What You Believe Is Not What We Believed!
Malaysian PM says he doesn’t believe they are involved - Malaysia Today
By Carolyn Hong, The Straits Times
PRIME Minister Abdullah Badawi yesterday dismissed allegations that the wife of his deputy Najib Razak was involved in the murder of a Mongolian interpreter.
POINTING THE FINGER: Blogger Raja Petra has linked Ms Rosmah to the murder of Ms Altantuya Shaariibuu in his sworn statement to the court.
Datuk Seri Abdullah also said that he had not received military intelligence on the matter. ‘I don’t believe that Najib and Rosmah (Mansor) are involved in this case,’ Mr Abdullah told reporters yesterday.
How can you just dismissed an allegation without first getting down to investigate the claims. And who cares what you believe! What you believe is not important. Millions of Malaysians believe otherwise. Please keep what you believe to yourself, thank you! What’s important is whether Najib and Rosmah are involved in the murder of Atlantuya, not what you believe! You believed that Yong Teck Lee acted on his own when he said he will motion for a vote of no-confidence against you. And the next couple of days you were proved wrong when the SAPP said it was endorsed by the party supreme council. So your belief is unbelieveable.
Prove what you believe! Christopher Columbus believed that the world is round and he sailed to the end of the horizon to prove his point. You can believe anything you like but that doesn’t mean that you are right and Najib and Rosmah are not involved in the murder.
This is what you should say; “This is serious allegations. I’m very concerned! It involves our Deputy Premier and his wife. The police and AG office should look into the allegations. They should get to the bottom of it, and if there are any truth linking Rosmah or Najib in the murder of Atlantuya, then actions should be taken against them. Justice should be served regardless of who you are. But then if the allegations are not true, we will then investigate RPK for making the Statutory Declaration.”
It was the first time that the Prime Minister was responding to the allegations made in a statutory declaration filed in court last week by blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin.
And it was also the first time that the names of Datuk Seri Najib and his wife were mentioned in the open by a top official, although conspiracy theories over the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu have been raging for months.
The mainstream media has reported the sworn statement by Raja Petra but only in general terms and has not identified Datin Seri Rosmah by name, until now.
Yea, why did it took the MSM to publish the name of Rosmah. Were you waiting from instruction from the top? And why did it took you, Badawi, so long to give a statement? Waiting for advice from the fourth floor boys? And why the deafening silence from Najib and Rosmah for so long? If they are really innocent they will be jumping on their seats and making statement to disclaim the allegations. They will be calling their lawyers and sue them for defamation. So far what we heard from Najib about the allegations “as total lies and fabrication!” Like you are going to say “yea, what RPK said were all true.” Prove that that it’s just total lies and fabrication. Prove RPK wrong! That would be a real challenge isn’t!
Mr Abdullah was asked about the matter by reporters after an official meeting yesterday.
Ms Altantuya, 28, was killed in October 2006, and her former lover Abdul Razak Baginda has been charged with abetting in her murder.
Two police officers from the Special Action Force are charged with the killing.
Raja Petra, 58, who is already facing a sedition charge over an article linking Mr Najib to the murder, had linked Ms Rosmah to the case in his sworn statement.
He also alleged that a Malaysian ruler is aware of the matter, and that a report had been given to the Prime Minister and his influential son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin.
‘It is stated (in Raja Petra’s statutory declaration) that I received a report from the military intelligence. That is not correct,’ Mr Abdullah said.
Ha!, That could be true. Maybe you were too sleepy to read, so you just passed it on to your beloved Khairy.
He added: ‘Of course I am concerned (over the allegations). What Raja Petra did is unacceptable…because what he stated is incorrect.’
The Premier said the Attorney-General has told him that an investigation will be carried out and action will be taken against Raja Petra.
Ok, how do you know the allegations are incorrect! Maybe you know better because you have the correct version? Or else what made you say that what RPK did was unacceptable? Now you want to be the judge too?
You sounded happy that the AG will be investigating RPK. Why investigate RPK? He is the one giving the information. Go and investigate those named in the SD, then if there is no truth - then only you have the right to act on RPK. And you said actions will be taken against RPK - may I ask, for what? For giving information about the murder? And which you have not even started to investigate. And you talked about looking into the Whistle-blowers Protection Act! Real crap lah!
The Altantuya murder has been a political hot potato for Mr Najib and the government since the case became public knowledge.
Mr Najib last month spoke in Parliament about the issue for the first time.
‘As a responsible citizen, and to uphold justice and truth, I am stating again that I do not know, nor have even met, the woman referred to in this case as I have explained several times,’ he said.
Najib, if you are a responsible citizen, and to uphold justice and truth, then you should ask for an investigation to clear your name and your wife’s. If you do not know and have never met Atlantuya, then why worry? Call for a full investigation!
The allegations by Raja Petra are seen by some political observers as a move to tarnish the image of Mr Najib.
He has been named by Mr Abdullah as the next prime minister, a transition that could happen soon as the Prime Minister has been under siege since the March 8 polls.
Outside Umno, the opposition has been targeting Mr Najib in an attempt to hurt his reputation and weaken the Barisan Nasional coalition.
What image? What is there to tarnish? This is a joke or what?

It is the norm in Malaysia that the real criminal can go scot free but the informer is the one who would suffer the consequences. Look at the Lim Guan Eng case when he was jailed for speaking up for the poor Malay girl who was molested by some UMNO big shot. Remember the Suqiu committee of the 90s? It just brought up the shortcomings of the Malays and instead of taking remedial action, our Government turned around and branded it as \
