Police Report Made To Reopen Invetigation Papers In Altantuya Murder

KUALA LUMPUR Oct 21 Okt (Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Youth leader Badrul Hisham Shaharin today led a group of five persons from "Sekretariat Anak Muda Malaysia" (SAMM) to make a police report against Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri 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.
