Before UMNO underlings like the UMNO Putera chairman start to challenge Pakatan de facto leader to swear on the Quran in order to prove his guilt or innocence, I suggest the chairperson should first prioritize the gravity of the offense.
In most civilized and developed countries homosexual activities between consenting adults is accepted and does not constitute a criminal offense. What two consenting adults do within the confines of their bedroom is nobody's business but their own The govt by attempting to charge one of them for sodomy just because one of the consenting adults choose to bare his sordid details is making a mockery of our institutions like the Police dept, the Attorney-General Dept and principally the whole Govt institution which indirectly played a vital role in bringing the case to light.
What perhaps the UMNO Putera chairman should demand is for the Deputy Prime Minister, Dato Najib who is slotted to become the next Prime Minister to swear on the Holy Koran that he and his wife is totally absolved of any involvement in the Altantuya murder.The Statutory Declaration made by Razak Baginda's private investigator gives further credence that the DPM was in some way involved in the dastardly act of murder.
Whereas homosexual activities between two consenting adults does not constitute an offence in most civilised countries, this cannot be said of murder or accessory to murder. The crime of murder in every country whether civilized or uncivilized is a capital offense. It is a universal crime which cannot be exempted from punishment.
Therefore it must be baffling to ordinary citizens why the Police dept and the Attorney-General is placing so much emphasis on the sodomy charge while treating the Altantuya murder nonchalantly. And this despite two statutory Declarations being made to implicate the DPM and his wife of involvement of the murder?
The Deputy Prime Minister is groomed to be the next Prime Minister of our country. Can he assume the mantle of the Prime Ministership in the near future with a stain and blemish of his involvement in a murder case?What would be the implication to the country if after his ascendancy there was irrefutable evidence to indicate his involvement?
All this implication of the DPM's involvement can only be banished once and for all if the Police seriously carry out an unbiased investigation without fear or favor and to eventually provide irrefutable evidence as to his guilt or innocence.
The first Statutory Declaration made by blogger, Raja Petra was most damaging and pointed directly to DPM and his wife involvement and despite a month after the Statutory Declaration there is no evidence or attempt to refute the revelation made. The DPM's wife even was generous to a fault by declaring she would not sue the blogger for defamation.
The feeble attempt by the DPM to dismiss all those allegations as merely political attacks is unacceptable. The ordinary citizens deserves to know the truth and nothing but the truth.Mere denials cannot form the basis
of any defense and therefore exonerate his guilt. Unless and until there is conclusive proof that he was in no way involved in Altantuya's murder there is no likelihood Malaysians will accept him as our next Prime Minister.
