Sodomy affair:

1: Saiful’s family now getting involved in the sodomy case?

Have the unseen hands stoop so low as to get them involved?

This is the question that will be in the minds of everybody now.

I am a father, so if I am in their shoes, I might do the same thing.

But the question is why now, and not very early when news broke out.

It puzzles me to some extend, but I maybe wrong. And why talk of DNA only? And not the other circumstances? Questions and more questions. So which came first the chicken or the egg? If know the answer please share

Altantuya Shariibuu murder trial

2: Karpal singh is on the war path again! Yes he has filed a notice in the high court seeking to clarify the famous SD’s of private investigator P Balasubramaniam.

He has pulled a little known clause to us layman, the section 425 CPC.

What that means is "any court may at any stage of any inquiry, trial or other proceedings, summon any person as a witness or recall and re-examine any person already examined if his evidence appears to be essential.

That means he is seeking to call to stand the following VVIPs:

Najib, DSP Musa Safri and lawyer Dhiren Rene Norendra.

Wow, I hope the lion of jelutong is not going to do another Houdini, just like our famous PI .

Update on Anwar:

3: After giving his much needed statement to the ACA this morning on the IGP and the AG, anwar gave the thumbs up, when questioned by reporters about the lawsuit the IGP filed against anwar for defamation, today in the high court. The IGP , to be fair did give anwar a deadline to retract his allegations and to pay a large amount of $RM. But if your thinking and my thinking runs in sycn, then I would say, shaft it and bring it on. To court we go and I will wash your dirty linen in the public for all to see. Every dog has his day and the day of reckoning is at hand. Wait, wait , wait a minute, the last I heard the courts are full till 2015. I hope I will still be kicking to see the daylight of this case. And to make matters more interesting, listen to what the AG says:

Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail is said to be considering a similar suit.

Hmmm, seems to be considering? Why the hesitation?. You have the BN machinery behind you, don’t worry, AG! Bring it to court. Anwar is 60 now, by the time these case sees any light, he will be to old to remember anything. Go for it……

The ACA has this to say about this case, and I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed hoping that it be true:

ACA deputy director-general Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said the agency is investigating Anwar's complaints against the IGP and A-G without referring to the A-G's Chambers.
