Another conspiracy is brewing. I have identified several inconsistencies in the trial involving this nude squat incident. It is sad when the courts have barred the media from revealing her true identity. Why should they? The clip is easily available and displays her face prominently which brings me to my first point.

The face certainly does not appear to be Malay. I may be wrong but her features are not those of a typical Malay. She could have been easily mistaken as a Chinese.

This secret witness also mentioned that she recognised herself by the hair clasp she wore on that day. Hair clasp? The video clearly shows that the victim was wearing a hairband not a hair clasp.

She also mentioned that she did not notice any windows in the lockup.

She said that while putting on her clothes, she faced away from the policewoman and was not aware if there was a window nearby.

How can that be true when she was clearly looking directly into the direction of the camera twice in that clip. Once when she was turning around before putting on ther clothes and the other time was after she had her blouse on.

“I did less than 10 squats. I felt shamed and angry. Then I was told to put on my clothes. My hair was tied up in a ponytail,” she said.

The number of squats performed was exactly 10, a nice round number that can easily be remembered. After she did her squats, the video clearly showed the woman removing her hairband which remains off during the time she was putting on her clothes. Her hair was only tied during the squats.

THE SURPRISE: The woman who appeared in court was a bit pudgy, not like the slim woman in the video clip. But she had an explanation — she was now a few months pregnant.

She mentioned 3 months pregnant from another source. 3 months? That would not turn her into a "pudgy" lady. Pudgy meaning short and fat. That is only 12 weeks when the stomach is hardly visible and many women remain their usual sizes until much later on. What's happening here?

Petite or pudgy?? Judging from the video, she was about the same height as the policewomen.

There is strong evidence to suggest that this secret witness may not be the women portrayed in the video. The government is certainly attempting to pull a fast one on the general public and at the same time, repairing possible strained relations with China. I think that the courts have to first verify concretely and incontrovertibly that this woman is indeed the one in the video. This is easy to do when her face was clearly visible in the original clip. We need a independant jury to verify that this woman is the person we are looking for.

Right now, there is no one to verify that. The description of the events from this secret witness is suspect in addition to the points above. Someone should take this issue up.
