Najib will not issue statement on witness’ claim

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will not issue any statement on the claim by a witness linking the picture of the deputy prime minister in the ongoing murder trial of Mongolian beauty Altantuya Shaariibuu at the Shah Alam High Court as it could be sub judice to the case.

His press secretary Datuk Tengku Sarifuddin Tengku Ahmad, however, said Najib was maintaining his statements made several times before that he had never met or known Altantuya, 28, and was not involved in the case.

“I wish to make it clear that the deputy prime minister had on several occasions when interviewed by the media and during the Ijok by-election had said that he had never met and known Altantuya and was not involved in the case.

“As such, the issue over the picture does not arise.

“This brief clarification is made because media reports on Friday's proceedings of the court case have given rise to various views and statements by certain parties that could affect public opinion on the deputy prime minister,” Tengku Sarifuddin said in a statement yesterday.

In the high-profile murder trial, Altantuya’s cousin Burmaa Oyunchimeg, 26, told the court on Friday that she had seen a picture of Altantuya having a meal at the same table with political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, 46, and a Malaysian government official who was known by the name of “Najib Razak” and several others.

Burmaa, also known as Amy, said Altantuya showed her the picture when they were in Hong Kong after the Mongolian beauty had returned from France.

However, the picture was not shown in court. – Bernama

I think that Mr. Najib is running into some problem here, how on earth that his name is linked after all? Does Mr. Najib knew Baginda? What kind of relation is him with Baginda? Does SHE know Najib? Does SHE also with NAJIB?... too many question but one certainty.....Najib is in this case for sure....
