On July 7, 2008, private eye P Balasubramaniam celebrated his wedding anniversary being interviewed by police officers for about six or seven hours at the Malaysian embassy in Bangkok.
Last Tuesday, he celebrated his anniversary being interviewed in a press conference under far more relaxed circumstances in London. The supporting cast and the location may have changed, but the focus remained the same.
Yet what has often been relegated to a footnote has been the tribulations of the man himself.

Balasubramaniam's lawyer, Americk Sidhu says, "Everybody's focusing on the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu and who's behind it." Americk also said there was another issue here which was equally important and it was the way Balasubramaniam was treated after he released his first statutory declaration on the July 3, 2008. Immediately after releasing his first statutory declaration, Balasubramaniam was apprehended, bribed, cajoled, threatened and removed from Malaysia.
The video of Balasubramaniam's interview in Singapore last November by three of his lawyers gave lengthy details regarding his experience starting from July 3, 2008 are available on Youtube:
