Court jesters or God-sent gospellers ...

of the Truth, nothing but the truth, so help us (Malaysians) God, spare us from some self-anointed gospellers of the Truth in the NegaraKu that I love.

When confessed lover onceuponatime/dime of deceased Mongolian Altantuya, Abdul Razak Baginda, held court at a Press Conference after three weeks of freedom to think, imagine and scribe following his acquittal fromm an abetment to murder charge, this professed renowned Malaysian to a question by the media about "how he knew" that DPM Najib Razak or his wife had never met Altantuya at all and therefore not involved in the murder, his answer which all Malaysians must accept as gospel truth was: "I just know". Quoting The Star Online, viz: "When asked how he knew Najib was not involved, Najib’s former political analyst smiled, looked at his lawyers and then replied: “I just know.”

IS THIS GUY A COURT JESTER, or IS HE AN ANOINTED SON OF GOD TO DELIVER US POOR MALAYSIANS -- AND PERHAPS ALL MONGOLIANS TOO -- FROM THE CHAMBER OF DARKNESS...TO SEE THE LIGHT OF TRUTH OF ALL THE EVENTS LEADING TO THE BODY OF A MONGOLIAN BEAUTY BEING RENDERED INTO BITS, BITES AND PIECES FLOATING IN THE AIR AND SOME PARTS BURIED ON MALAYSIAN SOIL AND SOME COLLECTED AS ASHES?
Perhaps, we can press this guy and the diligent Malaysian authorities to try harder in the quest for Truth by first locating the PI BALASUBRAMANIAM'S WHEREABOUTS...and not make him another court jester?


I had refrained from writing much about the ongoing trial which can catch any commentator unwittingly with "subjudice" breaches, so it's with restraint I pen this piece because we are at an important -- in fact, near "fatal" crossroads -- We have arrived at a point where we are faced with an unusual decision by a murder prosecuion which is so "generous" to Abdul Razak, the main protagonist thus far, by "NOT APPEALING" the accused's acquittal, and he is using public appearances like YESTERDAY's PC to give his side of THE story. Meanwhile, the victim's voice -- along the ultimate TRUTH-BEARER -- is gone from this mother good earth. Only good to the survivors like Razak Baginda and patient listeners of his gospel.

But to this writer with someSherlock Holmes training, this highly publicised press conference -- with lots of international media coverage - did throw up many UNANSWERED QUESTIONS which even the NST did run. I went to its Online edition BUT COULD NOT PICK UP THAT PORTION so curio cats here would have to invest RM1.20 to get at that story: I am not so patient to copy it longhand as first inclined to educate you, OK!

One troubling question that many of my NON-MEDIA friends have been bugging Desi with is:

WHY ARE THE TWO MURDER ACCUSED FACNG CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IF CONVICTED OF THE MURDER CHARGE and WHOSE DEFENCE HAD BEEN CALLED BY THE JUDGE ALWAYS HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF THEIR FACES TOTALLY COVERED UP?
I may have to ask some officer at THE BAR COUNCIL for an expert opinion -- anyone has a direct line to Datuk Ambiga the BC Prez? -- to unravel this Malaysia Boleh puzzle.

Meanwhile, you have a crime of MURDER committed on Malaysian soil, but no one remaining on tehe scene who could be a likely suspect with the MOTIVE -- mens rea in legal jargon -- so what gives?

The remaining two Malaysians who have indicated to the court they would give evidene under oath in their defence -- I have yet to know how they look like after almost two years of side-shows -- are merely the "minions" caught in the whirlwind of a highly-powered political drama. One cannot be blamed if he/she thinks the one who knows more are walking still -- and this word has got two connotations, Desi is pretty democratic, it's your pick! -- in the Malaysian CORRIDORS OF POWER. And one Blogger is still probing like Sherlock Holmes to arrive at some proximity of the Truth Let Desi roam the corridors at night and come up with an Midnight Voice account by end-March 2009, OK!

Meanwhile, I can only say that the Truth is hidden among the almighty US DOLLARS. Razak Baginda and his backers have handled lots of it, not Desi or the two accused still covered up from my sight whenever they go public. Can someone now offer to pay Desi that 20million for the script to the next Hollywood blockbustier and Razak Baginda can make a cameo appearance. Let's talk DOLLARS and SENSe when the Hollywood boys come a-calling, wit' Midnight Voice a-waiting.
