*****************************
The man who created the second SD for Bala is more powerful than Lingam.
Lingam can only control the Chief Justice and wag his tail for Mahathir Kutty.
But Cecil only has to sneeze and Mahathir Kutty, Pak Lah, Najib, Nor Yakob, Daim and certain Royalty will wet their pants.
Complaining to Bar Council is just a waste of time for Cecil can tighten the rope he holds.
Unless of course if the people he controls decide to kill him off first.
Fuad was bummed off with few loose screw and bomb in Sabah, Jalil was drugged and cemented alive in Hong Kong, while Altantuya with C4 in Selangor.
So how will these UMNO Mafia take care of Cecil?
