SHAH ALAM: Private investigator P. Balasubramaniam, whose statutory declaration in July 2008 alleged that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had a relationship with murdered Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibu, is awaiting MACC’s response to his formal letter.
His lawyer Americk Sidhu, who is living overseas for fear of harassment by local authorities, said Bala was prepared to meet MACC officials in London or Singapore.
“He’s not going back (to Malaysia). He does not feel safe there. I speak to him every day. He is waiting for my instructions. Once MACC agrees to his terms, we will take the next step,” he said.
Americk said lawyer Manjeet Singh Dhillion was acting on his behalf on the matter with MACC. He said a formal letter was sent to MACC stating Bala’s willingness, subject to conditions, to assist MACC.
In the meantime, he would remain abroad, he said.
“I, myself, no longer feel safe in my own country,” he said, adding that he had been living overseas since last November, after news broke that Bala had re-surfaced and videos of his conversation with Americk, Manjeet and another lawyer, Amarjit Sidhu, were posted on YouTube and other websites.
Americk, who is currently in Indonesia, said that Amarjit has also been holed up in a foreign country after allegedly being harassed by officers from the police Special Branch.
Manjeet , a former Bar Council president, has suffered more than psychological harassment. Unknown persons attacked his home with petrol bombs soon after the Bala interview became public.
