The said declaration also had claims that Najib had a sexual relationship with Altantuya and that he was the one who had introduced Altantuya to Abdul Razak Baginda.
Balasubramaniam said that he was forced to make the declaration under duress. At a press conference in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur this morning, he produced a new statutory declaration .
Also with the PI was his new lawyer. His lawyer, Americk Sidhu, who was with him yesterday was unaware of the latest development. The press conference is still underway.
Yesterday Balasubramaniam made shocking revelations that he had heard from Abdul Razak himself on the links between Najib and Altantuya.
But today he said that he wanted to withdraw the first statutory declaration filed on July 1 and replace it with the new one which he revealed today.
"I wish to retract the first declaration. I was compelled to affirm the July 1 declaration under duress," he said. He however did not reveal who forced him to affirm the first declaration.
Balasubramaniam was hired by Abdul Razak to deal with Altantuya in 2006 when she started ‘harassing' the former head of think-tank and a close confidant of Najib.

PI retracts parts of declaration

KUALA LUMPUR: Political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda's private investigator P. Balasubramaniam on Friday retracted several paragraphs of his statutory declaration which he made yesterday.
Among the parts retracted are that Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak introduced Razak to Mongolian murder victim Altantuya Shaariibuu and that Najib had a sexual relationship with her.
On Thursday, Balasubramaniam claimed in a statutory declaration that the police had omitted pertinent information allegedly linking Najib with the Altantuya murder case.
Balasubramaniam on Thursday declared he had informed police what Razak had purportedly told him prior to Altantuya's murder.
He revealed yesterday the content of the statutory declaration at a press conference organised by PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim together with PKR office bearers, MPs and lawyers at the party's headquarters.
He said Razak had told him that he was introduced to Altantuya by Najib at a diamond exhibition in Singapore and that Najib had told him that he (Najib) and Altantuya had had a sexual relationship and that “she was susceptible to anal intercourse”.
Balasubramaniam said Razak had also told him that Najib had asked him (Razak) “to look after” Altantuya, who was also known as “Aminah”, because he did not want her to harass him now that he was the Deputy Prime Minister.
He claimed Razak had told him that Altantuya had wanted money as she felt entitled to a US$500,000 (RM1.65mil) commission from a submarine deal that she had assisted the Malaysian Government secure in Paris; and that Najib, Razak and Altantuya all had dinner together in Paris.
