Altantuya’s father Setev left speechless

The picture says it all: Bewildered and dejected, Setev Shariibuu looks a broken man after the verdict this morning

Someone asked, “Do you believed that justice still exists in our country?”

Setev shook his head as his interpreter replied, “In my country, there is this law.. Justice!… and he (pointing at Setev) doesn’t want to criticise the judge’s decision because he hopes this decision was taken in line with  Malaysian law… because it’s an area where the lawyer and the judge are independent of the Government…”

The interpreter was interrupted by Setev, who took out his passport issued by the Mongolian government, saying he is a citizen of Mongolia, which “protects its citizens”.

A father’s anguish: Setev (centre) cuts a forlorn figure as his interpreter Siizkhuu Sainbileg (Second Secretary, Embassy of Mongolia, Bangkok) (left) and the Mongolian Consul based in KL (right) huddle with him.

Setev was asked later if he would be taking the matter up with the World Court as a last resort.

“I have nothing to say… at this moment,” he replied through his interpreter.

  1. I think most of us are left speechless even though the outcome is a foregone conclusion. This is Bolehland remember, where anything goes if you are in power. May God have mercy on them.

  2. [...] …img Anilnetto.com [...]

  3. I pity him. …

    We are sorry, Mr Sharibuu.

  4. Expected! The whole world know the outcome after RPK published the sms conversation between DPM & Lawyer…

  5. mongolia should just … bring the murderers back to their own country for trial.

  6. ….

    malaysia boleh!!!

  7. We are indeed sorry for this. THE family lost a daughter,MAlAYSIANS have lost their dignity.

  8. Haven’t you people heard of a k… court? Any judicial reform is only a whitewash & PR exercise. …

  9. Hi Anil;
    Rights is the … general consul. not steve’s lawyer.

    Thanks, already corrected, cheers, Anil

  10. the spirit of altantunya will haunt the guilty ones with no rest!!

  11. If i were Mr Sharibuu, i will bring this case to International Court.

    Is this wat they call as Judicial Reform? …

  12. i agreed with vgp’s comment

    ‘We are indeed sorry for this. THE family lost a daughter,MAlAYSIANS have lost their DIGNITY’

    Do u all agree? i think most malaysians agree…

  13. If Najib visit Mongolia in the future… Mongolian government should …

  14. …What sort of justice system dp we have.
    … It is simply incredible…
    Setev, for all your sufferings and injustice done to your daughter, we the decent Malaysians can only comfort you by saying, “We are sorry”.

  15. I am not the least surprised by this outcome. Setev should take his case to international court…

  16. With the verdict at the court (30th Oct) today
    The deceased had indeed a very high cost to pay
    It’s not just to have the case to really delay
    But for those involved to partake in more replay

  17. sorry mistyped; credible should read incredible

  18. Bring this matter to international court. There is no more law in Malaysia. Send those who master-minded her murder to hell.

  19. I see rejection, lost all around Mr. Sharibyuu face. You lost your love somehow and we share your sorrows..

  20. The acquittal of Razak Baginda has proven (the) SMS response to Shafee Abdullah that “all is not lost” to be correct, correct, correct! Now with the continued disappearance of P I Balasubramaniam …

    The big loser … is Altantuya’s father Setev Shaaribu, and we hope that he will come up with fresh evidence to ensure that the “real culprits” do not escape justice. …He has now to make use of his Mongolian govt to approach the UN and other external bodies to get to the bottom of this …

  21. Wel this is expected and dont be shocked the 2 guys ….

  22. If Baginda has no case to answer what then would be the motive for Altantuya’s murder?

    You mean two total strangers woke up one morning and said ‘There must be someone called Altantuya in KL, so let’s find and C4 her today!!’

    Perhaps the judge missed this crucial point you think?

    Allah menyelamatkan negara tercinta ini.

    Ameen

  24. Guys, it isn’t what it appears to be. It goes much much deeper than what we are led to believe. … …This goes beyond just a simple murder case….

  25. Mr Shariibuu,

    On behalf of 99.9% of Malaysians, I apologise to you for all your suffering. …

    May the culprits be burned in hell for 10,000,000 years.

  26. anil, your photos of mr shariibuu hurt more than the court decision. the latter can be brushed aside with a jaded, cynical “yeah. right. what else is new?” sneer. mr shariibuu’s naked pain and hopelessness, on the other hand, cuts deep. and this can only be but a smidgen of the father’s anguish.

  27. Apa yang perlu dipelajari dalam hal ini ialah, mesti tahu cara ugut yang betul, jika tidak, mungkin diletupkan.

  28. Those two cops who will be prosecuted should spill all to save their necks. Why should they be sacrificial goats?

    Guys, guys,

    The judge acquitted Razak Baginda because Razak did not give the instruction to kill. Someone else … than Razak had given the instruction to kill Altantuya. The judge is right to free Razak. I salute Justice Zaki Yassin’s ruling. But who is this “SOMEONE (ELSE)”? Anyone care to guess?

  30. The judgment is a foregone conclusion…
    This is justice, Malaysian style.

  31. Atlantuya couldn’t smile
    Into pieces she had been done
    Now the verdict came
    Razak Baginda is freed

    The subplot players
    They are asked to make their defence
    Into it justice must reveal
    The true shadow players behind the plot

    Atlantuya never wanted to go this way
    Though she might have asked for more
    On her services rendered to procure projects
    She shouldn’t be murdered into pieces

    Now the stage is set
    For the real truth to be told
    The subplot players couldn’t work alone
    There must be a person of authority to instruct
    The way it was done now is the time

    PI Bala must be recalled to testify
    In this case Atlantuya begged him to do in dreams
    The right time to amend his testimony
    To shade light on her gruesome murder

    The main players must be found
    In justice the truth must be told
    No matter how important the person is
    Nobody is above the law
    This is what we are told
    Yet in reality it works otherwise

    Atlantuya
    We pray you will find your justice
    Somewhere in time in days ahead
    Tell your family in dreams
    Where you kept your evidence
    So justice can be done

  32. …those two UTKs… we will never know their faces.

    ,,,(if they are sentenced to death, how will we know if they are not) still alive…?

  33. Eventhough Altantuya is gone,she has been there in the court room following the case and she also know who are guilty ones.People can cheat,cover up and mislead the court but Altantuya,the guilty ones and someone up there know the truth.

    You may escape Malaysian … court but you will not escape the punishment specially prepared for you when your time is up.You can laugh now but just wait who will have the last laugh.

  34. [...] read this with a heavy heart. Someone asked, “Do you believed that justice still exists in our [...]

  35. It is a better outcome for Baginda to be discharged… ultimately the real culprit is not him. If h had been found guilty - the CASE is closed!!

  36. I am left speechless and ashamed. We are so sorry and so sad …

    …Where do normal people, the ordinary citizens stand in this country? Nowhere! God help our country.

  37. Be warned, foreign girls! ….

    I am sorry, Mr. Shariibuu. I am ashamed of being a Malaysian. …

  38. To Mr Setev & Altantuya’s 2 kids… we are truly sorry.

    I suppose the verdict was not unexpetced. When GE13 comes in 2012, lets make it decisive. We can wait.

  39. Wat do u xpect..when UMNO/BN CIRCUS is still in town?

  40. digital underworld on November 1st, 2008 at 4.19am

    P.I. Bala, I believe that you do have children of your own. Just take a deep breath and imagine for one short moment of your present life that it was you in the same predicament as Mr.Setev and that it was your child instead (god forbid as one life lost is too many). What would you feel if someone made a statutory declaration one fine day and then said(what tantamounts to) ‘acah je’ the next. Whatever it is, if you did have any relevant info pertaining to this case which you ran away from revealing, for whatever reasons that you may have or come by, I just hope you can live with yourself in this world( India, as rumours have it).

  41. This is a foregone decision and to our PM-in-waiting, the 13th GE will also be a foregone decision. HIDUP HIDUP RAKYAT! TAK NAK TAK NAK BN!

  42. We must stand up and be counted now. we must fight them in the courts, we must fight them in the media, we must (protest) peacefully in the streets if we must. We Malaysians have had enough. Our leaders like Anwar Ibrahim, Zaid Ibrahim, Lim kit Siang, Karpal Singh, teresa Kok must challenge their ‘ketuanan’ at every juncture. We will not rest, we must not rest. Why is Raja Petra in Kamunting jail when Baginda Razak et al are walking free. Why are people like Mukhriz Mahatir allowed to make sweeping statements that border on some would say racist statements and are hailed as national heroes when teresa kok had her house fire bombed. No more, enough! Basta! we must consolidate and stand now or we will be silenced forever.

  43. Mr shariibuu,
    We are sorry to hear the case had come to this conclusion. This land is call MALAYSIA and any thing can become BOLEH!!!!!. but we believe in GOD the fair and justice judge. Who has done wrong will not escape his fury and punishment.

  44. This was a foregone conclusion but this is only part 1….

    Pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  45. .. Epitomy of a Failed nation - Malaysia.
