysians that his attacks against Najib remain damaging.

In his latest attacks, he publishes photographs of cheques allegedly made out to Balasubramaniam.

And he promised to make more revelations within the next month.

Abdul Razak Baginda, one of Najib’s closest associates, had been charged for abetment and tried for the 2006 murder of Altantuya.

Abdul Razak was eventually acquitted. But two policemen who were once on Najib’s security detail were found guilty of the murder.

PI Bala will Appear and Expose Everything, Eventually Rosmah husband will Admit Everything...RPK Theory!

Abdul Razak had admitted that Altantuya was his lover.

But the close ties between the major players in the murder and Najib have always dogged the prime minister, with critics like RPK frequently accusing the government of a conspiracy to protect the PM.

Last year, Balasubramaniam caused a stir when he made public a statutory declaration in which he alleged Najib had a sexual relationship with Altantuya.

But he then made another statutory declaration a day later retracting the accusations against Najib.

After that Balasubramaniam disappeared.

The private investigator had been hired by Abdul Razak to help him deal with Altantuya, who was alleged to have been harassing him.

Balasubramaniam was also a witness in the murder trial.

"Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban"

Police have photo of Najib with Altantuya

P HOTOGRAPH of Prime Minister Najib Razak posing with murdered Mongolian model Altantuya Shaaribuu was handed to the Malaysian police but is not likely to ever surface, says French investigative reporter Arnaud Dubus.

In an interview with Free Malaysia Today, Dubus said it was “naive” of Altantuya’s family not to have made copies of the photograph, which would prove that Najib knew her.

“This photograph was given to Mongolia’s Honorary Consul in Malaysia, Datuk Syed Abdul Rahman Alhabshi, who gave it to the Malaysian police and then it sort of vanished,” Dubus said.

As such, his investigations of three months into the trail linking Najib to Altantuya had gone cold, he said.

The investigations, carried out by the respected French newspaper La Liberation, went into the details of shady arms deals and a sexual affair which also involved Najib aide Abdul Razak Baginda.

The Prime Minister has repeatedly denied knowing Altantuya, but the denials have done little to silence the parliamentary opposition, which has used the murder as political fodder against Najib for the past three years.

Dubus has no doubt that the “silver bullet” photograph of Najib and Altantuya exists and there are enough pointers to link Najib to Altantuya.

“I think that everybody notices the elements that are linking Najib to Altantuya,” said the Bangkok-based journalist.

“First is this photograph, which has been described by Shaaribuu Setev, the father of Altantuya. He has seen the photograph of Najib, Abdul Razak Baginda and Altantuya in Paris as his daughter showed it to him.”

“And Altantuya’s best friend, Amy, also saw the photograph. And she can remember quite well when Altantuya explained who was who in the picture. Amy asked Altantuya who was this guy (in the photograph) and Altantuya said ‘he was the prime minister.’ Actually around that time Najib was Deputy Prime Minister, but (clearly Altantuya was referring) to Najib,” Dubus said.

Dubus said he doubted if the photograph would ever see the light of the day.

“Well, the photograph was given to the Malaysian police; so if we want to check where was the pic, somebody has to go to the Malaysian police and the one who can do it is the Honorary Consul as he was the one who gave it to them,” said Dubus.

“Unfortunately Altantuya’s father is a down-to-earth man who trusts people easily. He really trusted this Honorary Consul. And he gave him all the documents without making copies, which I thought was very naive. And everything vanished.

“I think the photograph will never be found because it too incriminating. It is just too sensitive.”

Asked to elaborate, Dubus said the photograph would immediately contradict Najib’s persistent denial about ever meeting the Mongolian woman.

“He (Najib) has sworn on the Quran that he has never met this woman. If the photograph is found, it would contradict him and that would be very embarrassing,” he said.
