Guess what name is being googled & searched for extensively in Malaysia? Yep, the poor lass – Altantuya Shaaribu – RIP. Its interesting to see people from all walk of life – the makcik pisang goreng at her stall to businessman attending power lunch to politicians napping away in Parliament (oopss!!). Everyone is talking about the case passionately and fervently. One after another theories of conspiracy sprouted up from among the solid gold piece of news and the debris of media junk.

I dont want to talk about the theories. Let’s leave that to Mel Gibson to worry about. I cant help but notice Razak Baginda (RB)’s family who have been unwavering lending him support ever since the whole saga-shit started. The words on the t-shirt they wear day-in-day-out – “I Am Razak Baginda’s wife/dotter/father/brother/sister/friends…” and at the  back “.. And Proud Of It” really an eye-catcher. Such strong support really spells out what type of person RB is to his family. He must be a good son/husband/father/ brother/cousin/uncle etc etc to his family. It really takes more than blood & flesh relationship for anyone to stand behind a man who is under convinction of horrendous, terrible crime. It is faith. You wouldnt have faith in something that you don’t know and don’t believe. 

Some people fumed how come his family could stand up to an adulterer (i read somewhere that he admitted having an affair with the lass), and a murderer (still debatable, lets not get too excited there). I think these people underestimate the power of forgiveness (of his family to his sins – if he is guilty of it) and love (only love enable you to look beyond the shortcomings of a person).

I feel sorry for the aches, hurt, pain and torment caused by the terrible fate that entwined these two families. I cannot pass my judgement whether he is guilty or innocence - for both the murder & adultery – for it is easier to say this person is wrong/right than to wear his shoes and live his life, and understand what is truly going on. I know justice will prevail - be it significantly or secretly, here or in the hereafter.
