Akuan Bersumpah Balasubramaniam: Pertama -vs- Kedua

Tanggal 1 Julai yang lalu, rakyat Malaysia umumnya dan kerajaan Barang Naik khususnya, telah menerima satu kejutan apabila P. Balasubramanian (private investigator yang diupah Najib) membuat akuan bersumpah mengenai penglibatan terlampau Najib (a.k.a bakal PM 2010) dengan pembunuhan Altantuya (Aminah). Di tengah-tengah isu fitnah liwat yang direka untuk menutup isu harga minyak naik, kerajaan barang naik mendakwa isu itu (akuan bersumpah) adalah gimik yang bertujuan untuk menutup isu liwat tersebut. Walaubagaimanapun, sekali lagi kita dikejutkan (banyak kali terkejut dalam setahun...) apabila selang tiga hari selepas itu, Bala membuat akuan bersumpah kedua dengan beberapa pindaan kepada perkara tertentu dalam akuan yang pertama.

Berikut adalah beberapa para yang terdapat di dalam akuan pertama tersebut:....

"I, Balasubramaniam a/l Perumal ... do solemly and sincerely declare as follows:

1. I have been a police officer with the Royal Malaysian Police Force, having joined as a constable in 1981 attached to the police field force. I was then promoted to the rank of lance corporal and finally resigned from the police force in 1998 when I was with the Special Branch.

2. I have been working as a freelance private investigator since I left the police force.

...............

8. When I enquired as to who this Mongolian woman was, Abdul Razak Baginda informed me that she was a friend of his who had been introduced to him by a VIP and who asked him to look after her financially.

25. During this discussion and in an attempt to persuade me to continue my employment with him, Abdul Razak Baginda informed me that:

1) He had been introduced to Aminah by Najib Razak at a diamond exhibition in Singapore.

2) Najib Razak informed Abdul Razak Baginda that he had a sexual relationship with Aminah and that she was susceptible to anal intercourse.

3) Najib Razak wanted Abdul Razak Baginda to look after Aminah as he did not want her to harass him since he was now the deputy prime minister.

4) Najib Razak, Abdul Razak Baginda and Aminah had all been together at a dinner in Paris.

5) Aminah wanted money from him as she felt she was entitled to a US$500,000 commission on a submarine deal she assisted with in Paris.

.......................

28. Whist I was talking to Aminah, she informed me of the following:

1) That she met Abdul Razak Baginda in Singapore with Najib Razak.

2) That she had also met Abdul Razak Baginda and Najib Razak at a dinner in Paris.

3) That she was promised a sum of US$500,000.00 as commission for assisting in a submarine deal in Paris.

4) That Abdul Razak Baginda had bought her a house in Mongolia but her brother had refinanced it and she needed money to redeem it.

5) That her mother was ill and she needed money to pay for her treatment.

6) That Abdul Razak Baginda had married her in Korea as her mother is Korean whilst her father was a Mongolian/Chinese mix.

7) That if I wouldn’t allow her to see Abdul Razak Baginda, would I be able to arrange for her to see Najib Razak.

........................

49. They then proceeded to record my statement from 8.30 am to 6pm everyday for seven consecutive days. I told them all I knew including everything Abdul Razak Baginda and Aminah had told me about their relationships with Najib Razak but when I came to sign my statement, these details had been left out.

50. I have given evidence in the trial of Azilah, Sirul and Abdul Razak Baginda at the Shah Alam High Court. The prosecutor did not ask me any questions in respect of Aminah’s relationship with Najib Razak or of the phone call I received from DSP Musa Safri, whom I believe was the ADC for Najib Razak and/or his wife.

51. On the day Abdul Razak Baginda was arrested, I was with him at his lawyers office at 6.30am. Abdul Razak Baginda informed us that he had sent Najib Razak an SMS the evening before as he refused to believe he was to be arrested, but had not received a response.

52. Shortly thereafter, at about 7.30am, Abdul Razak Baginda received an SMS from Najib Razak and showed, this message to both myself and his lawyer. This message read as follows: “ I am seeing IGP at 11am today … matter will be solved … be cool”."

Dalam akuan bersumpah kedua yang dibuat pada 4 Julai lalu, Bala telah meminda perkara pada para 8, 25, 28, 49 hingga 52 dalam akuan pertama. Tindakan ini telah menimbulkan banyak tanda tanya di kalangan rakyat. Malah peguam terdahalu Bala, Encik Americk juga tidak tahu menahu akan tindakan tersebut. Semuanya berlaku sejurus selepas Bala dipanggil oleh pihak tertentu (polis ke?..) berkenaan akuan bersumpah yang pertama. Bala juga mendakwa akuan bersumpah pertama dibuat dalam keadaan tertekan (under duress)

Berikut adalah beberapa para (telah dipinda dari pertama) yang terdapat di dalam akuan kedua tersebut: ....

"I, Balasubramaniam Perumal, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows:

..................

3. I wish to refer to the statutory declaration I affirmed on July 1, 2008. I refer specifically to paragraphs 8, 25, 28, 49 and 50 to 52,....

..................

4. I wish to retract all the statements that I have made in paragraphs 8, 25, 28, 49 and 50 to 52 of my statutory declaration dated July 1, 2008. The statements contained in paragraphs 8, 25, 28, 49 and 50 to 52 of my statutory declaration dated July 1, 2008 are inaccurate and not the truth. I wish to expressly state that:

a) At no material time did Abdul Razak Baginda inform me that he was introduced to Altantuya Shaariibuu by a VIP;

b) At no material time did Razak Baginda inform me that Najib Razak had a sexual relationship with Altantuya Shaariibuu and the she was susceptible to anal intercourse;

c) At no material time did Abdul Razak Baginda inform me that Najib Razak instructed Abdul Razak Baginda to look after Altantuya Shaariibuu as he did not want her to harass him since he was the deputy prime minister;

d) At no material time did Razak Baginda and/or Altantuya Shaariibuu inform me that Najib Razak, together with Abdul Razak Baginda and Altantuya Shaariibuu had met and all been together at a dinner in Paris;

e) At no material time did Altantuya Shaariibuu inform me that she wanted money in the sum of US$500,000 as a commission for a submarine deal she assisted with in Paris;

f) At no time whatsoever did Abdul Razak Baginda and/or Altantuya Shaariibuu inform me that Najib Razak met with Altantuya Shaariibuu in Singapore;

g) At no time whatsoever did Altantuya Shaariibuu inform me that she wanted me to arrange to see Najib Razak;

h) At no time did I tell the police during the course of their investigations about any relationship between Najib Razak and Altantuya Shaariibuu as no such relationship existed to my knowledge. Accordingly, the statement I signed before the police is complete;

i) At no time did Abdul Razak Baginda inform me that he had sent Najib Razak an SMS the evening before he was arrested; and

j) At no time did Abdul Razak Baginda inform me that Najib Razak had sent him an SMS on the day of his arrest to the effect that he was going to see the IGP that day and that the matter should be resolved and for Abdul Razak Baginda to remain calm."

Kami amat yakin dengan sesungguhnya bahawa keadaan ini (pindaan akuan bersumpah) adalah konspirasi untuk menutup kurap (dan corrupt...) individu tertentu. Namun, rakyat Malaysia sekarang semakin bijak menilai. Meskipun setiap hari disuntik dengan racun-racun oleh media perdana, kita di barisan rakyat masih kebal (dah immune agaknya...) dan tahu membaca permainan politik kotor ini. Seperti kata a.k.a bakal PM 2010.... ini adalah satu Pembohongan Yang Dahsyat!.... :)
