Do we need Karpal to question”Duress Man”

DAP chairperson and lawyer Karpal Singh talking to Malaysiakini says that lying in a SD is wrong and he wants Balasubramaniam to be investigated under the Penal Code. The full report can be read at the malaysiakini portal http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/85620

We said earlier the person who does about turn will be done for perjury and charged with the Penal code. Perjury is a crime (also called forswearing ) is the act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing.

Karpal said,”“One cannot just make such a declaration and later withdraw it and such an act amounted to giving false evidence, an offence which carries a maximum of seven years’ jail”. He went on to say it was baffling that the private investigator was now claiming he made the declaration under duress.

Even Kuala Lumpur Bar criminal practice committee chairperson N Sivananthan also said Balasubramaniam has committed an offence for making conflicting SD in relation to the ongoing Altantuya murder trial. Bar Council President Ambiga Sreenevasan said the SD was made in accordance with the procedure and sealed by a commissioner of oaths and cannot be withdrawn but could be supplemented and corrected. There are many questions being asked amongst which are ,”whether Bala was going to be prosecuted.?”

The immediate reply from the Deputy Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar is that the police will continue to carry out their investigations as there might be hidden motives involved. But mind you when you read the Statutory declaration we were informed that Bala has been a police officer with the Royal Malaysian Police Force having joined as a constable in 1981. He was subsequently promoted to the rank of lance corporal and finally resigned from the Royal Malaysian Police Force in 1998. (17 years in the force he must know a thing or two). Is he trying to tests our intelligence…….?

In his first report (No 1)it ended with (when I was with the Special Branch) and in the second declaration (No.1) this was omitted(Special branch). Purposely or is it just another mistake? There are so many conspiracy claims,personal smears and allegations and there is even one which the spindoctors calls it a ”tag team.”

Badawi/Anwar versus Mahathir/Najib. Anwars fight is all out against Mahathir while Mahathir needs to get Najib on the throne to protect his good name and cover his wrongs in 26 years in office. Badawi who saw the release of Anwar needs Anwar to go all out to clear all Mahathirs man and also to look after his son in law KJ. Najib seems to be checkmate by Badawi.Can this happen…? If we have not seen it, it is only because the day of reckoning has not arrived just yet. Afterall the plot is all about the national drama,Bala and Saiful please step aside this is the Number One Hit “ Malaysiaboleh“……………..
