Former private investigator P Balasubramaniam today publicly swore that his first statutory declaration in July 2008 linking Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to slain Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu was the truth.
Speaking to reporters after arriving at KLIA this evening, a teary-eyed Balasubramaniam held a copy of the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita and stressed that the statutory declaration (SD) he made to nullify the first document was untrue.
“I swear on this holy book that the first SD is the truth and nothing but the truth. I'm sorry to all of you that the second SD is not true,” he said.

Balasubramaniam's first statutory declaration contained vivid details of his alleged interactions with several personalities leading to Altantuya's final days.
Among other issues, he claimed that Najib was close to Altantuya.
Just one day after making the SD public, he withdrew it with asecond SD, claiming that he had made the first under duress.
Following this episode, he fled the country and has since claimed that the first was true and it was the second SD that was made under duress.
'They can't afford to harm me'
Balasubramaniam is now back in the country alone to campaign for Pakatan Rakyat, leaving his wife and children abroad.

Balasubramaniam said that he would be revealing more about the Altantuya murder in the coming days.
"On that day, I will let you know what happened, inch-by-inch," he said.
Asked if he was still concerned over his safety, Balasubramaniam said yes.
“But I tell you, if something happens to me tomorrow, where will you point the finger?
“There has already been one murder. Do you want a second murder?” he said, cryptically.

To another question, Balasubramaniam said he would not actively seek collaboration with Deepak Jaikishan, the well-connected carpet trader who was instrumental in the preparation of SD2.
“(But) if he (Deepak) comes forward and wants to work with me, I am okay with it. But I won’t go looking for him,” he said.
