Altantuya case: DPM Najib seen with Altantuya
June 29, 2007| Najib was seen having a meal together with Altantuya in a photograph according to Mongolian witness Amy ( Burmaa Oyunchimeg). What did he say during the Ijok by-election? Didn’t he say that he has never met her? We are very proud of Karpal Singh because for his timely intervention. If not for him, we will be still in the dark about the rendezvous btween Najib and Altantuya. At the same time , we were very upset with Manoj and Tun Majid who deliberately avoided the probing. Both must be punished for this act.Najib must now explain what sort of relationship he has with Altantuya(a.k.s Amina). Both Shariibuu family and Malaysians have a right to know.

A Mongolian witness caused a stir in court today when she revealed that murdered Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu had been photographed having a meal with a Malaysian government official named Najib Razak. Burmaa Oyunchimeg (left), also known as Amy, told the Shah Alam High Court that Altantuya had shown her the photo in Hong Kong when she returned from a trip to France.It is believed that the government official in the photograph is Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who has close ties with political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda.The latter has been charged with abetting the murder of Altantuya, 28.Najib has previously denied that he had personally met the murdered woman and that he heard of her only from newspaper reports after Altantuya was murdered.This morning, Burmaa, 26, had mentioned the photograph when re-examined by DPP Manoj Kurup.Manoj was asking whether she had personal knowledge of Altantuya’s disappearance.Burmaa began her answer conveyed by her translator Enkhjargal Tsetsgee that she knew Altantuya had come to see Razak who happens to be the only person she knows in Malaysia.
“I know why she wanted to see Razak Baginda, I have seen pictures of Altantuya with Razak and a government official,” she said. However, Manoj quizzed her as to how she knew Altantuya disappeared and did not follow up with Burmaa’s sudden revelation.
‘They had the same name’ The veteran lawyer then proceeded to ask Burmaa on what was depicted in the photograph. “She (Altantuya) was having a meal at a round table with Razak (Baginda), a Malaysian government official and other people,” she replied. Karpal then asked her on the identity of the government official, and she replied: “I remember the name Najib Razak, they had the same name, ‘Razak’. I thought they were brothers. I asked her (Altantuya) if they were brothers.” This sparked off another exchange between the prosecution and Karpal before the judge dismissed Burmaa and directed the courtroom to stand down for 15 minutes. The next witness was lance corporal Rohaniza Roslan, 29, who had testified that the red Proton Wira aeroback - which was seen by Razak’s private investigator P Balasubramaniam as the car that took Altantuya away on Oct 19 last year - belonged to her.
She and Azilah were a couple at that time. “Azilah had an assignment to escort the PM and DPM to Hong Kong but it was cancelled. So I was there to help him unpack his belongings,” she said. Rohaniza elaborated that Azilah received a call and later followed him to Bukit Damansara. She said she saw an Indian man talking to a “Chinese woman”. She told the court that she then moved to the back seat and the Chinese woman sat next to her. ‘Don’t create trouble’ “He got out of my car, went into a green (Suzuki) Vitara and Azilah tailed him to a highway towards the direction of Bukit Aman. “It was then the Chinese woman asked us who we were and Azilah told her “police”,” the Petaling Jaya-based officer told Noorin.
Rohaniza who was tearing when she was asked to point Azilah out as she revealed that she has known Azilah since 1998 when she joined the police force. Two police officers - Azilah, 30, and corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 35 - are charged with the murder of Altantuya. Razak, 47, is charged with abetting them. Prosecutors allege that Abdul Razak and Altantuya met in 2004 and began a whirlwind affair, during which he gave her money. After they broke up a year later, he allegedly continued to give her money whenever she demanded. But the payments stopped last year, prompting her to become dissatisfied and travel to Malaysia in October, the prosecution said. Altantuya was killed by ‘probable blast-related’ injuries in a clearing in Shah Alam after she was driven away from outside Abdul Razak’s house in mid-October. All three accused faced the death penalty. |

About 20 minutes later, lawyer Karpal Singh, who is holding a watching brief for the deceased’s family, sought permission from the court to pose a question on the photograph.
Examined by DPP Noorin Badaruddin, Rohaniza said she was off duty that night and was keeping Azilah company at the police headquarters in Bukit Aman.
She said Azilah told the Chinese woman not to create trouble at Razak’s house because he has a family at home and that she should find Razak at his office instead.
家属旁听律师卡巴星(Karpal Singh)透过法院盘问布尔玛:“你是否知道这名政府高官?”
在另一厢,替国阵候选人竞选拉票的纳吉(左图)则回应,指自己根本就不认识阿尔旦杜雅,也从来没有见过阿尔旦杜雅,而他也和其他人民一样,在发生炸尸案后,才第一次在报章上看到阿尔旦杜雅的照片。
The undated letter, written before she disappeared, was addressed to the ‘Malaysian government or police or Embassy of Mongolia or newspapers’.
Burmaa (right), who studied English in Hong Kong, told the court that Altantuya would visit her and they had a very close relationship.
他们跟踪了四、五天,就连我住的酒店的员工都知道。当时我真的很害怕,我现在碰到一些问题了。我还在蒙古时,阿都拉萨答应要帮我,这就是为什么我来向他求助。
布尔玛说,去年初,她的手机遗失了,但手机遗失前,她曾接到阿都拉萨(右图)的电话;阿都拉萨告诉她,他联络不上在蒙古的阿尔丹杜雅,请她转告阿尔丹杜雅,他已透过
The four also chanted ‘Altantunya’ and ‘Mongolia’.The deceased’s father Shaariibuu Setev (right) held a poster which read ‘Malaysia! Baginda’s team is proud of my daughter’s murder’.
All three accused face the death penalty if convicted.
Ang Chong Beng (photo), 56, who began testifying yesterday said he was hired by Altantuya, 28, last September to find out whether Razak was still in the country.
He said he did not know whether Razak and Altantuya were Muslim or whether Razak was married.
She said the threatening message was related to them by Abdul Razak’s private investigator P Balasubramaniam and his assistant K Suras Kumar.“Suras Kumar and Balasubramaniam threatened to kill us, to throw us out of the window. Every night, around 3am to 5am, Suras came to the hotel (Malaya) and forcefully knocked on the door to enter our room,” she said during the examination-in-chief by Deputy Public Prosecutor Manoj Kurup.She also said that she knew Altantuya had been under a lot of pressure “thinking that she is under threat that she would be killed.”
Accused Abdul Razak appeared cheerful and sported a new cropped hair-do. He was seen using an electric shaver before the hearing started at 9:30am when judge Mohd Zaki Md Yasin entered.
“I remember the watch because her (friend) Burmaa (Oyunchimeg) and Altantuya bought it in Hong Kong while the earrings were bought from a shop in Mongolia.
Shaariibuu, the second prosecution witness, said Mazlina Makhzan (photo) had kicked him this morning.He also claimed that she had also punched him in the stomach as she passed by him during a break this morning.Shaariibuu added that Mazlina had been harassing him since the beginning of the murder trial of his daughter Altantuya.After hearing his complaints, Shah Alam High Court judge Mohd Zaki Md Yasin ordered that the families of Abdul Razak Baginda and Shaariibuu Setev be kept apart.
He also took a swipe at various media reports that had labelled Altantuya as ‘a Mongolian woman”.
沙里布(右图)也表示,有庭警目睹他遭到玛兹琳达的攻击。
沙里布看了相片后悲从中来,并开始流泪。法庭助理於是递给沙里布一盒纸巾,后者频频脱下眼镜,以纸巾拭泪。在旁边的翻译员也拍拍他的肩膀,加以安慰。当时,沙里布表示,“我们蒙古人不会直接讲出死者的名字,但是如果你(主控官)要求的话,我可以告诉你。我们只称死者作‘死者’”。
她说,由于自己不会讲英语或马来语,因此在前往报案前,曾致电人在香港的阿旦杜亚胞妹布玛(Burmaa Oyunchimeg,又称艾美Amy,右图),要她以英语告诉洪忠明究竟发生了什么事,过后再由洪忠明与负责报案的警察进行沟通。
报案书也指一名“印度人”(巴拉,左图)致电阿旦杜亚,指其丈夫阿都拉萨要求这名“印度人”转告她,前往阿都拉萨位于白沙罗的住家。



法庭今日传召沙里布(左图)为控方第二证人。他在出庭供证时表示,其女儿阿尔丹杜雅告诉在最后一次来马来西亚之前曾经告诉他,她在这里认识了一个人,他的名字叫巴金德(I met a guy, and his name is Baginda.)。
马诺再问沙里布,两人会面时,他是否询问过阿尔丹杜雅(左图)来马来西亚的原因。
