Just when we thought that the political situation in Malaysia could not get any more exciting – or sensational – it does. It seems every few days, there's a new twist in the political scene that has enthralled a nation.

No one could have anticipated that hot on the heels of an accusation of sodomy directed at de facto PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim that a similar accusation would be directed at Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Rumours of a possible link between Najib and Altantuya have been circulating ever since the Mongolian translator was brutally murdered. What makes the statutory declaration by private investigator, P Balasubramaniam, explosive is his revelation that firstly, Abdul Razak Baginda had told him that it was Najib who first introduced him to Altantuya and secondly, that Najib had a sexual relationship with the woman.

The situation became even more muddled when just a day later, the PI retracted his statutory declaration and introduced a new one, which excludes all references to Najib.
