family feud

The passing of Ying Ying has triggered a family feud betwen the maternal and paternal grandparents.

Actually, in my opinion, it was bound to happen. It is nothing personal against each other. But the circumstances are too difficult for them to digest. They need to vent their frustrations some where. My heart goes out to both families.

Nobody wanted it to happen. But it has happened. Ying Ying’s grandfather, Ooi Choon Peng, 52, a hawker, who sobbed throughout the press conference felt hurt by comments against his son.

“My granddaughter is dead and they want to put the blame on my son? He (Eng Chew) has told me he now plans to leave this ‘place of sadness’,” he said yesterday and urged police to solve the case quickly.

Meanwhile the police have stressed that Ying Ying’s dad is not a suspect.

Ying Ying’s paternal grandmother described her granddaughter as a cute girl. “She was an obedient child. Ying Ying is dead. There is no need to act like this since we have not come out and blamed them.”

Meanwhile all evidence has been sent to the Chemistry Department in Kuala Lumpur for analysis.

In my post yesterday, I was taken in by Jess Teh who claimed her daughter disappeared after she left the toddler Shearwey Ooi Ying Ying in her car to pay a parking ticket. Police have since remanded her.

This story shocks the whole nation. Sometimes when one makes a wrong move, every successive move is already doomed. Jess Teh, the child’s mother (according to The Star) met Ong, a former karaoke lounge manager, currently unemployed about a year ago and they moved in together about three months ago. Since then, her life can’t have been too good.

PENANG: Four-year-old Shearwey Ooi Ying Ying is dead, three days after she was reported missing. I was worried this would happen when there was a media blitz on the little girl.

It must have been a difficult decision for the parents. To keep a low profile search would have lessened the chances of finding the child. To launch a high profile search would have meant spooking the kidnappers.

Today has been an eventful day in the trial of Razak Baginda. Razak Baginda’s secretary testified to the goodness of her employer and does not believe he is capable of abetting in the murder of Altantuya Shaariibu. He was described as a humorous man with which all who have seen him on TV can concur.

She testified earlier she had heard Abdul Razak telling the Mongolian woman: “I’ve got nothing to do with you. If you want to do anything, go ahead.”

Siti Aisyah said she and her two colleagues had also been told by Abdul Razak that Altantuya had blackmailed him for money before and that they were not to let her into the office if she showed up.

Meanwhile the 11th prosecution witness said Sirul Azhar Umar did it. There will be a trial within a trial to hear if Sirul Azhar’s confession is admissible Meanwhile backbenchers are furious a doctored pic of Najib has surfaced.

Talk about efficiency of the police force. In Kuala Lumpur, Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye had his car stolen the day after Father’s Day. According to him, there was a pasar malam nearby on the night his car, a Perdana was stolen.

He parked his car as usual the previous night and when he woke up, the car had in his own words, “Diasappeared’. He then informed the police, had his statement taken, the police came to take pics etc etc.

The trial that has riveted the nation continues. However internet rumours of ‘a big figure’ involved seems further from reality now that the father of Altantuya herself has said that her daughter knew somebody in Malaysia. That somebody was named Baginda.

The private investigator hired by Razak Baginda has testified that Razak Baginda had no intention of any harm befalling her. According to press accounts of Razak Baginda’s side of the story, she was harassing him for money, They must have been close at one time for he made payments to her before.

Even a smile or laugh by Razak Baginda has become an issue.
