After the murder of Altantuya, a charitable soul contacted Shaaribuu Setev, the father of the young woman : Datuk Syed, honorary consul of Mongolia in Malaysia. “I am ready to do everything to help you”, said the diplomat to Shaaribuu Setev. His dedication even pushed the amicable Datuk Syed to make revelations to the father. “The Malaysian governement is ready to spend one billion of tughrik (mongolian currency, equivalent to 500,000 euros) to cover up the case”

THE PROSECUTION HAD 14 DAYS TO FILE AN APPEAL AFTER SHAH ALAM HIGH COURT JUDGE MOHD ZAKI MD YASIN DELIVERED HIS RULING ON OCTOBER 31.

THEY ARE JOINTLY ACCUSED OF MURDERING ALTANTUYA, 28, AT A LOCATION BETWEEN LOT 12843 AND LOT 16735 IN MUKIM BUKIT RAJA, SELANGOR BETWEEN 10AM ON OCT 19, 2006 AND 1AM THE FOLLOWING DAY.
THEY HAVE ELECTED TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH WHEN THE HEARING RESUMES ON NOV 10. THEIR OTHER OPTIONS WERE EITHER TO GIVE A STATEMENT FROM THE DOCK OR TO REMAIN SILENT. |
The latest story progresses from ludicrous to absurd to appalling. The intelligence report – which the media in with gusto – is ribtickling for the very claim that has some secrets to keep on its disputes. “reports soon pulled the curtains on such theatre of the absurd.
Sirul and former chief inspector Azilah Hadri were found guilty and sentenced to death by the Shah Alam High Court in 2009 for killing Altantuya, then 28, at Mukim Bukit Raja in Shah Alam between 10 pm on Oct 19, 2006 and 1am on Oct 20, 2006.
Former political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, who was charged with abetting them, was acquitted by the high court on Oct 31, 2008 after the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against him.
Their appeal against their conviction and death sentence is scheduled to be heard by the Court of Appeal on June 10.
Sirul’s lawyer Kamarul Hisham Kamarudin said a copy of the notice of motion would be served to the prosecution.
This is appalling. newspapers are supposed to report truth. Why should a paper protect the interests of Najib-Rosmah such an attempt would compromise truth –A little positive parochialism is something celebrated by newspapers three mainstream newspapers –Utusan ,The star and NST – were on the ‘beneficiary list’But that should never be at the risk of compromising facts to protect some Nation’s interests.The latest story progresses from ludicrous to absurd to appalling. The intelligence report – which the media in with gusto – is ribtickling for the very claim that has some secrets to keep on its disputes. Najib and Rosmah might have had with his ill-advisors in war room in? Well, those would have the rolling on the floor laughing.why should a paper do “only those reports”.
He is seeking for the Court of Appeal to declare the trial a mistrial, his conviction be set aside and he be set free.
Sirul, 39, claimed the adverse publicity he received had caused a probability that the high court judge was biased, rendering his conviction unsafe.
Sirul claimed he was exposed to adverse publicity through three statutory declarations, two made by private investigator the late P. Balasubramaniam and one by Raja Petra Kamarudin.
He said Balasubramaniam’s first statutory declaration, made after the prosecution closed its case on June 23, 2008, contained matters prejudicial to him as those matters were not disclosed in his (Balasubramaniam’s) testimony at the trial.
He said Balasubramaniam had, on July 4, 2008, made another statutory declaration stating that he was withdrawing his first statutory declaration.
Sirul said the declarations were extensively uploaded in various websites and had been the subject of various speculation, debate and extensive commentaries from the general public, legal practitioners and leaders which were interpreted as questioning the veracity and authenticity of the declarations.
He said the principal questions hovering in the minds of readers having access to the materials would be, “What prompted the appellants to kill the victim” and “Who gave instructions to have the killing carried out by the appellants”.
Sirul said Raja Petra had, on June 21, 2008, uploaded the latter’s statutory declaration on an Internet website stating that three other people were also present when the victim was killed, which was interpreted to mean that he (Sirul) was the killer.
He claimed Raja Petra had also uploaded a copy of a caution statement believed to be his (Sirul’s) stating that he (Sirul) had admitted to killing the Mongolian woman.
Enter the phase of absurdity. It emerges, through the systematic leaking of the magnum opus of strategic intelligence, that reporters of three mainstream newspapers –utusan the star nst – were on the ‘beneficiary list’ of the spy who “took care of their travel and children’s school admission.” Some of the other papers had a jamboree with this crucial information. As I know, these reporters – though I can’t vouch for anyone’s impeccable integrity – are like any other in Chennai, who respect facts. The attempt to drag journalists of such reputed newspapers into the spy story smacks of intelligent imagination, nothing more.
Former police Special Action Unit personnel Sirul Azhar Umar, who was convicted for Altantuya Shaariibuu’s murder, filed an application to the Court of Appeal here today seeking for his acquittal, claiming there was a mistrial by the Shah Alam High Court.
A notice of motion filed by legal firm The Chambers of Kamarul Hisham and Hasnal Rezua at the Court of Appeal registry here was in an attempt to include additional grounds of appeal.
In the application, former Corporal Sirul claimed that he was exposed to extensive “adverse publicity” during the trial which was misleading and prejudicial to him, thus denying him a fair trial.
