Since the high profile murder case trail involving Mongolian beauty Altantuya began some two weeks ago, Desi has not once carried any Post on it. I have read many Posts -- even before the trial started, some by so-called ex-journalists! -- and most would have breached the Sub-judice rule if only the authorities have had the time to bother. Luckily, especially for some smarAleck commenters at certain weblogs, there is no register for Loyar Buluks, charging half-price for their elegant courtly services! -- otherVice, Malaysia would be swamped.
Today I make an XXcetion to carrying a commentary on the case -- only because I believe the Commenter, having served as a former deputy Prime Minister, and also having a coterie of legal advisers -- must know something more than the average person like Desi...
Well, it's knot all altruism at work hear! I am betting sext when I visit Section 14, PJ, Nik Nazmi would buy me the nice Rojak. Saves on three or five ringgit, depending on how angry, or hungry, I am:). I promise I'd buy my own tehtarik -- my poor writHer's budget always allows for IT! A journo's brew -- cn leave home without It! In fact, can't live without IT!:):)
Lastly, the media statements on PKR get flagged off regularly at Desi's Place as a Community Service because I am a PKR-card-carrying member. I need to inform my regular Readers this fact as I hold them in high esteem and I don't wish them to have any doubts as where I stand in political leanings and affiliations. But as I advocate, we can banter and debate with comers of ALL political and non-political persuasions, in thes spirit pronounced by VOLTAIRE: I may disagree with what you say but I will defend, to the death, your right to say it."

PERKEMBANGAN TERBARU KES PEMBUNUHAN ALTANTUYA
Perkembangan terbaru di dalam perbicaraan pembunuhan Altantuya Sharibu telah menimbulkan lebih banyak persoalan terhadap keseluruhan perbicaraan tersebut.
Sebaik sahaja pihak pendakwaan membuat permohonan untuk mencabar kebolehpercayaan Lans Korporal Ronaiza Roslan, hari ini Rohaniza membuat pendedahan mengejutkan bahawa beliau telah diancam untuk ditembak mati sekiranya beliau memberi keterangan dalam perbicaraan Altantuya.
Sebelum ini, salah seorang dari peguambela pihak tertuduh telah mengundur diri dari kes tersebut kerana campurtangan pihak ketiga.
Perkembangan-perkembangan ini telah menghangatkan lagi dakwaan penglibatan tokoh-tokoh penting di dalam kes tersebut, sementara Timbalan Perdana Menteri Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak telah kembali tidak memberi komen mengenai kes tersebut meskipun orang kanannya dan pengawal-pengawal yang ditugaskan melindunginya telah dituduh bertanggungjawab terhadap pembunuhan tersebut disamping dakwaan salah seorang saksi terhadap kewujudan sekeping gambar Altantuya bersama-sama seorang pegawai kerajaan yang berkongsi nama yang sama dengannya.
Saya telah berkali-kali mendesak pihak berkuasa untuk bertindak dengan segera demi memelihara kredibiliti proses perbicaraan kes tersebut memandangkan professionalisme dan kebolehan polis dan Peguam Negara sedang diperhatikan seluruh dunia, namun mereka telah gagal mengambil tindakan yang sewajarnya. Ini merupakan peluang untuk memulihkan maruah negara kita, namun mengapakah setakat ini pihak berkuasa bersungguh-sungguh untuk menggagalkannya?

THE LATEST TWISTS IN THE ALTANTUYA MURDER TRIAL
The latest twists that have emerged in the murder trial of Altantuya Sharibu have raised further questions on the integrity of the entire trial.
Just as the prosecution made an application to impeach their own key witness Lance Corporal Rohaniza Roslan, today Rohaniza made a surprising revelation that she has been threatened to be shot dead should she testify in Altantuya's trial.
Previously, one of the defence lawyers of the accused had discharged himself due to third party interference.
The developments have only fuelled further rumours of the involvement of important personalities in the case, while Deputy Prime Minister Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak has reverted to his elegant silence on the case in spite of the fact that his associate and bodyguards charged with the murder as well as the claim by one of the witnesses on the existence of a photography of Altantuya and a government official that shares the same name with him.
I have repeatedly demanded the authorities to act immediately and effectively to preserve the credibility of the entire trial process as the professionalism and competence of the police and the Attorney General's Chambers is on trial, yet they have failed to do so. This is a chance to restore the image of our country, yet why are the authorities adamant at squandering it at every opportunity?

NOW visit powerpresent.blogspot.com -- his coverage is most comprehensive, a collation of news reports with many exclusive photos. Today this blogger whom I first interacted with and him IDed as "MWT" (hope I'm not mistaken!:) has a good analysis of a FAKE PHOTO of a trio having a tete-at-tete, causing much ruckus over blogosphere, methinks. Blogging can be FUN-d!
