A voice from the dead spoke today in the packed courtroom of Shah Alam.

Burmaa Oyunchimeg, 26, identified a total of six messages written in various pieces of papers by Altantuya when she was still alive.

The first letter, revealed by the prosecution team in the morning, took the packed courtroom by surprise and was read out by the deceased's cousin Burmaa in the Shah Alam High Court today.

The undated letter, written before she disappeared, was addressed to the 'Malaysian government or police or Embassy of Mongolia or newspapers'. [See two-page letter]

Burmaa, 26, who is also known as Amy, said she found the two-page letter in a white Guess bag among other belongings left behind by Altantuya in the hotel on Nov 20.

The others, mostly short messages written on various pieces of paper were revealed in court after the lunch break and are believed to be addressed to Razak.

The origins of the messages have not been established by both sides, but the handwriting was identified by Burmaa as belonging to Altantuya.

One of them included a threat against Rowena's life - Abdul Razak Baginda's daughter.

The message, written on a memo pad from Hotel Malaya, read "If you prefer money than life, it's okay. Hope you'll prefer more than money (than) your Rowena's life. Better hurry, Razak".

Another letter revealed a menacing message asking him "how (he) feel(s)".

"1 account, 1 check and (I) goes. And you (will be) happy. OK. And don't try to cheat me, your friends, your lawyer can't help you. Today is Monday. If now you send, everything will be OK. And by the way, how (do you) feel? Hot boiling temperature? Not yet?" read the message.

Another note signed off by 'Amina' revealed a threat to go over to his house if he didn't call her.

"Razak, don't play, OK. I saw (you) today morning and yesterday too. I will stay at your office outside. Or you call now or else I'll come to your home today. Amina."

Others were less threatening, with only a request for Razak to call her.

"Razak, call me now, I'll wait it outside, you know number. Amina." read Burmaa upon request by Kurup.

She also wrote, "How are you, Mr Razak? My father sent me. Please contact me by tomorrow morning this number 017XXXXXXX. Daughter. I have something, it's asap. My father ask me for".

Expletive-filled SMS

Burmaa was also told to read out a text message filled with expletives Altantuya sent to Abdul Razak's private investigator P Balasubramaniam on Oct 21 last year.

She appeared embarassed and hold the paper containing the SMS message up to cover her face.

After being reproached by the judge, she finally read it out very softly. She was then asked to read it out louder in her normal tone.

The SMS read: "You sick fXXXers listen to me careful .. i'm gonna call his wife .. already report to mongolian consulate in malay ... you chicken shits are in big problem ... i'll do my best i promise .."

Wong Kian Kheong (left) then asked her if she thought that the message was a threat to Balasubramaniam.

She then turned around and responded with a firm 'yes' without the help of her translator and smiled.

The deceased's cousin also said during examination-in-chief by prosecutor Manoj Kurup that Razak would normally contact her mobile phone to speak to Altantuya when she was in Hong Kong.

She revealed that she had received a text message from Razak last year saying: "Amy, can you let Altantuya know I don't want to see her again."

"I told Altantuya about it but she said there was a little misunderstanding and told me that she would go to Malaysia, meet Razak and sort it out," Burmaa said.
She also said that she could not remember when she received the text message.
However, under cross examination by Wong, the witness denied receiving the message.

Wong: On April 2006, you received a call or text message saying that Razak will no longer pay for anything? Do you agree?

Burmaa: No.

However, she affirmed that she spoke to Altantuya about her intention to solve the "little misunderstanding".

Wong: Did she inform you that she didn't meet with Razak?

Burmaa: Yes. She told me she didn't.

Wong: After what she told you, did you ask her if she sorted out this "little misunderstanding" with Razak?

Burmaa: Yes.

Wong: What did she tell you?

Burmaa: She said everything is okay.

The high profile trial continues tomorrow with a new witness.

Razak has been charged with abetting the murder of the 28-year-old Mongolian national.

Two police officers, chief inspector Azilah Hadri, 30, and corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 35, are charged with the murder which allegedly took place between 10pm on Oct 19 and 1am on Oct 20 last year.
