The book 'Murdered In Malaysia:The Altantuya Story' by author E.S. Shankar has been released for sale at aSarawak Report online portal. CLICK HERE to buy the book.
The author uses the devise of adapting the famous French writer Emile Zola's 'J'accuse' (CLICK HERE and HERE) open letter to the President of France on 13 January 1898, to make an accusation of a state conspiracy to imprison a naval officer on Devil's Island. The accusation by E.S. Shankar is that of the full complicity of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and his wife Rosmah in the murder in 2006 of Altantuya and the cover up thereof.
Here is the extract from pg. 521 of 'Murdered In Malaysia: The Altantuya Story':
I Accuse
For what is a human life worth, if we but stand and stare, while our so-called “democratically elected” government continues to loot and plunder public coffers with impudence and supreme ease, and prime ministers, elected cabinet ministers and appointed senators and their cronies, generals, Attorney-Generals, inspector-generals of police, policemen, anti-corruption officers and judges, sanction murders and willingly and shamelessly cover up for cold-hearted killers and their accomplices who continue to enjoy the good life despite their evil deeds?
Yes, Altantuya was a blackmailer playing for high stakes. She was not a particularly bright schemer. She played her cards all wrong. But she did not deserve to be murdered with such dramatic finality and in such cruel, cold-blooded manner. No human deserves to have their life forfeited for that, especially when others who owe the citizens of Malaysia a duty of care, have, so far, got away, with government complicity, in stealing hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayers’ hard earned money and murder.
And so, in honour of Émile Zola whom I am in awe of for his ‘J’accuse!’. If Zola were a Malaysian and alive today, and knew the facts surrounding the Altantuya murder as he did about the Dreyfus conspiracy, then he would have likely written, proclaimed and accused as follows:
LETTER TO HIS MAJESTY SULTAN ABDUL HALIM, THE KING OF MALAYSIA.
Your Majesty
................
................
I accuse the Prime Minister of Malaysia Najib Tun Razak and his wife Rosmah of being the diabolical creators of this miscarriage of justice and of defending this sorry deed of Altantuya’s murder and that of her unborn baby, over the last nine years, by all manner of ludicrous and evil machinations. I accuse Najib and his wife Rosmah of being the hands, if not behind the conspiracy to murder Altantuya, then most certainly the ones that instituted a complete cover up. Can it be mere coincidence that five persons involved in Altantuya’s murder are all linked to them – their close friend Baginda, ADC Musa Safir, personal bodyguards Azilah and Sirul and personal assistant Nasir Safar? This does not take into account his wife Rosmah Mansor’s involvement, especially in illegally coercing PI Bala into recanting his first SD together with the assistance of Deepak and Najib’s architect brother, Nazim Razak.
I further accuse Najib Tun Razak and Rosmah of abuse of power in directing Boustead Holdings Plc, controlled by 59% major shareholder Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT), a government linked company, to acquire for RM30 million (US$9 million) Deepak Jaikishan’s interest in Astacanggih Sdn. Bhd., and RM$130 (US$41 million) for land that legally had not been transferred to RM$130 (US$41 million) or her company Awan Megah Sdn. Bhd. This was done to stop Deepak from revealing corrupt dealings in land and illegal donations to UMNO in a RM100 million (US$ 31 million) and 223-acre land piratisation deal.
I accuse Abdul Razak bin Abdullah Malim Baginda of complicity in the conspiracy to murder Altantuya and her unborn child, at least by mental weakness, in one of the greatest inequities of the last one hundred years. How dare he quote Martin Luther130 and Shakespeare131, this miserable excuse of a man with no conscience, having fraudulently filched and robbed his fellow citizens and facilitated corrupt kickbacks of RM 575 million (US$180 million).
I accuse Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar of complicity in the same crime, the murder of Altantuya and her unborn child.
I accuse the Attorney-General of Malaysia Gani Patail of assisting the thieving and murderous government of Najib in coercing the judiciary and substituting impartial and learned judges and prosecutors with compliant ones, thus perverting the true course of justice, no doubt, out of that esprit de corps that has transformed the Judiciary and government legal apparatus into an unassailable corrupt body. This is the same worthless merchant of doom and mentally challenged AG who refused to prosecute Ibrahim Ali who had called for the burning of Bibles which contained the word ‘Allah’, on the grounds that his remarks were not aimed at creating racial disharmony (no intent) while prosecuting an opposition politician for merely quoting the law that the Sultans could be prosecuted under the criminal and civil laws of the country, and securing a conviction for it!
I accuse judges Mohammad Zaki bin Yasin of having held in his hands absolute proof of the guilt of Baginda, and CJ Arifin Zakaria, Richard Malanjun, Abdul Hamid, Ahmad Maarop and Suriyadi of covering it up, thus perverting the true course of justice, and making themselves accessories to murder, crime against mankind and justice, as a politically expedient move and a way for the compromised government of Najib to escape the long arms of the law, and save face.
I accuse the police of conducting villainous enquiries, by which I mean a monstrously biased one, by intimidating witnesses and planting evidence, as attested by reports that are imperishable monuments to naive impudence.
I accuse Nazim Tun Razak, brother of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib, of intimidating PI Bala by threatening the lives of his family members, and of causing him to flee overseas in terror, thereby assisting Najib and Rosmah in their conspiracy and cover up of a monstrous crime.
I accuse Deepak Jaikishan of criminality in assisting Najib and Rosmah to intimidate PI Bala to withdraw his 1st SD, thereby perverting the true course of justice. I accuse him also of prostituting himself in offering Ali Baba fraudtrepreneur money-laundering and nominee services, (which has become a crooked culture within UMNO and Najib and his government of thieves), to his “sister” Rosmah Mansor and to UMNO Senator Raja Ropiaah and others, enriching himself in the process at the expense of the citizens of Malaysia, and thereby defrauding them massively to the tune of several hundreds of millions of ringgit, if not billions.
I accuse Cecil Abraham of unpardonable impairment of judgement in illegally drafting the third SD wherein PI Bala recanted his first highly incendiary SD. By so doing, he was a party to a crime in assisting Najib and Rosmah in their conspiracy and cover up.
I accuse former Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, Najib’s predecessor, of doing nothing to bring Altantuya’s murders to book, which is the same as saying he actively encouraged a massive cover up.
I accuse former Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, Najib’s predecessor, of doing nothing to bring Altantuya’s murders to book, which is the same as saying he actively encouraged a massive cover up.
I accuse successive Inspector-Generals of the Royal Malaysian Police, Musa Hassan, Ismail Omar and Khalid Abu Bakar of gross dereliction of duty in not pursuing enquiries to establish who gave Azilah and Sirul the orders to murder, and who criminally supplied them with explosives. It has not escaped public attention that Ismail Omar, a career policeman without an iota of experience whatsoever in foreign affairs, was appointed Malaysian Ambassador to France by Najib in September 2013. What is Najib’s agenda with this outrageous appointment? This comes at a time when SUARAM is actively pursuing its case against DCNS in France for massive corruption in the Malaysian Scorpene submarines government acquisition contracts. France is among the front-runner for the multi-billion ringgit contract for setting up Malaysia’s first nuclear power plant, as well as new fighter jet aeroplanes, in a country where, under Najib’s administration, direct-negotiation contracts classified from prying eyes under the Official Secrets Act, are infinitely preferred to open tender.
I accuse that incumbent and gutless bully IGP Khalid Bakar of gross dereliction of duty in not closely monitoring the movements of Sirul after his acquittal by the Court of Appeal in 2013, and who, following Sirul’s re-conviction on 13 January 2015, vowed to ‘move heaven and earth’ to track down the missing Sirul for whom the Federal Court issued a warrant of arrest, even though rumours of him having fled overseas surfaced as far back as January 2014. This is the worthless and cowardly IGP who sent 20 policemen in January 2015 to arrest Eric Paulsen of Lawyers For Liberty, even though Paulsen had made prior arrangements with the police to give his statement on alleged sedition charges.
I accuse top tier of the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission, its investigating officers and its astounding forty-five “advisors and oversight personnel” (as compared to 300-odd investigators) of being lackeys and lapdogs of UMNO and the ruling party, as they were in covering up the murder of Teoh Beng Hock and Ahmad Sarbaini132, for failing to investigate thoroughly corruption accusations levelled against Baginda, the Ministry of Defence, Navy and government of Malaysia, in the RM 7.5 billion (US$2.3 billion) Scorpene submarines scandal.
I accuse the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), Gerakan and other component political parties in the coalition that forms the ruling government with the United Malay National Organization (UMNO), of despicably failing the citizens of Malaysia in discharging their fiduciary duties to them, and in aiding and abetting the government of murderers and thieves under UMNO and prime minister Najib Tun Razak in their beastly acts heinous crime, by being silent.
Finally, I accuse the government and administration of thieves under Malaysian Prime Minister Najib of using the press and media to conduct an abominable campaign to mislead the general public and cover up their own wrongdoings of corruption and murder of Altantuya arising from the RM7.5 billion (US$2.3 billion or €1.5 billion) Scorpene submarines contracts and illegal and substantially sham “co-ordination and support services” fee of RM 575 million (US$180 million or €115 million) paid to Baginda’s company, Perimekar Sdn. Bhd.
I make these accusations voluntarily.
As for the people I am accusing, I do not know them, I have never met them, and I bear them neither ill will nor hatred. To me they are mere entities, agents of harm to society. The action I am taking is no more than a radical measure to hasten the explosion of truth and justice.
I have but one passion: to enlighten those who have been kept in the dark, in the name of humanity and Altantuya’s family which has suffered so much and is entitled to happiness. My fiery protest is simply the cry of my very soul. Let them dare then to bring me before a court of law. Let them dare to carry out a totally fresh independent investigation and let them dare hold an enquiry into Altantuya’s murder to take place in broad daylight!
We are all of One Race, the Human Race.
I am waiting.
With my deepest respect, Your Majesty
Émile Zola
