Malaysia’s lopsided justice!
Selective justice is injustice
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3, 2025: News Wave has an article by JK Joseph titled The Madani Enigma: “Justice For Palestinians - But What About Altantuya And Her Unborn Child”.
So, is PKR and Pakatan Harapan (PH) really about justice for Malaysians and Malaysia?
And here’s a response to the article on Facebook:
Notes to ponder: Selective justice is actually an “injustice”; and may be nothing more than plain hypocrisy.

In 2018 Anwar had called for a fresh trial of Altantuya's murder case; but why is he “silent” on it now? A case of “selective justice”…?
Without doubt PMX and many of us - caring, kind-hearted and peace-loving Malaysians - are now in the forefront of championing the Palestinian cause; even fearlessly demanding action against the evil Zionist forces for the cruel bombings carried out by them on the people of Gaza.
Yet strangely, why is it that we appear to show less urgency when called to deal with our own citizens guilty of committing an equally heinous crime against a helpless mother and her unborn child - whose body was crudely blown up using our own “bombs?”
In truth, isn't Altantuya’s killing similar to the cold-blooded “bombings” of innocent women and children in Gaza?
Recently, in a fresh twist to the tragedy, Shaariibuu Setev, the father of the murdered Mongolian lady, had filed a judicial review application; it was reportedly to seek court orders to compel the authorities to investigate the contents of former police officer Azilah Hadri’s additional affidavit dated Sept 24, 2024, in which he had claimed of having acted under explicit instructions (from higher authorities).
In short, this latest legal challenge is premised on a statutory declaration made by Azilah, who had claimed in earlier court documents that he was ordered by then-deputy prime minister Najib Razak to kill and dispose of Altantuya - which the latter had consistently denied.
Among others Shaariibuu is seeking several specific court orders which includes an order to compel the respondents to inform him in detail the status and outcome of any police investigation into Azilah’s claims since 2019 - and also that if the investigation is ongoing, an order for it to be completed within one month and for the results to be shared with him in detail.
For the record, there are still some big “question marks” over the grisly murder which has been shrouded in mystery and controversy from day one; and like the shameful 1MDB mega scandal it is one of those hot topics that refuse to fade from public discourse in the country.
In fact, back in December 2019, during the last few months prior to the fall of the Pakatan Harapan government, it was reported that the then-attorney general Tommy Thomas was planning to order a fresh probe into the case.

It was reported that Thomas had told Bloomberg: “Everybody knew that it just did not make sense for the two of them (former police special action force members – Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar) to be solely culpable.”
The "real masterminds” of Altantuya’s murder may have been brought to justice by the then-PH government if not for the Sheraton Move!
In fact, that same month Azilah had sought a review of the Federal Court's decision to reinstate his conviction and death sentence where in a statutory declaration (SD) from death row in the Kajang prison, he had made the shocking allegation that Najib had actually ordered the killing!
Equally shocking was another “revelation” by Azilah that in spite of the disgraced ex-PM’s claim that he had never met Altantuya, it was alleged that the latter had actually met her together with Razak Baginda in London.
Unsurprisingly, Azilah and Sirul were both convicted and sentenced to death in 2015 – during Najib's premiership!
Then with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, and failure by successive administrations to dig deeper to unearth more truth, several intriguing questions have been left unanswered until this day.
The most obvious and straightforward question would of course be: who had ordered the two police personnel to kill the victim?
Also, what possible motive could there be for the body of a murder victim to be disposed of via explosives if it's not to get rid of incriminating evidence? If that's the case, wouldn't it be tantamount to a cover up? And if so, again, under whose orders?
Shockingly, there were others who were linked to the case who were not called up as witnesses, one of them allegedly being Najib's former aide de camp Musa Safri; isn't it only morally right to haul them to court now to testify? Why should they fear if they are innocent?
As for Razak Baginda, one of the central figures in the young Mongolian mother's murder, is it not suspicious that the government did not bother to appeal his acquittal for abetting the crime?
Hasn't justice been denied to Altantuya and her grieving family?
Actually, isn't Anwar's current Madani government which espouses values such as respect and compassion for fellow humans duty bound to correct alleged injustices in the Mongolian murder case - just like how it valiantly fights for justice for the oppressed Palestinians?
In any case, the chilling message for the “true masterminds” of Altantuya's killing would be; they can run from the court - but not their creator! And even if the long and at times cumbersome arms of justice fail to track them down, divine retribution will guarantee that they - and their future generations - pay a heavy price for their crime!
The truth is, karma has no time bar; as for those of us who have no qualms in practicing “selective justice”, aren't we also indirectly complicit in that gruesome murder committed on our very own soil?
