'Altantuya persuaded not to lodge report'
R. Surenthira Kumar

SHAH ALAM (June 26, 2007): Altantuya Shaariibuu was persuaded not to lodge a police report against political analyst Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda because he was of "high standing", the court heard today.

Private investigator Ang Chong Beng said P. Balasubramaniam, the private investigator hired by Abdul Razak, asked him to talk Altantuya out of her intention to lodge a report against Abdul Razak after she was picked up by the police.

DPP Manoj Kurup: What did Bala tell you?
Ang: Bala said Abdul Razak was a ‘top man’ (gesturing with his hand over his head) and did not want his name to appear in the media or let anything like that from happening.

Manoj: What else did Bala tell you?
Ang: He told me to call Amina (Ang had explained earlier he knew Altantuya by the name of Amina) out of the police station and settle the matter.

Judge Mohd Zaki Md Yasin: Settle what?
Ang: He told me to tell Amina not to make a report against Abdul Razak.

Ang, 56, the fifth prosecution witness, who said he worked with the Cisco security company in Singapore before becoming a private investigator in 1984, was hired by Altantuya.

Asked by Manoj what his response was, Ang said: "I said it is good that way, so that everything can be settled."

Manoj: So, you agreed the matter be settled?
Ang: Yes.

Manoj: Did you discuss about settling the matter with Amina?
Ang: Yes.

Mohd Zaki: After that?
Manoj: Yes, after that, what was Amina’s reaction?
Ang: I told Amina to come out of the police station and meet Bala and his assistant, K. Suras Kumar, to settle the matter.

Manoj: What happened when she met Bala and Suras after coming
out of the station?
Ang: She said she did not lodge a report against Abdul Razak, but demanded US$500,000 from him.

Manoj: Amina said this to whom?
Ang: She said this to Bala.

Manoj: When Amina said this to Bala, were you beside her?
Ang: Yes.

Manoj: So you heard the demand?
Ang: Yes.

Manoj: Did Bala say anything?
Ang: He said he will bring up the matter to Abdul Razak’s attention.

Ang had said earlier he was employed by Altantuya last September to find out if her ‘husband’, whom Ang identified as Abdul Razak, was in town or overseas.

He said Amina deposited US$600 into his bank account as initial payment. She also pleaded him to help her as she was poor and did not have much money to pay for his services.

Ang said he succeeded in locating Abdul Razak’s address as he had many contacts, including one from the Road Transport Department.

He told Manoj he had taken Altantuya and two other Mongolian women – Namiraa Gerelmaa and Uuriintuya Gal Ochir – to Abdul Razak’s office in Bangunan Lembaga Getah Asli Malaysia on several occasions and once to his house.

Hearing continues tomorrow.

Eric Chia ACQUITTED!

KUALA LUMPUR (June 26, 2007): The sessions court here today acquitted and discharged Tan Sri Eric Chia Eng Hock, the former managing director of Perwaja Steel Sdn Bhd, without calling for his defence on charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM76.4 million.

Judge Akhtar Tahir said the prosecution had failed to adduce sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case against Chia, reports Bernama today.

The prosecution, led by Senior Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Yusof Zainal Abiden, closed its case on May 4 after calling 29 witnesses. On Feb 10, 2004, Chia, 74, pleaded not guilty to the original charge of CBT of the same amount by dishonestly authorising the payment of the amount to the account of Frilsham Enterprise Incorporated with American Express Bank Ltd in Hongkong for technical assistance provided for the Perwaja plant in Gurun, Kedah, when no such payment was due.

Alternatively, six months later, he was charged with dishonestly disposing of the funds by entering into an agreement with NKK Corporationof Japan and authorising the payment of the amount without the approval of the board of directors or tender committee of Perwaja Rolling Mill and Development Sdn Bhd.

He was charged with having committed both offences in his capacity as managing director of Perwaja Rolling Mill and Development Sdn Bhd in its office in Menara UBN on Jalan P. Ramlee here between Nov 4, 1993, and Feb 22, 1994.

On both counts, he was charged under Section 409 of the Penal Code which carries a jail term of between two and 20 years and whipping, and the liability of a fine upon conviction.

Chia, who was represented by lead counsel Datuk Muhammad ShafeeAbdullah, was allowed to sit behind the defence team due to his brittle diabetic condition.

Both DPP Yusof and Muhammad Shafee summed up their arguments verbally on May 31 and June 1, respectively.

Yusof closed the prosecution's case in 34 pages, covering all evidence obtained from witnessess including from Hongkong, Japan, Zurich and Geneva, while Muhammed Shafee's summing-up was contained in a 300-page document.

DAY 7

SHAH ALAM (June 26, 2007): Uuriintuya Gal-Ochir, a friend of murdered Mongolian Russian interprter Altantuya Shaariibuu, denied in the High Court here today that she, Altantuya and Altantuya's cousin, Namiraa Gerelmaa, came to Malaysia to extort money from political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda.

Uuriintuya, 30, also rejected a suggestion from Kamarul Hisham Kamaruddin, the counsel for Cpl Sirul Azhar Umar, the second accused in the Altantuya murder trial, that private investigator Ang Chong Beng was hired by Altantuya to help achieve their plan.

The fourth prosecution witness, who continued her testimony today, also refuted another suggestion from Kamarul Hisham she knew private investigator P. Balasubramaniam and his assistant K. Suras Kumar were engaged by Abdul Razak to protect him from them.

Kamarul Hisham made the three suggestions when cross-examining Uuriintuya on why she did not ask Altantuya, 28, anything about Abdul Razak and the harassment from Balasubramaniam and Suras Kumar during their stay in Malaysia in last October.

Abdul Razak, 46, is charged with abetting Chief Insp Azilah Hadri, 31, and Sirul Azhar, 35, both from the police special action squad, of murdering Altantuya between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20 between Lots 12843 and 16735 in Mukim Bukit Raja, Shah Alam.

The political analyst is accused of committing the offence between 9.54am on Oct 18 and 9.45pm on Oct 19 in his Bangunan Lembaga Getah Asli office in Ampang.

Earlier, Uuriintuya was asked to identify Altantuya's pair of earrings and a white diamond-studded gold ring.

Uuriintuya said she saw Altantuya wearing the jewellery and a watch before she went missing after going to Abdul Razak's house on the night of Oct 19.

Abdul Razak sent two men to kill Altantuya, witness testifies

Abdul Razak sent two men to kill Altantuya, witness testifies
DAY 6

SHAH ALAM (June 25, 2007): The High Court here today heard that political analyst Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda, who is charged with abetting the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu, sent two men to throw the Mongolian woman and two others out of a hotel window.

Namiraa Gerelmaa, 23, from Ulan Bator, Mongolia, said she, Altantuya and their friend Uuriintuya Gal Ochir were visited a number of times at their hotel room by K. Suras Kumar, the assistant of a private investigator hired by the accused, to threaten to kill them.

"None of Suras' visits were friendly. Everytime (he came), he said ÔRazak Baginda send me to kill you'. Of course it was not pleasant," said Namiraa during re-examination by Deputy Public Prosecutor Manoj Kurup. Namiraa: Suras came to our room about two to three times in October 2006, each visit for half an hour to five hours. He once slept on our bed from 5am to 10am. We were standing around, scared and didn't sleep. Manoj: Why did he come to your room?

Namiraa: Everytime he visited, he pressured us, threatened to kill and throw us out of the window.

Namiraa said besides Suras Kumar, private investigator P. Balasubramaniam also once came to the hotel lobby and threatened to throw them out of the hotel room window.

Judge Datuk Mohd Zaki Md Yasin: Did you yourself hear that Bala wanted to throw you out of the window? Namiraa: I was told by Altantuya. She was crying and telling us.

Namiraa, who is Altantuya's cousin, said Altantuya and Uuriintuya lodged a police report the next day about the threat by Balasubramaniam and Suras Kumar.

Namiraa: The three of us were under pressure. Bala and Suras always threatened to throw us out of the window. Every time Suras came to our hotel room between 3am and 4am, knocking our door. Bala and Suras always said Razak Baginda was going to kill us. So, in the morning, Uuriintuya and Altantuya went to the police station to lodge a report. I knew she was under a lot of pressure.

Namiraa denied that Suras Kumar had a close relationship with one of them, as earlier suggested by Razak's counsel Wong Kian Kheong.

Namiraa, when questioned by Wong during cross-examination, had said that the threat from Balasubramaniam and Suras Kumar began four days after their arrival in Malaysia last Oct 8.

Namiraa: Suras was knocking our room door three or four days, so we called the hotel manager.

KK Wong: When Suras and Bala threatened to throw you out of the window, did you lodge a police report against them?

Namiraa: No.

KK Wong: How many days approximately that the late Altantuya went missing after she lodged the police report?

Namiraa: She made the report against Suras and Bala in the afternoon of Oct 19.

KK Wong: Despite all these threats and after the late Altantuya lodged a report, the three of you still went to the third accused's house by taxi in the evening of Oct 19?

Namiraa: Yes.

KK Wong: After all of you went back to the hotel, you said Altantuya wanted to go alone to the third accused's house. Did you ask why she persisted to go after many failed attempts to meet him?

Namiraa: Uuriintuya asked.

KK Wong: In view of the threats and the report lodged, were you worried for Altantuya's safety when she went alone to the third accused's house?

Namiraa: Yes, I was so worried.

KK Wong: Despite your worry, you still allowed Altantuya to go and see the third accused alone?

Namiraa: Yes.

KK Wong: I put it to you that the third accused never threatened the three of you.

Namiraa: Of course he did, he sent someone.

Namiraa also disagreed with counsel's suggestion that Abdul Razak did not send the two men to threaten the three of them.

She also claimed she had never asked from Abdul Razak for money or air ticket to return to Mongolia, adding she did not know whetherAltantuya had asked for money from the accused. She was further queried by Wong on her intention of coming to Malaysia on Oct 8.

KK Wong: You mentioned last Friday that you and Uuriintuya came toMalaysia to study.

Namiraa: Not to study but to find out about the English course available in Malaysia.

KK Wong: Do you agree that you can find out about the course inMongolia itself? In the Internet?

Namiraa: I disagree.

KK Wong: Have you been to any university or college offering English course?

Namiraa: No, I only called.

KK Wong: Which university or college?

Namiraa: HELP Centre.

Questioned further, Namiraa disagreed with counsel's suggestion that she could contact the institute direct from Mongolia without coming to Malaysia, saying that she was not proficient in English (to talk to HELP).

She also denied lying about the purpose of her visit, and during re-examination, stated that it was to see the country and to find about the language course that she could pursue, and not to threaten anyone.

Questioned by counsel Hazman Abdullah, who is representing Chief Insp Azilah Hadri, Namiraa said she followed the news on Altantuya's death on TV on Nov 27 after her return to Mongolia.

Balasubramaniam threatened to throw me, two others out of window: Namiraa

SHAH ALAM (June 25, 2007): Namiraa Gerelmaa, the third witness in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial, told the High Court here today that she saw Altantuya crying when Abdul Razak Baginda's private investigator P.Balasubramaniam threatned to throw her and two others out of the hotel room window.

She said Balasubramaniam told Altantuya that he wanted to throw her, friend Gal Ochir Uuriintuya and her out of the window.

During re-examination by Deputy Public Prosecutor Manoj Kurup, she said Altantuya told her and Uuriintuya of the threat by Subramaniam.

Namiraa, 23, said Balasubramaniam came to the lobby of Hotel Malaya where they stayed. She also testified that Balasubramaniam's assistant K. Suras Kumar came to their hotel room two or three times last October, each time fo rhalf an hour to five hours.

She said Suras Kumar once came at 5am and slept in their room until 10am, reports Bernama today.

"We were so frightened. We were standing around and didn't sleep. He (Suras Kumar) slept on one of our beds," she said.

Namiraa denied Suras Kumar was close to them, instead, she said, each time he visited them, he pressured and threatened to throw them out ofthe window.

Manoj Kurup: So it would be correct to say that none of Suras Kumar's visits were friendly?

Namiraa: Everytime he (Suras Kumar) came, he said Razak Baginda sent me to kill you. Of course it was not pleasant.

To a question whether she (Namiraa) stopped Altantuya from going to Abdul Razak's house alone, Namiraa replied: "Yes I did ... I told her not togo there alone, that we should go together."

Namiraa denied coming to Malaysia to blackmail anybody nor was she demanding any air ticket from Abdul Razak to return to Mongolia.

She said she came to Malaysia because she wanted to see Malaysia and also to find out the possibility of studying English here.

When asked whether she knew Altantuya had demanded money from Abdul Razak, she answered "No".

Namiraa: Abdul Razak Baginda threatened to kill us

Day 6
SHAH ALAM (June 25, 2007): Namiraa Gerelmaa, the third witness in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial, told the High Court here today that she, her cousin (Altantuya) and their friend Gal Ochir Uuriintuya lodged apolice report on Oct 19 because Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda threatened to kill them.

Namiraa, 23, who accompanied Altantuya to Malaysia to look for the political analyst, 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 and forcefully knocked on the door to enter our room," she said during theexamination-in-chief by Deputy Public Prosecutor Manoj Kurup, Bernama reported today.

Today was Namiraa’s second day to be called to the witness stand.

Namiraa, who spoke in Mongolian and translated into English by Mongolian interpreter Engkhjargal Tsetsgee, was the first called to the stand last Friday (June 22).

Chief Insp Azilah Hadri, 30, and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 35, from the police Special Action Squad are charged with murdering Altantuya, 28, in a location between lots 12843 and 16735, Mukim Bukit Raja, here between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20.

NST's Datuk K. According to a new on-line news portal
www.klpos.com, there is a Datuk K in the New Straits Times
who may know Altantuya
Shaariibuu quite intimately as this Datuk K was recently photographed
celebrating her birthday with several other dignitaries, including a
Datuk Seri N and a Datin Seri R.I'll believe it when
