Intimidation of lawyers
After the recent intimidating arrest of Anwar on 16 July, it has been revealed that the police have also called in lawyers in relation to the case of P Balasubramaniam, the private investigator who has gone missing after releasing two contradictory statutory declarations.
This is undisguised intimidation as they know full well that the lawyers cannot reveal any confidential communications between them and their clients. One of the lawyers who was questioned is M Puravalen who was Abdul Razak Baginda's first lawyer in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case.

The controversy then took an enormous toll on the public’s confidence and after he was finally released many a revelation has come to light about the questionable manner in which he was investigated, prosecuted and jailed. For the past few years, the judicial and governmental institutions of Malaysia have been slowly trying to rebuild their image and win back the confidence of the public, until this happened.
This time round, Anwar has once again been accused of sexual misconduct by a young party worker. A police report has been filed, and the Malaysian police have stated that a proper investigation will take place in due course. Anwar’s supporters have been quick to react, claiming that there have even been rumours that Anwar’s life is in danger. Over the weekend Anwar has taken refuge at the Turkish embassy – a move that has now entangled Turkey, an important ally of Malaysia and a move that has attracted the attention of the world media. In less than 24 hours, news of the developments in Malaysia have become headline news worldwide.
