KT By-Election - A Ghost From The Past.

The KT by-election is the testing ground for Najib to assess how the Malay support for him will be. He has high hopes that come March he will be the PM in the making. But like the Ichok and Permatang Pauh by-elections, the question about the Mongolian woman will keep haunting the KT by-election in which he is spearheading for a bigger win.

The people of Terengganu welcome Najib and at the same time they want to remind him of the ghost of Altantuya. The five PKR Youth members arrested for putting up Altantuya’s posters are the proof of seriousness that not only the Terengganu people want to know the truth but also Malaysians as well.

If BN wants to tackle the issues pertaining to the people then the Mongolian case is the issue too. Issues of the mega projects of Monsoon Cup to the Crystal Mosque in the state are the concern of the people in Terengganu because many are still living in poor conditions and below poverty level.

It is difficult for the people to trust the notoriety of those in power for not telling the truth. Malaysians are not a bunch of illiterates or immature goons who would not ask questions. The mainstream media could not easily manipulate the thinking Malaysians, and we will be goons if we allow ourselves so to believe what they are spinning.

KT by-election will open up a can of worms and let us try if we can take the creepy-crawly feelings.

The ghost from the past has returned again – From Ichok to Permatang Pauh and finally to Kuala Terengganu.

An Interview with Mr.Setev Shaariibuu. 31st. October 2008.


Setev Shaariibuu.


He is the man who had lost his daughter Altantuya, in the annihilation that shocked the world. His wry smile to oblige his picture taken had traces of melancholy vividly shown on his weather-beaten face. His teary eyes could not suppress his feelings, trying hard to digest the verdict at the Shah Alam High Court which concluded that the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case of abetment against Abdul Razak Baginda. What was in his mind and what would he say? And it all began from here.

It was around 10 a.m. the corridor was crowded by local and foreign reporters. We went to the cafeteria to have a bite and returned to the main lobby. We chose a spot where we could have a clear view of the lift and the main entrance.

Hardly 15 minutes wait, they emerged. They puffed like a chimney more to the addiction of tobacco rather than to calm their nerves. We tailed them down the staircase leading to the cafeteria.

Q: If Altantuya knows only one person in Malaysia, as claimed, we like to know who.
(The question was translated to Setev and he replied in his Mongolian language.)

Answer (translated). “I have nothing to say but you can ask Altantuya. That’s all I have to say.

Question: What is your next plan Mr.Setev?

Answer: “I have a passport of Mongolia. I’m a Mongolian citizen and Mongolia will help her citizen. That’s why I show you the passport.”

Mr.Setev refused to answer further questions and we were told that they were tired and wanted to be excused.



They left the court building to a waiting car.

The somber mood filled the air the whole morning. Where are Bala and Raja Petra? If Razak did not order the killing then who did? If Altantuya knows only one person in Malaysia, then who the person is? Malaysians want the answers and they want them NOW!

The whole episode smells like rotten fish in the wet market and even the verdict was expected by most Malaysians.




Will the DPM swear again in KT that he does not know her?
