PETALING JAYA, Feb 10 – Carpet dealer Deepak Jaikishan (pic) today once again urged Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor to reveal publicly their alleged links with Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.
“Will Najib, Rosmah and others come to the court as witnesses if subpoenaed over the matter? Will they tell the truth under oath?
“Of course, this can only happen if the police and the MACC investigate my claims on the matter against them. Will this be done?” asked Deepak today.
Speaking to FMT, the former close aide of Rosmah said he had made countless accusations against Najib, Rosmah, their lawyers as well as certain Umno leaders but so far no one has responded to rebut him.
“The police have not started any investigations on the criminal breach of trust case involving a Defence Ministry land and an Umno senator.
“Likewise, no action seems to be forthcoming on my accusations about Altantuya’s death. Everyone concerned seems to be acting like a demigod and pretend not to have heard anything that I have said,” he added.
He said that he was confident nothing would be done as long as Najib and Umno remained in power.
He added that Umno under Najib was completely paralyzed with party leaders and ministers end up being part of a lame duck government.
“I only hope that truth and justice will prevail under a new Malaysian administration,” he said.
Recently Deepak sought immunity from Pakatan Rakyat for him to turn state witness if Pakatan forms the next government after the general election.
Pakatan on its part said that the Whistleblower Act 2010 and Witness Protection Act 2009 were sufficient in according protection to Deepak and urged him to write to the Attorney General to provide him with the necessary legal protection.
Deepak is currently providing statements to the MACC on Najib and Rosmah’s alleged links to the 2006 murder of Altantuya.
Deepak had previously alleged that he paid a substantial sum of money to the premier’s family to be a party in a defence project deal headed by Selangor Wanita Umno chief Raja Ropiaah Raja Abdullah.
The businessman also claimed that Rosmah had asked his help in persuading private eye P Balasubramaniam to repudiate his first statutory declaration implicating Najib in Altantuya’s murder.
Today, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad urged Najib not to entertain Deepak’s accusations.
“When you are the prime minister, people say all sorts of things. When I was prime minister also they accused me of corruption … I don’t have to respond,” he said.
Najib had previously dismissed Deepak’s claims on the grounds that he (Deepak) was not credible.
FMT also learnt that Deepak would be holding a press conference next Wednesday at the AG Chambers in Putrajaya along with his lawyers.
