RAZAK BAGINDA - NAJIB OR ROSMAH NOT INVOLVED

It is widely reported today that Abdul Razak Baginda, who was acquitted after a 22 month detention for the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu while pending trial, revealed during his first press conference yesterday after his release that Deputy Prime Minister or aspiring Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak and his wife, Rosmah Mansor are not involved in the murder.

When pose many questions, Abdul Razak Baginda repeated his quote that Datuk Seri Najib and Rosmah were not involved and claimed that Datuk Seri Najib does not know or have met her. Abdul Razak Baginda further claimed that he will be departing to Oxford University at United Kingdom to complete his PhD studies.

What surprises most Malaysians is that even after two Statutory Declarations which is still in doubt since the police have not finalised their findings, the Shah Alam High Court had acquitted Abdul Razak Baginda. Furthermore, the prime suspect in the case is Abdul Razak Baginda who would be able to give insider information on the murder.

The 'surprising' judgement by the Shah Alam High Court on 31 October 2008 seem to be politically motivated since top politicians and their family are involved. Attempts to summon DPM Datuk Seri Najib and his wife, Rosmah to testify had been turned down by the Court.

But whatever the circumstances, Malaysians and the International world still have no confidence in the justice system in Malaysia.

Where is outgoing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's judicial reforms?
