The Altantuya Shaariibuu murder that took place in Malaysia 10 years ago remains shrouded till today in a layers of injustice. Affecting the hearts of Malaysians, Mongolians and even Australians, we now need to ask ourselves: are we so busy with our own pursuits that seeing justice done to this slain woman, mother and daughter matters not any more?

It is a shame to not one but three governments as we hear from the agonised father of the slain Altantuya, Dr Shaariibuu Setev, who reports now that he “suspects Mongolia, Malaysia and Australia have colluded to mute the politically sensitive case of an ex-Malaysian policeman who murdered his daughter a decade ago and has lately been held in an immigration detention in Sydney”.

Even the way the poor, lonely soul was killed is far more gruesome than the butchering acts of a terrorist. But most media are more willing to splash their pages with an IS incident but not the continued suffering of the family members of Altantuya.

“She was shot twice in the head before being wrapped in plastic explosive and blown to pieces in a forest on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. The motive for the crime and the source of the policemen’s orders remain unknown.”

And yet, after 10 long, painful years, the growing children and the ageing parent of the murdered victim cannot see justice dawn.

Mongolia is silent.

Australia rides rough shod, keeping one of the killers in safe, secured comfort and away from the spotlights of justice.

And the Malaysian prime minister is not forgotten as he was infamously quoted to have assured the main player, Razak Baginda, that all will be well soon. And the Malaysian court ruled that motive was not essential for the case in hearing.

To date the case continues to haunt citizens who still do have a conscience and continue to hope in justice.

But if Mongolia, Malaysia and Australia do not see the importance of ensuring that justice is done, seen to be done and acceptable to the three countries’ hallways of justice, will the citizens of these three countries just let it slip like a cloud?

If there is no conclusive justice it also means that we the citizens of the three countries have failed. We failed in ensuring that our governments and their judiciary have lived up to the last letter in the name of justice.

A lone woman was blown away into nothingness, and the three governments cannot act in the best interest of all those citizens demanding for justice?

Then all this talk about championing human rights, defending democracy and building nations that are caring societies is all c**p. And do we continue to let this shame hang over on Mongolia, Australia and Malaysia?

Citizens of the three countries must now ask one ultimate question: Do we let it be and let the dust of guilt blanket the gruesome, world unprecedented murder or do we come together and ensure that the future is safe from all these vested interest politicians who claim to fight for their people?
