The Malaysian police do not have the answers. The home minister does not know, too. And the Palace of Justice seemingly has made a ‘hands-off’ on the case.

Now that the prime minister of Malaysia has weathered his political party’s battles with potential contenders from Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s faction, would he now kindly spare the time and energy to direct the nation to find the answers to the brutal slaying of a fragile lone woman from Mongolia?

As the leader of this nation of people whom he has branded under his 1Malaysia sloganeering, would he put his best foot forward and demand on behalf of all the concerned and caring citizens of Malaysia and the curious outside world for an answer to the still elusive question of who killed this woman, mother, daughter and citizen of a foreign land in our own backyard?

Or is he not going to be perturbed by the fact that not only was Altantuya Shaariibuu murdered but it was done in a manner that pales even war crimes?

Is he also not curious to want to know how come the annihilating C4 bombs were taken out from the safe and used to blast the murdered body into nothingness?

There is more, Najib Abdul Razak. Are you, as the leader of a nation, also not wanting to get honest accountability to help establish how come the immigration records of Altantuya went missing?

And honorable prime minister, how about even being curious to know why did the courts deemed motive as non-essential in this particular case?

You have been teaching us to be responsible. You have been asking us through your Palace of Justice to respect court verdicts and not run foul for contempt of court. You have been re-branding your political leadership as a moderate statesman who is concerned at creating a progressive nation.

You preached about “You help me, I help you” remember, sir? Now can you through leadership by example please help us to redeem our honour, integrity and pride in the eyes of Mongolia and the world at large by pinning down this mother of all crimes?

But the again, sir, how come you are so tight-lipped insofar as the Altantuya murder goes?

How come you as the number one man of this nation are not in a position to openly demand that this long outstanding case that has not found any killers nor motive for killing but only established with an unprecedented legal record that motive “tak pakai” and set free those set for the hangman’s noose, be investigated at all costs and justice rendered?

What about your right hand man in charge of the home ministry? Are you not going to tell him to get cracking on the case and leave no stone unturned as it involves the sanctity and honour of this country?

Please mister honourable prime minister, the world is anxiously waiting to hear from you. If your publicist advisers are not telling you this, then there is a dead rat somewhere and you  must deal with it, sir!

The fight for justice for Altantuya and Mongolia is a national concern and certainly your men need to be told by you, sir, that it is harbours on national security. Surely your senior advisers in the cabinet should know.

Or shall we just dismiss this whole episode as a non-issue and with the attitude that after all it was only one miserable woman who deserved to die at our hands?
