PART 1: THE PI, THE DEAD MODEL AND MALAYSIAN CORRIDORS OF POWER
On July 3, 2008, during the murder case of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaaribuu, Malaysian private investigator P. Balasubramaniam had made a statutory declaration indicating that (the then deputy prime minister) Najib Abdul Razak had a sexual relationship with Altantuya. Within 24 hours, he signed a second statutory declaration contradicting the earlier declaration (it erased all traces of allegations with references to Najib Abdul Razak, who is now Malaysia’s Prime Minister) and soon after the investigator and his family went missing. By July 6, 2008, the Malaysian police said they had asked Interpol to help find the investigator. And now, PI Bala has surfaced. On November 16, 2009, helmed by Raja Petra Kamarudin, the Malaysia Today website ran the first of what might be a series of interviews with the investigator, answering questions such as why did he sign a second SD that contradicted his first SD barely a few hours later? And where did he disappear to for more than a year just hours after signing his second SD? And which SD was signed under duress, the first or second? And from his responses in Part Two of the interview, PI Bala was in $ingapore before flying off to Bangkok.
