Politics - Americk Sidhu

KENYATAAN MEDIA OLEH AMERICK SINGH SIDHU

4hb Julai 2008, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

Saya telah diberitahu bahawa Encik Balasubramaniam a/l Perumal telah pada pukul 11 pagi tadi di persidangan media yang diadakan di Prince Hotel mengeluarkan suatu akuan bersumpah yang menarik kembali akuan bersumpah awal beliau yang diikrarkan pada 1 haribulan Julai 2008.

Alasan yang diberikan bagi penarikan kembali ini adalah kerana akuan bersumpah asal beliau yang dirakamkan sendiri oleh saya telah “dipaksa untuk diikrarkan di bawah tekanan”.
Tiada perincian rapi diberi berhubung dakwaan paksaan dan tekanan tersebut. Encik Bala dilaporkan hanya berdiam diri di persidangan akhbarnya pagi ini apabila ditanya mengenai siapakah yang menakut-nakutkan beliau.

Untuk rekod, saya ingin menyatakan bahawa akuan bersumpah yang diikrarkan oleh Encik Bala pada 1 haribulan Julai 2008 yang mana telah dikeluarkan semalam telah diikrarkan dengan rela hati di hadapan saya dan di dalam kehadiran seorang pesuruhjaya sumpah bernama Dr. T. Yokheswarem.

Saya juga ingin menekankan bahawa saya telah selama 26 tahun lamanya menjadi ahli Badan Peguam Malaysia dan tidak pernah sekalipun saya bersepakat dengan mana-mana anakguam saya dengan memaksa mereka memberikan maklumat palsu dalam apa keadaan sekalipun.
Kali pertama saya berjumpa dengan Encik Bala adalah dalam sekitaran dua bulan lalu di sebuah restoren di dalam kehadiran beberapa orang yang lain di mana beliau meminta saya untuk menolong beliau untuk mendokumenkan keterangan beliau. Saya memulakan proses tersebut dua minggu selepas itu. Saya menemui beliau beberapa kali dan akan mencatat apa yang beliau beritahu......

Politics - High Powered Drama

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/7/5/nation/21746980&sec=nation

Nothing playing in the theatres in recent weeks can equal the real life, high-stake political drama now playing before our eyes.

A murdered Mongolian woman who stubbornly refuses to fade away, a new sodomy allegation that has shaken the Opposition and probably dashed their dream of ever capturing the Federal Government, a private investigator who, after months of speculation, finally connected a top politician with the murdered Mongolian but retracted it barely 24-hours later, sent shockwaves across the political establishment as never before......

Politics - Oh Malaysia

http://sactyr.blogspot.com/2008/06/will-i-ever-return-to-malaysia.html

SADDEN TO HEAR FROM OUR FELLOWSHIP MALAYSIAN WHO HAS INTENDED TO BE AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN

When I first came to Australia in 2003, I didn't have this doubt of ever returning to Malaysia. I was as sure as a milking cow that I will go back to Malaysia to work after my studies. But then I was amazed with the country, fell in love with the people and their beliefs, and absolutely respect the system they have here. Five years on, I am a permanent resident of Australia.

People always say that the grass may look greener on the side, but more often that not, it won't be. But, just what if, the grass turned out to be much more greener?? Don't you want to graze there then?

The difference between permanent resident and citizen of Australia is just the voting rights and the right to work in the government, which a permanent resident does not have. So the question is, do I want to apply for citizenship of Australia, which I would be able to in a year's time, and cut off all national ties with my birth country?

The reason why I became a permanent resident in the first place is that I feel I am not safe in Malaysia anymore.....................

ANWAR IN TURKISH EMBASSY

Sunday June 29, 2008 MYT 8:21:03 PM
By V.P. SUJATA

PUTRAJAYA: Parti Keadilan Raykat leaders decided Sunday morning that the party's de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stay at the Turkish Embassy for his safety after he received death threats.

His family visited him at the Embassy at Jalan U Thant Sunday evening, PKR vice-president Azmin Ali said.

At a press conference earlier Sunday, Anwar's wife and PKR president Satin Seri Wan Azizah Ismail said the death threats had come less than a day after an aide of Anwar's had lodged a police report alleging he was sodomised by the one-time deputy prime minister.

She said PKR had released pictures of the aide showing him with cabinet ministers and their high-ranking staff, which she claimed was evidence of political assassination .........
