Dr Pornthip decides to testify after all

Malaysian politics are very much renowned for U-turns and yet another took place yesterday where Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand, the renowned Thai pathologist involved in the Teoh Beng Hock inquest decided that she will be testifying after all. Pornthip was involved in the second autopsy of the late Teoh but has recently said that she is withdrawing from the case due to ‘political pressure’ from the Malaysian government.

Since that statement, politicians from both sides of the divide has come out to blame each other on reasons for her doing so. But yesterday, Pornthip said that she will testify since there is a guarantee from Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein and Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, the AG that she will be safe. She said "I'm willing to go if there is an official guarantee from the government of Malaysia and the Attorney-General's Chambers on my safety as well as the freedom to perform my professional duty as an independent witness for the Teoh case. I accepted an invitation from the Selangor government as a volunteering independent expert because I considered it as a case where a fellow human being has suffered. However, what I have encountered while trying to conduct my work in Malaysia has given me a very uneasy feeling."

Dr Pornthip, she is a brave lady...full marks to her fighting for human justice. She has gained deep admiration from the decent people in Malaysia. We must give her the full moral support...good people are hard to come by....especially in Bolehland, infested with filthy UMNO Melayu swines!

To be fair, Bolehland is not only infested with filthy UMNO Melayu Swines, it is also infested by MCA and MIC lapdogs.

Sometimes just wish these people would just die... like go on a "rakyat-funded" trip somewhere and they get lost/ something.. I'm so sick of reading the news everyday of our politicians masturbating to their own minute/even-can-be-considered-achievements-in-the-first-place achievements.. and yet some simple narrow-minded folks can actually believe them and help them masturbate. I feel pity for these people... as they are so far down at the bottom of the well, they have no idea what achievements are.
