'Who's stopping you, Pornthip?'

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail said Monday that Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand was welcome to testify in Teoh Beng Hock’s inquest as there were no obstacles to stop her from doing so. - The Star
 *****************************************************************
She had reportedly pulled out from the ongoing case, claiming she was forced to do so because of "political pressure" from Putrajaya that could affect her work in southern Thailand.

Nazri believes that Dr Pornthip is lying because she cannot defend her testimonial in the inquest.

"That is why I said that she is a liar. I do not believe that the Malaysian government and our officials would harass her and stop her from coming.

"We know that if she has been allowed to enter the first time, why should we stop her from entering the second time? The date was also delayed to allow her to come.

"In her earlier testimony, she had said something that was sensational.

"It would be obvious that the government is trying to hide something if a high level government official tries to block her entry. - Malaysian Mirror
Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein is the Home Minister, and Nazri is a de facto Law Minister ,  a minister in the Prime Minister's Department. Both are ministers, but the words from the Home Minister is soothing, Nazri's are unfriendly and unfair.  I am just wondering,  didn't they find out more information or "look into the case" before they made such public statement?
