Abdul Razak: Najib not involvedDeputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is not involved in the Altantuya murder case, claimed former political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda today.
Speaking to the media for the first time since his acquittal from the case on Oct 31, Abdul Razak said that neither Najib nor his wife, Rosmah Mansor, had met Altantuya.
"I know that Najib and his wife had never met the deceased, Altantuya. So much 'fitnah' (lies) have been thrown towards the DPM and his wife.
"Those who have spread such lies can never produce any authentic evidence because there are none."
He also said that Altantuya was never involved in any arms deal as was mentioned by various quarters for the reason of her killing.
The former Najib aide said that the arms deal took place in 2002, and he met Altantuya two years after that.
He added that he could do nothing about the public perception on the matter, urging everyone to stop linking Najib and Rosmah to the murder.
Abdul Razak also said that Najib would make a good prime minister.
The political analyst was originally charged with abetting with two elite police officers to murder Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu in November 2006.
Surprise acquittal
He was however acquitted without having to enter defence on Oct 31. The other two will have their defence heard next year when the trial continues.
Abdul Razak's acquittal came as a shock to many observers as the prosecution had claimed to have a strong case against him.
Claims of alleged political interference in the case grew stronger when the prosecution did not appeal against the acquittal.
In his 50-minute long press conference held at Hotel Maya in Kuala Lumpur this morning, Abdul Razak blamed bloggers and opinion makers in creating a negative impression on the case.
He also said that he planned to finish his doctoral degree in international relations at Oxford University.
The press conference was also attended by his father and brother. Both his wife and daughter were not there.
Abdul Razak is a known confidante of Najib, having worked on government arms procurement projects while the latter was defence minister.
He was to have held a press conference on Nov 6 but it was cancelled at the last minute.

whoever murdered the lady should be brought to justice. whoever blew her body should be brought to justice. this is a relgious duty and we are answerable to Allah. as muslims we should not let this happen and ignore justice to the bereaved.
Salam tunku...
Kenapa tunku tak komen di bawah artikel ini? Selalunya setiap artikel pasti ada komen. Tunku tak tahu nak komen apa atau tunku ada musykil atau curiga dengan sidang akhbar Razak Baginda ni?..Maaf sebab bertanya. Cuma nak tahu saja...
salam mahyudin,
saya tak boleh nak komen lagi, tunggu perbicaraan sirul dgn azhar selesai.benda yang tak pasti ni kita nak komen pun susah juga.
Dear Tunku
Sebagai Muslim, kita percaya pada Hari Kiamat dan Hari Pembalasan. Dunia hanya sementara. Dua orang anak yang masih kecil kehilangan ibu mereka yang tersayang. Seorang bapa kehilangan seorang anak yang tersayang. Belainan agama bulan isu. Berlainan keturunan bukan isu. Islam adalah agama yang syumul untuk manusia sejagat. Malangnya, perkara ini berlaku di Malaysia - sebuah negara Islam. Sesiapa saja yang terlibat seharusnya di bawa ke muka keadilan. Ini adalah suatu amanah yang seharusnya dipikul oleh Muslimin. Tak guna cakap Islam Hadhari, sedang mencari Al-Ghazali atau Al-Shafie... cari saja orang yang membunuh perempuan ini. BUKAN SUSAH JIKA BENAR-BENAR BERHAJAT.
I had reasons to believe our friend had been punished publicly, and the court judgement is already made.
He had make police report and should there be any guilt , it is to be carry on by him for the rest of life. But if it is not, why should we bother, What ever sinful between a man and a women is known between themselves and not knowing the deadly character of a women is also a mistake of a sinful man.
Let this be a lesson to all 'man'kind. , WHen you make your day and when you are rich, don't fool around and always think of your family. Every step you walk could be a land mine.
to be Dr. Razak...You are a talented man, you are a well read person, (you had so many book in your office). I am deeply admire of your reading power.
Let the past be the past, and use your talent for the good of country and man-kind.
Perhaps a book from you after the judgement and truth would give a good lesson to man-kind.
I will be the first to q and buy the book with your signature.
