Altantuya's murder case is far from 'closed'

The two cops, Azilah and Sirul were sentenced to death by the Shah Alam High Court for the cold blooded murder of Mongolian beauty Altantunya Shaarriibuu. The prosecutor believe that no other people involved in Altantuya's murder case. So, what's next will probably be the two cops to file an appeal to the court of appeal and federal court. That will be another lengthy hearing process. Hence, the case is far from "closed".

After the court conveyed their verdict, I as the ordinary folks still feeling something is missing (may be I watched too much TV series). I believe others too, have a nagging feeling on what was the two cops motive to commit this crime. The court did not address the motive in the murder, which had not been touched at all throughout the trial.

As per the rumour that has been in the air all this while, the two may have acted on instructions, as they would not resort to such action if they had not been instructed or because of something else. So who is the person behind this? Needless to say, this person must have the authority to allow the C4 explosive to be removed from the vault and instruct the immigration to delete Altantuya's entry records.

If there is in fact an upper hand involvement in this case, I'm skeptical that justice will be brought to the 2 cops (they are just the killing machine). This key person will do everything to save the the man who worked for him. Therefore, even if the death sentence remains after the appeal, the cops can still escape the gallows. For a simple reason, if this key person has the power to instruct the change in immigration records, what is so difficult to give these two cops new identities after the 'execution'. After all, hardly anybody recognised their faces (except for those in the court) as their faces are well covered all the time. This is how things can happen.

Najib not involved in the Altantuya murder case

At today’s press conference, Abdul Razak Baginda tells a lot, a lot of “facts” that we have already known or expected. The more he says, the more suspicious I'm towards who is involved in Altantuya's murder case.

Now, who is involved if everybody is not? If Abdul Razak was just out there to tell us these, I think he is wasting everybody’s time. He could have just issued a short press statement and express his opinion on who is not involved. He can then fly off to UK to enjoy life.

It is so convenient for Abdul Razak to blame the bloggers and opinion makers in creating a negative impression on the case. Aren't we entitled to our opinion as citizen? Isn’t he himself in the press conference also give his opinion about Najib's non involvement in the murder case?

Abdul Razak seems to forget about the fact that he was trying to give positive opinion on the case. As per what he said, Abdul Razak is trying to create an impression that the two cops were acted on their own. While I'm not insinuating that Najib is involved in the murder case, I would like to know on what basis Abdul Razak knows that Najib is not involved.

The best thing that Abdul Razak should do is to tell us who is involved and solve the puzzle once and for all. If he can, share with us how he feel about his ex-lover being murdered in such a brutal manner and the master mind of the crime have not been brought to justice.

Is Abdul Razak consider lucky because the victim is a Mongolian? I don't think it will be the same story if Altantuya was holding a French or US passport.

Over To You, Najib!

I'm shocked with what I read in Malaysia Today on "Abuse of power by the deputy Prime Minister". However, I have my reservations towards the allegation of SMS conversations. I simply can’t imagine a person like DPM would do all these SMSing (I could be wrong). I’d assume that Najib would be more alert than anyone in this kind of situation (whether he is involved or not). Furthermore, as Defence Minister before, he jolly well know how secured the telecommunication system (Again, I could have overestimated him). Whatever the case is, this new allegations will definitely have some bearing on Najib.

On the other hand, let’s look at the Altantuya’s murder trial which the court will decide on 31 Oct. Base on my layman understanding of the legal system, these are the likely outcomes.

1. Razak Baginda and the 2 police officers are convicted and send to the gallows.
2. Razak Baginda is acquitted and the 2 policemen receive death sentence.
3. All the 3 are freed.

I personally do not think that the outcome in 1 & 3 will ever happened. This is because in outcome 1, Najib would be seen as he can’t help his own man (so what for I work so hard for you?). Outcome 3 is a luxury and will be outrageous to all Malaysians. Outcome 2 is the most ideal to Najib although it involves some scarification.

I think March 2009 is a bit too long for Najib. From now to March 2009, there could be more explosive “evidence” coming out against him. The ball is at his court now. If he is not taking more aggressive action now, his road to the UMNO president seat will be a rocky one, or he may not even make it there. If he were to take action, the priority will be none other than killing off (em! is it too sensitive to use the word “kill”?) Anwar politically and use whatever mean to silent off the other voices, at least for any damn thing that associated with Altantuya.
