Altantuya Murder Trial - Day 2 -19 Jun 07

Altantuya Shaariibuu demanded US$500,000 (about RM1.7 million) cash and three air tickets to Mongolia from political analyst Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda just a few days day before she was murdered, the High Court heard today. Witness P. Balasubramaniam, the private investigator hired by Abdul Razak to protect his daughter, testified that Altantuya had asked him to convey this demand to her former lover, who had been avoiding her. Continuing his testimony on the second day of the murder trial, he also disclosed that: * Altantuya had created a scene outside Abdul Razak's house late on Oct 17 last year, screaming abuses and demanding that the political analyst speak to her. * She was later taken to the police station but her private eye, Ang Chong Beng, persuaded her not to lodge a police report against Abdul Razak, with whom she had a whirlwind affair. That was when she made known her demand. * Balasubramaniam later met Abdul Razak on this and he said he would discuss it with a "pegawai atasan" (senior officer) and would take action after that.
