Malaysiakini reports that Bala is holding a PC this morning at the Prince Hotel.
Bala this morning has issued a new SD and has retracted the SD released yesterday in which he had implicated Najib to murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.
Appearing at the PC with another lawyer other than the one who appeared with him yesterday, Bala claims that he was forced to affirm the earlier SD, without giving any details yet as to who forced him and how.
The Malaysiakini report which appeared at 11.10am today, has it that the PC was then still underway.
Man, what a rollercoaster!
July 4, 2008 at 11:50 am
Morning Haris,
What the hell is going on ? This guy sure looks like he was forced to retract the SD or get his whole family C4-ed…
I smell something very fishy in this turn of events especially when he left hurriedly without answering Qs.
Best Regards
July 4, 2008 at 11:56 am
Man, Hollywood/Bollywood couldnt have produced a better drama. This is definitely BOLEHwood at its best
July 4, 2008 at 11:57 am
I don’t believe this…What is happening to our country Haris ?
July 4, 2008 at 11:58 am
Well, haris. All this is lunacy. It’s not taking us anywhere. Meanwhile, I have a life to lead, children and wife to feed.
I won’t follow anymore “breaking news”. And no, I won’t be there at the sunday protest (much as i strongly feel the effects of the petrol hike) becos i know it will turn out to be a lovefest for one politician.
No one really is watching out for us, the rakyat.
July 4, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Oh fine, you want to retract your SD. No problem at all.
First, clean out all the online copies and reports of your SD. Recall back all today’s newspapers which report on your SD and finally – this is the most important of all – clear out everybody’s minds who have been corrupted by your previous SD so that nobody remembers any of those explosive revelations. Piece of cake!!
July 4, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Geez..some folks just don’t have any back bone..makes stunning SD and then claims he was forced and leaves in a huff. Money talks..intimidation and threats abounds in this country.
July 4, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Get ready folks the shit has hit the fan and now is splatter time better take cover.
July 4, 2008 at 12:11 pm
[...] Haris Ibrahim – The plot thickens : I was forced to lie, says Bala now [...]
July 4, 2008 at 12:12 pm
flip flopped PI or death threats against his family PI?
where on earth got people retract SD and ONLY with those alleged of the DPM knowing the victim?
this game of poker is intriguing. the only difference is the bystanders (we all) will kena as well.
my money is on Anwar. I feel they have the tape of the meeting in singapore between ARB, NAR and Altantuya.
That will be the final nail on Najib’s coffin.
July 4, 2008 at 12:13 pm
And by the way…to those Machiavellians at the top… this is more damaging than leaving the SD as it is and countering it with a response. Who are you trying to fool?
Under duress? By who? Who in the opposition has that kind of power? He sure doesn’t look like he was forced yesterday.
But he is sure giving everybody the impression he is forced to retract it today.
Somebody tried to correct the situation and made it worse. It’s like trying to cover a hole with a BIGGER HOLE!!
July 4, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Who or what can can the Malaysian citizen believe in anymore? This is the pits!!! What price the truth?
July 4, 2008 at 12:16 pm
This roller-coaster has gone way past my nausea threshold.
I’m going to refrain from commenting on the actual issue until I find space to stomach this. Perhaps this is the kind of time when people say “ignorance is bliss”.
July 4, 2008 at 12:17 pm
While the politicians are having ball of a time, I wonder who is running the country…
Is the premier aware that a potentially lethal recession is descending upon us…
For once I agree with Tun’s opinion in his blog about the world being in turmoil while Malaysia is still in lal la land……
July 4, 2008 at 12:18 pm
retracting a SD with another SD? what sick joke is this?? Some ppl treaten to C4 his family? helo, dont bala already know the implication of the initial SD?? i’m sure if you are going to say something that explosive, atleast you should jaga your backside first!! i think something fishy is going on. i’m slanting towards believing that someone force the initial SD toward Bala unless anyone can show me otherwise, logically. countering a lie with another lie, is this the best our politician can do?
July 4, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Dear Haris,this thing is really getting out of hand.Only yesterday we are beginning to see some light in the tunnel and today we are told that light has been forcibly taken away.
The road to justice for Altantuya and to clean up the corrupted judiciary and police force is going to be very long and almost impossible now if UMNO still helm the top.
Nothing short of a change in the entire goverment machinery will put things right again.
That fails,then we really have to look out for ourselves as no one really is watching out for us the rakyat,to borrow Oneman’s view.
July 4, 2008 at 12:22 pm
HOW DARE ANWAR FORCED THE POOL BALA TO LIE AND MAKE A DAMNING ACCUSATIONS IN HIS SD WHICH MADE EVERYONE INCLUDING ESTEEMED AND HIGHLY INTELLIGENT LAWYERS TO BE DUPED!
Is this what a PM in waiting would resort to just to fulfill his ambition??!!
July 4, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Pardon me, but, WTF?
July 4, 2008 at 12:35 pm
This is turning out to be a Hollywood blockbuster. One minute this and then next something else altogether.
July 4, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Bala was under duress and all the while he had his lawyer Americk Singh beside him? Pardon the expression, but dont tickle my ass.
July 4, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Haris,
If Bala is Sherlock Holmes..
Who is playing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?
http://www.ruzaimiramza.wordpress.com
July 4, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Bala was assmatized? He has already done his job, so time to withdraw.
Relax, more SD’s coming!
July 4, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Haris,
I think the damage has been done. It will only bolden the Anwar group and give more public support rather than Najib, IGP and AG benefiting from this new drama which has ingredients of violence threatening. Remember, the 3 are in charge of the entire security apparatus and criminal justice in the nation. If the boy was cowed by mere police men, what’s at stake is higher here and no body wants to be trampled upon.
July 4, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Pdanmuka sabarla did you read the part the police visited bala yesterday night.That alone should tell you a story and by the way nobody got duped not everyone is stupid in bodohland.
July 4, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Well, however stupid it may seems, this is simply an attempt to devalue ALL SDs.
So what impression does this give to the public now. SDs so what? Semua boleh tipu punya! Pressure off!
July 4, 2008 at 12:56 pm
scout (12.26pm), you’re pardoned, because I feel the exact same way.
From NST Online, it appears that Bala has retracted the entire SD, not only parts of it. He now says that “in no material time” did Razak tell him that Najib introduced Altantuya to him, or that they had sex, or that Najib asked Razak to take care of Altantuya. Basically, Bala is saying that the first SD is all untrue.
As I think I’m still unfit to comment on the real issue at hand, let me just say that I’m stunned at the speed that the MSM online portals are updating their news on this one. Seems like the speed of light if compared with yesterday.
July 4, 2008 at 12:58 pm
The way I analyse yesterday’s SD, Anwar is desparate.
July 4, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Relax. Only para 25.1-2 was withdrawn out of 55 paras.
The remaining 54 paras, including 25.3-4, 28 and 52 remains.
July 4, 2008 at 1:00 pm
haha..DSAI paksa? boleh percaya ke? macam DSAI ada kuasa je. somemore, DSAI nak pi kat Bala? Bala jumpa DSAI mungkinla..
bro Haris, Bala guna ni sebagai political bargaining kepada Najib? Ada lg 1 SD yg DSAI simpan tentang hubungan Najib-Ezam-Rosmah-Saiful. Tak taula orang tu pun nak tarik juga atau bagaimana?
Malaysiaku, semoga Tuhan menghukum mereka yang zalim!

July 4, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Hi padanmuka,
Please do not ascertain that Anwar was behind this whole fiasco before seeking the absolute truth. I am not trying to defend anyone here but the fact of the matter is that why only has Najib’s name been ommited from the SD with the rest of the declaration stays. By the way, why in the first place was Bala was hauled up by the police yesterday evening ? To apply some sort of pressure, I presume…
Hold on to your horses & let the ultimate truth prevail !
July 4, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Hooly F@#%ing dooly! This is ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL!
So.. Bala is now saying that the SD is fiction? Oh? Now the question that needs to be asked is :
Was Bala (like Saifu)a Najib plant?
As I see it, there’s much to be gained by Najib in this latest epidode. The plot thickens indeed and it ain’t over yet.
Meanwhile, this is a test of leadership for Badawi. He must now suspend the DPM, IGP and AG for the investigations into all these allegations to be seen as being fair and above board. There is quite clearly a conflict of interest if these guys are still there.

Does anybody know who Mr Bala’s “new lawyer” is?
Name, background etc.
Such information may be very revealing.
July 4, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Dear Haris,
Been reading much but first time writing in – out of disgust, like most. Will also save my energy and refrain from commenting on a seemingly and increasingly out of control political fiasco.will pray instead that our beloved Malaysia be delivered out of this evil that seeks to throw us all into disarray.
But to you, just want to say thank you for carrying on in the face of what you see and hear, especially of late. Don’t lose heart, Haris.I don’t want to lose heart too and say we have no hope as a nation. I want to hope like you for a Malaysia that’s free for our children and theirs. Free- from fear and intimidation from people who are supposed to protect us, free from looking at each other through race-tinted lenses, free to grow up and affirm each other as fellow Malaysians in every sense. Maybe we might not see it in our life time but we got to start now, so they can build on it.
So let all the stinking mess come up and out and by God’s mercy, we get the right people in to clear up and move on.
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY AND THAT’S MY BIRTHDAY WISH AND PRAYER.
ock,
Those who know me well will tell you that I am the infernal optimist.
Birthday greetings and best wishes to you and your family.
God bless
July 4, 2008 at 1:13 pm
This kind of hole has that tendency to get bigger and tighter at the same time! Especially when you try to patch it or cover it up.
If he was under duress by the powers that be, perhaps I can understand how he would have succumbed to making that SD. Instead, to claim to be under duress by whoever else to make a SD IMPLICATING the likes of the DPM and the powers that be, I think nobody in their right mind would DARE do it, unless, there is some truth (if not all). You would have much more to lose when you do. Even with the “truth and guts” to implicate DPM, one can so easily and perhaps shakily retract, to succumb to higher powers.
We would have to wait for “further evidence” hinted at by DSAI. As this drama unfolds, the nation cringes in pain (of all kind). The world focus on us and laughs while the Mongolians shake their heads in utter disbelief. What mockery.
July 4, 2008 at 1:15 pm
The Malaysian Insider has it. The man was threatened. And to make it worse. He has only removed the Najib part. Hoy…this makes it juicier.
“He told friends yesterday that he had come under severe pressure after releasing the statutory declaration.”

July 4, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Poor old Bala, must be in a hot spot.
Who told him to retract and said he was forced to lie??
Was he under threat or being bought over with promises of goodies??.
If he is under threat, no one not even Pakatan supporters would be able to protect him. He has to fend for himself. Where can he hide?? The decision is his. Threat comes in many form and methods. For example in school his child was spat on by an unknown is enought to get him to think seriously…or a dead chicken thrown onto his front door giving the meaning he is a dead chicken?? His balls will shrink…do we blame him when we cannnot protect???
Being an ex policeman himself he knows best on what action to take to ensure his and his family’s safety.
With goodies..? to humiliate AI??
July 4, 2008 at 1:34 pm
This is just getting beyond ridiculous. I’m fed up of all this sandiwara.

Sorrylah, just so jelaklah.
July 4, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Errr… Can a person retract his/her SD and issue a new SD… I mean… is it legal to do so? It’s black and white… and it’s signed!
I guess it makes you wonder… why didn’t Bala go hide in turks embassy when he got threatened! Ahhhahaha…~~
Makes you wonder why the first thing comes into people’s mind was… Bala got threatened to retract the SD…
July 4, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Haris,
In the court of opinion i am sure a good majority of people have a very poor opinion of Najib by now.
I believe Najib will inevitably suffer the same fate as Samy Velu as in he will face the wrath of the rakyat whenever he attends public functions.

“Balasubramaniam’s lawyer has told Malaysiakini that Balasubramaniam was contacted by the police soon after his press conference yesterday. He last saw his client after dropping him off at the Brickfields police station at 4.45pm.”
Contacted by the police directly after PC? Last seen being handed over to the cops? Retraction first thing next day?………………………

July 4, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Who holds the gun on you, Bala? or are they holding a C4?
July 4, 2008 at 2:14 pm
I’ve got a legal question for you Haris. Now that Bala has made a new SD to claim that his first SD was “all lies”, what legal implications are there?
An SD is a declaration made under oath. And I believe that there should be serious implications for false declarations. Am I right? What would the proper procedures be from hereon?
su,
The legal implications of the second SD are that, without more, Bala would on the face of it have commited an offence by swearing out the first SD.
Unless the veracity of the second SD is to be thoroughly investigated by the police to ascertain its correctness, and not immediately treated as the correct one, it would follow that Bala should be charged with an offence under the Oaths and Affirmations Act.
July 4, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Haris,
Are they going to charge Amreeck? If they are, the lawyers should gather in court and protest. March from court to Putrajaya if you have to. I will join you! We cannot allow them to treat the rakyat this way anymore!
July 4, 2008 at 2:18 pm
The only good thing about Bala’s SD was that it has drawn out NTR into making a public admission of meeting Saiful just before the police report was made. And with this duress issue, maybe all these people that’s “conspiring to use the law” have been advised to make peace not war. Otherwise, there is always the specter of mageran !
DO NOT TRANSGRESS ! .. the bureacrats are running the country.
July 4, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I’m beyond trying to make sense of it all.
July 4, 2008 at 2:25 pm
When the first SD which implicated Najib was made public, many bloggers made all sort of comments/commentaries condemning Najib without waiting for the real facts.
NOW, I cant wait to read what they have to say when the new SD is given.
Lets see how they retract all thier commentaries like Bala did his first SD

July 4, 2008 at 2:39 pm
C’est tres bizarre.
Seems like a case of “compelled to say that he is ccompelled”. Sheesh. 1st (purported) compulsion versus 2nd (most likely) compulsion. Which is more probable, dear readers?
Was he dragged to Anwar’s PC? Was a gun put to his forehead there? He answered press’ questions calmly, did he not? Did he in any way look like he was under duress?
Then the about turn. And curiously it came hot on the heels of his drop-in at Brickfields station. That’s all I need to know, really.
Whatever. Najib’s image, as far as I am concerned, has been irreparably damaged. The last nails on the coffin are his laughable statements.
Since when the DPM office is in charge of granting scholarship? And that, to a sub-par varsity drop out? Puhleez! Give me a break. 10As scholars often do not have a chance in hell in getting one from PSD and we are expected to believe that this Saiful chap will be considered for one, by the DPM office, no less?
DPM said that Saiful came to see him personally, all distraught and hand wringing. Goodness, since when did our DPM part time as an Aunt Agony and give advice on what to do when one is buggered?
If March 8 showed anything, it is that Malaysians are no fools. They may have been cowards or cowed but they are no fools.
I think enough said, by all concerned.
BN should be buried for good.

July 4, 2008 at 2:47 pm
A lot of people are thick as two planks! It is so obvious that even a blind man can see why this poor man has to retract his SD after he went to the POLICE station. If Anwar has to seek sanctuary in an embassy for his safety where can this poor ordinary man go to seek refuge. Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq0cQuBwAyg and you might learn something.
July 4, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Saudara Haris, It is funny how Malaysians easily forget that Bala had given evidence in Court on 4/6/2007 and his evidence had been splashed all over the papers and quoted almost verbatim by the press. Never at any stage during questioning and cross by the TPR or by the Defence lawyers did Bala ever refer to the DPM’s involvement. His sole reason to now make the SD and withdraw reference to DPM one year later right after prosecution case is closed clearly shows that the PI has other agenda in mind or has been made a pawn in the Political race by certain quarters.
I hope he has got his two cents worth and pray hard that no contempt proceedings be brought against him.

Hello all of you out there. Do not blame Bala please, if they were to stuff C4 up your ass, you think you will not retract your SD? Come on people you saw on You tube, how he spoke about being detained for 5 days and that already he cannot tahan. With the C4 up there you think he can tahan ka. Bala we forgive you.
July 4, 2008 at 4:00 pm
There you have it, like I said earlier – Truth will eventually prevail !!
Update 3pm: Malaysiakini Super Sleuth Li Tsin alerts me of another damning bit of info:
“Balasubramaniam’s statutory declaration was affirmed before commissioner of oaths Zainal Abidin Muhayat, bearing an address that is traced to Zul Rafique & Partners – a pro-establishment law firm owned by Zulkifly Rafique who is Federal Territories minister Zulhasnan Rafique’s brother. “
*SNAP!!*
Dunno about you, but that piques my suspicions for sure. Here’s the longer quote from Americk, who along with YB Sivarasa, is scheduled to give a PC later this afternoon
July 4, 2008 at 4:09 pm
P.I. Bala, I am waiting for you to tell me where in the circle is a corner.
In other words, tell us all how you intend to square the circle.
July 4, 2008 at 4:25 pm

July 4, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Damn!….Looks like the ‘Powers that Be’ have won again. Sad,sad day for truth and justice.I now live in a foreign country where politicians are held accountable for their actions and words, if they slip up they resign, but not in Malaysia where there’s too much (moolah) to lose.The whole lot of them are @$$holes. Btw Haris, great blog, love your fair minded approach and equality for all. Keep up the good work bro.Peace.
Cheers
July 4, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Since everyone is confused, why don’t we let Anwar do the thinking for us. Yes? No?
I am still wondering how the 1st or 2nd SD by Bala can stop the police from investigating Saiful’s report, and how is it relevant to the “Liwat” case.
Gunumaro,
No offence intended, but I’ll do my own thinking, thank you very much.
July 4, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Well Haris,
Let’s hope we all get to laugh last. The empire is striking back and may the force be with the righteous.
Amen
July 4, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Bala claimed he was under duress to lie on the first SD. But he could as well be under duress to retract it now.
Which SD to believe? Let’s just think on the basis of probabilities
Who has the power to put him under duress in the first instance? I’ve heard some intimate his lawyer which must be a joke! PKR or Anwar? Unlikely and even if so, couldn’t he just go to the police?
But who has the power to put him under duress to retract it? He made allegations against a powerful politician occupying the second highest office in the land with all the state resources at his command. The power is certainly there and he would have nobody to turn to.
In his second SD, all references to the powerful figure was expunged.
So was he under duress to file the first SD or under duress to retract it?
I don’t know. You decide.
July 4, 2008 at 6:39 pm
He made a 55 para SD, with such information and details that could only be dictated by him. Then he retracts the entire 55 paras!
Lets wait for more disclosures.
July 4, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Dear Haris,
The part on the SD that puzzled me was that it appears to contain some “hearsay” which would be difficult to collaborate. The other item that really puzzled me was why did he add the part about Altantuya liking anal sex? How would that give the SD more credibility? Just by having a sexual relation is bad enough. Having anal sex does not make it worse, unless it is to make it sensational, don’t you think?
Cheers.
JJ,
Hope to do a posting shortly that may touch on the issues you raise here.
Meanwhile, on the hearsay thingy, do have a look at Malik Imtiaz’s posting today for a primer.
July 4, 2008 at 6:57 pm
This is an absolute intimidation to surpress the truth and there needs to be something that we, the rakyat, can do to ensure that this does not just fall off the table.
If anyone were to be charged, it should be the IGP/ Najib & AG. This is the actual meaning of corruption of the HIGHEST level.
I do not want my kids to grow up in a society that is as dangerous as this. Make me wonder why I came back from UK/ China in the 1st place when there is so much hatred, deceit in the very people who are suppose to be looking out for us.
July 4, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Haris, how long these flurs are going to intimidate the Rakyat?
It’s really too much. How can the Righteous ones in the Forces let their immoral and evil superiors rape and sodomise the Good Name of the Forces. I just couldn’t understand. Don’t they remember their vows to uphold justice?
Well, if they can stand the filth and they don’t mind their image being tarnished, then it’s up to them.
But their next generation will never forgive them and their families will be cursed for many many years to come.
Think about it. God bless you all.
July 5, 2008 at 12:45 am
Dear Haris,
Quite difficult to try and grasp what Malik is trying to say. My understanding is that if B tells C what A told B, then C’s evidence of what A had told B is hearsay and is not admissable unless it can be collaborated by direct evidence. Conviction by circumstantial evidence is very rare, and I remember the famous Sunny Ang’s case. So unless there is some direct evidence to collaborate what the PI had heard from ARB, he is treading on dangerous grounds, isn’t he?
Anyway, this SD and counter SD is not good for the country. Our civil services machinery is almost grinding to a halt. As the story goes, how do you know that a politician is lying? His mouth moved.
Cheers.

Do you think they should just shut everyone’s mouth with a shot to the head?

Americk Singh Sidhu’s Press Statement, being made in his capacity as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya, in regard to the preparation and attestation of the Statutory Declaration of P. Balasubramaniam of the 1st of July 2008 is as worthy of credit in a Malaysian court of law as any other Statutory Declaration. The police must investigate that too in order to arrive at the truth of the matter.

Dear Haris,
For 50 years of SHIT governing by the UMNOPUTRAS, Enough Is Enough. How are we supposed to endorsed or continue to except these UMNOPUTRAS, who are rotten to the core, to continue governing our country???
For all Malaysians living in Malaysia, everyone knows for a fact, so don’t lie to ourselves, that the whole bloody system of, the civil servants, the judiciary, the GOV.link businesses, and right up to the DPM, PM and even their family members, are all CORRUPTED TO THE CORE in one way or another.
The question is: Should we continue to let this bunch of PIGS rule over us? Should we continue to let these ANIMALS continue to insult our integrity, and insult our intelligience? Should we the RAKYAT continue to let ourselves be manupilated by these DEVILS?
I think it’s time to put a stop to all this, and prevent our country from degenerating into another Myanmar or Zimbabwe. We must all start to UNITE, regardless of race or religion, as one people with one voice, AGAINST these GANGSTERS, THE UMNOPUTRAS(& also their BNPUTRA DOGS), who DICTATES, ROBS, INSULTS and SODOMISES the RAKYAT.
I don’t see a federal government governing the country and I don’t see the civil servants carrying out their civic duties. What I am seeing, hearing and experiencing, is a bunch of UMNOPUTRA MAFIA and GANGSTERS trying to exert control over the people. What I am seeing is the UMNOPUTRAS trying to flex their muscles, DICTATING, ROBBING, BULLYING, INTIMIDATING, INSULTING, THE RAKYAT. Is this the type of future we want for our children and their childrens???
Honestly, I for one do not see ANWAR as angel, but in him I see a HOPE FOR CHANGE, a GOOD OPPORTUNITY THAT SHOULD NOT BE MISSED and HOPE FOR THE BETTER FUTURE of the country. For now he is the key to installing CHECK and BALANCE in the country, as we all know this is important, as POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY. And we must not forget that we the RAKYAT are at all times their BOSSES, and shall be the ones to DICTATE when to hire of fire the very people we see fit to manage our country. So if ANWAR, given a chance by the RAKYAT, does not perform. We the RAKYAT will give him the BOOT. So as the boss(THE RAKYAT), we hire him(ANWAR) because he is at this moment useful to us. But if he doesn’t perform his duties well or become useless we will then kick him out. Once this CHECK AND BALANCE factor is installed, DEMOCRACY will take over, then and only then will we advance together as a NATION.
We the RAKYAT must UNITE and reclaim our country from the UMNOPUTRAS and BNPUTRAS. We the RAKYAT regardless of our race or religion, owe it to our children and children’s children, to put a stop to all this POLITICAL GANGSTERISM happening in this country that we so love. We the Rakyat must ensure that HARMONY, PEACE AND DEMOCRACY PREVAILS for our own future and the future generations to come.
