STATUTORY
DECLARATION
I, Balasubramaniam a/l Perumal (NRIC NO: 600928-08-6235) a
Malaysian Citizen of full age and residing at No. 32, Jalan Pelangi 1, Taman
Pelangi, Rawang, Selangor do solemly and sincerely declare as follows
:-
1. I have been a police officer with the Royal Malaysian Police Force
having jointed as a constable in 1981 attached to the Police Field Force. I was
then promoted to the rank of lance Corporal and finally resigned from the Police
Force in 1998 when I was with the Special Branch.
2. I have been working
as a free lance Private Investigator since I left the Police Force.
3.
Sometime in June or July 2006, I was employed by Abdul Razak Baginda for a
period of 10 days to look after him at his office at the Bangunan Getah Asli,
Jalan Ampang between the hours of 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m each working day as
apparently he was experiencing disturbances from a third party.
4. I
resigned from this job after 2 ½ days as I was not receiving any proper
instructions.
5. I was however re-employed by Abdul Razak Baginda on the
05-10-2006 as he had apparently received a harassing phone call from a Chinese
man calling himself ASP Tan who had threatened him to pay his debts. I later
found out this gentleman was in fact a private investigator called Ang who was
employed by a Mongolian woman called Altantuya Shaaribuu.
6. Abdul Razak
Baginda was concerned that a person by the name of Altantuya Shaaribuu, a
Mongolian woman, was behind this threat and that she would be arriving in
Malaysia very soon to try and contact him.
7. Abdul Razak Baginda
informed me that he was concerned by this as he had been advised that Altantuya
Shaaribuu had been given some powers by a Mongolian ‘bomoh’ and that he could
never look her in the face because of this.
8. When I enquired as to who
this Mongolian woman was, Abdul Razak Baginda informed me that she was a friend
of his who had been introduced to him by a VIP and who asked him to look after
her financially.
9. I advised him to lodge a police report concerning the
threatening phone call he had received from the Chinese man known as ASP Tan but
he refused to do so as he informed me there were some high profile people
involved.
10. Abdul Razak Baginda further told me that Altantuya
Shaaribuu was a great liar and good in convincing people. She was supposed to
have been very demanding financially and that he had even financed a property
for her in Mongolia.
11. Abdul Razak Baginda then let me listen to some
voice messages on his handphone asking him to pay what was due otherwise he
would be harmed and his daughter harassed.
12. I was therefore supposed to
protect his daughter Rowena as well.
13. On the 09.10.2006 I received a
phone call from Abdul Razak Baginda at about 9.30 a.m. informing me that
Altantuya was in his office and he wanted me there immediately. As I was in the
midst of a surveillance, I sent my assistant Suras to Abdul Razak Baginda’s
office and I followed a little later. Suras managed to control the situation and
had persuaded Altantuya and her two friends to leave the premises. However
Altantuya left a note written on some Hotel Malaya note paper, in English,
asking Abdul Razak Baginda to call her on her handphone (number given) and wrote
down her room number as well.
14. Altantuya had introduced herself to
Suras as ‘Aminah’ and had informed Suras she was there to see her boyfriend
Abdul Razak Baginda.
15. These 3 Mongolian girls however returned to
Abdul Razak Baginda’s office at the Bangunan Getah Asli, Jalan Ampang again, the
next day at about 12.00 noon. They did not enter the building but again informed
Suras that they wanted to meet Aminah’s boyfriend, Abdul Razak
Baginda.
16. On the 11.10.2006, Aminah returned to Abdul Razak Baginda’s
office on her own and gave me a note to pass to him, which I did. Abdul Razak
Baginda showed me the note which basically asked him to call her urgently.
17. I suggested to Abdul Razak Baginda that perhaps it may be wise to
arrange for Aminah to be arrested if she harassed him further, but he declined
as he felt she would have to return to Mongolia as soon as her cash ran
out.
18. In the meantime I had arranged for Suras to perform surveillance
on Hotel Malaya to monitor the movements of these 3 Mongolian girls, but they
recognized him. Apparently they become friends with Suras after that and he
ended up spending a few nights in their hotel room.
19. When Abdul Razak
Baginda discovered Suras was becoming close to Aminah he asked me to pull him
out from Hotel Malaya.
20. On the 14.10.2006, Aminah turned up at Abdul
Razak Baginda’s house in Damansara Heights when I was not there. Abdul Razak
Baginda called me on my handphone to inform me of this so I rushed back to his
house. As I arrived, I noticed Aminah outside the front gates shouting “Razak,
bastard, come out from the house”. I tried to calm her down but couldn’t so I
called the police who arrived in 2 patrol cars. I explained the situation to the
police, who took her away to the Brickfields police station.
21. I
followed the patrol cars to Brickfields police station in a taxi. I called Abdul
Razak Baginda and his lawyer Dirren to lodge a police report but they
refused.
22. When I was at the Brickfields police station, Aminah’s own
Private Investigator, one Mr. Ang arrived and we had a discussion. I was told to
deliver a demand to Abdul Razak Baginda for USD$500,000.00 and 3 tickets to
Mongolia, apparently as commission owed to Aminah from a deal in
Paris.
23. As Aminah had calmed down at this stage, a policewoman at the
Brickfields police station advised me to leave and settle the matter
amicably.
24. I duly informed Abdul Razak Baginda of the demands Aminah
had made and told him I was disappointed that no one wanted to back me up in
lodging a police report. We had a long discussion about the situation when I
expressed a desire to pull out of this assignment.
25. During this
discussion and in an attempt to persuade me to continue my employment with him,
Abdul Razak Baginda informed me that :-
25.1 He had been introduced to
Aminah by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at a diamond exhibition in
Singapore.
25.2 Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak informed Abdul Razak Baginda
that he had a sexual relationship with Aminah and that she was susceptible to
anal intercourse.
25.3 Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak wanted Abdul Razak
Baginda to look after Aminah as he did not want her to harass him since he was
now the Deputy Prime Minister.
25.4 Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Abdul
Razak Baginda and Aminah had all been together at a dinner in Paris.
25.5
Aminah wanted money from him as she felt she was entitled to a USD$500,000.00
commission on a submarine deal she assisted with in Paris.
26. On the
19.10.2006, I arrived at Abdul Razak Baginda’s house in Damansara Heights to
begin my night duty. I had parked my car outside as usual. I saw a yellow proton
perdana taxi pass by with 3 ladies inside, one of whom was Aminah. The taxi did
a U-turn and stopped in front of the house where these ladies rolled down the
window and wished me ‘Happy Deepavali’. The taxi then left.
27. About 20
minutes later the taxi returned with only Aminah in it. She got out of the taxi
and walked towards me and started talking to me. I sent an SMS to Abdul Razak
Baginda informing him “Aminah was here”. I received an SMS from Razak
instructing me “To delay her until my man comes”.
28. Whist I was talking
to Aminah, she informed me of the following :-
28.1 That she met Abdul
Razak Baginda in Singapore with Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
28.2 That she
had also met Abdul Razak Baginda and Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at a dinner in
Paris.
28.3 That she was promised a sum of USD$500,000.00 as commission
for assisting in a Submarine deal in Paris.
28.4 That Abdul Razak Baginda
had bought her a house in Mongolia but her brother had refinanced it and she
needed money to redeem it.
28.5 That her mother was ill and she needed
money to pay for her treatment.
28.6 That Abdul Razak Baginda had married
her in Korea as her mother is Korean whilst her father was a Mongolian/Chinese
mix.
28.7 That if I wouldn’t allow her to see Abdul Razak Baginda, would
I be able to arrange for her to see Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
29. After
talking to Aminah for about 15 minutes, a red proton aeroback arrived with a
woman and two men. I now know the woman to be Lance Corporal Rohaniza and the
men, Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azahar. They were all in plain clothes. Azilah
walked towards me while the other two stayed in the car.
30. Azilah
asked me whether the woman was Aminah and I said ‘Yes’. He then walked off and
made a few calls on his handphone. After 10 minutes another vehicle, a blue
proton saga, driven by a Malay man, passed by slowly. The drivers window had
been wound down and the driver was looking at us.
31. Azilah then informed me
they would be taking Aminah away. I informed Aminah they were arresting her. The
other two persons then got out of the red proton and exchanged seats so that
Lance Corporal Rohaniza and Aminah were in the back while the two men were in
the front. They drove off and that is the last I ever saw of Aminah.
32.
Abdul Razak Baginda was not at home when all this occurred.
33. After the
19.10.2006, I continued to work for Abdul Razak Baginda at his house in
Damansara Heights from 7.00 p.m. to 8.00 a.m. the next morning, as he had been
receiving threatening text messages from a woman called ‘Amy’ who was apparently
‘Aminah’s’ cousin in Mongolia.
34. On the night of the 20.10.2006, both of
Aminah’s girl friends turned up at Abdul Razak Baginda’s house enquiring where
Aminah was. I informed them she had been arrested the night before.
35. A
couple of nights later, these two Mongolian girls, Mr. Ang and another Mongolian
girl called ‘Amy’ turned up at Abdul Razak Baginda’s house looking for Aminah as
they appeared to be convinced she was being held in the house.
36. A
commotion began so I called the police who arrived shortly thereafter in a
patrol car. Another patrol car arrived a short while later in which was the
investigating officer from the Dang Wangi Police Station who was in charge of
the missing persons report lodged by one of the Mongolians girls, I believe was
Amy.
37. I called Abdul Razak Baginda who was at home to inform him of
the events taking place at his front gate. He then called DSP Musa Safri and
called me back informing me that Musa Safri would be calling handphone and I was
to pass the phone to the Inspector from Dang Wangi Police Station.
38. I
then received a call on my handphone from Musa Safri and duly handed the phone
to the Dang Wangi Inspector. The conversation lasted 3 – 4 minutes after which
he told the girls to disperse and to go to see him the next day.
39. On
or about the 24.10.2006, Abdul Razak Baginda instructed me to accompany him to
the Brickfields police station as he had been advised to lodge a police report
about the harassment he was receiving from these Mongolian girls.
40.
Before this, Amy had sent me an SMS informing me she was going to Thailand to
lodge a report with the Mongolian consulate there regarding Aminah’s
disappearance. Apparently she had sent the same SMS to Abdul Razak Baginda. This
is why he told me he had been advised to lodge a police report.
41. Abdul
Razak Baginda informed me that DPS Musa Safri had introduced him to one DSP
Idris, the head of the Criminal division, Brickfields police station, and that
Idris had referred him to ASP Tonny.
42. When Abdul Razak Baginda had
lodged his police report at Brickfields police station, in front of ASP Tonny,
he was asked to make a statement but he refused as he said he was leaving for
overseas. He did however promise to prepare a statement and hand ASP Tonny a
thumb drive. I know that this was not done as ASP Tonny told me.
43.
However ASP Tonny asked me the next day to provide my statement instead and so I
did.
44. I stopped working for Abdul Razak Baginda on the 26.10.2006 as
this was the day he left for Hong Kong on his own.
45. In mid November
2006, I received a phone call from ASP Tonny from the IPK Jalan Hang Tuah asking
me to see him regarding Aminah’s case. When I arrived there I was immediately
arrested under S.506 of the Penal Code for Criminal intimidation.
46. I
was then placed in the lock up and remanded for 5 days. On the third day I was
released on police bail.
47. At the end of November 2006, the D9
department of the IPK sent a detective to my house to escort me to the IPK Jalan
Hang Tuah. When I arrived, I was told I was being arrested under S.302 of the
Penal Code for murder. I was put in the lock up and remanded for 7
days.
48. I was transported to Bukit Aman where I was interrogated and
questioned about an SMS I had received from Abdul Razak Baginda on the
19.10.2006 which read “delay her until my man arrives”. They had apparently
retrieved this message from Abdul Razak Baginda’s handphone.
49. They
then proceeded to record my statement from 8.30 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. everyday for 7
consecutive days. I told them all I knew including everything Abdul Razak
Baginda and Aminah had told me about their relationships with Datuk Seri Najib
Tun Razak but when I came to sign my statement, these details had been left
out.
50. I have given evidence in the trial of Azilah, Sirul and Abdul
Razak Baginda at the Shah Alam High Court. The prosecutor did not ask me any
questions in respect of Aminah’s relationship with Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak or
of the phone call I received from DSP Musa Safri, whom I believe was the ADC for
Datuk Seri Najib Razak and/or his wife.
51. On the day Abdul Razak
Baginda was arrested, I was with him at his lawyers office at 6.30 a.m. Abdul
Razak Baginda informed us that he had sent Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak an SMS the
evening before as he refused to believe he was to be arrested, but had not
received a response.
52. Shortly thereafter, at about 7.30 a.m., Abdul
Razak Baginda received an SMS from Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and showed, this
message to both myself and his lawyer. This message read as follows :- “ I am
seeing IGP at 11.00 a.m. today …… matter will be solved … be cool”.
53.
I have been made to understand that Abdul Razak Baginda was arrested the same
morning at his office in the Bangunan Getah Asli, Jalan Ampang.
54. The
purpose of this Statutory declaration is to :-
54.1 State my
disappointment at the standard of investigations conducted by the authorities
into the circumstances surrounding the murder of Altantuya
Shaaribuu.
54.2 Bring to the notice of the relevant authorities the
strong possibility that there are individuals other than the 3 accused who must
have played a role in the murder of Altantuya Shaaribuu.
54.3 Persuade
the relevant authorities to reopen their investigations into this case
immediately so that any fresh evidence may be presented to the Court prior to
submissions at the end of the prosecutions case.
54.4 Emphasize the fact
that having been a member of the Royal Malaysian Police Force for 17 years I am
absolutely certain no police officer would shoot someone in the head and blow up
their body without receiving specific instructions from their superiors
first.
54.5. Express my concern that should the defence not be called in the
said murder trial, the accused, Azilah and Sirul will not have to swear on oath
and testify as to the instructions they received and from whom they were
given.
55. And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing
the same be true and by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration
Act 1960.
