Lawyer Americk Sidhu said he has no choice but to reserve the right to bill private investigator P Balasubramaniam's widow, A Santamil Selvi, for his legal services.

This is in the wake of Selvi's press conference on Saturday, where she allegedly accused Americk, Kapar MP G Manivannan, and Subang MP Sivarasa Rasiah of promising to provide her with living expenses on condition of agreeing to an interview with Australian journalists.

She allegedly said she was to exaggerate the facts involved in the murder of the Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu, and had said that these are lies not to be trusted.
