Hisham still holding up Dr. Porntip’s testimony

By Nathaniel Tan

Writing on Aminulrasyid soon I hope.

For now, a bit on the TBH inquest.

As I understand it, the hold up regarding Dr. Porntip’s testimony at the inquest is as such: The Thai Ministry of Justice, Dr. Porntip’s employer, will not let her travel to Malaysia until they have a written assurance from our Home Ministry.

So far, Hisham has backtracked on his promises to provide such guarantees, giving excuses that defy logic.

I don’t understand what’s so hard about writing a simple letter. The Home Ministry’s failure to do so really suggests some attempt at a cover-up and an unwillingness to hear all sides in our attempt to discover the truth.

Why is it the federal government’s expert is allowed to give his testimony, whereas the expert engaged by the Selangor government is not?

Mongolian experiences aside, is it so hard for the entire might of our police force unable to guarantee the security of one individual? Or are the cops only good for shooting unarmed teens?

Hisham needs to stop beating around the bush, and demonstrate either a commitment to truth and justice (yeah, I know), or a complete lack of respect for due process of the law.
