1. Najib’s Government claims that Al-Jazeera is trying to subvert his Government with the half-hour documentary on murder in Malaysia. It claims there is no truth in the report.
2. If the Government thinks there is no truth in the documentary, then it should sue Al-Jazeera for defamation.
3. Al-Jazeera is watched by millions throughout the world. Most will believe what they see. Merely saying that it is not true may convince some Malaysians but will not convince foreigners.
4. After all during the Merdeka month Al Jazeera showed a glowing documentary on Malaysia, including its PM. Viewers have a choice to believe which documentary.
5. This new documentary will blacken not only Najib’s name but the whole country as well. It is not pleasant to be told that the Prime Minister of Malaysia may be involved in a murder case.
6. Najib and his Government have a duty to clear our name. Proof must be given that the murder, the cover-up, the police involvement and Razak Baginda were in no way guilty of the terrible crime. The Judiciary including the AG’s Chambers too must clear their names especially with regard to the acquittal of Razak Baginda and the appeal by the Attorney General which was confined only to the two policemen. They were retried and were found guilty and sentenced to be hanged to death by the Appeals court.
7. Already Malaysians abroad are being asked what has happened to our country. This new episode is not going to improve the image of the country after the other scandals.
8. The Government must take this documentary film seriously and try to clear our name. Taking it off Al Jazeera in Malaysia would not change anything. The documentary has gone viral in Malaysia and is still shown throughout the world.

1. Kerajaan Najib mendakwa bahawa Al-Jazeera cuba menggulingkan Kerajaan dengan dokumentari setengah jam mengenai pembunuhan di Malaysia. Ia mendakwa tidak ada kebenaran dalam laporan itu.
2. Jika sekiranya Kerajaan fikirkan tidak ada kebenaran dalam dokumentari ini, maka ia perlu menyaman Al-Jazeera kerana menfitnah.
3. Al-Jazeera ditontoni berjutaan orang di seluruh dunia. Kebanyakan akan percaya apa yang mereka lihat. Dengan hanya mengatakan bahawa ia tidak benar boleh meyakinkan sesetengah rakyat Malaysia tetapi tidak akan meyakinkan orang asing.
4. Sesungguhnya semasa Bulan Kemerdekaan Al Jazeera telah menunjukkan dokumentari gemilang mengenai Malaysia, termasuk Perdana Menteri. Penonton mempunyai pilihan untuk percaya mana-mana dokumentari.
5. Dokumentari baru ini bukan akan hanya menghitamkan nama Najib tetapi seluruh negara juga. Tidak menyenangkan diberitahu bahawa Perdana Menteri Malaysia mungkin terlibat dalam satu kes pembunuhan.
6. Najib dan Kerajaan beliau mempunyai tanggungjawab untuk membersihkan nama kita. Bukti perlu diberi bahawa pembunuhan ini, penyembunyian (cover-up), penglibatan polis dan Razak Baginda tidak sama sekali bersalah atas jenayah yang dahsyat ini. Badan Kehakiman termasuk Pejabat Peguam Negara juga perlu membersihkan nama mereka terutamanya yang berkaitan dengan pembebasan Razak Baginda dan rayuan oleh Peguam Negara yang terhad kepada dua anggota polis sahaja. Mereka telah dibicara semula dan didapati bersalah dan dihukum gantung sampai mati oleh Mahkamah Rayuan.
7. Sudah pun rakyat Malaysia di luar negara ditanya apa yang telah berlaku kepada negara kita. Episod baru ini tidak akan meningkatkan imej negara ini selepas skandal-skandal yang lain.
8. Kerajaan mesti mengambil serious filem dokumentari ini dan cuba untuk membersihkan nama kita. Mengeluarkannya dari Al Jazeera di Malaysia tidak akan mengubah apa-apa. Dokumentari ini telah tersebar luas di Malaysia dan masih ditayangkan di seluruh dunia.
