Raja Petra: Bala to speak to reporters tomorrow

Fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin said private investigator P. Balasubramaniam, whose explosive statutory declaration alleged that prime minister Najib Razak had an affair with murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu, would be giving a media conference in London tomorrow (11.00am at the Holiday Villa).

"He and his lawyers will be giving a press conference in London to talk about the two Statutory Declarations that he signed and his role in the Altantuya matter," Petra told Harakahdaily today.

On his own statutory declaration in April 2008, Petra explained that it was not an allegation but merely quoted his sources who had made damning claims.

Among others, Petra said he had been informed by "the number two in the Military Intelligence" that the prime minister's wife Rosmah Mansor was present at the murder scene where Altantuya was killed and her body exploded.

"When I was detained under the Internal Security Act in September 2008, I told the Special Branch how I obtained that information and who gave me that information that I had signed in my Statutory Declaration in April 2008."

"The Special Branch admitted that they know that person in question. However, he was never hauled up or questioned about what he told me," he said.

Petra said while Najib's involvement was not proven, there had been no attempt to clear his name.

"Nevertheless, the Prime Minister must be above suspicion. And in Najib’s case this is not so."
