Today, Malaysia Today is running a spot the spin contest. See if you can spot the spin from what I actually said in my interview in Australia with regards to the Statutory Declaration that I signed in 2008 and what I told the police during my interrogation. Hint: look for the key words.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

First the spin by Umno website Malaysia Instinct:

RPK...and the lying continues....

By:  Fareed Dawood

We’ve heard how heroes went to jail or even died for what they believe in.

Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Suu Kyi to name a few heroes who stand faithfully firm and unmoved despite the consequences.  For true heroes, die they would, if their death could mark a statement of their fight.  Run, is certainly not an option.

Never before a hero flee when called to face the music.  In fact, even an ordinary man without heroic attributes wouldn’t run away when given a chance to prove his words in the court of law should he believes that he is right. 

Claiming that the court will not be fair or that you will be put under ISA should you not flee, are mere excuses used by cowards and the guilty ones.

Like I said, true heroes would be willing to face anything in their fight for the truth because ‘faith’ is the key word for a hero’s strength.  The guilty ones however, can never depend on ‘faith’ to help them get through the trouble they themselves have created.

Somehow, there are Malaysians who look upon Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK), a true coward and a fugitive, as a hero.  Not many of them anymore though, as some have started to realize what a fool they were for believing in him all these years.

RPK, once slipped his finger and wrote that BN is more transparent and open in terms of handling criticisms and maybe more professional in administration too, compared to PR.   This proves that even though RPK is aware of PR’s incapability to rule the country, he chooses to continue fighting (read: lying) for PR.

This is typical for someone who is unable to get a decent, honest, real job for a living.   RPK needs money for his wife’s breast cancer treatment and for his lavish and carefree lifestyle.

For that, RPK strike another lie just to divert attention from Anwar’s sex video which is giving PR a serious migraine that just won’t go away.  This time RPK implicates a carpet businessman, Deepak Jaikishan in private investigator, P.Balasubramaniam’s controversial statutory declarations.

In retaliation, Deepak says he will sue RPK for the malicious stories if the latter returns to Malaysia.  Deepak also said that he will also consider taking legal action against RPK in the UK.  

But for RPK, this is just another lawsuit for another lie.   Note that this guy is immune to lying, he lives in a lie and he will die lying.  Mark my word.  Lawsuits, justice and truths mean nothing to him.  As long as he can go on drinking and living a ‘wild’ life, he has no trouble sleeping, knowing the damage he caused to his own country.  

Before this, RPK was served with a three-page registered letter from legal firm Gab, Rao & Chuah,  demanding him to issue an "unreserved and unqualified" apology to be published in websites and all national papers and pay RM1 million in damages (which will be donated to a charitable foundation) for a defamation suit filed by Lieutenant Colonel Aziz Buyong.

The Army officer is one of three individuals (other than the two cops who have been charged for Altantuya Sharibuu's murder) whom RPK swore were present when Altantuya was blown up with C4 explosives.

The officer was proven not guilty.  Naturally, he decided to get RPK to pay for all the lies and the damage done to his life.

RPK was also charged by the government for sedition for publishing the article “Let’s send the Altantuya murderers to hell” where he claimed that the PM and his wife were somehow involved in the murder. 

The lie didn’t stop there, RPK even promoted an idea that Rosmah, the PM’s wife was present at the murder scene.

There was also a defamation suit filed by prominent lawyer, Datuk Seri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah against RPK for writing malicious articles concerning him.  RPK offered no defense in the case.

There are many others who fell victim of RPKs lie but decided not to entertain this mentally unstable blogger.

But for all other lies that were taken to court, never once did RPK dare to even be there gentlemanly, to lay out all the evidence to support all his stories.   On the contrary, almost everyone mentioned in his stories came out to deny or rebut or challenge his facts.

Baseless stories and lies can only work for some time.  We have seen where lies have taken Anwar and his family.  We have seen how flip-flopping and inconsistencies have taken Nik Aziz.  We are now witnessing how double standard and racially biased actions have led Lim Kit Siang and his son.  We have also seen where hypocrisy have taken Zaid Ibrahim.

They are all going down, whether they realize it or not. 

And RPK is just a tool for these useless leaders.  A tool can only last for as long as the leaders and the money last.  It may be forever, though, with the kind of fund that these people are accessible to.

But then, with faith, I believe that nothing last forever in this world – not even the world itself.  Malaysians may continue living in peace and harmony under BN’s ruling.  RPK, his wife, Anwar, Zaid and all the useless leaders of PR may continue to try to destroy us.

So, let’s just put our faith in Allah to save us from these monsters.  InsyaAllah, with faith, the good will always win.

Then the Bernama spin:

Raja Petra Denies Implicating Najib, Rosmah In Altantuya's Murder

(Bernama) -- Malaysia Today founder and editor, Raja Petra Kamarudin, has revealed that his statutory declaration (SD) linking Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak with the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu was made based on information and demand by several individuals aimed at preventing Najib from becoming prime minister.

He said he had never accused the prime minister or his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor of being involved in the murder of the Mongolian woman and that he no longer believed the story of these individuals.

He added that these individuals were connected to several politicians including Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and that they had put pressure on him to do what he did to prevent Najib from taking over from Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who was relinquishing the post.

"I no longer accept the story. I think it's quite impossible. It can't be that the prime minister's wife would want to go to such place; it's a jungle. I'm imagining, climbing up the hill, going into the jungle at night, at 12 midnight, I think it's quite impossible," he said in an exclusive interview with TV3 Group Editor Datuk Ashraf Abdullah in Perth, Australia, recently.

The interview was aired through TV3's primetime news, Buletin Utama, Wednesday night.

Raja Petra said in the SD he made on June 18, 2008, he had stated that he received information from several individuals claiming that Rosmah was at the scene where Altantuya was murdered.

"In my SD, I said that these people had told (me) and for these people to come forward and tell their stories, and for the authority to investigate and call these people.

"That is what I've written in the SD. I've never raised any accusation. I didn't say I knew that the prime minister's wife was at the scene at that time," he said.

He said: "I did not say. I did not make such accusation. All I said was that there were people telling stories but it's up to the authorities to investigate the matter further, and for these people to come forward.

"And I've mentioned the names of these people. I mentioned their names during the police investigation," he said, identifying the individuals as Nik Azmi Nik Daud, John Pang and blogger Din Merican.

And the one from The Malay Mail:

RPK claims Anwar's aides told him of Najib's link to Altantuya murder

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Today founder and editor, Raja Petra Kamarudin, has revealed that his statutory declaration (SD) linking Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak with the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu was made based on information and demand by several individuals aimed at preventing Najib from becoming prime minister.

The interview was aired through TV3's primetime news, Buletin Utama, tonight.

Raja Petra said in the SD he made on June 18, 2008, he had stated that he received information from several individuals claiming that Rosmah was at the scene where Altantuya was murdered.

He said a military intelligence officer known as Colonel Azmi Zainal Abidin had also given similar information.

He said in his meeting with Nik Azmi, he had asked him why he was being pressured to make the SD and that he had asked him "What do you hope to achieve?"

Raja Petra said: "He said Pak Lah will relinquish his post, (and) if we don't block Najib, (he) will become the prime minister to succeed Pak Lah."

Raja Petra said he then asked Din Merican to obtain the confirmation from Anwar.

"Din Merican contacted me back (and told me) he had spoken to Anwar and that Anwar had given the green light. He said it's okay, no problem with this man, we can trust what he said; Anwar knows him well and he used to see Anwar often ... this Lieutenant Colonel, and that he had also spoken to Anwar on this issue.

"He told me to proceed. So I proceeded," he said.

Raja Petra said these individuals promised to become a witness if he was charged in court.

The second part of the interview will be aired on TV3's Buletin Utama tomorrow night.

And now the one from The Star:

RPK: I don't believe Najib, Rosmah involved in Altantuya murder

Malaysia Today founder and editor Raja Petra Kamarudin has admitted that he linked Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife to the murder of Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu, even though he himself was doubtful it was true.

He claimed he made a statutory declaration (SD) in 2008 in the belief the order came from Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

In a sensational interview aired over TV3 Wednesday night, he alleged that several politicians had put pressure on him to do what he did to prevent Najib from becoming Prime Minister.

He said he no longer believed the story of these individuals.

"I no longer accept the story. I think it's quite impossible. It can't be that the Prime Minister's wife would want to go to such place; it's a jungle.

The second part of the interview will be aired Thursday night. - Bernama

This is the transcript of the interview posted on www.tv3.com.my

Saya tidak pernah menuduh Perdana Menteri atau isterinya terbabit dalam kes pembunuhan kes Altantuya Sharibuu.

Itu pengakuan pengendali laman web Malaysia Today Raja Petra Kamarudin yang muncul buat pertama kali setelah sekian lama menghilangkan diri.

Raja Petra berkata, beliau didesak dan dipengaruhi untuk berbuat demikian oleh beberapa individu yang tidak mahu Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak mengambil-alih sebagai Perdana Menteri.

Dalam satu temubual eksklusif bersama Ashraf Abdullah yang menjejaki beliau di Perth, Australia baru-baru ini, Raja Petra berkata, akuan bersumpah yang dibuat beliau pada 18 Jun 2008, hanyalah bersandarkan maklumat yang diperolehi daripada beberapa individu ini

Menurut Raja Petra, ramai orang termasuk polis, membuat tuduhan tanpa meneliti akuan bersumpahnya.

Dalam akuan bersumpah itu Raja Petra berkata, beliau menerima maklumat daripada beberapa individu kononnya isteri Perdana Menteri Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor berada di tempat kejadian ketika Altantuya dibunuh.

RAJA PETRA KAMARUDIN, PENGENDALI BLOG MALAYSIA TODAY "Di dalam sd saya tadi saya telah bercerita bahawasanya orang ini telah beritahu dan biarlah orang ini yang datang dan bercerita. Dan pihak berkuasa perlu siasat dan panggillah orang ini. Itu yang saya tulis dalam sd. Saya sendiri tidak timbulkan apa-apa tuduhan. Saya tidak kata saya tahu yang isteri timbalan perdana menteri semasa itu ada di tempat kejadian. Saya tidak cakap. Saya tidak buat satu tuduhan seperti berikut. Yang saya kata ada orang yang bercerita tetapi bergantung kepada pihak berkuasalah untuk menyiasat perkara ini lebih lanjut lagi dan untuk orang-orang ini kedepan. Dan saya sebut nama-nama orang ini. Saya sebut semasa siasatan polis."

Raja Petra berkata, beliau menerima maklumat berkenaan, daripada beberapa individu yang mempunyai kaitan dengan beberapa tokoh politik, termasuk Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Mereka ialah Nik Azmi Nik Daud, John Pang dan penulis blog Din Merican.

Menurut Raja Petra seorang pegawai perisik angkatan tentera dikenali sebagai Leftenan Kolonel Azmi Zainal Abidin juga memberi maklumat yang sama.

"Saya tidak terima lagi cerita itu. Sebab saya rasa mungkin mustahil kot. Takkanlah isteri Perdana Menteri nak pergi tempat itu kerana tempat itu kerana kawasan itu tempat hutan dan saya dok fikir dia nak panjat bukit, masuk hutan tengah tengah malam, pukul 12 malam, saya ingat mustahil kot."

Tambah Raja Petra, tujuan mereka ialah untuk memastikan Datuk Seri Najib tidak mengambil alih sebagai Perdana Menteri apabila Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi meletakkan jawatan.

Menurutnya dalam pertemuan dengan Nik Azmi, beliau bertanya kenapa beliau didesak untuk membuat akuan bersumpah itu.

"What do you hope to achieve? Dia kata Pak Lah akan letak jawatan, kalau kita tak block Najib, Najib akan menjadi Perdana Menteri, ganti Pak Lah"

Menurut Raja Petra, beliau kemudian meminta Din Merican untuk mendapatkan pengesahan Datuk Seri Anwar.

"Din Merican pun contact saya balik dia kata dia dah cakap dengan anwar dan anwar pun bagi green light. Dia kata ok, orang ini no problem, apa dia cakap kita boleh percaya. Anwar pun kenal baik dengan dia ini dan dia pun biasa jumpa anwarleftenan kolonel ini. Dan dia pun banyak bercerita kepada anwar tentang isu inidia kata proceed. Saya pun proceed."

Beliau berkata, kesemua individu ini berjanji akan menjadi saksi sekiranya beliau di dakwa di mahkamah.

Ikuti bahagian kedua temubual ini dalam Buletin Utama esok.

Fareed Dawood, a mangolian woman that was believed to be pregnant was killed using C4. C4 was from the Malaysian Army. Najib should have resigned as the defense minister when she was killed, regardless of whether he or Rosmah killed her or RPK's source bluffed. Now he's the Prime Minister of Malaysia? You got to be kidding me... WE ARE NOT THAT BLIND! BN is going down down down and you're going down with them...

In your article, you used the word 'lie' so many times. This is entirely typical of an accomplished liar. A pathological liar like you will always claim others are lying but you are blind to your own lying.

"This is typical for someone who is unable to get a decent, honest, real job for a living."
How decent and honest are you? A mediocre writer like you is employed by Umno to lie. Umno doesn't care you have no quality as a writer and therefore not fit to be a writer. All your Umno masters want is someone who can just lie for them. And you fit the role very well. Do you possess the kind of dignity RPK has? Unlike you, he does not need to lie and lie to earn a living. He commands considerable respect among a significant section of the people. People probably find you despicable for a total lack in personal principle and morality to be associated with a highly corrupted Umno.

"But then, with faith, I believe that nothing last forever in this world – not even the world itself. "
This is the only part that is not a lie in your whole article. For this, I find myself agreeing with you. Yeah indeed, nothing last forever. Umno is not going to last forever. Its days are numbered, so automatically are yours.

EASY TO SPOT ANY SPIN FROM ANY GOMEN MSM.
EVERY SENTENCE OF THE GOMEN MSM IS INTENDED AS A SPIN. I WIN.
TIME IS THE ONLY TELLER OF TRUTHS. WE SHALL SEE.
WITH THE MAMAK'S HAND BRED KANGAROOS STILL HOPPING AROUND OUR

NO CHANCE.

Open the papers this morn and saw this story about RPK having U-Turned. I thought, must be another spin by MSM. Of course, then it would be wise to read it from the horse’s mouth. So, me scoured the on-line news portals and got this:

“I didn’t accept the story. Because I thought it was impossible. No way that the Prime Minister’s wife can go to the scene as it is in the jungle and I didn’t think she would climb a hill, enter a jungle in the middle of night, at 12 midnight. I thought that was impossible,” he was quoted as saying in the transcript.

The above was garnered from Din Merican’s blog. And here’s how I perceive what RPK really meant.

RPK, for the life of him, could not believe that a woman, let alone the PM’s wife, can go to the crime scene in the middle of the jungle, in the middle of the night. But more importantly, it doesn’t really matter one iota what he believes in. It is for the authorities to investigate the truth of the story. And thus, the reason for his SD.

HOW A STORY IS TWISTED:


AH CHONG's VERSION:

All my friends told me UMNO is a corrupted party.They said they have evidence to proof UMNO is a dirty party. I asked the police to check with them and find out the truth. I also asked my friends to lodge a police report to reveal UMNO's corrupted acts. I DIDN'T ACCUSE UMNO OF BEING CORRUPT. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF AT THAT TIME, "HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ? DID MY FRIENDS MANAGE TO GET SOLID PROOF OF UMNO'S CORRUPTED WAYS SINCE UMNO IS SUPER SLIMY AND SNAKY? I DON'T BELIEVE IT. MY FRIENDS MUST BE DICKHEADS! DO THEY THINK THEY CAN MAKE THE POLICE BELIEVE THEM? "



MAINSTREAM MEDIA'S VERSION:

Ah Chong said UMNO is a squeaky clean party. Ah Chong said "I DIDN'T ACCUSE UMNO OF BEING CORRUPT. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF AT THAT TIME, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ? I DON'T BELIEVE IT"
Ah Chong also said all his UMNO-hating friends must be dickheads.

Every war has its own strategy, but this Altantuya case is only one of the battles in the main war.
and you cannot use a standard version for every battle. For this battle, it is best for RPK to be a fugitive - and this is working for this battle - the case is still alive and kicking - well at least RPK is kicking and alive.

Now for getting Nik Azmi Nik Daud, John Pang, Din Merican and Anwar on the stand, the PM and his wife needs to be investigated? It think that is the catch..

Dear RPK,

This has been a hot topic in our circle of friends these last few hours.

We still do not agree with the TV3/4 interview. In fact, we prefer you to have that “fugitive tag” with you. You have always preached to us about the Prophet s.a.w. on how he became a fugitive fleeing Makkah to Madinah. In the end he triumphs. So are there many others who are fugitive and being regarded as a “hero” back in their homelands. Ayatolah Khomeni and Baguino Aquino to name a few.

You know what? Knowing how the TV3/4 have the penchant to lie and distort information. . ., the TV3/4 interview is akin to somebody who knows that a person standing behind him is a sodomist, yet he dropped his pants and bend down inviting the sodomist to sodomize him. Sorry, if I have been crude and explicit. . ., but that is what we thought about you having that TV3/4 interview! Inviting them to distort and spin!

We know you can handle the spin, but than, the damage has somehow been inflicted especially to those folks who does not read MT to read your counter-spin from TV3/4!

Whatever it is, it is your call. . ., who are we to tell and chart your life? Wish you best of luck!

In his zest to destroy RPK, Fareed Dawood's piece appears most vicious. So vicious that he did not even realise he might have offended some other country's heroes by inferring them as cowards. Just take one. Take Islamic Iran's Ayahtolla Khomeni for example. Didn't Khomeni take refuge in France for some years before he returned to Iran to rule over the land and change the course of history?

Fareed, do you dare call Ayahtolla Khomeni a coward? Are you a paid mercenary writer or what? You do not seem aware of the bigger picture Malaysia has been ruled by a very corrupt and arrogant UMNO government that need to be changed sooner than later. And people like you are aplenty, unfortunately, abetting rampant corrupt practices and arrogance from this inept government. In the way you are doing it now, you are not doing a good job for yourself, your family and future generations as a Malaysian. Think!

Please allow me to repost my reply here:
"Raja Petra said he had asked Nik Azmi why he was so insistent that he (Raja Petra) make the SD accusing Rosmah of being involved in the case....
"He (Anwar) said proceed. So I proceeded"
This is the report carried by Mkini - relaying the reliability of the intelligence officer and saying Din gave you Anwar's blessings to proceed with the SD is a world of difference.
You do not think so?

Yang Mulia.

You wouldn't have come out with a sworn SD if you did not believe that there were higher level embroilment to Altantuya being C4ed than the mere involvement of Razak Baginda, right?

I am surprised at your naivety.
Why give an interview to TV3 when you bloody well know that it will be spun into bits and used against the opposition in the Sarawak Elections?
Are you happier if PR loses the chance to deny that 2/3 majority to Taib's government?

"It is a fact that Raja Petra called to seek confirmation from Anwar Ibrahim regarding the reliability of a certain military intelligence officer. When I received confirmation from the PKR de facto leader, I relayed it to Raja Petra. That was all to the whole matter." - whose spin indeed?
That was Din Merican's response to RPK's assertations as to what transpired in his communication between him & RPK!!!

BN, 3 days too early, have u guys never learn from your previous sex video backfire?

PR, make good use of this, it will definitely help to garner more votes, especially from fence sitters or those still have doubts with PR.

Now, boomerang this, make good use of this, and WIN BIG in coming Sarawak state election!

Aiyah, you guys really need to learn more about psy-war lah! If the government owned mainstream media goes all the way to Australia to interview me, that means my status is no longer fugitive mah! Get it? Sheesh. We can handle the spinning. But they can no longer call me 'fugitive blogger'. So who wins?

RPK

Sorry, first sentence should have been. . .,; "RPK. . ., on the first place you should NOT have allowed TV3/4 to interview you"

RPK. . ., on the first place you should have allowed TV3/4 to interview you. You know very well they are very good at distorting and spinning lies.

Even the humble TG Nik Aziz's statement was often cut in fragments, than paste it up to depict something which is totally different with what the man had said.

Never again allow the UMNO spin media to interview you! Those low life UMNO lapdog media are not BBC or ABC!

What is the issue? Are the main stream media trying to tell us Najid is not involved in Altantuya murder so he is a good PM?

If Malaysian is given the chance to elect PM directly, then RPK will get the highest vote! He will be the best PM for Malaysia!

But the issue is not about voting in PM. It is about the greed, corruption, abuse of power, and incompetent of UMNO/BN!

The only thing UMNO/BN good at is misleading the nation through main stream media.

Dear RPK
Good will always triumph over evil. We all know you are a good person.
You are lucky they have not fabricated a video of you bonking 1st Lady or 2nd Laddie or 3rd Kiddie like poor Anwar.
Anyway these are desperate times around election time and desperate people do utterly desperate things like trying to bury you with "spliced untruth".
Thank you for soldiering on this energy sapping fight in order to save our butts.
Those of us who have any doubts about your selfless sacrifice for this beloved country are not fit to be Malaysians.
If we ever see you on BN's controlled main stream media then we can safely assumed that government spin has been applied, typical malaysian "gasing" with heavy top-generated spin.
God Bless You RPK

Yes, RPK I also believe you now.
After all Altantuya never came to Malaysia during the time she was supposed to have been murdered, there's no official immigration record of her entering the country!!
I'm not interested in the spin contest - from all the MSM and thatUMNOputra blog, that's to be expected!!
But the Mkini report is a pretty accurate reflection of your "pengakuan" in the Buletin Utama!!
NVM the UMNOputras will only be too happy to help u make another statutory declaration to renounce the first one & I'm sure all the other characters will do likewise very soon!!

In the local TV interview with RPK, he said that PM and his fatso wife did not not murder Altantuya. Does this mean physically murder they not, but ordering the murder, they do? PI Bala told story indicated the fatso was at crime scene. Who to believe?

Here is one:
"He claimed he made a statutory declaration (SD) in 2008 in the belief the order came from Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim."

RPK asked Din Merican to check with Anwar for the reliability of the information. He did NOT received order from Anwar to publish the SD.

I can find at least 15 more of such spins. It is late, I will let others have some fun spotting the spins.

I am with you Pete. I am disgusted by the mainstream media. I refused to watch Malaysian TV, and I have not spent a single cents on any local newspapers for at least 2 years.
