'Minister's reply meaningless, Altantuya case not over'

Women’s Minister Rohani Abdul Karim’s statement that the Altantuya Shaariibuu case has been “dealt with” is meaningless as justice has not been served, said PKR.

"When Rohani said the case had been 'dealt with', it doesn't mean anything to the majority of Malaysians because justice has not been served.

"I hope that the Najib Abdul Razak administration will heed my advice and weigh this issue carefully. They must understand that while they may postpone the issue, they cannot hide from it.

"One day, there will be justice for Altantuya," said former PKR vice-president R Sivarasa (left).

"It needs to be said as this is an issue of justice for private investigator (PI) Balasubramaniam and his family," he said during the Selangor government’s visit to widow S Selvi's house in Rawang today.

The case is still under investigation until today and efforts to track the murderer have been fruitless, he added.

He was commenting on the women, community and family development minister’s response last Tuesday to a memorandum from a Mongolian delegation at the Global Summit of Women in Kuala Lumpur.

The Mongolian Women's Federation that attended the conference had spoken to the media there, urging the Malaysian government to provide answers to the mysterious death of Altantuya and to convene a new trial.

However, they were eventually unsuccessful in handing the memorandum to the government.
