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. 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.

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

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

  4. 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?

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

  6. 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

  8. 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.

  10. 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!!

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

  15. 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).

  17. 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.

  21. A Special Tribute to Altantuya…an innocent victim of a heinous crime…that ended her young life…4th anniversary of her being blown up to pieces in Malaysia…during the month of Ramadan in 2006..

    What words are there to express sorrow..
    When you can hear them no more…?
    Your destiny ended here..in my nation called Malaysia
    In the most tragic way

    What justice can be great enough..
    To bring you back..alive, in flesh and blood?
    To restore your dignity torn apart?

    How much pain did you go through?
    How much fear filled your being?
    At that moment..when time stood still for you?
    Questions that will remain unanswered in the passage of time

    People declared innocence
    But none offered your dad
    A closure…
    An apology…consolation…
    Nothing.
    As he sat through it all..
    A forlorn, anguish …figure.
    Grieving the loss of his precious daughter
    Seeking justice…
    Did compassion take leave then?
    When two innocent children became orphans?

    I shed a tear for you,
    I whisper a prayer for you…
    Forgive me…
    For what more can I do;
    Being a mere helpless, mortal soul among 28 million?
    If even these I do not offer you,
    Human…I am not…

    God is watching..
    God is near you…
    Your broken body He will make whole..
    Justice will prevail one day
    For no one is above God..
    There will a Judgement Day..
    When all will stand equal
    Before The Creator Himself
    When you will have your say
    And no fear to silence you

    Till then…rest peacefully…
    Forgive us…millions who watched and heard
    Yet powerless to speak up
    When justice died without explaining
    How you landed here alive
    And went back as ashes…in cold lifeless urns

    Truth will not remain dead forever…
    Dearest Altantuya…sleep now
    Your time is up
    Your suffering is over
    But ours has just started…
    Where will this sin take us?
    How can we purge ourselves?
    Your senseless death..
    On the grounds of a nation
    That was born through non-violence means

    Time will tell..
    Sleep now…you are safe…
    But we are not…for we have earned
    God’s wrath…
    Your demise hanging over each and every one of us
    Till truth is reclaimed…
