POLICE REPORT MADE TO REOPEN INVETIGATION PAPERS IN ALTANTUYA MURDER
KUALA LUMPUR Oct 22 Okt (Bernama) -- People's Justice Party (Parti Keadilan Rakyat - PKR) Youth leader Badrul Hisham Shaharin Tuesday led a group of five persons from Malaysian Youth Secretariat ("Sekretariat Anak Muda Malaysia") (SAMM) to make a police report against Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in relation to the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case.
Badrul, who acted as the group's spokesman, said they asked the police to
reopen the investigation papers on the murder of the Mongolian woman and
investigate their allegation that Najib misused his power and postion in the
case.
Najib, who has become the target of various accusations since emerging as
the sole candidate for the post of Umno president, has denied he has any
connection with the woman.
The group made the police report at the Dang Wangi police district
headquarters at about 1.30pm.
The group also alleged that they handed to police 21 pages of documents to
support the allegation that Najib was involved in corruption in relation to the
purchase of military equipment.
"We ask police to investigate Najib's involvement in the purchase of the
Eurocopter helicopters when he was Defence Minister which saw a large amount of
government money being invested," he said.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) had investigated the purchase of the
French-German helicopters, to replace the more than 30-years old Sikorsky
helicopters used by the Malaysian Armed Forces, following the various
allegations of corruption.
Various quarters, at the same time, had supported the purchase of the long
range choppers although they cost more than other models as they were of good
quality and had sophisticated technology.
Badrul said the secretariat will also make a report to the Anti-Corruption
Agency by tomorrow at the latest.
Dang Wangi police chief ACP Mohamed Zulkarnain Abd Rahman when contacted
confirmed the report was made and said police will investigate.
The United Malays National Organisation, or UMNO, is a right-wing party and
Malaysia's largest political party; a founding member of the Barisan Nasional
coalition, which has been Malaysia's ruling political party since
independence.
