Former PM dismisses Burmaa Oyunchimeg's testimony on 'Paris photograph' as slander.
Former premier Najib Abdul Razak has reiterated that he never met slain Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.
“That is slander. Lies. I never met her,” he told reporters this afternoon when met on the BN campaign trail for the Cameron Highlands by-election.
Najib also pointed out that he swore in a mosque about this in the past.
The former premier was commenting on Altantuya's cousin Burmaa Oyunchimeg's testimony in the Shah Alam High Court this morning.
She reaffirmed that the deceased had shown her photographs of her trip to Paris, in which Altantuya was with two men – Abdul Razak Baginda and a “deputy prime minister” named Razak.
"I asked her who they were, and she (Altantuya) said one was the deputy prime minister and the other was Razak (Baginda) who worked with him and did business together.
"I asked her if they were brothers because of the same name. She said no but they were best friends, business partners and worked together," she testified.
Burmaa (photo) was a witness in an RM100 million civil suit filed by Altantuya's family over her death.
Altantuya's gruesome murder in 2006 has haunted Najib for the past 13 years, despite his repeated denials of any involvement and being cleared by the authorities.
In January 2015, the Federal Court overturned an earlier Court of Appeal decision, and sentenced former police special operations force personnel Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar to death for the murder.
However, Sirul had fled to Australia when the Court of Appeal acquitted the pair.
He is now being held at an immigration detention centre in Sydney since Australian law forbids deporting those who face the death sentence in their home countries.
Razak Baginda, who was accused of abetting the two former police officers in her murder, was acquitted.

The photo! Where is it, now? The answer to this question is the quickest way to follow the path to the truth.
Najib....your end is near.
Malaysians must all wake up and open up our minds to this episode playing out before our very eyes, the world and God. Najib said he swore in the mosque publicly to absolve himself. Altantuya's cousin also swore publicly in our court to say what she believes is the truth, the whole truth and so God help her. Again, the decision as to whose truth is more acceptable is before our court, but one of them is surely not truthful. Najib is already mired in many falsehoods since and before May 9th. Islam will eventually be brought out in the open for people over the world to criticise (that swearing in mosque bit), should Najib be eventually found culpable. If Malaysian courts find Najib's swearing is "more acceptable and convincing" again Islam is exposed to international criticism, and this is what Najib has invested in to save himself - a truly nacissistic character all in all.
