MACC was prepared to meet Balasubramaniam to record his statement at any location deemed suitable by the private investigator, he said in a written reply to a question by Lim Lip Eng (DAP-Segambut).

Lim had asked whether MACC was willing to go to England to record Balasubramiam's statement in front of his lawyer.

Balasubramaniam created controversy on July 3 2008 when he distributed a sworn deposition in connection with the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu at a press conference at the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) office in Kelana Jaya.

The next day, the private investigator retracted the sworn deposition and distributed another sworn deposition at a press conference before leaving the country with his family.
