Sirul has made some highly relevant points in yet another ill-advised outburst from his prison cell. The first is that the key witness in the Altantuya case, who needs to be hauled before detectives and then deposed in court is his former Special Actions Unit boss, Musa Safri.
Musa Safri was the man in charge of Najib’s protection at the time of the murder and we already know he was tasked with managing the problem over Altantuya’s threats to Razak Baginda. Later he escaped being called as a witness (or rather suspect) and went on to be promoted.
The key question Musa Safri is required to answer is who instructed him to order his juniors to kill Altantuya and why? Evidence that the young woman appeared to be pregnant and was claiming she knew who the father was seem relevant in this context of a motive.
Sirul has raised another shocking matter, which Sarawak Report has already heard of through other sources. He has stated that his ‘Special Actions Unit’ was tasked with other murders also. What Sirul describes are known as extra-judicial killings. It is a hallmark of brutal dictatorships that have abandoned the rule of law.
The key witness so far kept out of court, Musa Safri, needs to give detailed responses on this matter also.
As for Sirul, he pulled the trigger and took the cash. By this stage his testimony is of limited value given his constant lies and willingness to continue to play Najib’s games in return for cash, instead of confessing to the truth over his months in detention in Australia.
Sirul needs to realise that what he has to say no longer counts for much. He needs to change his mindset if he thinks he can continue to blackmail and bargain over the terms of his just punishment – now Malaysia has returned to the rule of law.
Sirul willing to assist in Altantuya case – with a full pardon
