LAWYERS THROW DOWN THE GAUNTLET

Posted by Unknown On Saturday, July 24, 2010 5 comments
According to a Malaysiakini report HERE, the three lawyers of former private investigator P Balasubramaniam are outraged at allegations that their legal fees were footed by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

The report said:

Placing Anwar's former private secretary Anuar Shaari who made the claims on Thursday in their cross-hairs, the counsel dared him to provide them with evidence.

"I challenge him. Show us what you have. You have nothing, Anuar Shaari, both in your hands and and in your head.

"I am calling him a liar. Anuar is a liar. He is rubbish and tell half-truths," said the visibly upset senior counsel Manjeet Singh Dhillon .

He also refuted Anuar's claims that he had repeatedly made offers to Anwar's one-time supporter S Nallakaruppan to return to PKR. He clarified that he was just trying to get two friends Anwar and Nallakaruppan who were arguing at the time, to reconcile. He asked if such a move was wrong.

Malaysiakini reported that Anuar "urged" the lawyers to declare their salaries and assets to the Inland Revenue Board so that they could prove that they had no links with Anwar. However, the lawyers questioned why it was necessary for them to declare their incomes to a party who was not involved in the case.

Amarjit Singh Sidhu, Americk Singh Sidhu and Manjeet Singh Dhillon held their press conference at the Peninsula Residence All Suite Hotel at 10, Jalan Semantan, Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur at 4.00pm today and had invited Anuar Shaari to attend the press conference to deal with the issues he raised and to produce his evidence of the wild allegations that he made two days ago. The lawyers also announced that they have been working with Balasubramaniam on a pro bono (voluntary) basis.

"We have never requested money and payment. All we are interested is making sure that justice is done," said Americk.

Manjeet also said that Balasubramaniam might release his statement that he sent to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

"The questions may be marked rahsia (secret), but the answers are not. There will be a time when we will release the answers," he said.

Well, the lawyers have thrown down the gauntlet.



We have to see the response from the other side. Whatever it is, many Malaysians want to know the truth and the suspense and various conspiracy theories are wearing us out as we wait for justice to prevail. No more delays please!!!

    Anonymous Malaysia seems to attract many actors / actresses to town lately?
    This Anuar is just another one of them of the many "sudden hero" wanting some limelight badly.

    Just because some lawyers decide to stand on the other side and seeing that justice is seen to be done, we have professional coming out asking them to show their pay-slips ???? What kind of moron is this, huh !
    ~ahoo~
