RPK jabs AG below the belt, exposes 'affair'

By FMT Staff,

KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin has dropped another scandal bombshell, implicating none other than Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail.

In a posting titled "Okay, what about this affair then?", Raja Petra accused the nation's top lawyer of being romantically involved with the AG Chambers' head of international affairs Azailiza Mohd Ahad.

The blogger, who continues to be a thorn in the side of the government, had recently exposed the alleged affair between Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan and deputy public prosecutor Farah Azlina Latif.

Saiful is the star witness in Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim's Sodomy II trial while Farah was part of the prosecution team.

Although Gani refused to comment on the veracity of the Saiful-Farah tryst allegation, he, however, revealed that the latter had been dropped from the case, prompting the defence to file an application to have the case struck out.

“Why does the A-G not want to confirm or deny the allegation that a member of his team is bonking the prosecution’s key witness?” asked Raja Petra. “Would it not be easy if he just denied it and solved the entire problem?”

“He is not prepared to risk his neck, first of all, because he knows it is true and he knows that if he tries to deny it more shit is going to hit the fan. But more importantly, he is worried that if he denies it then we would bring out another allegation of an affair, this time involving him and Azailiza,” he added.

'It is no secret'

No stranger to ruffling feathers of the prominent, Raja Petra went on to claim that Gani's alleged affair was common knowledge.

“Everyone knows about this affair. It is no secret. The AG and Azailiza (photo: right) make frequent trips overseas together and to save taxpayers’ some money, they share a hotel room rather than book separate rooms,” he said.

“There appears to be a hell of a lot of bonking going on in the Palace of Justice. And with the chief justice illegally marrying a second wife in Thailand and then destroying the evidence to escape prosecution, like our MP from Sabah, it makes one wonder how they even have enough time to prepare for the court cases,” he added.

Raja Petra's latest allegation is bound to incur the wrath of the powers-that-be, and amplify the voices calling on the authorities to track his sponsors and bring them to book.

The blogger, of royal lineage, is believed to be in London.

He became a household known following his string of allegations implicating Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor in the murder of Mongolian national Altantunya Shaaribuu.
