A private investigator who made shocking allegations of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s links with Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu, appears to have freedom of movement in the country despite being ‘wanted’ by the authorities.

NONEP Balasubramaniam spoke to Malaysiakini in a brief phone conversation last month confirming that he returned from exile early last month for several weeks to attend to family matters.

The former police special branch officer also confirmed that he had been in and out of the country several times over the past year.

Balasubramanaim (right) said the authorities were aware of his presence in the country but was unafraid, adding that “they should fear me” due to the information he possesses.

He indicated a willingness to speak to Malaysiakini in a formal interview, but on the scheduled date, he was unreachable.

It is believed that he had again gone into exile in India with his entire family.

Last year, Balasubramaniam stunned the nation when, in a statutory declaration dated July 1, 2008, he alleged that Najib was sexually involved with Altantuya.

His statutory declaration also claimed that prosecutors and the police were ordered to remove evidence linking Najib to Altantuya’s murder.

Offered RM5 mil to retract statutory declaration

This statutory declaration was read out at a press conference on July 3, but he recanted and retracted it, substituting it with another one the following day under strange circumstances.

He then fled the country with his family on July 5 and was never seen in public again, until yesterday when he appeared in an online video interview on popular video sharing website Youtube [Click here for link].

Rolling text on the video suggests that ‘Deepak’ was linked to first lady Rosmah Mansor (left) and that the interviewed was conducted on Oct 27 in the presence of three Malaysian lawyers.

It is unsure who conducted the interview, believed to have taken place somewhere in India, but it was indicated that the clip was merely the first in a series with Balasubramaniam.

The 90-second video was posted by a user under the name c4productionhouse, which was responsible for a posting several interviews with fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin and a series of videos condemning Rosmah.

Tell us…how shall we mother Altantuya’s children?

How should mothers act with so many cases of child abuse jammed at the JKM?

What will mothers say the the police who let  sons die in their care?and those that they abused and acted violently against suspects?

And what about “mother to mother” to Beng Hock’s mother?

& those children on humantrafficking?   Those foreign daughters unpaid and abused? What do mothers say to the authorities who colluded so human trafficking flourishes in Malaysia?

ah, what mother, Shahrizat?

Umno General Assembly: Shahrizat tells Wanita Umno to help mould society

2009/10/14

Describing women as “mothers to all Malaysians”, Wanita Umno chief Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil today called on members of the movement to help mould Malaysians into a highly-civilised society.

Shahrizat said members of the movement would be able to guide, teach and nurture the country’s generations.

“All women must work sincerely towards this objective,” she said in a speech at the movement’s general assembly at the Putra World Trade Centre here.

Shahrizat, who is Women, Family and Community Development Minister, said Umno and Barisan Nasional’s struggles had allowed women in Malaysia to actively contribute to the country’s development.
However, the current situation required them to handle new challenges, including the low rate of women joining the employment sector, issues regarding women’s economic development and the increase in the incidence of violence against them.

Shahrizat, who was elected to the movement’s top post last March, also urged the members to be brave and pioneer the process of rebuilding the Malay race.

She also said that the Malays could be easily be moulded towards excellence.

Earlier, Shahrizat presented the Anugerah Nadi Negara to 11 graduates of public institutions of higher learning.

The award recognises graduates who not only excel in academics but also exhibit leadership characteristics. – Bernama
