Altantuyaa • The Captain and the Engineer

The unasked question is not ‘who commissioned the murder’ but ‘who commissioned the investigation of the murder’ and, thereafter, the expose in the media. An engineer impedes the diabolical plan of the captain down below, interrupting the inertia and lagging inputs to the rudder.

Given it was the government-controlled media that broke the story to Malaysians and the world, did anyone consider a power play within the 2006 administration where the Captain deletes the ‘appearance’ of the Mongolian in the immigration records while an Engineer commands an investigation to her ‘disappearance’ with the press in tow; and did anyone contemplate that by moving this morbid event to its logical conclusion, the Malaysian Opposition is unwittingly running the agenda of the Engineer in the power play?

The perpetrator is not the sociopath who possesses charm and spontaneity. It has none. It is not the sociopath that plans its deeds. It does not. The act upon the lass was borne of witlessness and ignorance, resulting in a trail and the stripping thereof by a Machiavelli looming in the background; the one who commissioned the investigation not to be commissioned; the one who exposed mademoiselle’s destruction to the world; the one who abetted his nation its breathing space to promote its street agenda; the one who revealed the machinations behind the cut stones of Jacob and slaughtered gods of the Jain and as he throws his people the bones of the entrepreneur, the investigator, and the co-conspirator, he will paint his masterpiece by wielding the nation’s lawman to break the legs of mademoiselle’s demolisher, oblivious that he is dealing with a nemesis who regards a wound as one opportunity and two wounds as two opportunities; the one who will lead eventually the homeland like Niccolò said he will.
