…

A few days ago I watched the entire 8 hourKennedys mini-series, which will be airing on ReelzChannel beginning on April 3 (view the entire schedule and a sneak peek for the mini-series here). Of course, most of you will probably know about the controversy surrounding the series. It was originally supposed to air on the History Channel but the network chose to pass on the series after it had been filmed. It was shopped around and eventually acquired by ReelzChannel.

Rumors were abound as to why History Channel chose to pass on the series. Some people say that it was due to historical inaccuracies, while others said that the script was extremely salacious and controversial. In fact, in mid-January, The Daily Beast posted what were apparently script excerpts from the series; eight of them, to be exact. Eight scenes that were apparently in the movie. If any of these eight scenes - nevermind all of them - actually turned out to be in the finished product, I could understand why the History Channel chose to pass on the film. It would have rendered it extremely controversial. But the truth is that the finished product is not salacious. Yes, it portrays President Kennedy as a womanizer, but history has proven that as well. Yes, it portrays patriarch Joe Kennedy as extremely ambitious and driven, but that also fits with what we know of the man. In the end, The Kennedys mini-series is about a family who lived through some extraordinary times and had their own problems, but who ultimately loved one another in their own way.

In case you read about the eight salacious scenes from The Daily Beast, or elsewhere on the internet, I wanted to set the record straight on the script controversy and let you know whether these scenes actually ended up in the finished series. I also intend to write a full review of the performances, so stay tuned for that later in the week. Here's the proposed scenes taken from The Daily Beast and the truth of them:

(1) Wilkinson’s Joe Sr. fondles his secretary in his office at the ambassador’s residence in London in 1938. As he dictates a note to the president, Joe “fondles her breasts” and “nuzzles her neck.” When sons Joe Jr. and Jack enter his office, Joe Sr. continues his fondling as his sons look on, “amused.” The note he’s dictating? It suggests that in order to keep the peace in Europe, certain concessions be made to Hitler. (It’s a viewpoint later parroted by son Joe Jr. even after the annexation of Czechoslovakia.) A comment made about Jack’s shabby clothes results in him telling his father, “Girls figure I need help dressing. Once I get ‘em in the closet…”

This scene doesn't take place at all. Yes, it is made clear that Joe had an affair with his secretary (and his wife even witnesses moments between them and is aware of the affair), but nothing so obvious or gauche occurs at all.

(2) Years later, Joe Sr. and his secretary Janet pass by his wife Rose in the hallway of their Hyannisport home on Election Night 1960. After chatting with Rose, he and his secretary Janet enter his bedroom as Rose locks her own bedroom door.

This scene doesn't take place at all. Again, Rose witnesses moments between the pair, but nothing like this.

(3) Joe Sr. learns that Jack is romantically involved with married Danish national Inga Arvard (whom Jack refers to as “Inga Binga”), a woman that J. Edgar Hoover reports has “been linked to counterintelligence activities in Washington on behalf of the German government.” When Jack refuses to break off relations with Arvard, Joe Sr. has Jack shipped overseas after placing a call to the secretary of the Navy.

A relationship between Jack and Inga is mentioned, but Joe doesn't ship Jack overseas. In fact, Jack is the one who insists on fighting in the war and has to beg his father to get his medical records fixed so that he can qualify to join the Navy.

(4) When beloved eldest son Joe Jr. dies during the war, Joe Sr. receives the tragic news by retreating to his bedroom alone, leaving his deeply religious wife Rose holding her rosary by herself. Upon entering the bedroom, he spies a two-foot wooden crucifix on the wall and breaks it across his knee.

When the Kennedys find out about the death of their son, they are both extremely saddened. Rose does want her husband to pray with her, but Joe is so upset at God for taking away his son that he refuses. He waves around a crucifix to prove his point, but doesn't break it. His actions fit in with those of a grieving father.

(5) Brothers Jack and Bobby engage in banter about horniness after their father has begun to apply pressure on Jack to marry in 1951. “What do you do when you’re horny?” asks Jack. “I mean, how can you stand the boredom?” When Bobby replies that he loves Ethel (who has just jumped into the pool during a party in McLean, at which she released live frogs), Jack says, “I love lobster, but not every night. If I don’t have some strange ass every couple of days, I get migraines.”

This conversation and scene doesn't happen at all. Yes, Jack's affairs are made clear during the mini-series, but Jack doesn't behave so obviously and is never so crass.

(6) On Election Day 1960, Jack implies to his brother Bobby that he had sex with a redheaded aide in his campaign offices. “She volunteered to work overtime last night,” says Jack. “We discussed the ins and outs of politics.”

There is a flirtation between Jack and an aide on Election Day, which both Jackie and Bobby witness, but Jack doesn't refer to her in this manner. Nor does he ever talk about his mistresses like this.

(7) In September 1953, while at Hyannisport, Joe Sr. tells Jackie he knows her grandfather was a Jew, changing his name from Levy to Lee so that he “could get a job on Wall Street.” In the same conversation, Jackie tells Joe Sr. she wants a divorce from Jack. In order to keep the two together, Joe Sr. offers Jackie a $1 million trust, with the promise that if Jack doesn’t win presidency, she can leave him and keep the money.

The conversation about the name change never takes place. Joe does offer Jackie a $1 million trust, but this all fits in line with what we know of Joe and his desire to make his children powerful. In all honesty, it fits in with the storyline.

(8) Joe Sr. buys off Chicago Italian mobster Sam Giancana in an effort to help win Jack’s presidential election, telling Giancana to “get names off of tombstones for all I give a damn.” In exchange, Joe Sr. promises Giancana protection from the Justice Department and the IRS once Jack is elected. “If you get on board—my hand to God—all you boys’ll see the best times you’ve had since Prohibition,” he says.

Giancana does pop up in a few of the episodes as a minor character. Joe does approach him for help to win Jack's election, but Giancana actually dismisses him. The tombstone conversation never takes place. Joe isn't even aware that Frank Sinatra independently convinced Giancana to help Jack with the election. When that information comes out, Joe is actually shocked about what Sinatra promised Giancana for his assistance and wants nothing to do with it.

So there you have it: 95% of the controversial scenes never take place in the series. I honestly don't know if they were edited out before or after History Channel saw their version or not, but the truth is that the Kennedys aren't portrayed any worse in this mini-series then they have in any other movies or series I've ever seen. While Joe Kennedy seems, at times, to be very cold, he is also a devoted and loving father. While Jack Kennedy was a philanderer, he admits that he made mistakes and still seemed to love his wife.

I'm not sure what all the controversy is after having watched the finished product, so don't let these rumors deter you from watching the premiere on April 3.

The Daily Beast has obtained an undated draft of the first episode of writer Kronish’s script for The Kennedys, potentially the same draft the late former Kennedy adviser Theodore C. Sorensen and documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald, founder of website StopKennedySmears.com, told The New York Times last winter was “political character assassination.”

The episode largely revolves around the Svengali-like grip that Joe Kennedy (Wilkinson) held over his sons, Joe Jr. (slain during WWII), war hero Jack, and lawyer Bobby (Barry Pepper), telling his story in non-linear fashion. The action flashes between his undergraduate days at Harvard—where he was denied admission the exclusive Porcellian Club (itself recently featured in The Social Network)—and two political campaigns being waged by John Kennedy (Kinnear), one for Congress and one the fateful presidential campaign that made him the 35th president of the United States.

But while the scene is set for JFK’s victory over Richard Nixon in 1960, Kronish seems to relish in painting the Kennedys as a group of rowdy schoolboys, equally hungry for power and sex, particularly in the case of Wilkinson’s Joe Sr., whose quest for vengeance provides the throughline for the first episode.

What follows are eight of the most shocking moments in the script for The Kennedys’ first installment. (Kennedy obsessives, is there any truth to these dramatized events?)

Wilkinson’s Joe Sr. fondles his secretary in his office at the ambassador’s residence in London in 1938. As he dictates a note to the president, Joe “fondles her breasts” and “nuzzles her neck.” When sons Joe Jr. and Jack enter his office, Joe Sr. continues his fondling as his sons look on, “amused.” The note he’s dictating? It suggests that in order to keep the peace in Europe, certain concessions be made to Hitler. (It’s a viewpoint later parroted by son Joe Jr. even after the annexation of Czechoslovakia.) A comment made about Jack’s shabby clothes results in him telling his father, “Girls figure I need help dressing. Once I get ‘em in the closet…”

What did Playboy model Jenna Bentley do on a shoot in Hawaii yesterday? Whatever comes natural to a fame whore, baby... Here is Jenna on a photo shoot on a beach when one of her gigantic left tit pop out. And then that boob popped out some more for good measure. Now you might ask yourself why does she keep um...popping out? While I ask why not? This is what attention whores do with thei tits. And by the way, a woman does inject that much cubic centimeters of silicone in her chest without being an attention whore. Anyway, Jenna is way too much plastic for my taste. Her boobs look like the creation of a mad scientific who has never seen a set of tits on a real live woman before. This is how airbags look after an auto accident. Maybe if they at least looked natural or maybe a little less like someone shoved honeydews down her shirt I wouldn't mind. I don't like plastic. And then there is the horsey thing!

future First Lady, graduated from Miss Porter’s School, in Farmington, Connecticut, in 1947, the yearbook made note of her wit, her accomplishment as a horsewoman, and her unwillingness to become a housewife. Ample evidence of the first of these traits is to be found in a cache of unpublished letters which is coming up for auction at Christie’s next month, most of them written from Farmington, and all addressed to R. Beverley Corbin, Jr., a beau who was a student at Harvard. “If school days are the happiest days of your life, I’m hanging myself with my skip-rope tonight,” Jackie—as she signed herself—wrote in the fall of 1945, when she was sixteen.

In the letters—of which there are about twenty, all but one written in the course of about eighteen months, and which are valued at twenty-five to thirty-five thousand dollars—Jackie is, like most teen-agers, cynical, whimsical, and vulnerable, by turns. There is much chafing against the regulations of school, where visits from callers were strictly governed; in one letter she informs Corbin that she will be visiting a church in Boston on a field trip, and suggests that he arrange to turn up coincidentally in the pews at the appropriate hour. Some boys had pulled a similar stunt when her class visited a New Haven museum the previous year, she said. A teacher had asked the guards to expel them from the galleries, “but she couldn’t do that to you in a church.”

She complains about the dullness of her environs—“some man is beating his wife in the street which is the only interesting thing that’s happened all day”—and plans alternative education prospects for her own children. The boys, she says, will go to public school in New York City (“with gangsters”) and the girls to Hunter College: “They’ll all be morons but at least they won’t have to tear around and get their teeth knocked out playing hockey.” She is unimpressed by Vassar—“a huge lonely place”—on a visit, adding that if her father insists on her going there she will rebel and work her way through Sarah Lawrence until he relents. (She attended Vassar.) When an aptitude tester comes to the school, Jackie reports that the career path determined most suitable for her was that of a waitress or a photographer. (The latter, at least, she did become for a while, at the Washington Times-Herald.)

Jackie’s parents had divorced four years before she went to Miss Porter’s, and some of the letters give an insight into family affairs: in advance of a much anticipated Christmas holiday, she writes dryly that “I can commute happily between my doting parents until they both get sick of me.” In 1946, she reports that, at her mother’s, “the stork is hovering over our roof” (its bundle contained her half brother, James Auchincloss), and in a letter written from her father’s house in Hot Springs, Virginia, she says that “Daddy’s on the phone yelling at his poor little Clerk on the Stock Exchange and I can’t hear myself think—which probably won’t make too much difference.”

Her relationship with “Bev darling,” as she addresses him, appears to be more companionable than passionate: she writes fondly of cooking him scrambled eggs after a summer dance in Newport, and tells him of the parties she plans to go to when she’s on vacation in New York. “I’ll make the hours you stay up till look like the curfew for a two-year-old,” she says. By early 1947, when Corbin is out of college—“you ought to make a wonderful tycoon,” she writes, “the ruthless type who eyes you with a glance of steel and has a lovesick secretary lurking in the background”—the relationship is apparently faltering. (The final communication is a note in which she tells him she is engaged to marry John Husted, an engagement that ended a few months later.) Things with Corbin appear to fall apart over a kiss, which Jackie declines to bestow while the pair are at Rockefeller Center. He accuses her of not loving him; wounded, she withdraws in a manner recognizable to anyone who has navigated the perilous territory between epistolary romance and the face-to-face kind. “I do think I’m in love with you when I’m with you,” she writes. “But it’s awfully hard for me to stay in love with someone when I only see them every three months and when the only contact I have with them is through letters.”

C4 Murder: Malaysian Police will be calling up Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin to investigate allegations in his recent statutory declaration on purported facts related to the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the three individuals named in the document filed on June 18 would also be called up.

In an explosive statutory declaration to a Malaysian court, one of Malaysia’s most prominent web journalists has alleged that the wife of Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak as well as a Malaysian Army officer and the officer’s wife were directly involved in the murder of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu on October 19, 2006, and that people at the very top of the Malaysian government are aware of the fact. Raja Petra Kamaruddin states:

"Altantuya’s body is alleged to have been blown up with C4 explosives at a secondary forest in Puncak Alam, Shah Alam. The murder trial is currently ongoing at the Shah Alam High Court.

“My informer states that Aziz was the person who placed the C4 on various parts of Altantuya’s body witnessed by Rosmah and Norhayati,” Raja Petra claimed in the document.

“I make this statutory declaration because I have been reliably informed about the involvement of these three people who have thus far not been implicated in the murder nor called as witnesses by the prosecution in the ongoing trial at the Shah Alam High Court.

“I also make this statutory declaration because I am aware that it is a crime not to reveal evidence that may help the police in its investigation of the crime,” read the document, which was first posted on the bigdogdotcom blog run by another blogger."

He further alleged that he has also been ‘reliably informed’ that Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi knows of Najib’s wife alleged involvement.

Najib and Rosmah have repeatedly denied they are linked to the killing of Altantuya, describing the widely-known allegations was nothing more than ‘slander and concocted stories’.

The declaration, by Raja Petra Kamaruddin, a well-connected journalist who edits the web publication Malaysia Today and is on trial for sedition charges stemming from a commentary on the case. There is no independent confirmation of Raja Petra’s allegations, and the declaration was ignored by Malaysia’s government-linked mainstream media and one Kuala Lumpur-based lawyer with connections to top United Malays National Organisation figures expressed doubt about it.

In the declaration, Raja Petra claimed that the trio – one of them a prominent woman – were present at the scene during the murder of the Mongolian translator in October 2006.

Copies of the two-paged declaration together with the identity of the trio have been posted on various blog sites.

In the document, Raja Petra said he was “reliably informed” of these allegations. An aide to Najib also said they were aware of this latest claim made by Raja Petra. The aide however refused to comment if any action could be taken against Raja Petra.

Musa said the matter could be sub judice as the Altantuya murder case was still being heard.

He also said Raja Petra must be “brave enough to face the consequences if he is bold enough” to make the allegations.

Meanwhile, the Attorney-General’s Chambers has lodged a police report against Raja Petra over the statutory declaration.

Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail said the allegations were “highly defamatory” and if found untrue, those making the allegations would have to face the consequences.

“We want to investigate because we want the truth. As far as I am concerned, we have to look at it seriously.”

“If it’s true, we will act accordingly. If not, the writer will be investigated,” he said, adding that the report was lodged in Putrajaya on Saturday.

Raja Petra said he expected to be called up.

He said he was bold enough to face the consequences. This is not the first time he is alleging that Najib was involved in Altantuya’s murder, but he has failed to produce any solid proofs besides empty talks so far.

The story adds considerable chaos to the country’s political mix. The Barisan Nasional, the national ruling coalition, is reeling from the loss of its two-thirds majority in March elections. Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, taking the brunt of criticism over the loss, has already promised to step down at some future date to cede the premiership to Najib. District elections are due in July in the United Malays National Organisation and there are suspicions that the verdict in the Altantuya murder trial is being delayed until the elections are completed.

Raja Petra wrote that Najib’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, and Acting Colonel Aziz Buyong and his wife, Norhayati, Rosmah’s aide-de-camp, were present at the scene of the murder and that Aziz Buyong was the individual who placed C4 plastic explosive on Altantuya’s body and blew it up. Both Najib and his wife have repeatedly denied any involvement in the case although Kuala Lumpur has been buzzing for months with rumors of their complicity.

Shaariibuu was executed by two shots to the head and her body was blown up with military explosives in a patch of jungle near the suburban city of Shah Alam. One of Najib’s closest friends, Abdul Razak Baginda, once the influential head of a political think-tank, and two of Najib’s bodyguards, Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar of the elite Unit Tindak Khas or Special Police Action Unit, are the subjects of a marathon murder trial that got underway more than a year ago.

Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has ordered the police to conduct a thorough probe into the murder of a beautiful Mongolian freelance model.


The Prime Minister said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan informed him about the murder of 28-year-old Altantuya Shaariibuu.


"I told the IGP he had to investigate the case thoroughly and properly.


"Nobody is above the law. That should be remembered," he said when asked to comment on the high-profile murder that took place about two weeks ago.


The police have detained a 46-year-old prominent political analyst who heads a local think-tank and remanded him for five days from yesterday to facilitate investigation.


On the involvement of police personnel in the murder, Abdullah, who is also Internal Security Minister, said action must be taken against anybody found guilty under the law.


Three police personnel -- a chief inspector, a lance corporal and a constable -- have also been remanded to assist investigation into the gruesome killing of Altantuya, who was shot before her body was blown up to bits in a secondary jungle in Puncak Alam, Shah Alam.


The woman arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Oct 9 with her sister and a cousin in search of the political analyst whom she claimed fathered her 16-month-old son.


Altantuya's case came to light after her sister lodged a police report following her disappearance on Oct 21. Police identified the political analyst, who is said to have befriended the deceased a few years ago, as a suspect.


Earlier, Abdullah launched the Royal Professor Ungku Aziz Chair and the Centre for Poverty and Development Studies at Universiti Malaya.

Neither Najib nor his chief of staff, Musa Safri, has been questioned nor summoned to testify despite the fact that Baginda, in a sworn statement in November 2006, said he had contacted Musa for help in dealing with Altantuya, his jilted lover who was demanding money. That statement raised suspicions that all sides in the court – prosecution, defense and judiciary – are struggling to keep the case under wraps. The trial has been subject to numerous delays for reasons that are unclear.

Raja Petra himself is due to go on trial in October on sedition charges that were filed against him for writing an article titled “Let’s Send Altantuya’s Murderers to Hell.” In that piece, he accused Najib, his wife and others of complicity in the murder. He amplified the statement considerably in his statutory declaration, made last Wednesday, in which he also said that Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had seen a full report by military intelligence on the involvement of the deputy premier’s family. Badawi gave the intelligence report to his son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin, for safekeeping, according to Raja Petra’s statement.

Raja Petra, a member of the Selangor royal family, also wrote that one of the country’s sultans had been given a full report on the matter. He didn’t identify the sultan, but if his statements are true it means that at least one member of royalty may be able to back up his declaration, which was not made under oath.

From the time Altantuya’s body was discovered, the case has raised dark questions about the possible involvement of top government figures. Others also believe that the 28-year-old mother of two may have been involved in a much bigger controversy than a jilted relationship. She made several trips to Kuala Lumpur to attempt to confront Baginda, at one point standing in front of his house and screaming “Razak, bastard, come out!” The last time she was seen alive was again in front of his house, when she was bundled into a car and taken away.

She had accompanied Baginda to France when he was involved in negotiating the purchase of two Scorpene submarines and a used Agosta submarine produced by the French government through a French-Spanish joint venture, Armaris, for the Malaysian defense ministry, which was headed by Najib as minister. The submarines were bought through a Kuala Lumpur-based company, Perimekar Sdn Bhd, which at the time was owned by yet another company, Ombak Laut, which was wholly owned by Abdul Razak Baginda.

The €1 billion (RM4.5 billion) contract to buy the submarines was non-competitive and netted Perimekar €114 million. Although Najib has sworn an oath to Allah that he had never met the woman, he was in France at the same time as Najib, one of his best friends, was there, dealing with matters over the submarine. A cousin of Altantuya’s testified at the trial that she had seen a picture of Najib together with the dead woman, but she was quickly hushed up by both defense and prosecution lawyers about the matter and the picture has not been produced.

Altantuya admitted in a letter discovered after her death that she had been blackmailing Abdul Razak, presumably to keep his family from finding out about their relationship. But in his statement to the police, Baginda said he had already informed his family of the relationship; he said she was pressuring him for US$500,000. Her father, Setev Shaariibuu, a psychology professor in Ulan Bataar, has said she was killed because she “knew too much,” although he has never elaborated on that statement.

Given the close relationship between the two men, and that Najib was reported as presenting jackets made available by Perimekar to the submarine crews training in France, and that Altantuya was traveling with Baginda, it is difficult to understand why the court has not pursued the issue of whether they met.

It is also difficult to understand, given published reports, plus the fact that the accused Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar were members of Najib’s own bodyguard unit, that neither Najib nor Musa has been questioned about how the bodyguards came to be accused of Altantuya’s murder.

There have been many other discrepancies as well. Prosecutorial setbacks over the course of the trial have endangered the case. Sirul’s purported confession has been thrown out. The prosecution has attempted to impeach one of the prosecution’s star witnesses, Rohaniza Roslan, a 28-year-old policewoman and Azilah’s girlfriend. Rohaniza said she had seen the victim bundled into a red Proton car and taken away. Later, in court, she said she had been “tortured and coaxed” by police interrogators into signing that statement; she then offered the court a version of events that differed considerably from her initial account.

“The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor cannot remain silent on the latest bombshell,” wrote Lim Kit Siang, leader of the opposition Democratic Action Party. “The credibility and legitimacy of the Abdullah premiership and government will suffer a mortal blow if Abdullah, Najib and Rosmah remain silent on Raja Petra’s bombshell allegations.”

Raja Petra Kamarudin has made a serious statutory declaration on June 18 alleging that Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Najib’s wife, was at the murder scene of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006. Whether the allegation is truth or not is not known… in fact only very few people would know at the moment. RPK has shown his courage over the years, some say he is abusing his influence to bully the politicians.

Altantuya was last seen on Oct 19, 2006 as she was being bundled into a car outside Abdul Razak's home.

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has been asked to explain the claim made in a court testimonial today that he had been photographed with murdered Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.

All ties established between Mongolia and Malaysia may be severed if the courts do not reach a fair decision in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial. Altantuya's father, Dr Shaariibuu Setev, told a press conference that this has been communicated to the Malaysian government.

Day 10 of the Altantuya Trial (29 June 2007)

----------------------------------

Shaariibuugiin Altantuyaa (Mongolian language: Шаарийбуугийн Алтантуяа; sometimes also Altantuya Shaariibuu; 1978 – 2006), a Mongolian national, was a murder victim who was either murdered by C-4 explosives or was somehow killed first and her remains destroyed with C-4 in October 2006 in a deserted area in Shah Alam, Malaysia near Kuala Lumpur.

Altantuyaa was born in 1978. Her parents raised her and her sister while they worked in Russia where Altantuyaa started first grade elementary school. She was reportedly fluent in Mongolian, Russian, Chinese and English.

Altantuyaa moved back to Mongolia in 1990 and a few years later, married a Mongolian techno singer, Maadai. They had a child in 1996 but the marriage ended in divorce and the child went to live with Altantuyaa's parents.

Despite training as a teacher, Altantuyaa briefly moved to France where she attended modeling school before returning to Mongolia. She only modeled part-time, for a brief time also opening a tour business in Mongolia.

Altantuyaa remarried and had another child in 2003 but the second marriage also ended in divorce (this is questionable). The second child also lives with Altantuyaa's parents. Her mother said she never been a model.

She moved to Hong Kong in 2005, it was around this time she met Abdul Razak Baginda, a defense analyst from the Malaysian Strategic Research Centre think-tank, reportedly beginning a relationship with him. Initial reports of Altantuya having a child with Abdul Razak have been proven to be untrue.

Some sources allege that Altantuya came to Kuala Lumpur with a cousin in early October 2006 intending to confront Abdul Razak. When she went missing on Oct 19, her cousin lodged a police report and sought help from the Mongolian embassy in Bangkok.

Malaysian police found fragments of bone, later verified as hers, in forested land near the Subang Dam in Puncak Alam, Shah Alam. Police investigation of her remains revealed that she was shot twice before C-4 explosives were used on her remains, although there has been later suggestion that the C-4 explosives may have killed her. When her remains were found their identity could only be confirmed with DNA testing. The provenance of the C-4 remains unclear.

Abdul Razak and three members of the police force were arrested during the murder investigation. The two murder suspects have been named as Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 30 and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 35. They had been members of the elite Unit Tindakan Khas (the Malaysian Police Special Action Force or counter-terrorism unit) and were both assigned to the office of the Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, who was also the Defence Minister at the time of the murder. Abdul Razak has been charged with abetment in the murder.

Altantuya's brutal murder received wide, detailed coverage in Malaysia, Mongolia and other Asian countries.

The trial was originally going to be held in March 2007, but was postponed until the 4th of June 2007. Due to controversial and last-minute changes in the prosecution and defence teams, and the presiding judge, the trial was again postponed until 18 June 2007. The pre-trial preparations have seen both the prosecution and defence teams level accusations of evidential impropriety at one another.

During the trial there was an incident between Baginda's wife and the victim's father.

In a statutory declaration in his sedition trial in October 2008, Raja Petra accused Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor (the wife of Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak) of being one of three individuals who were present at the crime scene when Altantuya Shaariibuu was murdered on Oct 19, 2006. He wrote that wrote that Najib’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, and Acting Colonel Aziz Buyong and his wife, Norhayati, Rosmah’s aide-de-camp, were present at the scene of the murder and that Aziz Buyong was the individual who placed C4 plastic explosive on Altantuya’s body and blew it up.
