Altantuya's dad says he saw photo of her with Najib...

For the first time since the 2007 trial into the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu, her father has revealed that he has "definitely seen a photograph" of his daughter taken with Najib Abdul Razak, who is now prime minister.

At a meeting with human rights NGO Suaram yesterday, Shaariibuu said Altantuya had shown him a photograph of her taken with two men - who he later came to know as Najib and his close ally Abdul Razak Baginda.

Shaariibuu said through his interpreter that Altantuya had told him before she left for Malaysia in October 2006 that she would be meeting Razak for payment promised her for translating work done for "certain companies".

Razak had been charged with abetting in the murder of Altantuya, believed to be his jilted lover, but was acquitted without his defence being called. The two police personnel charged with the murder were found guilty and sentenced to death. Their appeal is pending.

"I was not the only one who saw it... So did Burmaa Oyunchimeg, who was a witness and told the court about the matter during the murder trial ... in 2007," Shaariibuu said.

"When she showed me the picture, Burmaa was there too and my daughter told us she wanted to go to Malaysia to get her money."

Shaariibuu described the photo of the three people, "which I saw with my own eyes", as one that was taken in a cafe or restaurant setting in Paris as French words could be seen in the background.

He later saw a similar picture being circulated on the Internet, but realised that the faces of those in it had been somewhat "doctored".

He was then told that it was a "fake" photograph and was posted in a blog by PKR vice-president Tian Chua, who had been incessantly criticised by the BN parliamentarians for his "art" but that the Batu MP has refused to apologise for it.

Chua was referring to Burmaa's testimony on the existence of the photograph, a matter that the prosecution did not pursue. The photograph was not produced in court.

Najib's press secretary Tengku Sarifuddin Tengku Ahmad had at that time conveyed the prime minister's response to the photo.

He reiterated that Najib had on several occasions, when asked by the media, said he had never met or known Altantuya and was not involved in the case involving Razak.

Altantuya was 'promised a commission'

Shaariibuu also told the meeting with Suaram that Altantuya could not recall the names of the companies involved in her translation work, but had told him that Razak promised her a commission of between "0.0003 percent and 3 percent " for each of her projects.

However, Shaariibuu said he was uncertain whether the commission was in US dollars or in Euro, but said it was "a huge" amount.

"Later, I heard that the payment was in US dollars. I have told this to lawyer Karpal Singh and we worked out the amount to be about RM100 million," he had told the Suaram activists, including its director Cynthia Gabriel.

Shaariibuu has filed an RM100 million civil suit against the government, Razak and the two police personnel for the sufferings he and his family continue to suffer, as a result of her untimely death.

Following Razak's acquittal, Suaram filed a case against French shipbuilder DCNS for allegedly paying kickbacks, involving millions of ringgit, to top Malaysian government officials for the purchase of the two Scorpene submarines.

The payment of commissions for business dealings is illegal in France and two investigating magistrates - Roger Le Loire and Serge Tournaire - have been appointed to investigate the matter, which will be heard by the Paris Tribunal de Grande, which handles alleged corruption cases.

It is learnt that the magistrate will be looking into contracts worth at least 36 million Euro (RM144 million) and 114 million Euro (RM457 million) involving two companies - Hong Kong-based Terarasi Ltd and Perimekar Bhd - which are allegedly linked to Razak.

In 2007, the Defence Ministry denied that commissions were paid to Perimekar, whose key shareholder then was Razak's wife, Mazlina Makhzan.

It is not certain whether Najib and Razak will testify in the French courts if summoned as witnesses. However, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has said that he is willing to testify.- malaysiakini

Altantuya came to Malaysia to meet Najib, claims her father

 Setev Shaariibuu ready to testify in France...

Setev Shaariibuu, father of slain Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu, has offered to testify at the French court which is probing the French arms manufacturer DCNS.

At a press conference at Petaling Jaya today, Shaariibuu said he was prepared to give evidence to show that his daughter’s murder was linked to Malaysia’s procurement of two submarines from DCNS.

“I know there is a connection between the French case and the murder,” said Shaariibuu, who addressed the media through an interpreter.

“I will try to connect the dots between the two cases. I will give detailed information when asked to testify”.

Shaariibuu also claimed that the purpose of his daughter’s fateful visit to Malaysia in October 2006 was to meet Najib Abdul Razak, then the deputy prime minister and defence minister.

He said he had personally enquired Altantuya on the purpose of her visit, where she responded by showing her a picture of three people and pointed at Najib.
Shaariibuu said the picture depicted his daughter, Najib and his former confidante Abdul Razak Baginda, whose company KS Ombak Laut Sdn Bhd was the key go-between for the Malaysian government and DCNS.

"She said she had something to discuss with Najib," he said.- malaysiakini

 

Altantuya tunjuk gambar Najib sebelum mati...

 

Bapa kepada Altantuya Shariibuu, gadis Monggolia yang mati dibunuh dengan kejam di Malaysia, Setev Shariibuu memberitahu, anaknya menunjukkan sekeping gambar sebelum pergi ke Kuala Lumpur menjelang pembunuhannya.

Di dalam gambar itu terdapat tiga orang iaitu Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Abdul Razak Baginda dan anak beliau, Altantuya. Semasa menunjukkan gambar itu, anaknya memberitahu, dia akan pergi mencari orang-orang ini.

Setev berkata demikian dalam sidang media yang diadakan  di pejabat Suaram hari ini. Suaram adalah NGO yang sedang berusaha untuk membongkar skandal pembelian kapal selam Scorpean di mahkamah Paris, Perancis.

Altantuya dipercayai terlibat dalam pembelian kapal ini sebagai penterjemah. Beliau dikatakan mati dibunuh dengan kejam di hutan dekat Puncak Alam, Selangor.

Dua pembunuhnya iaitu pegawai polis yang bertugas menjaga keselamatan Perdana Menteri telah dijatuhkan hukuman mati.

Mahkamah Perancis baru-baru ini bersetuju membincangkan perkara itu di mahkamah terbuka.

"Semasa kali terakhir sebelum anak saya dibunuh, dia telah tunjuk kepada saya satu gambar.

"Dalam gambar itu ada Najib, Razak Baginda dan anak saya," cerita Setev dalam sidang medianya hari ini.

Namun, gambar itu tidak ada lagi dalam simpanan beliau.

"Jika saya tahu apa-apa akan berlaku, sudah tentu saya akan simpan gambar itu," kata Setev dalam sidang medianya.

Ketika itu, kata Setev, anaknya memberitahu, dia mahu jumpa orang-orang yang terdapat dalam gambar itu. Setev Shaariibuu semalam bersua muka dengan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak di Parlimen, tetapi gagal berhubung dengannya.

Shaariibuu, yang berada di Malaysia bersama dua pegawai kerajaan Mongolia untuk lawatan tiga hari berkata, beliau melihat Najib ketika menunggu lif di lobi Parlimen.

"Pada satu ketika, pintu lif itu terbuka dan Najib bersama beberapa lagi dalamnya, tetapi beliau tidak keluar dan saya tidak dapat hendak bersalam pun," katanya kepada Malaysiakini melalui penterjemah.

Shaariibuu berkata, ini kali kedua beliau datang untuk menemui Najib selepas cubaan pertama pada 2007.

Shaariibuu hadir ke Parlimen untuk mengadakan sidang akhbar bersama anggota parlimen Pakatan Rakyat bagi menyatakan kekecewaannya terhadap saman sivilnya masih belum bermula walaupun dua anggota polis yang dituduh membunuh Altantuya sudah didapati bersalah dan dijatuhkan hukuman gantung.- harakahdaily

 

 

Bapa Altantuya kata kematian anaknya ada kaitan dengan kes Scorpene...

Dr Setev Shaariibuu telah menawarkan dirinya sebagai saksi berhubung kes siasatan pembelian kapal selam Scorpene yang disiasat pihak berkuasa Perancis dan mendakwa kematian anaknya mempunyai hubung kait dengan kes tersebut. 

Bapa kepada model Mongolia yang dibunuh Altantuya Shaariibuu itu berkata hari ini, testimoninya akan berupaya “menghubungkan kaitan” kematian anaknya dan kes Scorpene yang akan didengar di mahkamah di Perancis.

“Beliau (Shariibuu) tahu terdapatnya kaitan antara kes di Perancis itu dan kes pembunuhan anaknya, dan akan membantu menyelesaikan kes tersebut.

“Sekiranya beliau memberikan keterangan di mahkamah, beliau akan memberikan maklumat lanjut,” kata usahawan Mongolia Tsoggerel Och, yang merupakan jurubahasa Shariibuu.

Shaaribuu turut ditemani oleh Pengarah Suaran Cynthia Gabriel.

“Kami sedia maklum siasatan sedang dijalankan di Perancis bukan berkenaan pembunuhan, tapi ada kaitan terhadap rasuah Perdana Menteri sekarang (Datuk Seri) Najib (Razak) dan rakannya di Perancis,” kata Gabriel.

Menurutnya, Suaram akan mengemukakan saksi-saksi terlibat untuk dihantar ke mahkamah Perancis dan Shariibuu akan menjadi salah seorang daripadanya,- malaysian insider
