Mahathir said Najib Walking a tightrope with Razak Baginda Pandora's box forced open

On Rosmah's order Razak Baginda said my love was terminated

Now that the suspense over Najib must step down as  immediately said Mahathir

The prosecution of the case has been tardy from the start, with the failure to establish the motive for Altantuya’s murder the most questionable of all. Through the case, the labored attempts by both prosecution and defence to obstruct the probe into any involvement of then defence minister were also most bewildering.

Who benefits from killing and blowing up an allegedly pregnant Mongolian woman? Who has the motive? Abdul Razak Baginda has suddenly become the mouse that roars. Why stay in England and make these comments? Return to Malaysia and vindicate yourself if you think that public perception is wrong.

 Why was her immigration records deleted? During the trial, why did the prosecution and defence object to any question that touched on a political conspiracy, which the judge dutifully disallowed?
Ask anybody in the police force in private and they will swear that Sirul and Azilah Hadri did not go on a frolic of their own to kill Altantuya with C4 explosives but rather were told to do so by very powerful individuals.


If the duo were only told to deal with the problem since Altantuya had been harassing Abdul Razak for money or other favours, why kill her when all they could have done was to warn her or get her deported out of the country?

Then you have the judge stating that it was not important to the case to establish the motive for the murder.
 In his confession to the police in the form of a caution statement, Sirul Azhar Umar told the interrogating officer that he was offered RM50,000 to RM100,000 to kill Altantuya.

So the next logical question the interrogating officer should ask Sirul is "who offered you this money" but this crucial question was not asked.

So besides the prosecutor, the defence and the judge, it appeared that the police also play a role in the cover-up in protecting the real murderer. In fact, Sirul's confession was ignored by the prosecutor, the defence and the judge.
This whole sham episode is one of the blight in the Malaysian justice system with lies, cover-ups, dishonesty and political interference, that it is no surprise that the reasons for Altantuya’s murder were never established.

the Attorney-General's Chambers could file its petition of appeal and state reasons why the Court of Appeal was wrong when it acquitted the two policemen based on the written grounds of the judgment. There was no need to wait for the entire appeal records to file the petition of appeal
Is the Police Force going to take Razak Baginda's remark lying down? Do they not feel insulted by Razak Baginda insinuation that police go about killing people as and when they feel like it, like Azilah and Sirul must have done?practically remote-controlled by high command with ‘directives’ being issued to murder her weren’t the two involved only because Abdul Razak had sought help from Deputy Superintendent Musa Safri, Prime Minister Najib Razak’s former aide-de-camp, and this help was needed because he had an affair with Altantuya and she was blackmailing him so he needed to get her off his back?

So, who is the focus of this murder? Who was the source of the problem that led to the murder? And yet Abdul Razak can say, “Shit happens”? It was his shit that happened in the first place, and now he seems to be putting the sole blame on the hapless commandos and implying that they are “rogue cops”. Is that funny?

“If you just treat this as a murder and do not politicise it, then it is just a straightforward murder case,” Abdul Razak also says. A straightforward murder? Did he say a straightforward murder? Would a straightforward murder need the use of C4? Is it normal for cops to kill people and then blow up their bodies with C4? Besides, where did Azilah and Sirul get their C4 from?
 fear of Razak Baginda is clear enough is not the only common interest.the prosecution’s delicate balancing act between the Police and  the judicial system or court system will in fact continue.
, Karpal had protested against yet another anomaly in the case when in 2013 he pointed out that the prosecution was dragging its feet on the appeal against the acquittal of two former police commandos for the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu. He said the Attorney-General's Chambers could file its petition of appeal and state reasons why the Court of Appeal was wrong when it acquitted the two policemen based on the written grounds of the judgment. There was no need to wait for the entire appeal records to file the petition of appeal


 Chief Inspector Sirul and corporal Azilah killed Altantuya at their own wanton will, without being instructed by a third party?

Razak Baginda says the case got politicised, but even without even politicising anything, we are already puzzled by several unanswered questions – apart from the one surrounding the motive.

Questions like why records of Altantuya’s going in and out of Malaysia were expunged; like why Musa introduced commandos such as Azilah and Sirul to Abdul Razak when the latter asked for protection from Altantuya’s harassment; like why Musa was not called to give evidence during the trial; like why Najib Razak SMSed lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah this unseemly message: “Pls do not say anything to the press today.I will explain later. RB (Abdul Razak) will have to face a tentative charge but all is not lost.”

So what is Abdul Razak talking about now? Oh, and here’s the laughable bit in his interview. He goes on to say, “Look at MH370, what, there was a conspiracy? Come up with the evidence. Nobody came up with the evidence. Things just happen. Bermuda Triangle. Certain things are just unexplainable. So why not this? That they (Sirul and Azilah ) just went on their own. Why not?”

was directed at Sirul (pic, right) and Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, both former special action unit personnel, who were found guilty of killing Altantuya. The Federal Court earlier this month ruled that circumstantial evidence sufficed for it to send the two to the gallows.

Razak's remark did not go down well with Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, who said Razak had maligned the police force by suggesting that custodial deaths were entirely the fault of the police.

Lim said nobody was surprised by Sirul's refusal to come home, as he was "clearly nursing a great sense of grievance and injustice" for committing a deed, which he "must have believed at the time he was performing the highest act of loyalty in the interest of the state".

"Now he is condemned as a 'rogue policeman' and has to face the gallows without any protection from his patrons for his act of loyalty."

Lim said Malaysians, including the police, were outraged by Razak's comment but had expected Khalid to be more forceful in his response to Razak's remark.

"Malaysians had not expected the IGP to be so supine as to virtually accept Razak’s cop-out account that it is impossible to know the motive for the murder of Altantuya.

"It is a gross dereliction of duty on the part of the IGP that he is not interested in finding out why two members of the elite police force murdered in cold blood a defenceless Mongolian woman, using C4 explosives, when both did not know her and had no logical motive or reasonable cause for committing the murder," he said.

Lim said the “court of opinion” in Malaysia, Mongolia and elsewhere in the word had expected more and it was clear that justice had not been served to Altantuya (pic, left) and her family.

He said there was also injustice to Sirul, Azilah and their families when the motive of the murder was not probed and revealed.

He said the least a responsible and conscientious IGP should do after the completion of the murder trial would be to launch a thorough inquiry to ascertain why two elite policemen killed Altantuya.

"In his confession to the police in the form of a caution statement, Sirul told the interrogating officer that he was offered RM50,000 to RM100,000 to kill Altantuya.

"Is Khalid prepared to have a full inquiry as to how members of the elite police force could be bought to break the law as to commit a cold-blooded murder just for money, and who offered Sirul the money?

"Is Khalid prepared to defend his police personnel to ascertain whether Sirul and Azilah had gone on a frolic of their own to kill Altantuya with C4 explosives, or whether they were told to do so by very powerful individuals?"

Lim also asked Khalid if he agreed with Razak that Altantuya's death had been a “straightforward murder” case.

"Why then was Deputy Superintendent Musa Safri, the prime minister’s former aide-de-camp involved? Why were records of Altantuya’s going in and out of Malaysia expunged?

"Was Altantuya in any way involved with the multi-billion ringgit Scorpene submarine scandal?" he asked, referring to previous allegations that the murdered woman was Razak's interpreter in the RM4.2 billion submarine acquisition deal.

Lim also criticised Razak for saying, in a comment on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, that some things just happen and could not be explained, such as the disappearance of the passenger jet and why Sirul and Azila had killed Altantuya.

"Razak was being insensitive and despicable when he dragged in the MH370 disaster, with the families and relatives of the 239 passengers and crew still grieving over the yet-to-be-found airline after nearly 11 months, comparing it to the Altantuya murder case," he said. –
