Historical Amnesia
Some people dispute the SD of Azilah. They say its impossible to recall and remember things that happened a long time ago. Even things that happened a week ago we can't remember. They say we are engaging in selective recall.
That's verbal gymnastics. Certain things we just remember. There are no mental exertions. I can also say some people have historical amnesia. They deliberately deny certain things took place.
Can we then deny Altantuya was murdered? She bombed herself. What Azilah said cannot be true. Not possible for Azilah to remember.
Certain things we just can remember. I can remember things 50 years ago. I stayed at 600, Jalan Lipis transit quarters Kuantan. That was over 50 years ago.
I can remember my late father stepping on a nail 50 years ago. Behind our house there was a turi tree. I used to pluck turi leaves to be cooked. Our neighbour was a Singh family Gurbachan Singh.
The point is we can remember things especially those that are important to us and about important people. So if Azilah can remember some details about the killing of Altantuya, that's not strange.
Things about the brain ability may not be amenable to legal machinations all the time.
Historical amnesia allows us to forgive Riza Aziz and allows us to deny that 1mdb took place. Bosku is an angel and that DOJ return of monies to Malaysia is a dream.
