A Desperate Attempt on Altantuya's High-Profile Photo

Malaysian and the rest of the world (at lest the rest of South-East Asia) are fully aware of the Altantuya Trial. The Mongolian beauty was murdered in an unimaginable way, second only to the Mona Fandey case. In the Mona Fandey case, which involved a politician (Dato' Mazlan Idris), the victim was murdered, cut into 18 pieces, and then burried. And mysteriously, The victim's testis couldn't be found. As for Altantuya, she was murdered, and then exploded with a C4 into God-knows-how-many pieces. Equally gruesome in their own ways.

Recently, one of the witnesses claimed that she saw a picture of Altantuya with the Deputy Premiere and Razak Baginda. Of course, the Deputy Premiere would deny such claim, saying that he had never met Altantuya. Maybe he did met Altantuya, but given his status and the rumours flying around him, perhaps he did met Altantuya, but she was never registered in his mind. Afterall, a Deputy Premiere meets a lot of people. It would be a great discovery if he could actually remember all the people he had met.

And today (or was it last night), one of the Alternative Parties decided to take a desperate attemp, taking advantage of the photo claim against the Deputy Premiere. This is the picture that they produced, claim to be "REAL":


Okay, concentrate on the Deputy Premiere. Compare his sitting posture with the posture in this picture:


I'm disappointed. TOTALLY disappointed. We have high hopes for the Alternative Front, but this is all they could muster as an answer to our hope? Seriously, where did the Anwar Ibrahim that I once revered went? Is the one released from the prison is a mere Doppelganger; an evil clone? The image of Anwar Ibrahim that I have is one who will never resort to cheap tactics against his opponent. Then again, perhaps it was all just an act. It's plainly political, after all.
