 Mongolia has threatened to
break diplomatic ties with Malaysia over the murder trial of Mongolian
Altantuya Shaariibuu.
During an emotional press conference
in Malaysia on Friday, Dr Shaariibuu Setev, father of the murder victim,
announced that both the Mongolian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister
have said Mongolia would sever ties with Malaysia if the outcome of
the ongoing murder trial is deemed “irresponsible and unfair.”
Three Malaysian officials are
currently being tried for the 2006 murder of Shaariibuu.
Trial testimony revealed that
the 28-year old Mongolian woman was murdered after trying to confront
Abdul Razak Baginda, a political consultant to top Malaysian elected
officials. Police were called to Razak’s house on October 19, 2006,
after Shaariibuu was reported at his front gate creating a disturbance.
A number of hours later, the
Mongolian woman was discovered in a field after she had been murdered.
Court testimony indicated Shaariibuu
was enraged with Razak following his ending a relationship with her.
Besides Razak, two Malaysian
policemen were charged with murder.
Also on Friday, Mongolian honorary
consul-general to Malaysia, Datuk Syed Abdul Rahman Alhabshi, said he
was shocked by news that his country was considering breaking ties to
Malaysia. “I was shocked when I heard that statement on television
just now,” he said. “The Mongolian prime minister has written to
the Malaysian Prime Minister three times, but there is still no reply.
Mongolia should not be taken for granted.”
